Next Level Racing Steering Wheel Stand (NLR-S002)

The media could not be loaded.  This wheel stand is perfect for my Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals and wheelbase... don't listen to the old reviews that say it's not compatible or that you will have to mod it. The wheel stand ships with an adapter bar for the Fanatec pedals to fit on the stand floor mount, so this works with any Fanatec, Thrustmaster, etc.It's surprisingly sturdy and solid, and I really crank on the pedals and wheel when I race... I have the brake load cell tension set super high, so I have to really pump the brake and clutch. I'm not gentle with it at all and it's held up perfectly. I love how compact this is (although thinking you will fold it up and set it aside with all your 40lb+ gear and cables attached to it is a joke), so you won't be folding it up or unbolting your pedals and wheelbase to put it away and then re-bolting everything together when you want to play. However, it is pretty mobile in the sense that I used to pick it up and set in front of my monitor, and then drag it over to the corner of my room when I wasn't playing. Now I keep it in a stationary spot since I use a VR headset, so I don't have to do that anymore. I love that I can use my office chair and just slide it over to play, without having a big bulky dedicated rig, or annoying desk clamp, etc. This really is the perfect solution for what I wanted. So far it's been amazing after a hundred or so hours in-game with it.**Two important things you need to consider**1) If you are putting this on hardwood flooring or even a thin floor mat and you are pushing hard against your pedals the unit will creep forward a bit. It's just naturally going to happen the harder you push on your pedals. Just like an office chair with locked wheels will still creep backwards a bit when you're pumping the pedals. For many people without hardcore pedal setups with heavy tension, this won't be an issue. So I have rubber gym floor mats underneath that do a good job, which brings me to my second point...2) I have this pushed flush against my wall so that when I slam on the pedals, the unit doesn't move. With this being said, I added a thin piece of foam double stick taped to the edge of the metal pedal mount which sits flush against my wall (see attached video). I highly suggest doing this as otherwise you'll scuff up your wall as you push against it.I'm 6ft tall and the pedal position and wheel position is perfect with my office/gaming chair raised to full height. With Fanatec pedals, I've found there is really only one acceptable position for the pedals, which is pretty much right in the middle of the unit. I experimented quite a bit to find out if I could push them back further since I have long legs, but this was the best I could do without modding the unit myself. I have the wheel pulled out pretty far, although it could actually go higher, my chair just won't go any higher, so this works perfectly for me. If I was taller than 6 ft with my Fanatec pedals, I would need my chair to raise up higher so I could pull the wheel up (and out) more towards me. Something to consider if you're over 6ft with Fanatec pedals specifically.Also, the unit originally shipped with a crooked shifter arm mount. It was just welded that way (still really sturdy though). I contacted next level racing directly via their website after about 30 days from my purchase and they responded within a day and immediately shipped me a new shifter arm, plus the next level racing floor mat just to make it right. A+ on customer service and A+ on this product for my expensive Fanatec gear. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I don't think there are any other decent wheel stands like this that can compare and I can't see myself needing a big rig or dedicated chair at all. I really wouldn't see any benefit over what this gives me to be honest. I secure my chair via bumper plate weights (so it doesn't budge an inch), and I have this wheel stand smashed up against my wall with that foam piece. So when I heel-toe or slam on the brakes late in a corner or crank my wheel hard to quickly counter steer, nothing moves. Obviously the rumble from the force feedback makes things jiggle and vibrate around but that just adds to the realism.

