Which sim racing cockpit would you buy?
Do you reccomend next level racing f gt bro
@@DroittAuButt- definitely that a good option 👌
@@GeekStreet thanks bro
At least TR-80
The TR120 would be a dream but the Playseat Challenge X would be my favourite for the price
'BEST RIG'
I'm so broke
😳😭
There's some pretty awesome cardboard builds using string etc 😊
Welcome to the adult life 😅
@@Jovane2707 so true 😅
What’s your plan to be not broke?
I have a aluminium profile wheel stand from Sim Labs. Love it. Nice and compact. Cost me like £250 with the seat supporter. I don't need a full rig. And a metal chair that is strong so I can stomp on that 200 kgs load cell and the chair can take it no problems and no fatigue either.
I got the GT omega wheel stand and does the job nicely for me having limited space. I got pretty thick carpet so no problems with the seat moving and with it being so small I can easy move it in front of my desk when I want to use it then simply fold it up and put to one side when I'm not.
I have a version of the first wheel stand and it’s actually upgradeable. It has support bars for extra support with stronger
ffb settings, and I’ve also added on the mount and seat with recline and slider ! I recently went from a Logitech driving force pro from 2005 to a moza r12 and it’s been standing up great even at full ffb in assetto corsa competizione I believe everything was just under $400 usd
I have the playseat challenge for my previous logi G29, basically made for each other, absolutely great. I upgraded to a Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm and Loadcell brake, the 8Nm is absolutely the limit for the PS challenge. And I don’t use 100% brake force anyway, anymore than 50% does the seat not tolerate. But I’m happy with the rigidity, I purchased a reinforcement kit for the PS challenge which is much needed and makes it perfect for me. I’ll be happy with this setup for many years.
I am currently using a GT Omega Classic (actually have 2, as I bought a sealed one at an Amazon discount store for $20 CND). I have the older model from about 1-1/2 years ago that did not come with the office chair stopped, so I bought flat replacements for the wheels.
As a side note, not sure about the new GT Omega Classic that has the wheel stopper, but the older one does have a separate (sold separately) seat frame extension. There are also other brand of seat frame extension that fit sold on Amazon.
The main reason I got the Classic was for lack of space. The room my setup is in doubles as my girlfriend and my collectors display room and office area. So the idea of a fold up wheel stand was awesome, until I added extra shelves to it (in all I have the 2 it came with, bought a spare shelf, and added the 2 from the discount set). How (because there isn't enough room them mount them all) and why? How took a lot of planning to get them mounted together. And why, so that I could have my shifter one one, my handbrake beside and at a similar height, a mouse pad shelf and a keyboard shelf.
Wonderful and helpful video! Thanks!
i picked up a tubular frame one from a company called vivo on amazon ,was $500 CAD shifter and monitor mount included ,i have a moza R5 attached to it and loving it !
Hey Geek Street, great video and we appreciate the inclusion of ourselves into the video.
We just wanted to add that our wheel stand also has upgradability to a full cockpit if people purchase the rear seat frame. We noticed this information was possibly missed, so just wanted to add it here for you. Keep doing a great job with your content!
Great thanks for clarification, that wheel stand was purchased quite a few years ago so good to hear its evolved.
Hey, GTOmega... Didn't you guys use to sell a cockpit just like the NLR GTRacer? IIRC you called it the Pro cockpit. How did NLR end up with it?
You are correct, we had a similar design a long time ago which was our Pro Cockpit.
We felt it wasn't suited to the modern racer and it was effectively replaced by the TITAN Cockpit while our ART cockpit grew from strength to strength in the same time.
Can we also mount Fanatec gt dd pro on it?
Exactly the info I needed, thanks for posting. :)
Good to hear it helped
I would choose an 80/20 rather than a tubular as it gives you much more versatility with regards to upgrades and adjustability as well as rigidity.
Best Rig 😊. This video is a great recap of a whole bunch of others.
❤️
Best rig! Nice video! I've got a playseat trophy and I love it!
❤️
Awesome video!. I can advocate for the Playseat Trophy Logitech G edition. Perfect for small spaces and no noticeable flex with my Logitech Pro Wheel and Pedals. "Best Rig"
❤️
“ Best Rig” I just recently purchase the Logitech Challenge X to use with my Logitech G Pro Wheel and it works very well together. Thanks for the reviews as it made it alot easier to make a purchase decision!
Awesome good to hear the reviews help. It's actually the perfect setup if you're limited for space, enjoy 👌
Excellent summary thx
Great video! What would you choose? Oplite gtr s8 or playseat trophy? I cant decide
I believe that the Playseat Evolution is a great budget choice.. It costs around 300€ new and you can get it used for as low as 90€. I got mine used and only required a seat cover as its white leather seat was quite used up (the vinyl coating started falling off).
It's not perfect but it's great for getting into sim racing. It can even support a DD Wheel and minor mods make it even greater.
The Pedal stand is rather flimsy and needs an additional part (wood or whatever) to make it stable.
What is the cheapper cockpit (and seat pack) would you recomend for Moza R12?
