    Hello everyone,

    I am new here and interested in buying motion simulator for iRacing. I found website called www.simXpereince.com. Does anybody recommend this company or is there something else in same price range. I would appreciate if somebody knows how to contact this company, because I have sent there a couple of emails, but I haven’t got any answers. I live in Scandinavian northern Europe.

    Thanks,
    Toni

    Give him 3 days or so to respond, its only Monday. I have looked around, he has the best deals. for the starter kit, you cant really beat that. If youre not mechanical you can buy the rig base, sim 1, and your set. I hear all kinds of good responses on him.

    You can only beat their prices if you built things on your own. Even then you have to calculate your time in the price which depends on your skillset. The best thing is that the product line allows you to choose how much you want to build, and how much money you want to spend.

    If you are a mechanical guy, the starter kit or the universal motion seat kit could be a good choice and save money on the rest. If you wan't something ready to play, Stage I will make you happy.

    Ive got my wiper sim going and love it, and eventually this is the kit I plan to go with...for 1260 you get 2 actuators which are like 500$ us a piece, then for the 260$ you basically get the power supply, the brains, and the communication wires to the pc....you really cant beat that if you have the money...you wont get a better price in my opinion.....plus you get the warranty, you get the software and library full of profiles. I have found that I spend a lot of time creating my own profiles and if I have the 150mm SCN5 setup I wouldnt have to spend so much time tinkering and cuold spend it racing. if you go for one of the more advanced setups then you get the proper alignment, angles and good quality build with the opportunity for upgrades in the future...so you cna go from 1260 up to almost 6k, but you can do it in stages....if I had the extra cash I would trade in my wiper sim for the actuators but im having fun for now...if you are mechanical wipers can be a whole lot of fun, mine are very responsive and havent dissapointed myself or buddies yet. I was able to complete the build of the sim for less then 400$ us.
