I’ve just got one of these. I’m so far down the sim racing rabbit hole that if I want to reach the surface I’m better off continuing to dig rather than turn around. The rig is amazing….i have the Sparco EVO seat and that’s really comfortable.
Haha, you're in too deep now to even think about getting out 😁
@@davecamm I think you're right and I'm loving it!
Great video - as a P1 owner I was interested to hear your comments and appreciate how candid you were. Cheers 🍻
Cheers Dave the triple mount looks good, just ordered it for my Christmas present, with your link 👍
I literally just googled Sim Lab P1X Pro review... like, right this second... this is handy!
Thanks for your time this morning and giving me the measurements of your rig!
You really didn't have to do that mate, I'm happy to help. But it's much appreciated thank you 🙏
@@davecamm do you have any photos of how you mounted your peripherals to this chassis? Like button box. Keyboard tray? Thanks.
I have the P1-X and the integrated triple mounts, I love my rig and don't see any reason to want to upgrade anytime soon but whenever it's time for a new rig this seems very cool.
Looks brilliant. I’m well enough to play golf again for the first time in 8 years, so sim racing is on the back burner a bit till winter but I’ll always watch yours, Jules’ and Dans stuff - Go the CamFam!!!
Instant watch! Mine should be shipping any day. I'm so excited.
Just bought mine and set it up, I love it!
Looks Great Dave. Thanks for the info. I am sure I will never have anything as nice as this but hope to build me a wood cockpit one day in the future.
Awesome video Dave, I'm really starting to love your "not a review" videos!
I own a Trak Racer TR160 and personally, I prefer the more industrial look of the extra channels combined with the red finishing strips that they provide. I recently saw the new Sabelt rigs and admittedly, they do look great, but have seriously decreased functionality. Wasn't that the whole point of extrusion rigs, to have the most functionality? Ive got gear bolted to my rig that wouldn't be possible with this rig or the Sabelt's. And I'm not a fan of these angled uprights that a few companies are doing now either, I prefer adjusting my wheel deck height independent of the wheel's forwards and backwards position. Monitor stand looks awesome though, I have the Integrated Trak Racer mount and although its does the job fine, it's not on the same level as that one. Great rig for minimalists but not for the accessory addicts out there.
Another relevant and informative video Dave. Keep up the good work ! I see you put the SIM Lab pedals on the new rig are they that good ?
Removing the outside slots is the reason I didn't get the p1x pro.
Form should follow function.
Thank you Dave! I love the clean look of it for sure.. Do you reckon you would have upgraded on your own at any point Dave?
Looks like an awesome setup for sure 🤘
Does look really clean & sharp - nice .....
Coming from the perspective of the guy who has been waiting to get the first "good rig"... This video couldn't have been better timed. Thanks for the great info as always Dave!
My next big upgrade. Can't wait
How well does it work with your bass-shaker isolation system?
I would expect the monitors attached to the uprights must add weight which would dull/lower the isolation and add rake to the rig in the form of pitching forward on the springs.
Great video. I am trying to advise on which monitors to buy for my sim rig. I looked through your videos and saw where you went to one mo9nitor but now seem to be back to three. Am I missing the video where you showed this? I just had 4 Samsung - Odyssey BG65B 32” 1000R Curved 240Hz monitors delivered and somehow in my research didnt nortice that they are VA panels not IPS. So now I am not sure if I should return them or stay with them. Any advise?
Would you recommend free standing monitor stands or the integrated ones for triple 27"?
I just ordered the X1 pro that had the floor deck.
What about the asus bezel free screens? Will you be adding those to your triple monitors?
Dave, what is the distance between the uprights? I would like to put the P1X Pro front mount on my P1X for the SC2.
Hey Sim Lab come with this beautiful project to Brazil! The profiles available here aren't beautiful as this one! Great blue! It would be an instant buy!
Did you switch from single screen to triple screen again?
Awesome video Dave. Do you roughly know the weight of this rig? im thinking about buying this rig and it would go in the attic however im a little concerned about the weight. i cant find any weight numbers on simlab website. Thanks
Is there any TC & wheellock support for iRacing on Simhub for the Grid Brows ? I set it up but the leds doesn’t come up when TC, wheellock is active…Am I doing something wrong ? Also black flag also doesn’t work.
