Production Update and new Shipping Rates

As mentioned before we are now getting better prices from DHL and we were able to lower the shipping rates to everywhere on the planet. Especially the shipping rates outside of Europe got a lot cheaper. We are very happy about that, nobody likes to pay for shipping… The new shipping rates have been applied for about 6 weeks now, so every recent order already got them.

On the production side we made some big leaps to make the table mounts better and easier to produce. We now have watercut manufactured mounting plates for most joystick and HOTAS systems in stock and anodized. Before we made most of the mounting plates by hand but the cutting, drilling, fettling and sandblasting took most of the time building the entire mounts. Now the plates not only look better but also have more cool features.

We sadly had some delays in the last weeks but they are worked out now. We apologize to everybody who had to wait longer. It is always a hazzle to work with other companies which do not keep their promised delivery dates. We are building up our stock at the moment so thats not going to happen again.

Full production mode!

Nobody likes Grime

We are very happy about the latest addition to our shop. We partnered up with Okona and can now offer Dustshields for Warthog joysticks. Nobody wants to have dust, debris or even grime to get into the gimbal of the Warthog joystick. Also opening, cleaning and regreasing the stick base regularly is not everybodies cup of tea.

We can only recommend this very simple but clever solution to protect your Warthog stick and keep the performance as good as possible. Just slid it on and your are ready to play savely.

The plastic discs are made out of very robust biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate, better known as Mylar. Made in U.S.A.

The first Dustshield we got is already successfully protecting my Warthog stick against grime. Get’em.

VAT VAT VAT and more

As you may have noticed we made some changes to our prices in the beginning of this year. For the last two years we were excempt from charging the standard VAT on our products, a bonus that is granted to small companies in Germany. Sadly or better said luckily we have now exceeded the limit of that granted bonus with the help of all our customers.

There is a good part and a bad part to that change, so let’s start with the bad:
We now have to collect 19% VAT on all prices for customers inside the European Union which means the price on all products got a bit higher.
The good part is that this only concerns customers from the EU. Everybody else around the world pays no VAT which means that some products are now even cheaper than before.

There will also be improvements on shipping prices as we get special rates from DHL soon.

We are a bit behind on the producing front and the holidays did not help with that. As of next week we are back in heavy production mode and we will probably not get that much sleep in January.

We wish you all the very best for 2016!

Racing Seat PRO – The new Version

We updated our racing seat model to make it even better than before. We try to listen to our customers as much as possible and always test out new builds ourselves.

For the new Racing Seat PRO we focused on improving stability and leg room. The whole rig grew 11cm in width and we are now using 80x40cm profiles for the whole wheel mount. Additionally the whole wheel mount was redesigned to give more room for the knees and legs.

We also changed some other little details to increase stability, maybe you can spot them in our newest video.

Thanks for all your support and enjoy!
