Ricmotech got its name with the RS1 Do It Yourself sim chassis many years ago. I have built one myself and I have met countless of other sim racers who have conquered the same challenge. Since then Ricmotech has expanded into one of the premiere after market product makers in sim racing. Their lineup includes modifications to the ever popular Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels and pedals. It also includes stand alone products such as button boxes and hydraulic pedal sets.
I sat down and interviewed Frank of Ricmotech to talk about the history behind the company and some of the thought process behind some of his great products. It is always such a pleasure to meet the people behind the companies, especially someone like Frank who makes himself very accessible to his clients and potential customers. He is one of the rare cases of someone who actually has all of their contact information right on their website.

I recommend painting it with an oil based primer first, then you can use any type of paint on it. The other option is to wrap it with a vinyl wrap. I would still paint the edges first, then the large areas can be wrapped with a carbon fiber pattern vinyl or custom graphics.

Sean,
I am all signed up and ready to race in the Carrera Cup, except for one thing. How do I obtain Road America? I do not have it in AC as one of my tracks. Where is it?

Great review, you've convinced me to buy one of these for my rig
One question, do you think the mounting brackets could be inverted (and swapped left to right) to mount it from the top?

Hey man. Love your style and input on all your reviews. I have a question: my rig is fo the ps4, it has the thrustmaster t300 Alcántara edition, the fanatec clubsport v3 pedals, the cpx adapter from Basherboards, and I am looking forward to get this fanate shifter. You said that I could connect this shifter directly to the pedals via a USB cable. My question is: is that setup only for pc or will it work with the setup I provided above?
Thanks very much for your answer. I wouldn't wanna have to conform with the th8 because a misunderstanding of compatibility, and missing out on the fanatec Choice.
Thanks a bunch!

Okay 20 minutes is too short. Make the races an hour. Can you make it w/o pitting? I don't know, but with or w/o pitting it would be fun.
