Caster Wheel & Brake Kit for NexusRig Apex, Velocity & Formula Tube Cockpits

Caster wheel and brake kit for tube cockpits: overview

This caster wheel kit lets you roll your tube cockpit to a new spot without lifting it, then lock it in place with the integrated brakes for racing or flying.

It is heavy-duty and made for high-end cockpits with direct drive bases and load cell pedals.

It works best on flat, hard floors; on carpet, put a rigid board under the rig.

Choosing and building a sim rig

Rigidity first. A cockpit exists so the force your wheel base produces goes into your hands, not into a flexing frame. Direct drive bases need a stiff front mount; aluminium profile rigs (40 mm and 80 mm extrusion with 8 mm slots) are the stiffest and most adjustable, while steel tube rigs are lighter and quicker to assemble.

Driving position. GT position puts you upright with the pedals low; formula position reclines the seat and raises the pedals. Check whether the cockpit, seat bracket and pedal mount allow the position you want.

Plan the extras. Monitor stands, shifter and handbrake mounts, keyboard trays and PC shelves bolt onto most profile rigs. Planning them up front avoids drilling or re-assembling later.

Setup and use

1. Lift one side of the rig at a time.
2. Fit the casters to the base.
3. Lower the rig and lock the brakes.

Care and maintenance

Keep the wheels clean; check fixings occasionally.
