Monstertech MTX Sim Rig

[RogueSqdn]

I did it myself.  There was a steel post under the seat that I had to cut, then I cut the foam out, and sewed black fabric to cover it, by hand.

 

I've recently gotten a new chair, inspired by a post on reddit.  This is a Jegs 18" wide aluminum racing seat, with 3" foam back and seat cushions (and an old throw pillow under the seat cushion for comfort).

 

A few months back, my mom (who is retired and only lives 5 miles away) asked me to order a sewing machine for her.  My only request was that she make some seat covers for me.  She did, and sewed zippers into them so I can replace the foam when it wears out.  This seat, combined with the foam, sits far enough forward that I didn't need a notch for my flight stick.

 

Here's the result:

Just thought I'd share a few images of my new Monstertech MTX rig (prototype) that replaced my Obutto Ozone. Album: https://imgur.com/a/JEemfuR

 

 

The MTX goes together quite nicely, everything matches and fits. Additional, Monstertech supports all your standard throttles and sticks via mounting plates (well known from their table and chair mounts lineup), while rudder pedals and seats can be mounted via the aluminum profiles.

 

Sadly, the MTX comes without a seat, so I just kept the seat from my Obutto (Monstertech does recommend seats on the EU site, so I am sure there will be a similar solution on the US site when the MTX is ready for prime time).

Sorry for the thread necro, but does the Obutto seat fit without being modded? I'm looking at the same setup for myself and I have an Obutto Rev.