I ended up with a TR8 Pro just because of the ease of assembly and aesthetics. An 80/20 rig like the TR120 would be more customizable but I didn't want the hassle of taking hours to put everything together and the trouble I'd have in case I need to move it for any reason.
I recently got a PC but before I had a Logitech g29 wheel+shifter now Im thinking about getting a USB handbrake. Whats the best one and what to look when buying it?
Great review! It would be nice to include RSeat rigs in a next edition, if there is going to be one.
👌
Which Rig is best choice that supports a 65" IN TV and also has inverted pedal options. I can't confirm if the TR 160 has TV Mounts that support 65"
Another great video bro, very helpful 👍🏼
"BEST RIG" 🔥
❤️
I just got the next level racing gt elite and it’s dope af now I need the motion base for it
I'm soooooo glad to hear this. I've ordered one, arriving in a month.
How long did it take to build?
@@supercededman it only took me a 3-4 hours alone faster if you have help
I have a question do the cockpits come with monitor/tv stands?
And if they do what would u recommend a budget one
I am looking into these for ergonomic reasons; mostly mouse/ keyboard. Will be sat in for long hours.
What would you recommend?
All you need to know is do you need foldable/portable or do you have room?
Find a budget and goal. Then find out which has the cheapest shipping/product total. Then buy. One company in EU will kill US buyers for shipping. Vice versa.
100% for the "beginners on a budget" don't forget the DIY wood step... Is the step between pedal stands and aluminum if u have the space... U don't need to spend over $300 to get a solid box frame. (Put that money towards the sim hardware itself and then upgrade rig down the road again)
All things in steps\chapters of your life\sim hobby.
Just a tip!
This vid should definitely be mentioning DIY some point in the first 1\3...
But good recommendations overall 👍🏻
I think the playseat trophy is the most aesthetically pleasing to me, has little to no flex and still retains portability, with the optional shifter if desired. I think it's the jack of all trades here, esp paired with the logitech pro wheel/pedals.
I know everyone says to get an alu rig, but they just look too industrial to me and are a PITA to move around.
Thanks for the video!
Yes definitely looks so good 👌
@@GeekStreet just curious, do you have a favorite wheel and pedal set so far? Your video last year on the PSVR2 and GT7 is the reason I'm down this rabbit hole and have been diligently thrifting FB marketplace for the logitech suite of products 😛
@@pelvispresley22 if you got about $800 (for the base and rim) the alpha mini from simmagic is the way to go from my research, plan on picking one up myself.. below that I'd look at the csl elite DD from fanatec. They also got a good deal going that comes with the pedals for like $600. I been using the v3's from fanatec for about 3 years now highly recommend them if you got the $.
The GT Omega Classic wheel stand also has a rear seat frame add-on, much like the Next Level alternative you featured immdiatly after. I own the GT Omega classic wheel stand with the rear seat frame add-on, and it is all available to purchase on GT Omega's website.
Best rig out of all those? I really like the Trak Racer TRX with it's tubular structure. Years ago, I used to have Trak Racer's older tubular models (with monitor mount), but there were some welding weak points. Hence I replaced it with Simetik K2-R, which offers good adjustability in a fairly small footprint. I also like its aesthetics. 7:55
I have Trak Racer Tr80- lite but I think i have my pedal angle setup wrong, i adjust the brake so that it’s 90 degrees to the ground. How should the pedal angle be for a GT rig?
Great video
Interesting video 👍 I'm looking into the playseat trophy and wondering what TV mount you would recommend to go with it?
Playseat do a stand but I've been using a stand from Trak Racer which is pretty good.
I currently have the Playseat Evolution. Should i upgrade to a better Rig?
Pleased to hear Playseat Challenge G is usable with a DD. Weak in front/back wheel stand flex but side to side seems decent enough.
2nd...
Dangit-
Man's always got the content we need doe

I'm thinking of doing a DIY motion sim racing rig. I would be curious if you have thought about this and if you have a 'BEST RIG' in mind?
Built my own rig by looking up the measurements i need for a 80x40 Base and 120x40 wheelstand as well a Monitorstand. The Parts cost me around 400 EUR plus 300 EUR for the Seat.
Thanks bro
Great video! but I assume you're not aware of it, the GT Omega classic stand has an option to upgrade to a seat as well
If I need a budget rig, the NLR F-GT Pro is a nice option, but eventually, the advantages alumunium profiles have is just too hard to ignore.
“Big Rig” awesome 😎
💪
4. Player. Well done😊
What happen to the Yaw options that started on kickstarter?
Ive been looking for a new cockpit so this couldn't come at a better time lol. Does the tr120 or the next level racing gt elite come with a butt kicker mount?
Been a while since I reviewed both from what I recall its the next level racing one that comes it, but double check that.
I just bought NLR F-GT Lite + T300 RS GT 😮💨
Nice review 'Sim rig'
🤩
best rig
thx
❤️
After seeing the high end rig At the end, I don't think I want any other, ha, ha,
Best rig.
