I've been running the Wheel Stand Lite for about four years now, and it is a great wheel stand for the limited space I have. BUT my biggest gripe with it has always been the center post being right in front of the pedals. I'm glad that the new version has remedied this issue. I will most definitely be picking this up in the near future 🤙
I have the wheel stand 2.0 and this just seems better in every way. Sure my current stand can install much stronger wheel but for my needs 5nm is perfect. I do want this
Nice review, very honest and real. Ordered mine and will be here in a few days. Looking forward to getting off the desk. And I agree compared to every other standalone stand this one looks legit.
@@halloffamer332sammy6 Its quite stable when you tighten down the two allen bolts that the main brace swivels on. Overall quality is really good. Finish is really nice and pedals go on well. Its definitely well built and worked well with the pedals and wheel. However, I did end up returning the unit. Not so much because of the quality, but for 2 main issues: 1. The unit is quite heavy with all the gear on so its really hard to fold up and move out of the way when done. I wanted to hide it in the corner, but that really wasn't possible. It should have some wheels on the back that you can swivel the unit and roll it away. 2. Not as much of the unit's fault, but I found out my TV doesn't have game mode and the slight lag it induced really messed with the way the wheel worked/felt. Since I ended up moving the entire setup into my computer room it worked easier to just use the wheel right on my desk and not bother with a stand. One last thing to note, the lowest height for the main wheel bar isn't really that low, so if you want to upgrade to a rig with it in the future you might still need the seat to have a bit of height to it.
Problem with standard NL 2 is it's too high. Unless you're sat on a tall, high back office chair, you cannot use the shifter arm/bracket. I had to lower the base so much... there's simply no room for the arm. So I bought a 70 buck bracket, attached it directly to the top plate, and then attached the small drilled bracket for the shifter, directly to that.
Is it possible to remove the Wheel Base plate and the poles holding it? I prefer the chair cradle and the pedal section and use my own moza table mount to mount on my table for better stability.
Thanks for sharing, Shaun! We always love to hear your feedback!
you need to upgrade the wiring in the haptic seat pad ive bought two and both lost 2 transducers £400 down the drain

Seems really wobbly up top when you steer

man, this would be perfect for someone gettin into it or someone short on space. perfect for the 5-8nm base
Exactly! Plus, there will be an opportunity to turn it into a full cockpit in the near future!
@@NextLevelRacingyou guys need to make wheel stands out of aluminum profile instead!

how is it, is it stable?

I got zero room for a sig rig. So this perfect for me
Awesome review dude
Good job Shaun , as usual

They should just sell the chair craddle-pedal plate section separately.
Thanks bro 👍

I have a profile wheel stand from sim labs. I modded the fuck out of it.
