I had looked at motion many times before and always wanted to take that step but budget was a factor. I first tried a Next Level V3 and it was ok worked well but quickly developed some huge slack in the gears meaning when racing the seat moved back when braking hard. This happened within a week or so and got worse so ended up returning it.
Though the seat mover was ok but full motion was the aim. I considered sourcing all the parts for the SFX 100 myself but was put off by the extra work and waiting it would involve along with potential costly mistakes in constructing. I then found E Racing labs kit and it came In at reasonable price. After several emails back and forth with questions I ordered the RS Mega + Kit. The customer service up to this point had been on point and all questions answered quickly and concisely.
A few days after placing my order I received a call from the owner of E racing labs explaining there had been a website problem and they were not able to see my order until now and this was the reason for the delay. To be honest I did not expect anything to happen within a few days considering they are on the other side of the world but the call was welcomed.
A day later I received both tracking numbers for the actuators and another for the motors and servo drivers. One coming from E racing and one direct form the motor factory.
The actuators arrived 3 Days later via DHL and I have an £80 import to pay which was good value. The motors arrived after 7 days, there was a 1 day delay in Korea and unfortunately the UPS incompetence caused one in the UK. They were due Friday 18th Aug for delivery, waited in all day only to get a text at 5pm saying a delivery attempt had been made at 2pm and no-one was available????? A total lie as I was in all day but anyway they arrived on the following Monday and I had an £88 charge to pay, again happy with this.
All of the kit is very high quality and well packaged.I had damage to some pins on one of the DB25 cables and within 24 hours a replacement was on its way, again excellent response and service.
The kit was easy to fit to my Sim lab GT1 Evo and took a few nights to get it all connected and the servos mounted in the Server cabinet. I also made a master switch with an EMI filter installed. All the cables are shielded and I have had not had any problems with EMI. All drivers are preconfigured so it is truly plug and play.
All the cables for the servos and power are terminated well and of a high quality. I purchases sim racing studio and jumped straight into ACC at brands hatch. The first thing I noticed is the defaults in SRS are way too much so I dialled them down and instantly it came to life. What a game changer for me. The only setting up I had to do was in SRS to tell it the number of actuators and position.
Spent many hours tweaking the settings in SRS to get it feeling good and have to say this is probably the best investment I have made in my rig.
I have got to commend Eracing labs for the customer support and delivery all was excellent.
Is it worth the money, hell yes definitely!!!! If you have been on the fence about motion go for it it is worth every penny.
