Description

All DOF Reality products incur US import tariffs which customers must pay directly to US Customs. Expected tariffs range from 10-20% of the sale price, though rates fluctuate and cannot be guaranteed due to changing tariff policies. We apologize for this uncertainty which is beyond our control.

A full-cockpit motion racing rig with 3 degrees of freedom - pitch, roll, and yaw with rear traction loss - the H3 HERO moves your entire setup (seat, wheel, pedals, and monitor together) to replicate the physical forces of a real car. It is the most popular platform in the HERO range and a natural step up from the 2-axis H2.

Engineered from commercial-grade steel profiles and in production since 2014, the H3 supports pilots up to 330 lbs (150 kg) with a motion speed of 50 cm/s (86 deg/s), 25 Nm of torque, a 20-degree range of motion per axis, and a peak power draw of 750 watts.

The rear traction loss axis - the third degree of freedom - simulates understeer, oversteer, and drifting as distinct, separately modeled sensations rather than a single generic movement. Roll and pitch reproduce lateral and longitudinal g-forces through muscle pressure points across the body.

The rig ships with a SimRacingStudio license, which reads real-time car telemetry to drive road bumps, texture, gear changes, vibrations, and collision effects. All cables and motion software are included.

Compatible across all major platforms and dozens of racing and flight games.

H3 Hero ships from Poland. Delivery to the US takes approximately 3-4 weeks. The platform is fully assembled and tested, then disassembled for transport. The platform ships in two boxes with all reassembly tools and hardware included.

Shipping Policy

At SimulatorsHQ, we deliver an exceptional simulator experience while keeping costs as low as possible. Our DOF Reality products are shipped directly from Europe which means costs and delivery times can be higher than for other products.

Tariffs & Import Duties

  • Any tariffs, customs duties or import taxes imposed by your US Customs are the customer's responsibility.
  • These charges are not included in our product or shipping prices and may be collected by your local customs authority or shipping carrier on delivery.
  • You are responsible for customs clearance, import duties, taxes and any related formalities in your country, at your own risk and expense.

Carriers & Packaging

  • We ship with premium carriers - FedEx and DHL - and insure all packages to minimise shipping risk.
  • Your platform ships in two large, heavy-duty boxes for safe transit, which is reflected in the shipping fee.
  • Products from our partners - including SRS, Sparco and Puma — are shipped separately so every item arrives promptly and in perfect condition.

Processing & Delivery Times

  • Once your payment is processed, we begin preparing your order immediately. Within 5–10 days your platform is ready to ship and you'll receive a notification email with tracking.
  • Shipping typically takes around 3–4 weeks from order to delivery at your door.

Shipping Costs & Estimates

  • Shipping costs are added at checkout and vary based on the size and weight of the product.
  • The table below shows a shipping cost estimate for each simulator model. You can see the final amount at checkout.

Delivery Inspection

  • Please examine all products and spare parts on delivery. If you find any error or shortage, contact us in writing without delay — if you don't, the right to claim may be void.

Delays

  • If we expect a delay, we'll let you know promptly, with the cause and a new expected delivery date.
  • If we don't deliver within 30 days of the original delivery date, you may cancel the order in writing for a full refund, including any upfront payments.

Returns & Warranty

Your DOF Reality platform is covered by a full one-year warranty from the moment it leaves our factory. For extra assurance, an optional +1-year extended warranty is available for even longer support.

Warranty Coverage

  • We warrant that all products and spare parts are free from faults in design, material and performance for 12 months from the delivery date.
  • Parts repaired or replaced within that period carry a 6-month warranty from the date of repair or replacement.

What the Warranty Does Not Cover

  • Wearing parts such as wheels and motors.
  • Normal wear and tear.
  • Damage from storage, installation, use or maintenance that goes against our recommendations.
  • Repairs or changes made by anyone other than us.
  • Conditions outside our control.

Normal Operating Characteristics

  • Some play in the gearboxes and arm joints is unavoidable and normal — up to 10% of the motion range.
  • Motors can run warm after extended use but should not exceed 70°C.
  • If your order includes dampers, do not set them above 8, as this shortens motor lifespan.

How to Make a Warranty Claim

  • If you discover a fault within the warranty period, contact us in writing without undue delay — late claims may be void.
  • Provide all relevant information about the fault and answer any follow-up questions.
  • We'll examine the case within a reasonable time and confirm whether it's covered. If asked, you must return the defective parts at your own expense and risk.
  • If the fault is covered, we'll put it right by repairing or replacing the part, sending you replacement parts to fit, helping remotely, or — for Professional models — sending a technician.
  • If we can't rectify a covered fault (for reasons not caused by you), you may cancel the affected order(s) for a refund.

Commercial Use

  • Consumer models (M series and H series) are not intended for commercial use. The warranty does not apply if the product is used commercially.

Software

  • The software provided is third-party. We can't be held accountable for software issues, and software support is not included with your purchase unless stated otherwise.

Warranty Replacement Parts — Shipping

  • Replacement parts supplied under warranty are shipped from our factory or authorised production facility in Europe.
  • Delivery of warranty parts may take up to six weeks from the date the replacement is approved and prepared for dispatch, due to logistics, customs, carrier availability and possible route disruptions. We are not liable for delays outside our reasonable control.
  • You may arrange your own courier at your discretion and expense. If you do, you're responsible for all transport costs, insurance, customs duties, taxes, brokerage fees, import charges and associated risks.
  • Shipping a replacement part under warranty does not extend or restart the original warranty period.

Extended Warranty & Service

  • An optional extended warranty is available as an add-on, with terms tailored to your needs.
  • Optional extended hardware and software service is also available as an add-on.
  • Contact us for details on either.

Refunds

  • Refunds are available only if a product is found defective and cannot be restored to proper working order after reasonable joint troubleshooting, including any repair or replacement of parts or the whole product as we determine appropriate.
  • Refunds are not granted for change of mind, buyer's remorse, or dissatisfaction unrelated to a manufacturing defect.
  • All shipping and return shipping costs are your responsibility. You must package any returned product properly to prevent transit damage.
  • If a refund is approved, we'll issue it within 20 days of receiving and inspecting the returned product, using your original payment method unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Cancellations

  • You have a 14-day right to cancel non-customized products and spare parts.
  • Customized products and services cannot be changed or cancelled after we've sent the order confirmation, unless we agree otherwise.
  • Pre-order down payments are non-refundable. Once production of your product has started, the order stands and cannot be cancelled.

For any return, cancellation or warranty question, contact us at support@simulatorshq.com.
