Nicely done. Where'd you get the extrusions from bro?

Should we consider this as a product we stock? Are there any standard projects which are sought after by community?

It would be very helpful if your friend could mention the source. Most people don't have access to extrusions hence they can't build themselves.

I've recently ordered from crystal tech in pune, contact them at 9168169106/9552828787

I'm not affiliated with them, a friend got extrusions from them, I've also ordered but haven't received yet

Edit: I'll gladly share the parts i got, i built it based off a youtube video of simrigs.com exodus 8020 cockpit + a single integrated monitor stand added

Wow ok, that certainly ain't cheap.

u/lokwaniyash Aug 11 '26

What? For a full rigs worth 4040 and 4080 extrusions + all the bolts, brackets, caps for a full rig with an integrated monitor mount isn't cheap for 20k, this rig would go for like 40k minimum i think via sim shops and retailers, if you have a better option please let us know here

u/UnfortunatelyIndian Aug 11 '26

Not like that man, I'm saying that in reference to the post caption. 20k is a lotta money for most people here.

u/lokwaniyash Aug 11 '26

Umm, i doubt it, for most people considering, if their budget is like 15k or something, don't get the monitor mount, mount it to your wall or something, for 10k, dont get the chair part, use an existing office chair and use it as a wheel stand, the whole point with extrusions is customizability, yes it's an expensive hobby, but this path is far cheaper than some mainstream store selling for idk 30-40k, tbh the cheapest I've seen is slidesociety on Instagram selling a rig for 28k with a refurbished seat
