3R Simworks rigs are built for the sport—because true immersion comes when the rig disappears. Every weld, every angle, every material choice is designed to support immersion, clarity, and control.
We are a new force in sim racing hardware—designed from the ground up for those who want to feel the race and embrace control. Our rigs blend industrial-grade fabrication with immersive design, built to evolve with your setup. Every detail is intentional and built to withstand pressure—physical, mechanical, and competitive. We fabricate for feel, not flash – though it’s a bonus that the rig happens to look sleek, modern, and ready for any room. We design for racers who demand clarity, durability, and control. This is hardware that earns its place, weld by weld.
Immersive Frame Resonance (IFR) – A Hidden Bonus
In real vehicles, feedback doesn’t happen in one spot — it moves through the entire chassis. You feel rumble strips through the seat rails, ABS through the pedals, traction loss through the body, drivetrain pulses through the floor. Your brain blends those signals into a single, connected sense of what the car is doing.
Because our rigs are built from HSS steel, that same structural behavior shows up here too.
Force feedback doesn’t stay isolated at the wheel. It travels through the frame the way it would in a real cockpit, creating a familiar, chassis‑wide response your brain instantly recognizes.
It mirrors how a real car communicates:
Hit a rumble strip → you feel it through the seat rails
ABS kicks in → the pedal deck has a distinct buzz
Wheel loses traction → the chassis gives a quick shiver
Drivetrain lash → you catch a pulse through the floor
These sensations aren’t programmed. They’re structural — the natural result of how the rig is fabricated.
We’ve chosen to call this Immersive Frame Resonance (IFR). Not a feature we initially engineered — it was a behavior the frame naturally produced. We then took care not to reduce this feedback characteristic and are taking steps to further enhance it.
It doesn’t replace dedicated haptics — it complements them. Haptics give you the targeted effects. TFR gives you the underlying structure reacting as one.
A bonus that feels unmistakably real.
DRIVEN BY FEEDBACK. DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE.
We built our rig with you in the loop.
We asked. You answered. We listened – and we adapted.
Every voice has helped shape what we’re building—rigs, accessories, systems, and the philosophy behind it all. The geometry, the mounting logic, the feel—it’s all rooted in real-world use and real-world needs.
This isn’t just our idea of what sim racing gear should be. It’s yours too. And we’re not done listening.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW & SPECIFICATIONS
The 3R‑2 is a welded steel sim racing chassis constructed from heavy‑wall Hollow Structural Section (HSS) tubing. The system is engineered to maximize rigidity, minimize structural deflection, and maintain high‑frequency tactile conduction through its Immersive Frame Resonance (IFR) architecture.
The chassis incorporates a unified welded structural arch, friction‑drilled and form‑tapped (FDFT) interfaces, and a diamond‑rotated telescoping mechanism engineered for precise, play‑free adjustment.
Nominal Chassis Weight: 32 kg (70 lbs) Footprint: 1200 mm × 560 mm (47″ x 22″) Material: CSA 44W Steel Manufacturing: CNC‑cut, welded, friction‑drilled, form‑tapped
Primary Design Goals: • High structural rigidity • High tactile bandwidth (IFR) • Rapid ergonomic adjustability

