@Boosted Media You had mentioned in your review an option of mounting aluminum profile lengths for greater rigidity and unlimited left to right placement due to the slots, but I am curious what length you would want to cut these to and how to best mount? Would you want the profile piece mounted on top of the existing rails using elbow brackets front and rear or try and cut to exact length so it falls nicely between the two existing pedal rails. Thanks for any help, new to aluminum profile building.
@@Ripsnorta I have triple 32s on a free standing profile style stand. I’m about to go motion though so not sure what I’ll do depending on how that goes.
Good to hear about the clean extrusions. It boggles my mind how companies let them go out the door with shavings everywhere. It takes 5 minutes to wash them off. I used to work in a machine shop and those chips get EVERYWHERE. And it really would suck for people on carpet. Thankfully I’m on concrete, but I did the cleaning myself when I’ve received profiles in the past anyway. The only place I have gotten clean extrusions from is an industrial supply place that carries some aluminum profiles and hardware.
This is the first rig I ever build as I was confined to a wheelstand for more than a decade, did it in a couple of hours, instructions are fool proof and everything fitted nicely together. Also having all the screws labeled helps a ton. Perfect first time rig and very happy with the purchase!
Took me about 6 hours with the motion platform from start to finish.. but very happy with the result!! Such a sturdy rig.. no flex with my 8nm csl dd. Also thanks Boosted Media for the discount code!
I used your code to purchase this rig, along with extras, but saved me a couple hundred bucks! Great review! You guys are absolute best reviewers when it comes to this stuff.👍
The QR codes are a brilliant feature made such a big difference when I built mine. Only issue I had was mounting the ERS1 seat but some deep breathing and got it done. Very happy with it. Now to save for that DD wheel. Goes through Boosted Media reviews videos.
Great review again Will. I switched to a trackball mouse to make navigation easier. No need to have a big mouse pad, just a small plate mounted On my monitor stand.
The angled profile is an immediate no-buy signal for me. As is the angled profile for the integrated monitor stand. I know this is something NLR consider their signature style but it gives away rigidity. I worked with a buddy on his NLR rig to stiffen it; it cost over £100 in extra brackets and £130 in custom profile pieces to make it as rigid as my own rig. I won't mention where I bought mine in case anyone thinks I am writing an advert. Overall, I would never by NLR. Even their most expensive rig is still a wobble-fest.
My rig does just about everything this one does, but since it is made with a lot less steel (it's from around 2005, you could call it a 'classic' rig) it flexes quite a bit more than this one. Now that Will suggested that you might call that 'authentic', from now on I'll call it a feature. Classic cars flex more than modern ones too. ;-) But on a more serious note, if I were to upgrade to a different rig, flex would be one of the things I would look at, and this one may have a bit too much of it. Still a great rig though, but it is always nice to have alternatives in the same price range.
I really should of listened to my first thought and went with Next level, that way i would of got everything i paid for from Track Racer the first time around, I also would of got exeptional customer service not like tr they could not even admit fault nor would they offer a fix to my dicsadisfaction
quick feedback on their logistics: good unless you pre-order something to be soon released, the demand for sim racin hardware is still much higher than supply, at least for such new products, so expect to wait a couple of months more than promised to receive the goods, as they have to be first send to your local distributor/seller. All is good once the stock is actually avaiable, but not gonna lie, NLR wheel stand 2.0 initially only gave me grief, and eneded up being the very last piece of gear to be delivered which was unfortunate as I could not start the assembly without it. Pretty common with logistics in those times, but keep that in mind if you are planning your big hollidays around receiving those products like I did.
Thanks for the review! I eventually decided on F-GT Elite. Since it’s probably the last rig I buy for the foreseeable future, I want no compromises this time, so GT Elite using profiles with much thinner internal structure really puts me off. I wish NLR could make the GT Elite a non-compromising downgrade to F-GT Elite, I know it sounds contradicting, but what I meant is essentially F-GT Elite with a non-switchable seating position, which is what NLR wants people to believe, but as this review tells, it's not, the price gap is no joke. I'm currently using Wheel Stand 2.0 & GT seat add-on, it's $150 cheaper than GTTrack, and that absolutely showed during the time I've been using this combo. It doesn't have the caster wheels ($50), the seat belts ($?, not that I really need), and most importantly the pedal tray has a different and a structurally much weaker pedal tray. Honestly, I decided to upgrade solely thanks to the frustrating pedal tray! This experience makes me especially skeptical about GT Elite's upgrade path, I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
Can you confirm the profile is different between the gt and f-gt versions and it’s not just a blanket change in profile for all NLR rigs? Will new f-gt rigs sold still have the thicker profile? Seems weird for NLR to have 2 different profiles for nearly identical rigs…
While I do enjoy my TR120. They made the assembly very challenging, not to mention I got a ton of incompatible t-nuts, and had to buy my own parts as well, not to mention the lack of measuring items especially on the monitor mounts. Part of me wishes I went to Next Level as that was my second choice.
If you have the new buttkicker pro, it won't go were where the buttkicker mounting post is. It's too big and you won't get the seat to slide back as the BK hits the inside of the frame. I moved my mount to the back frame of the fgt elite and had it pointing up. It works great
took me about 12 hours to assemble and configure start to finish. about 3 hours on the first day (about 50% done) and then 7 hours the next to install the seats and the wheels and micro adjusting them to the way I like. My ESR1 came semi-damaged: the Rails did not move smoothly and to mount them to the right was not the most thought out when designing this rig.
Will (or readers!), a quick, dumb question. I noted that NLR's specs state the width of the rig is EITHER 70cm or 84cm. I gather the shifter mount is the reason, being an option fitment. I need to move my rig through a doorway (80cm, I t hink!), and am wondering if the shifter plate could be mounted on the inside of the rig, even on the vertical beams to which the wheel plate is mounted, but obviously lower than the wheel. I have a G Pro, and have used paddle shifters to this point, seeing as I don't have the option for a good shifter yet, and the handbrake COULD be mapped to one of the analog paddles of my wheel (not a bad option now that I think of it). EDIT: I was thinking that WIll's (valid) criticism of the shifter mount not matching the frame profile if mounted to the (outside) left position may be overcome if it is mounted on the inside. Obviously, space is the consideration, but if viable, this option may feel more natural for drivers of RHD vehicles (like here in Oz - I'm in Melbourne, BTW). :-) Advice will be appreciated.