All the others: ABS, green, yellow, blue, white flags, pit limiter, lowfuel, spotter etc all work really well.
Appreciate any help, thanks 👍
Looks great! Do we all get one? I assume they're sending them out alphabeticaly 🤔 I'll give em a couple of weeks 😉🤣 Jokes aside i think it looks great! Some lovely features. The rounded corners are a lovley touch 👌 Not sure about the lack of attachment capabilities like you mentioned. They must know us sim racers love to tinker 🤷♂️
I also think the price is fair all things considered...but ill give you 2 weeks before your O-Rouge is on there. They really need to up their seat game. Great honest review as always though mate 👍
Nice rig Dave I always loved SimLabs products & still do. My choice if I was buying for looks and at that price point I think I would love to own one of them new Sabelt rigs they look the business to me.
Yes the Sabelt ones look very nice 👍
Not a fan of this forward leaning uprights trend. Just no purpose at all and makes no sense
It is stupid and makes it look like a treadmill even more and cramps you its just a stupid trend companies are doing and nobody asked for it
Actually there is one, although just one I can think of. It gives you more leg room climbing in and out of the rig. I often have to stand onto the my seat first and then drop in.
Yeah, but it sucks for accessories. Basically can't use anything anymore because they would put them at angle.
@@larry9167 exactly also it gets in the way of your monitors. Just makes zero sense other than just to be different
Like you said Dave you get what you pay for. Did you mount the 4th monitor to the Vario mount as well? Cheers.
Yes I mounted it to the integrated mount 👍
Just a few questions for you Dave. Firstly was the total price of £1,218 in the black friday 10% off and including the shipping, bank charge conversion £ to € and import tax?
Secondly, Do you have a spare seat mount haha. Reason i ask is i ordered the p1x pro with the single screen mount and the seat but i forgot to add the seat mount bracket. The cost took from my bank was £978 and Im awaiting bill from courier (import tax) hoping less than £200. Btw you're one of my go to channels for great content
Ahhh you will be glad you missed the gr86 madness this week... i really should soend some time maintaining my rig.
I'm looking at getting something from sim-lab, not sure if this is the one or the X1-Pro, do you have any thoughts on this vs the x1? I know its more expensive, but its got vertical mounts rather than slanted, and it has a base plate.
The X1 pro uses parts from the old P1. That tells you the old P1 is a great pocket and his new cockpit is a bit of a downgrade. They're all great cockpits though.
While it may seem a bit pricy at first glance it is actually not too bad for what you get.
It certainly looks a lot nicer than a lot of the profile rigs out there.
At the end of the day a rig is the foundation that you build on when you start your sim racing journey.
While rig shopping recently I spent many hours adding up the total cost for pretty much every major rig out there. Including the "lower spec" tr120 as well as the p1-x clone from gt omega. Both wound up being either the same price or more expensive once I added in accessories the p1-x came with default.
I don't know where he got pricing from as mine came to £1,200 and that's for the single monitor mount bracket and no seat mount. OK he may of not factored in shipping cost (£64) but nor did he say 10% discount of total so in end this figure of £1,218 he gave doesn't add up in reality to my purchase placed on bf 24th November, and yes I'm in uk too. Feel abit let down and wish I'd ordered the triple monitor bracket bundle and the seat mount so exactly like for like just to see if it actually comes in at £1,218 total (and that's without the bf 10% discount
I've had a P1 for a few years and I still love it, sim lab stuff is top quality and their customer service is excellent.
Do the angled uprights make the rig easier to get in and out of?
Yes most definitely 👍
Cheers@@davecamm , proper old man question that :D
I'm glad I got one of the last P1-X rigs just 2 months ago. The Pro looks better, but I don't think I could even fit all accessories that I currently have on the P1-X (keyboard holder, SR2 Motion system, button box, Led flags etc). So in my book this is a downgrade.
Hey Dave, Love your content! I just picked up this cockpit and the triple upgrade and I will be utilizing 27" monitors and my question is, what is the width (metric) at the widest point of this setup (assuming you're running 27")? SL's website states 580MM but I'm assuming that that is the chassis base measurement. Any help would be appreciated.
