Assembling the Simulator
To be able to ship the RacingCUBE effective and securely we need to disassemble a few parts for the
journey. Do not worry, it is quite simple, and we are providing you with the tools needed for
assembly. It should take 2 - 4 hours the first time you assemble it.
Bolts can either be black or chrome. It depends on the model.
Assembling of the rotation plate.
Place the rotation module bracket on the floor and slide the two plates together around it, as seen on
the picture. Attach the two brackets at each side of the connected plates and screw in the two screws
[P07]. This will hold the bracket in place.

- Page 1 Assembling the Simulator To be able to ship the RacingCUBE effective and securely we need to disassemble a few parts for the journey. Do not worry, it is quite simple, and we are providing you with the tools needed for assembly.
- Page 2 Before assembling the rest of the simulator, it is recommended to place the rotation plate where you intent to place it after assembling. Once you have found a good spot, place the simulator base on the rotation plate and continue assembling. Rotation Module It is recommended to find an object to slide under the base to lift it slightly.
- Page 3 Step 2 – Manage the cables as shown on the picture. All connectors and cable should go into the rotation module to ensure the main module is clear. You might need to get access to the simulator from below to be able to attach the connectors. Make sure no cables will get run over or get in the way of the actuators while in operation.
- Page 4 Data cable MUST be attached if the rotation module has power. Step 3 – Pictured to the right you can see the data connector and power connector for the RC4 v2. Attach the two [P02] bolts as showed on the picture. Before tightening the screws make sure the simulator is places on a plain surface.

Page 5: Lower Frame
Lower Frame The frame should be mounted before mounting foot support and steering wheel support. Make sure all screws/finger screws should face outwards off the simulator. [P13] to attach the V-Frame to the base and use another [P13] or a 40mm bolt to attach the steering wheel frame. - Page 6 The version depends on whether you have gotten one or two pairs of hand knobs. Please use the correct item and make sure to tighten it properly. Use the provided hand knobs to fasten the V-Frame to the base. Make sure to fasten it enough to prevent it from sliding while in use.

Page 7: Foot Support
Foot Support Once you have attached the lower frame you can now begin to mount the foot support. - Page 8 To mount the foot support, you need the [P02] Bolts and the included brackets. Mount the bracket on the foot support as showed on the picture above. Do not tighten the bolt and handle yet. Once you have mounted the bracket you can slide the foot support into the V-Frame as showed above, you can adjust the foot support to your liking by using the slide to the left where the bolt is attached.
- Page 9 When you have found the desired placement for the foot support you can tighten the bolt and handle. With the upgraded design of the RC4 v2 you can easily swap your foot support by loosening the handle and slide it out. This way you can change from car pedals to rudder pedals in no time! Steering Wheel Mount The steering wheel mount is quite easy to attach, just slide it into place and tighten the included thumb screws...
- Page 10 Seat Mount The seat slider supports most standard seats on the market. If you are unsure your seat fits, please consult the manufacturer regarding mounting measurements. You can see ours on the image below. Some configurations will have bolts included [P01] [P10].

Page 11: Emergency Stop
Emergency Stop The emergency stop is placed at the right side of the simulator, to attach it use the [P02] bolt. You can choose the angle of the mount as you see fit, it does not have any practical benefits as long as you can reach it quickly. - Page 12 Finishing Assembly As the simulator offers modularity and the use of your own gear, we cannot manage most of the cables beforehand. Beneath the seat is plenty of room for excess cables and a power strip and maybe an extra USB HUB if you need it. The management of cables to various places is usually done with Velcro or zip ties depending on the location.

Page 13: Connecting The Pc
Connecting the PC To connect the simulator to your computer just plug in the long USB cable provided. Only one cable is required to operate the simulator and it should go into the USB-B connector. The other two USB-A connectors are for accessories of your choice. To proceed with the installation of the software please continue with the SimTools Guide. -
Page 14: First Use
Calibrating the Simulator Before First Use The simulator works by lifting you with three actuators, in order to give you the best experience and distribute the load it is important you balance the simulator.

Page 16: Monitor Stand
1. Motion Display – The display goes from 0 – 9 and updates the force of the actuators LIVE. If the display shows 0 it means no motion, 9 is max force based on the settings you have made in the software. 2. - Page 17 Customized Mounted Computer The optional Zotac Zbox is a small fully VR supported PC that fits on the simulator. It is attached at the back, on top of the rotation module and should be secured with the included sticky-pads. Cable management from the computer is dependent on accessories and other factors but Velcro strips and zip ties can be used for convenience.
