At Blue Dragon Racing, Sceleton 1.0 wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was born out of frustration, from hours spent on track with a so-called “entry-level” sim rig that couldn’t handle the very basics of what sim racing demands: rigidity, stability, and immersion.

The Problem: Flexing Pedal Plates

If you’ve ever driven with a budget rig, you know this pain: you step hard on the brake—especially a load cell pedal—and instead of feeling like you’re in control of a race car, your whole rig creaks, shifts, or worse—the pedal plate flexes. It doesn’t seem like much at first, but over time, that slight movement turns into inconsistency and lost confidence on the brakes. And in sim racing, especially when milliseconds matter, that’s simply not acceptable.

We tried multiple rigs that promised “stability” or “compatibility with high-end pedals,” but the reality was different. Most of them had pedal plates mounted at weak points or held in place with poor geometry—meaning every hard brake input turned into a wobble-fest.

The Insight: Force Comes From Below

While using these cheaper rigs, we realized something important—the problem isn’t just strength, it’s direction. The braking force doesn’t push the plate down—it pulls the pedals up and toward you. And yet, most sim rigs tried to reinforce the structure beneath the plate, which does nothing when the force is literally lifting it away.

That’s when the idea for Sceleton 1.0 was born.

Our Solution: No Flex, Only Confidence

The Sceleton 1.0 is engineered with a pedal plate that locks into the rig from above, secured by vertical braces and structural points that fight against the actual direction of the force—not just where it looks strong. This means that no matter how hard you brake, the pedal plate won’t flex.

We’ve tested it with load cell and hydraulic setups—full braking force applied, repeatedly—and the result is the same: almost zero flex.

Built by Racers, For Racers

We didn’t set out to create just another sim rig. We built the frame we wanted to use—one that feels stable, race after race. One that grows with you, whether you’re just starting out or already competing at a high level. And one that doesn’t fall apart or make you question your inputs every time you go for a late brake divebomb.

That’s why we built the Sceleton 1.0—because your sim rig should support your racing, not sabotage it.