I've just measured it for you. The outside edge of my 27" monitors is 145cm but the monitor arms are a little wider and 160cm. That's at approx 60 Deg monitor angle 👍
Thank you for doing this for me, it looks like it will fit where I plan on installing it. Thank you for the quick reply and keep the good content coming!@@davecamm
You're welcome mate 👍
Is the triple integrated monitor mount compatible with other rigs? I have a rseat a160 aloy profile.
Yes I can't see why not 👍
i just recently got the p1x instead of the p1x pro due to the angled design of this meaning it is not compatible with various accessories i play to add to it. Also p1x is cheaper a bit so i opted for the none pro version
Who still sells the older P1X?
@@chuckystangmicrocenter
Dave, a question: I am about to order a P1X Pro, and was wondering if it would it be a better idea to get it for example with the Sparco R333 seat that has an adjustable back? I´driven several cars on track in the past with bucket seats like that one, and found them great in that they give you a lot of support but I don´t know if an adjustable reclining one would be more comfortable for a sim where one may spend hours at a time (I usually spend four to five hours a day on iRacing). In reality, we don´t need any support unless we go for a motion sim which I am not. What is your (and other´s) take on this?
I have the R333 and it's a great seat. Definitely more comfortable than any bucket seat I've owned 👍
@@davecamm Thanks for the very quick reply and for the advice!
I’ve been looking at at sim lab for the last 3-5 months and they haven’t even had a seat listed on their site in that time. Are they going to start carrying stock on that seat? I agree the blue seat looks gorgeous. Do you feel the seat is comfortable enough to sit in it for 3-4 hours? Is it sturdy? Thanks Dave 😊
If you're in America, Microcenter sells them. I bought a black Speed1 XXL from them 2 weeks ago.
Might be because you live outside of the EU. Those seats aren't available outside of the EU.
@@larry9167 thank you. Well that really sucks 😔
Just watched your ''why I went back to a single screen from 3 months before this video...''. Why did you go back again to triples? was it the new cockpit and triple screen mount review opportunity or is this a second racing rig? Love your videos...
A couple of reasons. Computer upgrades meant I could run triples again at a frame rate I was happy with, plus an opportunity to take a look at this rig. I'm a little bit frustrated with the scene right now and it's becoming a thing to say you NEED triples. This is rubbish so I'm going to race on a single screen for a month or so just to confirm I don't need the side screens. The triples will stay in place though 👍
I do have another rig in the room with triples too
@@davecamm really appreciate you replying. I've just gone from VR back to a 43" single and the fomo of triple screens is very real. My calculated fov says 58' but I feel a lot more comfortable with 72'. I guess virtual rear mirror is the compromise needed on a single screen. Iracing is so immersive for me anyway, I just need to remind myself that I'm here to have fun, not miss out. Keep on truckin' 🤗
Hey Dave, do you know of any cockpits that can be a mix between sim racing and simulator flying?
The ASR pro at Avanced Sim Racing with that adjustable wheel deck
@@AdamOutlaw87 i'll have a look into it, thank you
How do you like the Speed 1 seat? I found one locally on sale, but I'm not sure if I should buy it.
I like it. It's a little snug for me on hips but apart from that it's good 👍
Awesome, thank you 🙂@@davecamm
Dave I bought those monitors you recommended, you failed to mention that the bezel wont line up on triples due the the fact the speaker part is thicker then the bezel
Mine line up just fine. The side monitors just sit behind the centre monitor a tiny bit. You can see from my original video that it's fine
well mine dont, cant show a pic on here
@@davecamm
It seems really great, just one question, how much would you have paid, if you had bought it?? Is it worth it?
I've paid a similar price in recent times for a rig which is nowhere near as good in terms of material and finish So yes, I'd buy it.
did i miss the part when lights Go on and we see the rig? 😅
Expensive but very nice.
the profile looks a lot thinner and cheaper than the og p1x, the monitor mount looks great though
Apparently it's 30% lighter which brings down the shipping cost massively 👍
Hey dave🙂
hello dave i bought myself a invicta base 4 iracing could you send me your setings
I am in process of looking to buy a aluminium profile rig, and this is what I've been eyeing for. And I was expecting to spend about 1500-1800eur for the rig + seat (I drive in VR, so I don't need to worry about monitors). And I was positively surprised about the price of this one 785.2€ for the rig, and about 420€ of the seat which would be about 1200€ and the place I've looked it from g-performance has free delivery (in EU) for anything over 768eur (all prices mentioned includes VAT). And this solidified my decision, cheers!
