I had the complete kit built in less than 2 hours (minus controller, seat, and bass shaker mounting). I’ve built a lot of DIY and scratch built items but wow – this kit exceeded my expectations in terms of ease! If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can assemble this kit. I sent payment and had 2 large boxes arrive less than 10 days later. I was preparing to build version 2 when I came across DOF Reality’s very economical kit. I still made some mistakes and ended up with a heavy but under-powered rig with a little too much play in the levers.

It took minutes for me to have the M2 moving around.įor anyone considering this, buy it!! I built my own motion simulator 2 years ago with a ton of help from the awesome users.

They provide a good set of instructions and a software package that installs the driver and SimTools software and game plugins. I’m finding that I like the angle of hitting my brake pedal better in the higher position, which has been an unexpected benefit of the higher seating position.ĭOF Reality makes it real easy to get the M2 up and running. I ended up about 2 inches higher than my seat was previously. I selected the floor mount version because of how low it sits so that I could keep my seat as low as possible. In order to position your seat in the best center of gravity position on the M2, you will need to have it mounted on seat slider rails, which fortunately I had.ĭOF Reality has mounting options for the M2 for various cockpits, like the Playseat. I had a seat from an old rSeat RS EVO V3 that I needed to mount to the M2. The control box is made of metal and is well constructed, but a little on the large size: 12” wide, 10.5” deep, 5.25” high, and weighs about 7 pounds. Some of the Styrofoam was brittle, so keep a vacuum cleaner nearby when removing the contents (or better yet, do it in the garage). It was very well packaged and was delivered with no damage to the box. The M2 and its controller came in one box with the contents encased in Styrofoam. It showed up at my door just like I had ordered it from a US retailer. September 21: M2 delivered to me in Columbia, SC, USA via FedX (delivery was attempted the day before, but since no one was home, they left a door tag, which I signed and left on the door for delivery the next day) September 13: M2 shipped from Zaporizhia, Ukraine via TNT. When I placed the order, DOF Reality emailed me that it would take about three weeks for it to be produced and delivered, and that is exactly how long it took. There is always some buyer’s remorse with type purchases. In hindsight, I’m not sure that was the right move. I had space considerations and did not want to have to buy new triple monitor stands, so I opted instead for the M2.
#Sim seat full#
I could have gotten their full motion H2 for $1,534 USD shipped. I’m glad I did.Īnyone considering the M2, should also take a hard look at getting one of DOF Reality’s full motion rigs. So, when I stumbled upon the M2 in the iRacing forums and then did some research about DOF Reality, I decided to give the M2 a try. Even the used ones I thought about buying were over $2,400. For years I wanted a V3, but just didn’t think paying $3,000 was worth it. Priced at $999 USD, shipped, the M2 costs much less than NL. Anyone considering a seat mover should strongly consider the M2. My challenge now is to find software settings that provide movements that best compliment running iRacing, the only sim I use. It is a good piece of hardware that provides a lot of seat movement. I have my DOF Reality seat mover M2 up and running.
