3 Comments on Thermaltake Debuts the GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit and the Triple Racing Monitor Stand
However, I must admit, the TT's (or rather its OEM's) design, looks interesting, and even superior to many similar unibody/one-piece cockpits. This might be the first time, I really like ThermalTake product, or at least the concept. The frame looks solid, but I'm not sure the wheelbase plate mounting is sturdy enough to withstand the heavy high torque DD wheel bases/servo motors, akin SimSteering 2, or Simucube 2, etc. Gotta wait for honest review, since there's not a single one, except some ads on YT and Instagram.
And the RGB stripes are surely excessive. Not sure if it's worth getting this, over 80/20, if the price gap is small.
