I bought this and it's awesome. Seat is okay, but good enough. Frame is solid, does move a tiny bit, but not noticable when racing. It's not heavy, so easy to move, especially when you have a fitting mat under it. One issue i had was when i was setting it up. There are tons of different sized screws with 5mm difference in size and NONE of them are labeled, so it will take extra time to figure out which screws are which when you set this up. On top of that, the holes in the curved wheel support bar where not aligned correctly. I have tried to get all 4 screws in, but no matter what i did, the last one just wouldn't go in. I've tried putting them in, in different order, I've literally laid on the floor, wresteling the tubes to bend them slightly to i could get the screw in. But just nothing worked. I settled on 3 screws on the bottom eventually, but with the 2 extra support bars it's still totally solid. So yeah, if you're thinking about buying this, you will need to employ some patience and flexibility when setting it up, but once you got it set up you'll have a lot of fun with it! For the price i would definitely recommend it.
If you look closely at 8:30 you can see that the flex is in the mounting plate, not the mounting arm. It might be mitigated by moving the accessories a little forward on the plate if that's possible.
After waiting two weeks for mine, Already having My Fanatech wheel come in, There was two bolts in the seat that were cross threaded that I could not get out. May everyone else who orders this have better luck then me. Returning and getting something else.
Cross threaded? Dang, that's a bummer. There were a couple that required quite a bit of force for me to get loose but I was able to assemble it fine after that. Hope the next one works better for you!
this is nice but after a few months everything has to be retighten and after a few months the welds start to break from fricktion and force from play the shifter arm was the first thing to go for me
@@sjguy1962 no worries! Another useful tip is to go to a junkyard and buy a passenger seat. The passenger seat is usually in perfect condition and no one wants them because only the drivers seat wears out and needs replacing. I got a Porsche seat for $40
Sadly this is still out of stock on NLR's site. I'm hoping it comes back in stock soon, still considering either this or the GT Lite Pro for my apartment.
Nice review and nice cockpit for the money! I have question about Playseat. I see a lot people who have lower back pain problems with Playseat trophy when play because of position . Do you have problems with Playseat ?
I was looking at this cockpit but I ended up buying the Playseat Trophy in black because of the lightness and easier mobility. It should come in a couple of days, hopefully along with my Fanatec DD Pro 8NM. This will be my first racing rig setup. I look forward to giving this a go.
Most rigs shipping alone is more than this whole rig, I have this rig and it works perfectly, and if your flexing the frame you need to change your braking style, slamming the pedal is not fast!
I'm looking for this cockpit for Moza R12 and my first set of sim race gear and I'm pretty surprised this thing can play on 16nm and it's still fine. 😮
How so?? Id love to get a good deal on it even if its just 30 dollars lol. (Edit: Nevermind just on dell website, I appreciate you for letting us know!)
Looks more like a roadcar seat than a racecar seat. Even a gt3 seating position is more agressive. This or the f gt? (not the beach chair one, the og f gt)
Congratulations! Very nice video. I have the opportunity to purchase the Logitech Playseat for just $495. And next week I get the Logitech G pro steering wheel and pedals delivered. From the point of view of comfort and driving sensations, which seat do you recommend? Is the Playseat worth it at $495 for the Logitech steering wheel? Thank you!
Thank you! That’s a great price - The Playseat Trophy and Logitech were made for each other and I think that it is more comfortable than the GTRacer. There have been times with friends though that I really wish the Trophy was easier to adjust.
Maybe you dont have the force turned all the way up on your wheelbase but i know from experience that my 23nm alhpa U would tear this thing apart in minutes. This rig wouldnt last me a month even being really careful with it and turning my wheelbase way down to like 10nm. For this price, at least in canada, i can buy an aluminum profile rig and a junkyard seat that would completely embarass this junk. Just look at the flex in that seat back and base. Just mounting my sequential shifter and handbrake on this would brake the welds in one race worth of usage.
That makes sense because this rig only supports 13nm. You would want something stronger for 23nm. But for people using 8nm or 5nm this will suffice. Not everyone wants to go to junkyard to scavenge parts. There's a reason this is always out of stock, 350 bucks gets a reasonably solid rig with an adjustable seat. Good value.
@tortuga7160 I'm just saying that if you're resourceful and put a little work in, then you can get a lot more for your money. This rig is for people that can't be bothered to, and/or aren't capable of, building something themselves. Which tbh is the vast majority of people. I just wanted to let people know that there are better and cheaper options, if they are willing/able.
if you look at the wheel mounting map, there is a Logitech G293, is that meant to be a Logitech G923? because I dont think Logitech G293 exists. @9to5Toys ?

