Mike from Ohio, USA "I just wanted to let you know that I’m very satisfied with my
Obutto cockpit. It seems almost overbuilt, very sturdy, and very comfortable. After
reading some comments about competitor’s chairs requiring welding repairs, I had
emailed to ask about large users ( weight about 315 myself), and you assured me
that the cockpit would handle my size quite well. You were absolutely correct, it’s
solid and handles my size without strain. It really makes long racing sessions almost
effortless. I really enjoy GTR2 and EVO much more not that I don’t’ have to chase my
pedals around."
Andrew from NY, USA "Just wanted to let you know that I received my cockpit a week
or so ago and it is awesome. But you knew that. No complaints at all. I do have a question
for you though. Do you have any plans to perhaps sell a monitor stand that would allow for
a triple monitor setup? I’m sure I can rig something up when the time comes, but I would
much prefer a dedicated solution. Thanks again. Terrific product."
Billy from TN, USA "Got my chassis yesterday & VERY pleased with the quality !!! I bet your
ears were burning while I was unwrapping the 15,000 miles of tape & bubble wrap But
was glad to see the packing kept it as new during shipping !!! I was surprised at how sturdy
it is & how comfortable the seating position is !!! I didn't realize the seat reclined until it got
here , very nice touch !!! I would like to get a couple of the adjustment knobs if possible for
backups , let me know how to order. Thank you again for all the help in my purchase!"
Aaron from IN , USA "I got it yesterday, set it up, and got to run one race in it. I really like it.
What people say about it is true. The seat is comfortable. I have a Subaru WRX and it
actually makes me feel like I am sitting in my car.
Want a quick review? Assembly is easy. It comes with all the components disassembled.
It did not take long to put together. It is basically just strong metal tubing and and metal plat-
forms. The keyboard platform has a soft surface. Monitor height and wheel height are
adjustable quickly with hand knob bolts. The seat has sliders so you can reposition. I'm 6'3''
and I fit fine. My girlfriend hoped in, slide the seat forward and she was fine (she's about
5'7'') The foot pedal pan angles down, and is covered with a grippy, rubbery material. My
pedals have not moved.
The seat, like my car seat, has wrap around type support. The seat also supports the lumbar
region. And, the seat reclines for short naps.
If you feel awkwardly positioned sitting at a desk with the pedals on the floor, like I did, or you
get lower back fatigue, I can recommend this to you. And, I don't think you will find anything
of such sturdy construction, and awesome seat, for any less money. So if you don't want
to pay the big bucks but want a cockpit, check out Obutto. http://www.obutto.com/home.html
.............Last night, in my second Obutto race, I raced with Dale Jr. He had the pole and I was
third so I started right behind him. I was so freakin excited I was almost shaking. I kept it
together and didn’t wreck and finished fourth. Tomorrow is my birthday and I feel like last
night’s race was my birthday present. Plus, I got to do it in my new cockpit. How cool is that?"
Nate's wife from TX, USA "Chris, you helped me get the "best wife award". Thank you.
A side effect of buying the obutto for Nate is I'm getting so much help with laundry
and dishes I don't know what to do with the extra time."
