The QRPro Base Mount 40 has a 125mm square baseplate and is designed to accomodate most side and centrally mounted controllers.
NOTE: If you have a DOF Reality rig then please have a look at our QRPro Quick Release Base Mount DOFR for a no-drill variant.
Please note: Our QRPro Base Mount kits do not support FFB devices
New QRPro 40-Series Compatability
The QRPro Base Mount 40 is a new edition and replaces the original version of the trusty QRPro Base Mount. The QRPro system remains entirely compatable as there is no change to the Quick Release system itself.
The main change is to the mounting holes for the base itself to give many more mounting choices, including on to 40-Series Aluminium Extrusions. We have retainined the 60.1mm centre holes, the same mounting points for the most common flight sim controllers such as the Warthog Joystick from Thrusmaster so they can fix easily to some if not most flight themed rigs already out there. A template is provided below for those who are more DIY minded and may have solid mounting plates that require drilling.
If you have a 40-Series Profile Aluminium Extrusion based rig, you will need to choose optional 40-Series Profile fixing kit to help you fit the base mount to your rig directly to the extrusion itself, without the need for a metal mounting plate underneath. This kit comes with fixings and 'Drop-in' T-nuts so there is no need to remove any end caps you may have fitted.
Whatever you are mounting to, we recommend no less than 66% coverage of the total surface area of the Base Mount. For the QRPro this would be approx 82mm wide by 82mm deep minimum or preferrably as big or bigger than the Base Mount itself. In terms of 40 series profile, this would be 4080 minimum, but 40120 recommended.
If however, this is not possible and only a 40mm edge is available to mount to, then we have a solution:
The
QRPro Base Support Bracket 40 , also available separately, can be used to provide support underneath the QRPro Base Mount. You can choose to purchase the QRPro Base Support Bracket 40 + Fixing kit along with your QRPro Base Mount 40 from the Fixing Kit options.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The
QRPro Base Support Bracket 40 is not intended or supported to be used in conjuction with FFB devices or Direct Drive Wheel Bases, they may add too much stress to the plate.
The Lever comes in Red as default, but you can choose from 9 different colours when adding to your cart at no extra cost if you want a different accent theme on your rig!
