SFX-100 questions
- Thread starter Elaphe
- Start date
I doubt weight is an issue, I’m 105kg, the rig is probably 140kg with buttkickers, peripherals, GS-5 etc. and it doesn’t struggle at all to throw it all around. I tried it at max speed/acceleration and it was insanely powerful basically unusable at those speeds unless you are trying to simulate a bucking bronco.

It's been 5 weeks since I placed the order with Kinetic but heard nothing back from them. So I'm seriously considering cancelling the order and just get everything from these guys. They quoted me US$2200 for all the parts + CNC stuff, and US$580 for shipping to Melbourne. It's a little higher than my original US$2.5k budget. But I really like the idea of building the whole thing in aluminium instead of plastic.
From what I read, SFX100 can handle hundreds of KG, easily!

I used the ITEM24 profile and it worked fine, only took a couple days to get here to US. There are different STLs you can print that work with this profile, and they were even able to pre-tap all of the big bolt threads for me so I didn't need to buy the tapping tools and inserts. They also were able to provided me with mostly all of the bolts for the project. There is information on how to swap in this profile if anyone is interested. I went with it because they are in the US too and I heard lots of bad stories ordering from Kinetic.

Thanks man. Yes I did look into the ITEM24 option, until I saw pretty good feedback on eracing-lab from other forums. I'm liking the aluminium parts a lot, and the anodised red looks pretty awesome. Now just hoping I can get the refund from kinetic soon.

My guess is your stuff will show up real soon. I think mine took about 6 weeks. Once it moves its like 3 days to get it. You wont hear anything either it will just show up one day.lol

There isn't a whole lot more you can do with the paid version and the license needs to be renewed every year. I suggest to use the basic / free version first. And if he is ready to do something more advance, investing in the Thanos controller and SimTools will be a way better option. Just my 2 cents.

De basic version has full functionality and a lot of tuning options. De expert version gives you only more functions like making your own graph, live tuning and streamdeck support.
We need to wait until Saxxon has worked out his plan to combat commercial abuse of his designs.
I have to admit it takes longer than i thought it would.
The license has an expiration date, but renewing it is very easy once you are in the discord channel.
You do not have to pay on a yearly basis.
Simtools is complicated imho and does not feature things like live tuning.

My SFX100 cost me about £1600 (possibly slightly more), including my 3D printer.
Its great for sim racing, but also converts to flight sims in about 30 sseconds.
You dont need a Thanos unit or sim tools, SFB will do everything you need and is very easy to use and set up.
A photo of your rig will give a better idea, but i promise you wont have any issues with weight.