🤣
Gang what is the name of the monitor stand I need that too
Gt omega wheel stand also has the rear seat frame add on..
BEST RIG 🙌🏽
❤️
I have a Fanatec CSW 2.5 (8 N/m) and am looking to get an entry level wheel stand or full rig which one would you recommend as id like one with no flex at all. the next level racing wheel stand dd is my current choice but would like to hear any recommendations
That's perfect I'd say as you can upgrade and bolt on the seat later up
Bonjour, dans les châssis a petit prix, Omega Art est très bien,ai monté 3 renfort et c'est parfait,😊
I like my Playseat Trophy, but i’d like to buy a Track Racer RS6.
My son like it where can I buy it
If you don't like the looks of an aluminium rig like me then have a look at the RSR21 from Rock Solid Rigs starting around £ 400. I have one and am very pleased with it easily modifiable as it's made from wood
From wood?? I'll have to check that out!
@@GeekStreet well its beach plyboard that used in aircraft. If you look on CZcams for Rock Solid Rigs you'll find reviews on it. I got mine with the two monitor mounts and was so pleased with the looks and how it's built 👍 from me.
Hi, thank you for all the contact you share with us, its greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to ask what size oled screen you were using @ 4:11
Thanks, it's a 55inch LG C1 OLED
@@GeekStreet That's awesome! Thanks for getting back to me.
Best rig
Open wheeler gen 3
Get the seat riser kit
I got all the add ons
Go watch there video on here , see em at end , racing , flight ect .
Best sim rig for money .
Can you give me some games i should play with a racing rig like this on xbox
I choose GT Omega Titan over NLR GT Racer.
If PLAYSEAT® SENSATION PRO have more easier possibilities of adjustment, then for me it could be perfect SIM cockpit .
Best Rig

best rig! loved this vid

I just bought the SimLab X-1 Pro 😂
BEST RIG
🤩
Yep a good comfy for you cockpit and loadcell pedals are the most important parts of a rig imo i 😘 ve my Next Level Racing cockpit and Moza CRP pedals i just live Moza period the customer service is next level my USB port vroke on my R12 and they are sending a new whole pcb so they are replacing the whole board in the base i didn't even have to ask for it i sent them a picture of the broken port and proof of purchase and they said we will send you a new pcb if you can put it in i was in shock and was prepared to have a fight to get my R12 fixed like u would with Fanatec but nope Moza is on another level than other brands and its my fault it broke but they had my back i wish all companies where like Moza
Now did you let MOZA know how awesome they were for doing this, because that is exactly the feedback they need.
I bought a trac racer 160 with a bunch of addons..
Spent a fortune… they never shipped the item.
Contacted support many times. Heard nothing.. being forced to dispute purchased with bank.
Not a great time as I bought it weeks ago for an event… had to miss the event.
Don't sleep on advanced sim racing. They have good customer service and free shipping in North America. I prefer independent monitor stand and the advanced vesa mounts are totally worth it.
SIZE MATTERS! Can you roll your rig into a closet and have it disappear?
WHEELS! Adding caster wheels changes everything.
SHAKERS! It’s the heated seat option in the dead of winter.
Many online sim shops sell their own brand of aluminum profile rig at a fraction of the price of trakracer and next level, it's a crime to have a video like this and not even mention that. Since it's aluminum extrusion, there is little to no difference between them and more 'name' brands like trakracer and gt omega. Hell you can look up the parts list from a simshop like advanced sim racing and just order all the pieces yourself from a metal shop. I did exactly thst for some add on pieces for my rig. You can order custom lengths and custom end taps and the hardware so you can basically add on whatever you can imagine and have it identical to a name brand at a fraction of the cost.
Is there a way to filter out British reviews from my CZcams feed?
Was my accent that bad 😳😅
Wheres the GT-Track?
Can you make a tutorial on how to buy a rig without your wife leaving you?
Buy a foldable one together with a new handbag for her 👌
The downside to the aluminium profile rigs is that they have two tall posts for the wheelbase mount and these can obstruct the screen
asr pro is the best.
Best Rig: my Mazda 3 5-speed hatchback. Otherwise, I'd have to say I love the look of the Logitech Playseat. Thanks for the video.
Everyone wants the most expensive one 😂😂😂
Feel free to give me one of your “Best rig”… 🙃
❤️😅
Mich würde tatsächlich interessieren wieso deine Titel and Kapitel immer auf Deutsch sind aber du englisch sprichst?
Würden dann nicht eher Leute die kein Deutsch sprechen denken das es auf deutsch ist und deswegen nicht anklicken?
DO NOT BUY THE LOGITECH TROPHY if you have load cell pedals. I bought it and when I pressed on the brake hard my chair would move back.

PLAY HAS NO LIMITS 🙏♥️
Although playing games may be enjoyable, but it can also be addictive.
Worth remembering that there is more to life than playing games...
...enjoy nature, being with friends & family...
Remember that the African peoples are now free (not under any colonial power) an African man should not have to beg...
Africa is free & full of natural resources but has been left desperately poor by the colonisers.
Peace 💚
Build it yourself
