Maybe I should add that as a sales pitch!I can just imagine people struggling to the toilet with this strapped to their legs!
Actually, use it while on the toilet. 24 hour races with no breaks!
It's definitely a USP(ee)Maybe I should add that as a sales pitch!
VR would possibly be the way to go. Now if someone made a comfy reclining toilet throne, I'd be ready to buy. LOL.I can just imagine people struggling to the toilet with this strapped to their legs!

Yeah I believe they aimed a little high with the dollar amount. I think its a solid product and would sell but they will never raise over half a million dollars. I like at the end of the kickstarter page they state that if they reach 700k they will be able to work on it full time. I would think half a mill would be enough to warrant some full time attention.Half a million for a thing you can do at home and it will cost you like 20 bucks? That's a joke, right? And that's not the biggest issue: think about blood flow into your legs (yes, I know, you are young and restless now, but time is against you, keep in mind that).
Cheers!
Wow just got my g29 today, realised i didnt have anything suitable that i could substitute as a racing rig for my ps3/4 and then tonight this comes up on gtplanet. You guys are lifesavers!
I'll be looking into this definately!
View attachment 643939 I used to use this with my old Logitech wheel, similar idea. No substitute for bolting the wheel to the table though. I still have this bulky piece of plastic hanging around if it's of use to anyone?

Hi, I tried this in testing, you have to grip it with your legs and surface has very little grip so your legs ache very quickly. That’s reason for the straps, they remove the effort to keep it in position.View attachment 643939 I used to use this with my old Logitech wheel, similar idea.

Hi, there seems to be a common issue with the goal so let me try and explain, the goal is based on all the cost needed to tool up, manufacture, and distribute. I think people get used to seeing products on KS which are finished products and you are not really kickstarting a product. You see a finished product designed by team of 6 and they can delivery next month on the £35K goal (for example)? They are just using KS for advertising not for actual helping someone start a business.Yeah I believe they aimed a little high with the dollar amount.

Hi, the straps only need to be loosely done up to provide enough support, you don’t need to ratchet it up! Because of the width of the straps and your legs are on them too it remains very stable, I’ve never had to adjust it mid race.Half a million for a thing you can do at home and it will cost you like 20 bucks?