MEET THE TEAM BEHIND 3R SIMWORKS
We’re a small family team with big ideas and calloused hands. We didn’t start with a million-dollar lab. We started with a welder, a CNC, and a mission: Build the sim racing cockpit we always wanted. No investors. No shortcuts. Just late nights, shared meals, and a relentless drive to make something that feels right and performs flawlessly.
Our Team
Vincent Babin
3R Simworks Design & Fabrication lead, where structure meets performance.
Brings CWB-certified precision to every weld, shaping rigs that hold their line under pressure. With an instinct for geometry and feel, each frame is built to respond like muscle and endure like machinery. When not fabricating, he’s racing—testing every rig in real conditions and feeding that feedback straight into the next build. The result: hardware that’s intentional, race-ready, and built to evolve.
Richard Babin
3R Simworks Primary engineering tech, where sim racing meets real structure.
Decades in the garage, on the track, and behind the bars of a motocross bike have shaped a deep, instinctive understanding of how vehicles move, flex, and respond. That insight drives every decision—from frame geometry to weld prep. With a mechanic’s hands and a racer’s mindset, he builds rigs that feel right because they’re grounded in the real thing. When he’s not refining structure, he’s in the seat—testing, tuning, and chasing the same edge he’s been chasing his whole life.
Jason Babin
3R Simworks Lead Fabricator, where precision meets passion.
Brings a perfectionist’s eye and a craftsman’s touch to every weld, every finish, every frame. With CWB certification and a relentless drive for quality, he builds rigs that feel sculpted and intentional. New to racing but fully immersed, he drives the same rigs he helps shape—learning the lines, chasing the feel, and refining the build with every lap. The rig brought him to sim racing; now he’s helping define it.
Melanie Babin
3R Simworks Creative lead, where every word, line, and layout drives connection.
Handles the branding, graphics, and messaging—making sure the rig speaks clearly, looks sharp, and feels true to what it is. From marketing to writing, she’s the one behind the words and visuals that connect. Lately, she’s been getting into sim racing herself—she’s no pro, but not afraid to push the pace. The rig pulled her in, and now she’s chasing the feel, one fast lap at a time.
We’re just getting started here at 3R Simworks. The 3R rig shapes the racing experience. What comes next builds on everything we believe in—rigidity, realism, and the readiness to evolve.
THE FOUNDATION IS SET & THE EVOLUTION IS COMING.
Accessory rails
steel with flow drilled holes
aluminum extrusions
Mounting brackets for anything you can dream up
Single monitor mounts
Triple monitor mounts
PC / Console shelf
Keyboard/ Mouse tray
Tablet / HUD / Dashboard mount
3DOF and 4DOF kits
Every new 3R Simworks feature is built to bolt onto your 3R rig—cleanly, securely, and without compromise.
We design for forward compatibility, so your rig grows with you. And cross compatibility, so it plays nice with the gear you already trust.
This isn’t a product cycle. It’s a platform. And it’s ready when you are.

3R‑2 Component Series — Day 4
Tower Arch Positioning
The tower arch uses a fixed‑geometry mounting system that allows clear, repeatable fore–aft placement of the wheel column.
Fore–Aft Adjustment:
– 100 mm incremental positioning — the arch mounts through fixed hole sets on each side
– Four total positions, spaced at 100 mm
– 400 mm total adjustment range, supporting compact seating through extended‑reach layouts
This lets drivers place the wheel column exactly where it fits their posture and cockpit geometry.
Bolt‑Up Mounting:
– Four‑bolt fastening — two bolts per side secure the arch to the base
– Adjustment is simple: remove the bolts, shift to the next hole set, reinstall
– The fixed hole pattern keeps the wheel column square and aligned across all positions, maintaining predictable steering placement after each adjustment
A clean, mechanical system built for consistency and repeatability.

3R‑2 Component Series — Day 2
Wheel Arm Assembly
A rigid, precision‑controlled wheel mount built around the 3R‑2’s Precision Telescoping System and our diamond‑rotated HSS interface.
Adjustments:
– 25° arm tilt
– 30° wheel tilt
– 400 mm telescoping travel
Interface Geometry:
The wheel arm uses a 45° rotated HSS profile with self‑centering V‑block geometry.
This design delivers:
– effectively no lateral play
– no rotational slop
– extremely minimal micro‑flex under Direct Drive torque
– a rigid, repeatable lock via the M8 handle
This geometry is unique to the 3R‑2 and is a major contributor to IFR (Immersive Frame Resonance) performance.

💙 Meet the New Us — The New Blue
We started this journey with red as the original plan. Red is racing. Red is speed. Red is everywhere.
But as 3R evolved, something became clear: red just wasn't doing it for us anymore.
Red is loud, reactive, high‑heat.
3R is deliberate. Engineered. Precise.
So we made the shift — We moved to blue.
Blue is cool.
Blue is collected.
Blue is calculated.
Blue is the mindset behind everything we build.
And honestly?
We just really like the blue.
It feels right. It feels like home.
This is the new us.
This is the new blue.
This is 3R.