Though I need to solve issue of not having wheel for a bit, thanks to Fanatec's amazing logistics (+black Friday, to be fair) and selling my old one for family friend's kid :D
I have actuators.SFX Other motors and so on. So while it looks great the PRO version is actually a downgrade from the P1X. Put the pro on the original P1X and call this the P1X
Im curious: why is it a downgrade? Harder to mount actuators to the new profiles? Would be nice to know :)
And there should be some advantages with the new pro: for example, being lighter should be better I would guess?
Vario monitor mounts are convenient and practical, but certainly not essential...
Once you have Vario'd you'll never go back. 😜
@@bertram-raven Why should I buy something else If I already have Vario? Makes no sense,...but if I have something else I can make that work too. It just takes a bit longer.
Looks very clean. I want to race with vr again eventually, so it seems great to me anyway.
The X1 Pro which is the most expensive still uses parts from the old P1X including the pedal mounts. This newer one is actually more of a downgrade. Still beautiful and a more pleasant cockpit to look but you're older one, P1 is still a higher version of a cockpit. Would I take any of the two, heck yes. Give me any cockpit.
Really disappointed in this honestly. The P1X was my dream rig now I have to look elsewhere. Maybe TR160
Just FYI, just been told by Simlab Support that they're now not looking to distribute rigs (including the P1X Pro) to the UK until April 2024 at minimum due to shipping/customs issues. Gutted as I've had my eye on this rig for months now 😒
My total wasn't £1,218 and I purchased it in the black friday deal of 10% off plus I went for the single monitor bracket option I was expecting it to come to less than a £1,000 given 10% off and single monitor option but my total was £1,237 shipped to UK. Took 7 weeks to arrive. I can't work out where this price of £1,218 came from. But may be a deciding factor for anyone looking to buy
That's not really bad considering its the triple mount and seat for 1500 usd
First one to comment. 🎉 go Dave. Big fan here.
Still has horrible to adjust pedal plate.
I think it's as good as you're going to get 👍
Delivery time is just horrible at simlab!
Im gonna be grumpy and say the old p1x, in silver is the best. not a fan of this, nor the X1 thing.
one of the best? paid sponsor... we want the old p1x not this
They are not selling p1x any more, if I was in the market right now I would just buy gt omega prime. This is probably a paid sponsor I agree and for some reason simlab is just shooting themselves in the foot.
If it was a sponsored video I would have said so 👍
Yeah but you got the rig for free and if you talk bad about them they'll probably not gonna send you anything like it in the future. If you think the rig is good, fine, but I strongly disagree. I mean it's a sim racing cockpit, not a girl I'm going out with, I don't care about looks. It needs to keep my base firmly alongside with every other accessory, shifter, handbrake, buttonbox etc. And it just can't do that as nicely as a normal 8020 profile rig can, and it can't be as easily customized. So it seems like a downgrade for me and unfortunately they're not even selling P1X any more. What I wish they had done is taken the old P1X and made the pedals and the seat more adjustable so you can easily change between F1 and GT/rally style. @@davecamm
Why is the old one better?
@@anthonyhj559I did say the lack of slots might be a downside for mounting things. I said I didn't think you'd get a performance increase from the p1x which I've been using. Not sure what else you wanted me to say?
Regarding being sent things, I never ask and thankfully I'm in a position in life that I'd just go and buy something if I wanted it.
Big downgrade from the original. There is a reason why the price actually went DOWN after years for a new version. It is a cheaper built. The only advantage of it being lighter is if you are using it with a motion sim. Otherwise, more weight = more better :)
When I saw that they have discontinued the original, I bought the ASR6. I was dead set on P1-X before then.
This comment makes no sense😂
I just got one of these with the xp1 pedals i love it time to get a new pc for triples🫠