Great video Will as always. Keep up the great work ❤️ Just a side note: I would have loved it if you had the NLR ERS1 reclinable seat to compare the two
@@boostedmediaI'm taking delivery of my GT Elite next week 😊 I think the reason NLR weren't keen us because most reclining seats - including theirs - have a degree of flex at the point they adjust. The ES1 has zero flex, as you pointed out
Hi Will, do you know if I can mount a Sparco GP seat on this rig without too much complication or going with the ES1 is the best choice? Thanks for your comments
Hey Will, great review as always! I have a question: Could you guys take a look at the Motedis DD-Dream and S-Dream rigs please? I own a DD-Dream myself and I‘d love to see your take on it. It‘s by no means the best rig out there nor the best designed one, but I heard that they supply Sim-Lab with their profiles, which gave me some confidence about their rigidity. The main selling point for me was that it was 417€ including shipping (I know it‘s more now due to increased aluminium costs) and at the time it was cheaper and IMO more solid than the competing GT1-EVO from Sim-Lab. Cheers BM crew!
I’m not in the market for a cockpit, aluminium profile doesn’t suit my current need. But I don’t understand offering a different aluminium profile and fragmenting parts compatibility within the product range, leading to the T-Nut compatibility issue. I’d rather spend the extra $250 on the F-GT.
Hello, Superb video as usual. I love your in-depth analyzes of the world of simracing. I would like to know what is the height of the seat from the ground on this cockpit?? Please give me the measurement from the floor to the cockpit seat. Thanks in advance.
@boostedmedia and anyone else..... I know that NLR recommend only up to a 43" Monitor on the Elite Integrated Monitor Stand..... but just wondering, in reality, COULD you use a 55" TV on them? Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Hey will great video mate i have the fgt elite cockpit and really love it best upgrade ive done moving from a crappy playseat rig just wondering though i drive with the csl dd base and play f1 on a 42 inch lg c2 tv so would that direct monitor mount you have be able to hold that ? Or would it look too big if not as a alternative looking at the next level elite stand thats 316 pounds here in the uk so am not sure which one would be better as it has wider legs at the bottom to slide past the rig so from your view which one would be suitable ?
i bought the tr120 just after you reviewed it, previously had the gtomega prime but sold that when i gave up sim racing for a bit, getting back into it yeh i purchased the tr120 and its been really good but i know what you mean when talking about metal shavings, that shit was everywhere and its really quite nasty stuff so simple things like not having to deal with that when unboxing do go a long way, i also had a bitch of a time with the seat slider for one reason or another, besides that yeh its solid, simucube 2 pro using the front mount trak racer offers and it looks really nice with the red accents. i can see where the next level racing stuff come across more premium, they seem to get the little details right, user experience looks a bit nicer but that flex is just something i would hate, once i know its there id be pulling it to and throw all the time in frustration and probably going around all the bolts once a week checking for tightness, i just wouldn't like that at all.
Hey Will, Adam here, I just opened my new gt elite and have it halfway put together. Finishing up while your videos playing in the background. This is my first chassis but is it normal to have 1000s of tiny strands of metal hairlike from 10 to 1 mm long? it’s covered I know they’ve been pushing most rigs out lately because most companies have been out of stock do you think it’s worth writing to them about the paint being chipped in big places and the dried running drops of paint or am I being a bitch about it I know nothing travels perfectly but it’s noticeably rushed through. I can send pics if interested. But wondering what you would do as a consumer besides buy a better quality one lol.
Just wondering why NLR use an angled upright for their wheel decks. If you change the height of the wheel deck, it also changes the position front to rear of the wheel itself. Seems strange that they would not have them vertical like others. Does it make much difference? Great review as always.
@@boostedmedia I guess that makes sense, but as well as creating problems with height adjustment, wouldn't it also cause more problems with flex, being on an angle like that, rather that being straight up and down?
Does that side mount that you have on the podium fit the new dd+ if so where can I find it it’s not on the site it only shows the front mount for simcube
For what it’s worth, I have this rig and no matter how hard I’ve tried, I can’t get it to flex anywhere near the way Will does here. Heck, I pull myself up out of my seat using the uprights (tight exit due to triples), and the thing doesn’t budge in the slightest.
The latter. The hardware is fine but the contact became very aggressive and made threats when we gave our honest opinions. Issues are with one employee. Not the company as a whole.
@@boostedmedia that's very unfortunate to hear. The reason I watch your reveiws is because u reveiw it as the end consumer would get it not hiding the downsides for $$ . I'm with you on this one no point reviewing if u can't say what you want too.
@@boostedmedia so looking forward to that. Hope you all try it in VR too, as that’s along the immersion continuum too. I know VR doesn’t make for good racing action videos but for reviews that involve motion, transducers, wind sim, and the ergonomics of wheels I really appreciate when you all have a few comments about that. Also hoping maybe an ERS1 seat arrives in time for that motion plus review ;). You guys are great, your review videos are awesome. The racing videos are super fun to watch too. Keep it up!
I never buy products from them again, you can save yourself 200-300€ (Noname Alu Companies) just on the rig base and have way less flex, you pay so much money just for their brand & marketing.
Next Level Racing Products are way overpriced!! This rig (GT-Elite) is being sold for €700 while you can have the SimLab GT1 EVO with a similar Design only for 400€
I was trying to get some reviews of both, there's nothing out there dispite them being the only switchable options. I was going to get the FGt but stumbled across the GT1 for a lot less money. It seems like you pay for the attention to detail NLR for things like the line up markings and quick release bolts etc... Although I've never seen both in reality.
the rig flexes like hell because of their desire to cut costs, so it seems they use cheaper cheesy lightweight alu profile, and not normal thick walled. and still overpriced. attempts to justify it by saying it is subjective and you might not feel it at all - is unfair
This rig is $600, he compared it to the $920 TR120 and $1,000 FGTElite, which are better, but way more expensive. To say this is overpriced is insane imo considering it comes with seat sliders, Brackets, Shifter and Handbrake mount, and Angled uprights as well as measurement markings to help with adjusting. Would like to know what you went with compared to this.