What about the frame under seat, is it solid..? Or not

i thought “wow this is super nice. I’ll buy it!” and then i go to the website and it’s out of stock 😅
just got one today off their site! They restock pretty quick
finding this in the Canadian marketplace is hard and about $549 CDN but I will definitely keep a lookout for it. Great video BTW good detailing.
Buy an aluminum profile rig from 6sigma or advanced sim racing if you are in Canada. Much better value
@@alecmillea4539 thanks for the tip I'll look that up.👍

Can you mount a Samsung g9 on that free stand? 8:28
Sadly this is still out of stock on NLR's site. I'm hoping it comes back in stock soon, still considering either this or the GT Lite Pro for my apartment.
I'm torn between this and the GT Omega Titian. Out of stock aswell. I want it now lol.
@@leftwich7 My guess is it is due to the high demand during holiday sales. It make take a month or two for things to be back in stock.
@roguesquadron521 you were right. It's back in stock now. Plan to order my rig this weekend. If it's still available lol.
@@leftwich7 Awesome! Unfortunately Ill have to go with the GT Lite Pro because I dont have room for this in my apartment. Oh well!
Nice review and nice cockpit for the money! I have question about Playseat. I see a lot people who have lower back pain problems with Playseat trophy when play because of position . Do you have problems with Playseat ?
Is it compatible with the trustmaster t300 wheel? Because in the manual it is not listed.
From what I've read, yes it is. I believe you follow the mounting plan for the T500 for the T300.
Thanks for the very insightful and in-depth review!

i would buy the moza table clamp and use that to adjust my tilt.
Is is compatible with simagic P1000 pedals and alpha mini?!
whats the size of the monitor. ty
Got mine from Dell for $358 plus 12% cash back from Rakuten. Total $330 shipped. Cant beat that.
That’s a great deal!
How so?? Id love to get a good deal on it even if its just 30 dollars lol. (Edit: Nevermind just on dell website, I appreciate you for letting us know!)
Does it support belt wheels to ?
I was only today years old when I knia this setup has a name. The cockpit.
What’s the highest NM’s can this cockpit handle ? Wanting to get the DD extreme for my ps5 and pc but wasn’t sure if this will handle 15 NM of force.
Awesome review!
Can you mount a table mount wheel on this??
like a thrustmaster t300 gt

Is the flex in the seat that bad that is noticable in hard braking?
I don't notice it under heavy braking
@@9to5toysawesome i just wanna make sure it isnt gonna flex when i brake hard in ACC going into turn one at Spa
So this is what you have been using during those Forza streams? lol
this is awesome haha
Haha yessir!
Does this have height adjustment on the seat
Sadly, no
Do you think this will work well sitting in front of a 75 in tv hooked up to a PS5?
Absolutely!
You could remote into your Mac for the days when you can’t carry it.
Can anyone confirm that the racing seat is also included in the box? $399 seems somewhat inexpensive for the whole cockpit
I believe the seat is included. At least that's what it says on uk websites that sell it such as overclockers uk
the seat was NOT included for me, but I got the gt elite wheel plate edition.
@@WrenchWenchRacingthat’s a completely different cockpit. The gt racer includes the seat in the $400

Does anyone know if the Logitech G923 is compatible with this cockpit ?
Yes
I would totally get this if the steering wheel wasn’t so low
is it possible to buy this cockpit w/o the seat?
Hmmm not that I know of
Yes that would be the, Next Level Racing Wheelstand 2.0

this is the same price as my wheel and pedals and i went broke to buy them.
