Precog Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Hi guys, thinking of getting a buttkicker gamer 2 for my VR setup. It seems the attachment is for the center pole of office type chairs. I have a standard 4 legged chair which I like, so was just wondering about mounting options in this case - do you screw it onto the underside of the chair? attach it to one of the 4 legs? Cant find the full manual on the web so any feedback appreciated :) Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Brewnix Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Hello Precog just a thought for your chair since you don't have a center post I would check in to something like this. http://www.ricmotech.com/product_p/rmt-bkg2-mnt.htm You could buy a piece galvanized floor flange buy the right pipe diameter for you buttkicker 2 and mount to the bottom center of the chair. http://www.essentialhardware.com/world-wide-sourcing-27-1g-galvanized-malleable-floor-flange-1-207589.html?utm_campaign=google&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CNrx6YOm_84CFReSfgodG4ILjg I wouldn't buy the part from the first link just a idea but local hardware you might be able to come up with something similar.

Precog Posted September 8, 2016 Author Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks for the info Brewnix. That's given me a few ideas. I just noticed there is also a butt kicker simulation kit- I presume you can just screw it to the underside of a chair. Again there is no manual... would this work OK? http://www.pagnianimports.com.au/buttkicker-simulation-kit.html Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kuky Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 The gamer 2 version is I think too weak, you'd be better off with the simulation kit version, and yes, you can just screw the shaker to the seat.

Sea_Gull Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Where are you going to order your buttkicker from? The website has said they have been out of stock for months now. I am asking because I would love to get my hands on one too.
Precog Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Good question... They seem to be in short supply. Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Again there is no manual... would this work OK? http://www.pagnianimports.com.au/buttkicker-simulation-kit.html I actually have the simulation kit its pretty strong. I have screwed it to my cockpit chair just below the center of seat near my stick.I can't compared to the buttkicker 2 cause i have never used it. So I have a wooden cockpit I have built and it shakes it pretty good.. I got mine from buttkicker.com http://www.thebuttkicker.com/simulation-kit I see your across the pond and looks like your site sells a 240volt version of course mine is 110v FYI. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