***addendum at bottom***There are good and bad things about this product. It's a 4 star product if it wouldn't be for the poor quality control. I have read other reviews about the same subject, so hopefully the company can address this issue.The good first. It's heavy duty construction for sure. I attached my Thrustmaster TMX wheel, my all metal pedals, and my shifter. The Pedals attached after some fuss, but they are on there solid. There is nice adjustability on this product that will fit most people. This wheel stand will not move on carpet. The shifter went on ok, but I can't figure out how to hard mount it. That's ok, because its easier to move the stand without the shifter attached. It is a nice looking product as well. This thing will not tip over even if you drive your sim like a maniac.Now the bad. It is heavy, especially with my Thrustmaster pedals attached. With everything attached, it is extremely awkward to fold and move. It's not a horrible thing considering the alternatives, but don't get any delusions of grandeur that you can trot around in a marathon with this thing. My particular unit came with these odd looking plastic caps that were not shown in the videos that make the shifter arm more sturdy. It's nice in a way, but now i cant see a way to slide the shifter arm back out easily like in the videos. Unless I use a claw hammer, it's not coming back out. Ever.My TMX wheel was a pain to install. The clamp simply couldn't grasp the mounting plate. I had to invert the mounting plate, put the optional mount on, and rig it with rubber bands. It was a horrendous pain, but it worked and is actually pretty solid. If you want to hard mount a TMX wheel, you need to order an adapter.The worst part is, seriously, be careful with your hands. The first thing I did was cut my finger on something trying to pull it out of the bubble wrap. It was a minor nick, but still. That was band aid #1. Band aid #2 and #3 came when I went to turn the plastic wing screw trying to adjust the base plate. I got a chunk taken out of my finger from the edge on the base plate. The base plate is sheet metal, and obviously wasn't rounded like it should have been. After a bit of swearing and stopping the bleeding, I examined the base plate. It is sharp all the way around. It can cut paper with little effort. That is completely unacceptable considering you will indeed have to put your hands near it to adjust things.I will put some tape on the edges tomorrow, but I shouldn't have to. Maybe what happened to my base plate is a fluke. I hope so. I like to see gaming companies succeed, and I hate to write something bad about them. Maybe their quality control people should be put on notice.***addendum***I reported the incident directly to the company. The response was timely, and handled in a professional manner. Every email was replied to, and the company did their best to remedy the situation. I am very satisfied, and upped my rating to a 4 star.After extended use, and getting an adapter to hard mount my wheel, the wheel stand has performed well for the price. It does fold up like advertised, but is a bit awkward to move, mostly because of my heavy pedals. Every bit of weight you add to it will obviously make the process a bit more difficult. Obviously, there is really no way around this. The only thing better than this wheel stand would be a full complete setup, but those would obviously be much more difficult to move. It's a great option and well worth the money particularly if you prefer to play more games than just racing every day.A big thank you to the company for their service.

Ordered this for my Thrustmaster TMX / T150 Pro. Could not use my wheel with this stand as it will not mount even with the clamp. You have to make your own wooden block to use the wheel clamp or you have to buy this $24.95 adapter which allows you to mount the TMX Pro to the stand without clamp "RICMOTECH HARD-MOUNT ADAPTER FOR T150 AND TMX WHEELS". I tried to contact Next Level Racing to ask them what they would suggest for TMX Pro, but they don't respond back. Also one bolt stub could not screw into the top part of the right leg because the hole wasn't lined up with the steel arm. Luckily I'm not sure I need it because I have no idea what it's for. This stand is too expensive for all this hassle. GT Omega might be a better bet for less money but it always seems out of stock. Aside from all of this, the stand does seem quite solid and works well.Updated review: Next Level Racing did finally reply to my issues and helped me to resolve them. So I'm updating my review and rating to reflect that they did actually help, it just took them a while, maybe because of the covid situation i don't know.

