Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Back in 2015, Tommy Frank and Steffen Hansen from Denmark started a Kickstarter funding project to realize their dream of manufacturing the RacingCUBE motion simulator founding the FaseTech Company. In 2017, Tommy and Steffen proudly introduced the V1 consumer version of the RacingCUBE RC4-4DOF motion simulator.
The past few years the design has been updated and is now in its third iteration. To showcase all the updates, FaseTech uploaded a new product video, outlining all the features of the RC4-4DOF Version 3.
With the design of the RC4-4DOF, FaseTech created an affordable full-motion platform for racing games and simulations featuring a compact footprint without compromising the driving experience. FaseTech tried to incorporate all the features such as 360 degrees of rotation, the adjustable center of rotation, and optional sway and surge functions which are usually only found in far more expensive systems. Importantly, the developers tried to avoid over-engineering the racing rig to keep the price down.
The RacingCUBE RC4-4DOF is fitted with three very fast (RC3) servo actuators and is designed to be able to provide maximum performance without the need of bolting the simulator to the floor and provides a perfect one-to-one ratio between vehicle rotation and simulator rotation.
The RC3 gives you 600 degrees of rotation, but the standard setting is 360 degree to prevent it from winding up the cable. With the parallel wheel configuration, the center of rotation is between the wheels. That means you are sitting in front of the center of rotation, and it will not only rotate your body but drag it in the opposite direction of the rotation. That means it makes both the yaw and sway effect at the same time. The frame is pre-drilled to fit a selection of the most popular wheels and pedals on the market.
Hardware is only as good as the software that powers it. Therefore, the RC4-4DO comes with the SimTools 2.0 Pro Motion control software package which already supports more than 80 titles, with new ones added on a regular basis.
