Next Level Racing NLR-S023 Wheel 2.0 Racing Stand PC

Reliable design, covered all my needs.

Ho preso questa postazione per il mio simulatore avendo necessità di qualcosa di compatto e trasportabile fra le stanze. Questo prodotto era ciò che cercavo con una qualità ottimale per il mio Fanatec. La caratteristica che mi ha fatto decidere era la possibilità di utilizzarlo con una qualsiasi sedia da ufficio, riducendo così gli ingombri di un sedile appositamente dedicato. Possedendo io una sedia di qualità ho potuto sfruttare questa per la guida. I materiali e gli accessori inclusi sono molto ben studiati, si può regolare su molte posizioni sia la pedaliera che il volante, consentendo spostamenti in avanti-indietro, su e giù ed addirittura inclinazioni differenti. Le piastre sono solide e tutta la struttura non flette durante la guida, considerando forze del motore fino a 8Nm del mio sistema (per forze superiori è comunque consigliato un cockpit più solido). Il suo punto di forza è la possibilità di essere utilizzato sia con una sedia che con un sedile dedicato (acquistando il kit dallo stesso produttore). Per adattarlo alle sedie da scrivania è presente una staffa nella quale inserire le ruote creando così un sistema solidale che non si muove con la guida. Nel mio caso avevo posizionato 4 rotelle anche sotto la postazione per spostarla comodamente. Il tutto è ripiegabile (nei limiti del volante/pedaliera installati) per occupare ancora meno spazio per eventualmente riporlo in qualche angolo. L'unica pecca che vi ho trovato è nel supporto per cambio e freno a mano, il quale non ha regolazioni se non minime e questo mi ha fatto fare il reso di questo prodotto in favore di una postazione autocostruita, perchè entrambi rimanevano troppo attaccati al volante rendendo fastidioso oltre che scomodo l'utilizzo. Rimane invece ottimo per i simulatori con solo volante e pedaliera, in quel caso lo consiglio.

Easy to assemble with either the paper or video instructions. Very sturdy frame. I mounted the Fanatec CSL DD wheel base and pedals, the frame stays solid and doesn't budge. The chair tray is a great feature. Solid investment for your sim racing, as it is extensible with a fixed racing chair if you ever wanted to. Mind that it's heavy by itself, even heavier with wheel base and pedals mounted. You can fold it, but I can recommend getting some M8x15 wheels with brakes to move it around and save your back. The frame already has the holes provided as it comes with some basic feet in the package.

I was looking for something solid to mount a direct drive wheel base to that I could get slide out of the way and fold up when I need to. All parts of the stand are actually pretty thick pieces of steel. This makes the whole setup VERY heavy (wheel stand, wheel base and rim, pedals, shifter, and, button box). This doesn’t take away from my rating - if you want a lighter wheel stand that is easier to move, you buy one that is made with more lightweight material and that will likely flex more. I use mine on carpet and have carpet sliders under the included wide rubber feet and it is easy enough to slide around. The chair cradle works well and keeps my chair and wheel stand together even with the carpet sliders under the stand. Great adjustability! I like to race and truck and I change my setup when I go between them. For trucking, I move the pedal try a little closer, and I tilt the wheel back. When I race I move the pedal tray a little farther away and tilt the wheel down. Compatibility is great. I have a Fanatec wheel base and heusinkveld sprints and everything mounted with no problems. I do not have the heusinkveld pedal base plate - the pedals are mounted directly to the wheel stand 2.0 pedal plate and I have no issues. When braking very hard, this plate DOES flex slightly, however this flex would probably be eliminated by using the heusinkveld pedal base plate mounted to the wheel stand 2.0 pedal plate. There are a couple small things I wish were different - I wish they shipped smooth plastic feet with the stand so you could slide it easier on carpet so that I didn’t have to use other carpet sliders that aren’t secured to the stand, I wish you could tilt the wheel back slightly more, and I’m not the biggest fan of the shifter mount. I’m not sure how they could improve it, but when using it, the shifter isn’t in the most natural feeling position (I have two pieces of 8020 aluminum secured together at a right angle and clamped to the mount and my shifter is mounted to the 8020, placing the shifter in a lower, more natural position - it’s less stiff but in VR you don’t notice and it works great). This design could be improved SLIGHTLY but for the price, this is a no brainer. I had previously been using a wheel mounted to my desk and the difference is night and day. I gave this 5 stars instead of 4 because of the quality, and the issues I had were so minor they either don’t really matter, or you can work around them. Great stand for a good price! Would recommend to anyone looking for a STURDY wheel stand!

Après l'utilisation d'un stand entrée de gamme, j'ai commandé le wheel stand 2.0 bien noté sur le web. Et on comprend pourquoi, rien qu'au déballage. Double carton, papier bulles sur tous les éléments, visserie au top légèrement huilée afin d'éviter toute corrosion, et des tôles ayant une belle épaisseur évitant toute fragilité et flexion. Montage simple et une fois monté le stand semble ancré dans le sol tellement aucun mouvement parasite ne vient troublé une séance de simracing. C'est du très costaud et mention spéciale au godet anti glisse qui permet de bloquer l'ensemble stand, chaise. A noter que cet accessoire permet deux réglages en longueur, un avec les pieds dans le godet et l'autre avec les pieds devant. Très intéressant quand des personnes de tailles différentes utilise le stand. Ça permet de modifier les réglages sans dévisser quoi que ce soit. Le glissement de la plaque du pédalier aide aussi à régler les distances sans prise de tête. Bref! J'ai rarement vu une telle qualité et un tel souci de satisfaire l'acheteur. Pour preuve, c'est fourni avec une palanquée de vis M6 de 15mm pour fixer tout pédalier et tout volant. Avec un fauteuil acheté une centaine d'euros et ce stand, j'ai une configuration au top à moins de 350 euros. A noter que j'utilise uniquement une position GT et non F1 plus couchée et cela même sur un F1 23.

Very rigid but also very heavy. It’s great for my 8Nm DD wheel base. Also great if you don’t have to fold it up. Wish the shifter and handbrake mount was a bit better.
