Im not gonna lie best chair made like this. Was able to handle the dd+ set to around 12nm and the most impressive part is how pressing the brake when in play doesnt move as much as expected. You can also add straps to the back and going to the front which makes it even more stable.
Hi Sean, thanks for the reviews. I've watched your videos of F-GT, GT Racer and GT Lite Pro. All of them answered my questions and gave helpful information. After watching this video, I may go for GT Lite Pro because you just remind me how many gears and how much money I need to pay for an entry level casual racer. BTW, the shopping cart idea is brilliant! It makes me a good day.🤣
I think they could easily make removable bars to use instead of the straps so it becomes very sturdy. They could have the straps as an option or could remove them and use a tube bar for something even sturdier. Even if you had to remove the bars when folding away I would accept that and store the bars against the rig separately.
that's exactly what i did. You can use a metal bar and fix it to the right side of the wheel bar, and use one of the adjustment holes in the right front leg to lock it with a pin. It's 1 more locking mechanism, but it's right next to the original one so doesn't feel like a hassle, removes all of the play, and doesn't look dumb as shit with straps xD
I found on my GT Lite I had re-tighten the tilt clamp for the wheel plate each time I used it for the first 2-3 times, after this its been sweet and not wobbled since like it did in this video. After seeing a couple of reviews on the Pro it looks like ill be upgrading to this, the seat on the GT lite kills me after an hour of use.
Loved the intro... do I dare watch this video. I pretty much refuse to race without a proper rig. I own all the racing games but have next to no space for a rig. I used to have an Rseat but those days are long gone. What to do...
That seems like a version that finally is solid and not ass bad as the old GT Lite. Guess this time you get at least what you are paying for, but in the end the Wheel Stand 2.0 seems like a better choice for the same kind of money and has a upgrade path into a full rig + a smaller foot print when folded.
@@djsuupaa Yeah, even if you have only a half way decent office chair, the Wheel Stand 2.0 looks better to me. It's sturdy, can be upgraded into a full cockpit. There are even Extension that allow it to become full a race and flight cockpit, the design is clever and it is sturdy enough for DD wheels too, especially more sturdy than this new GT Lite Pro. And it folds as well, with an even smaller foot print. Materials seem to be better too. Both the Wheel Stand 2.0 and the Flight Stand Pro look like really, really well designed when compared to the GT Lite Pro and Flight Simulator Lite. Which is understandable as a good seat and mounting for it is not cheap, even the GTSeat Add-on for next level racing stands is 599€. while just the seats start with them at 350€. But imho the next level stands seem more practical, extendable and cost effective when compared to the lite cockpits that Next Level Racing is offering.
This is perfect for my moza r9 it seems, but can it fit clubsportv3 pedals? I know it can fit the v2 but not sure how much different the v3 mounting is. And it’s either this cockpit or just putting it on my desk and using wheel stoppers on my chair
Never reviewed the wheel stand pro? I am curious to see how it holds up today with these new DD wheels. It cetainly can handle my ts-xw with little wobble.
Any chance you can give me a hint on how to hard mount T3PA GT pedal set on the GT Lite Pro....the only 2 screw under the pedal make the whole set unstable while hard braking....
I have the csl loadcell pedal on my gt lite pro and mine are not stable when i am hard in the breaks, need some plate insteed of those 2 small plates, is weak for loadcell pedals!!!
Very important question. Maybe you can help me. I have this "cockpit" but I'am strugling with my TV screen. Right now I have wall mounted arm with 40" TV and I need to push it to the wall each time I want to enter my seat because of this "crazy" entering mechanism. Then I need to straighten up an TV arm as close as it posible to my wheel base before I can seat. On your video we can see NLR free monitor stand. I've just ordered one. Maybe it will help, but... on the video we can see this monitor stand is somethimes 5" and somethis 25" from wheel base. How it works? Do you need to push it back, enter the cockpit and next. to pull it forward before you can seat on rig? As we know closer to screen = higher FOV. BTW. Sorry for my english...
Of course you want the monitors as close to you as you can. For me the distance changes in my videos because of how I review gear and where it is placed as I'm trying to place as much emphasis on the gear review as I can.
I find the straps to be complete non sense. My prefered solution is a pole attached to the wheel bar going into the holes on the front legs of the chair, secured with a pin going throught.
The intro is the best advertising imho

If I weren't already subscribed that intro would have got me there.
Lmao!
Hot damn....Shawn that intro was hilarious, was not expecting to see a grown ass man in his scivvies in a sim cockpit 🤣🤣
This is an excellent review!!
Dude 😂 that shopping cart diy earned you a sub hahaha
Thanks for a quick review, this just came out and I didnt think anybody would have a review of this already 😊
Classic. The intro had me. It’s multi-use.
First GT lite pro review 👌🏾

I like the new style Shaun, but i was really wanting to see you mount a more powerful wheelbase and try 100% ffb. Thank you for the video. Peace✌
The new mantra is all about having fun now!
Very helpful review!
Glad it was helpful!
hi, what are the exact measurements once closed with the steering wheel and pedals mounted?
Thank you

I don't know what's brighter Shaun Cole or the sun
Would you say a non-DD wheel (old logitech) would eliminate any play in the wheel mount?
I found on my GT Lite I had re-tighten the tilt clamp for the wheel plate each time I used it for the first 2-3 times, after this its been sweet and not wobbled since like it did in this video.

What would you rate the wobble after the retightening from 1-10? 10 being a complete solid alu rig
Very helpful review and my new Lite Pro rig arrived today. Very happy with it … 650 miles driven on day one with a Logitech G29. Immense fun!
Great video, What's your opinion about GT Lite Pro VS playseat challenge x ?
I would go for the GT Lite Pro mainly because of the seat.
Where did you get that awesome wallpaper on your ultrawide monitor? With the pitcrews!! Loved the intro 🙂

Hi, do you mean the Wheel stand 2.0?
Think if you have a good office chair, that might be better than this included seat?

How did you mount the m5 wheelbase?
This is perfect for my moza r9 it seems, but can it fit clubsportv3 pedals? I know it can fit the v2 but not sure how much different the v3 mounting is. And it’s either this cockpit or just putting it on my desk and using wheel stoppers on my chair
Is it possible to access from any side? The right side of the cockpit would be next to my wall. Thanks!

Will this be compact with Thrustmaster
T248 and Thrustmaster TSS Handbrake Sparco Mod+? it is not clear at all to me.
is there an place to put a hand brake on? thanks
I have one. Under hard braking the whole thing lifts up off the ground. That is my only complaint, but it is a big complaint.
No sorry I have the previous model. But it doesn't look like they have done anything to improve that aspect of it in the new one.
@@scrubsscrubs694 I think the two straps that connect the wheel deck with the pedal plate have that purpose. I also have the old one and is a pitty
The straps do help with that, but this isn't a rig that is made for people that like very hard braking with the hardest settings
The seat looks atleast better i got rid of the gtlite cuz it was the most uncomfortable chair ive ever sat in
The new seat is more comfortable than the original.
@@TheSimpit thats good for people wanting to buy it now ive got a simlab gt1 evo with bucket seat and i love it

For grown men who have a wife being able to put your toys away when you're done playing with them is a plus.
for sure. happy wife, happy life, lol

I'M BLIND I'M BLIND
All i was thinking was please put your ahirt back on i am going blind
Lol, it's hard being a pasty white guy in Cali
The band and wobble is very bad... its not stable.
Stop the cap
