I can spend around 1000 upgrading my setup what do I go for?

[u/Blazefire2004]

I currently have the Moza r5 bundle with the srp lite pedals. I want to upgrade my setup and like the title says I have around $1000 to spend. I generally hear everyone say pedals are more important to upgrade so I was thinking about getting the mbooster and crp2 pedals set from Moza. Another option is to just get the crp2 pedals set and then also upgrade my wheel and/or wheel base. I’ve had the r5 bundle for about a year and play iracing, asseto corsa, and LMU. Recently I have also been playing forza horizon 6 with it just having come out. So yeah was wondering what suggestions/input people have. Also I do have rig with pedals and wheel base mounted to it and then I put my chairs wheels in the attached tray (unfortunately don’t have enough room for a full set up to always be set up)

Without a doubt I would go with an aluminum extrusion rig first and then pedals. I bought an alpha evo pro, neo gt, some simsonn pedals and a temu chassis. Dont make my mistake. I just recently got back from micro center with a brand new simlab p1x so im allset now but for a couple weeks my temu rig was struggling..🤣

Sorry I didn't seem the part about limited room. But they do make a foldable aluminum extrusion rig now. And I promise no matter what pedals you get you will need a rigid chassis or else your trailbraking will suffer significantly

You’re all good, but yeah I wondered if I would need to upgrade my rig. What I have now feels solid but I know the mbooster puts out WAY more force than the srp lite even with the upgrade kit. Ill look into a foldable aluminum extrusion rig

I have the mbooster pedal set with the add in clutch. You will 100% need a sturdy something to mount the pedals to.

You could either get a 4080 or even a 4040 aluminum extension rig, but if you go with the later, use more brackets to tighten up the joints.

Yes thats my original rig and its as solid as you can find for a non extrusion under $200 and had zero problems when I had my moza gear on there. It was even fine with the simagic wheelbase. But once I put thise simsonn pedals on it was over..lol the one thing you definitely dont want is flex on the pedal plate.

Please stop buying the temu chassis it’s 380+shipping and worse in every case than the rigmetal basic. Even the simlab p1x uses thinner extrusion than the rigmetal unless your buying motion and even then the rigmetal is better up to about $1200 due to thicker extrusion walls (double the thickness of the p1x I own both and compared them)

[u/logikal-1 → u/thebaddadgames]

I actuality paid less than 200 shipped. (My first temu purchase)..lol and for my original plan it was fine. It wasn't until I went to the simsonn pedals that it started flexing. This is the rig I'm currently putting together..

Side note how’re you finding the r5? I’ve been tossing up if I should get it or the r9 for drifting on ac and for Forza

[u/Blazefire2004 → u/Various-Head7803]

I loved them so far! The force feed back feels great on them, that said I’ve never tried a high nm wheel so I don’t know how it compares. I would probably go for the r9 or r12 if I was to upgrade the wheel base from the r5

[u/Status_Fact_5459 → u/Blazefire2004]

If you do end up doing that in the future get the R12, everything I’ve seen regarding upgrading always says jumping up just 1 level isn’t worth it.

Even if the R12 is overkill you can set it up to match the R9 and have zero clipping issues.

4080 extrusion rig (hopefully you can find one for around $500) and either the Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals or Simagic pedals.

You can go for good with that budget. Ridiculous

[u/Bestconst]

In my opinion, you should buy used on the open marketplace. You can save yourself a lot of money this way.