you can hide those gray holes a bit with a marker.
My big tip with this is: if you're on carpet, omit the feet on the bottom rails. It decreases wobble and helps with the rigidity.
Absolutely love my GT-Elite & ESR1 combo, super impressed with build process and final result.
Thinking of getting the same. Do you have the monitor mounted or free standing?Trying to decide not sure if the screen will shake.

Just getting started. Which seat and seat position have you found to be the most comfortable? This question is open to anyone.
Haha, yeup those brackets for shifter going on left side of FGT frame bug the hell out of me.
It looks like if you turn it upside down and turn it 180 deg i think the angle lines up? Bit silly having it on the right hand side in Australia

Next Level Racing Products are way overpriced!! This rig (GT-Elite) is being sold for €700 while you can have the SimLab GT1 EVO with a similar Design only for 400€
I was trying to get some reviews of both, there's nothing out there dispite them being the only switchable options.
I was going to get the FGt but stumbled across the GT1 for a lot less money.
It seems like you pay for the attention to detail NLR for things like the line up markings and quick release bolts etc... Although I've never seen both in reality.
lets gooo
700 bucks and that much movement? No chance. Sim labs it is

the rig flexes like hell because of their desire to cut costs, so it seems they use cheaper cheesy lightweight alu profile, and not normal thick walled. and still overpriced.
attempts to justify it by saying it is subjective and you might not feel it at all - is unfair
This rig is $600, he compared it to the $920 TR120 and $1,000 FGTElite, which are better, but way more expensive. To say this is overpriced is insane imo considering it comes with seat sliders, Brackets, Shifter and Handbrake mount, and Angled uprights as well as measurement markings to help with adjusting. Would like to know what you went with compared to this.

The worst customer service in the industry. I would have bought elsewhere had I known!!
A quick summary video of all the main features and review comments would be nice. I don't have time to watch a 40 minute video
There’s a written article which will take less than 5 mins to read linked in the video description.

Can you attach triple monitors to this ?
