Thank you for confirming my concerns too. I am about your height and the wheel is just too high. Big oversight by logitech and that is really unacceptable given the price. Thanks again for saving me money.
Damn I wonder where my shoulders would line up. I am 6’6” Planned base is TM T-GT. I dont see a problem for my legs to fit but wheel angle and things related to that… Good point on the wheel plate reverse option!
You’d fit perfectly I think. However, if you’re the typical American who wakes up eating Doritos & cheese burgers for breakfast, the stitching on this won’t last long but as long as you’re a fit person it should be fine.
Helpful review. I'm 5'11" and have been considering this seat for a while; it sounds like it would be a good fit for me. What's your plan for it? We may be able to work out a deal if you want to part with it.
@@TheColdest247 undoing the screws will allow you to reverse it. Buying used is the best way... Got mine for $275 and sold it for $390 lol.. pro tip: if you have the smaller fanatec with small footprint, you can even screw the plate upside down so that it sits lower.. Unfortunately, with my ginormous G Pro... that wasn't an option.
@@WilliamShakerTech Wow! $275 was a complete steal. Unfortunately, where I live these sale for $400+ and that's what I paid for mine. I wish I could of came across a deal like yours, but I can't complain it's a very solid cockpit. My only complaint is the adjustment you stated, and the seat can rip underneath overtime near the hip area. Many don't mention it, but it's a known issue, but I just took mine to a seamtress and had her beef the seat up underneath.
Ya I got a good deal lol.. hey man.. if you’re tall enough to be comfortable.. it’s a solid rig! I would have kept mine but I struggle with a short torso as you saw in the video lol 😂 PS: I bought my NLR for $300 on FB marketplace.. used is the way to go with rigs. People sell for all kinds of reasons and 99% of the time it’s because they got bored after a month. I went through 3 rigs from FB marketplace and got back every penny when I sold them.
Can't go wrong with either but really depends on your budget. I recommend going with F-GT and upgrading the chair to the ERS3 chair which is miles better than the one included. This is what I've done. I'll be releasing a video on it soon along with a review of the F-GT. amzn.to/3YCRTho / amzn.to/4fk22VG
I have a 7 yr old and she can reach the pedals but she's basically got her butt at the edge of the seat. You'll need to soften the brake pedal and reduce force feedback

Another great video, thanks again!

You bet! FYI... This was made by Playseat and rebadged for Logitech. (private label)
thanks for the pure opinion!

I'm also 5'5" but could you not add extra cushions to sit on?
You probably can but I'm not interested in doing that.
@@WilliamShakerTech alright fair enough
Thanks bro .. im 164cm so your review saved me lol
Glad I could help! You definitely don’t wanna buy it with 164cm... get the NLR F-GT.. it’s amazing. Kinda ugly but whatever.. (use my link)

Sold
So, what does it do for the steering wheel by turning it from the default wider side of the base to the reverse shorter side? Thanks in advance!
Moves it closer or farther away from you.
@@WilliamShakerTech Good to know. I purchased one used, and the wheel plate has the short side facing me.

Are screws included in the package to screw the pedals tight?
Yes
Im 5'4"
Would you recommend next level racing F-GT or next level racing GT track

do you think you could have a 7 year old on your lap with this chair? And could a 7 year old reach the pedals?
I have a 7 yr old and she can reach the pedals but she's basically got her butt at the edge of the seat. You'll need to soften the brake pedal and reduce force feedback
@@slash0t5 thank you!
