Sim rigs get heavy fast: profile frame, direct drive wheelbase, triples, seat, accessories. Moving it can be a workout — and a risk if cables snag or monitors wobble.
Two ways to make a rig movable
- Casters / wheels attached to the rig: easiest for repositioning often.
- Furniture sliders / mats: cheaper, but less precise and more effort.
What to consider before adding wheels
- Stability: does the rig rock under braking?
- Floor type: hardwood, tile, carpet all behave differently.
- Cable slack: moving the rig can yank cables if they’re too tight.
Rig-friendly wheel options
- Feet brackets with 75 mm wheels — a way to add mobility to a profile rig.
- GT‑RS wheels mounting kit — a model-specific option for GT‑RS owners.
Floor protection tips
- Use a protective mat if you roll over delicate flooring.
- Avoid dragging sharp edges or exposed bolts across the floor.
- Make sure the rig is fully stable once positioned (brakes/locks on casters matter).
Mobility is underrated — but only if it doesn’t introduce flex. Treat wheels like a structural upgrade, not an afterthought.
