Default Fanatec sim hardware

Where are the places to look for good used gear?

I'm looking for
- Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals (inverted would be preferred)
- Fanatec Podium hub adapter
- Fanatec Porsche / BMW steering wheel
- Fanatec shifter / e-brake

Any rennlisters looking to upgrade?

Rob

I have conventional (floor pivot) V3 pedals and a 918 wheel that I would be interested in selling. PM me with your offer.

IRacing hardware forum has a ton of used stuff. You can camp there for like a week or two and probably get all that.

For example, I bought a sequential HE shifter from a guy in Kensington on Saturday.

Thanks to Peter, I now only need an e-brake and shifter.

Go Thrustmaster for Shifter.
TH8A or Th8RS. For the value, blows away Fanatec and is way more compact. Extremely reliable and customizable as well.

Yup, TM is a good choice. My chassis has provisions for a Fanatec shifter, and the e-brake attaches to the Fanatec shifter conveniently. So that's a main driver. I tried both shifters, but not at length. If I'm being honest, I really don't care too much about H patterns. I just want to give drifting a try. I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks Elliot!

Where do people get their rigs for Sims?

There are many prebuilt ones that fit a wide range of sizes/styles.
Most simmers actually go down the 80-20 route and build their own. The gear itself is normally just bought piece by piece, depending on budget it's pretty easy to see the standout in each budget bracket.

Most of the people I work with buy a done rig or a frame and put the components together. Most just buy turn-key.

I like the Fanatec Rennsport Cockpit or the VisionRacer (not even sure if that's still around) frame, Jeff Lutes' stuff in GA, Sim Seats in Richmond VA, I'd talk to Crimson Simulations in Mooresville, NC. There are a ton of choices.
