Never thought physically feeling rumble strips via the Buttkicker gamer plus haptic feedback system would be the highlight of my day.
Really enjoying messing around with this device. It has been a great addition to my simracing rig. Review incoming

Rumble motors sound like a lot of fun. If I didn’t live in an apartment I was thinking of getting a set. I hear that they make up for a lot of the missing info from iRacing FFB. Does that seem to be true?

@BURN I've only been able to spend a bit of time with it but I really like it. I think it does add a lot to the feel that you normally wouldn't get from just the wheel.im still dialing in the settings but just sitting here feeling the LMP3 idle through my rig is really cool, let alone feeling when it starts to slip etc.
I'm lucky where my wife doesn't care about noise and my rig won't bother anyone where it's located. So I'm very fortunate there.

There are options for isolating the rig from the floor so your neighbours can't hear it. It actually gives you a better experience since all the energy stays in the rig, so it feels much stronger. I have my rig on the second floor of a townhouse and you can't hear it from the first floor.

Hello fellow LMP3 driver with new bass shakers. I have two Dayton Audio BST-1s (one for the seat one for the pedals) and I'm working on DIY RaceBass isolators for my seat/pedals. Be careful about how deep the tactile rabbit hole goes, I see people spending thousands!
