How to roll a 150-pound aluminum cockpit across your room, level uneven floors, and dampen bass shaker vibrations.

ASR Caster Wheels vs Adjustable Legs: Rig Mobility & Floor Isolation

Once you bolt a wheelbase, steel pedal tray, and bucket seat onto an aluminum chassis, your rig easily weighs over 140 pounds. Advanced SimRacing makes three floor-contact upgrades in the Advanced SimRacing collection, all eligible for 5% off with code SIMRACINGNATION5.

Common Questions About Cockpit Feet and Casters

Do locking caster wheels wobble under heavy braking? No. The ASR 3" Caster Wheels ($85.49 net with code SIMRACINGNATION5) use dual-action total-lock brakes that lock both the wheel roll and the top swivel bearing at the same time. They also raise your cockpit by about 4 inches, making it much easier to step in and out of a low bucket seat.

When are Adjustable Legs better than Casters? If your rig sits permanently on uneven basement concrete or thick carpet next to a freestanding monitor stand, the Adjustable Legs and Rubber Feet [Set of 4] ($61.74 net) let you level each corner independently while absorbing high-frequency vibrations from a ButtKicker Mount ($33.24 net).