The first thing I'd like to clear up is that I believe I received a return. The internal box was sealed haphazardly with a ton of sellotape, I guess by hand and certainly not a machine. When I opened the box it was clear that someone had attempted to assemble various parts and had given up. The protective foam wasn't doing its job. There were loose bolts and various bits and pieces half attached to the unit.I'm not aware that anything is missing but it's distracting to know that I've bought a second hand toy and paid full price.Ok, so the stuff you'll be more interested in:Positive:Seems extremely robust and Well made.Looks good.Very flexible for positioning, anyone within human size parameters should be able to work out a good fit. This of course depends on the seat/chair you intend to use.Folds away as described with wheel and pedals attached and has a pretty small footprint.Good fit for my Logitech G920 wheel and pedals.Little toolkit which does everything it needs to.Negative:With flexibility comes an extensive array of extra bits and pieces and a lack of good instructions. (Some may have been removed before I received it. No specific instructions for attaching Logitech G920 but with a bit of thought it makes sense.Pretty heavy, over 15kg without added gear. My wife is unable to move it however cross she gets with me.Rubber feet very slippery on my laminate floor. Unattached seat meant I was being detached from my wheel and pedals when braking. (I ended up buying a mat for seat and platform which has resolved the issue).Long delivery time. Original time envelope was quoted as being potentially shorter. 3 weeks but I knew about this before I ordered. This is of course not a reflection on the platform.In summary, I think this is a really good piece of kit. It comes with massive potential for adding extra components. It's tough, looks good, very flexible, works well and my wife can't chuck it out. Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded.  Es un soporte solido y estable. En mi caso le he quitado la pieza inferior para que la plataforma de los pedales esté horizontal pues me es mucho más cómodo. En vez del asiento que se acopla puesto que me parecía caro y no sabía si era cómodo, le acople una silla gaming Corsair con patas fijas y resulta un cockpit ideal.

Ich habe eine FANATEC Club Sport Wheelbase mit zugehörigen Pedalen installiert.Zusammen wiegt das Ganze bestimmt 20 kg. Der Stand ist sehr stabil ausgeführt.Die Halterungen passen an die Fanatec Geräte.Kleine Schwäche: Die Wheelbase wackelt leicht auf der Querstrebe, auf der sie befestigt ist.Hier müsste die Konstruktion etwas verbessert werden. (1 Stern Abzug)Die Pedale stehen in betriebsbereitem Zustand sehr schräg nach Oben. Hier sollte die Befestigungsplatte mehr waagerecht einzustellen sein. Auch der Abdeckungsgummi der Aluplatte auf der Seite, auf der die Fersen stehen, löst sich ständig ab. (1 Punkt Abzug Qualität)Für den Preis trotzdem eine sehr gute Wahl.

Der Ständer wurde schnell geliefert.Da er schon teilweise zusammengeschraubt war, konnte er einigermaßen schnell aufgebaut werden. Ich schreibe hier einigermaßen, da es nicht so schnell ging wie gedacht. Da führt letztlich auch zur Abwertung.Ich verwende den Stand mit einem Set von Fanatec. Das Lenkrad passt ohne Probleme. Bei den Pedalen durfte ich bohren. Ich besitzt die CSL Elite, mag sein, dass es bei den Clubsport sofort passt.Der Stand ist sehr massiv und steht auch gut. Kein wackeln. Was wichtig zu erwähnen ist, dass auf glattem Boden (Parket) der Stand nach vorne rutsch. Habe dieses Problem mit zwei Streifen einer Kunststoffmatte und doppelseitigem Klebeband unter den Querstreben gelöst.Bei der Produktqualität ist sicher auch noch etwas Luft nach oben. Hier war eine Quersterbe nicht sauber lackiert. Nach einer Email an den Support, bekam ich innerhalb einer Woche eine neue. Dieses wurde aus UK verschickt. Somit ist der Support top.Würde ich das Gestell noch einmal kaufen?Ja, trotz meiner vielleicht nicht so guten Erfahungen.

Quel plaisir de l'utiliser !J'en ai essayé plusieurs chez des amis, et j'étais souvent déçu (j'ai horreur que le support bouge en même temps que le volant). J'ai choisi celui là suite à un test vidéo d'un site américain spécialiste de la conduite. Plus cher que les autres, mais ça vaut le coup !Le montage n'est pas super intuitif, la doc pas très clair, mais une fois l'ensemble monté, génial, c'est bien lourd et solide, je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat. Et il se repli, ce qui permet de le ranger "plus" facilement !Bref, content.
