I'm actually surprised how lowkey this thing is and how more populair the lawnchair rig seems to be. Personally this is perfect because it's sturdy, has the option of upgrade and most important part that does not get enough praise is the tray holding the chair, my biggest issue solved.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

For sure Gary; while the F-GT Lite and GT Lite are both fantastic rigs for small spaces, the Wheel Stand 2.0 is an all-round much more robust offering. You'll have no problem running a direct drive wheel on this beast. 👍

[@bestopinion9257]

What if you have a stable chair? Does the cockpit glide forward when you press the pedals?

[@garykuiler8820]

@@bestopinion9257 don't think so

[@AdamsOlympia]

@@ADAPTNetwork is it big and sturdy enough to accommodate a 4DAF motion rig like the Qubic system or others?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question @@AdamsOlympia. The Wheel Stand 2.0 is certainly sturdy enough to be used with a motion setup. And, in theory, you could bolt some compatible motion actuators to the bottom of the wheel stand, using the mounting points that the feet screw into. I would also assume that you'd need to use the GT seat add-on instead of a regular office seat ( www.adaptnetwork.com/gaming/sim-racing/next-level-racing-gt-seat-add-on/ ). However, I'd recommend reaching out to the motion rig manufacturer to check compatibility, as I'm not 100% sure. I hope that helps. 👍

@@ADAPTNetwork thanks for your reply. I'm coming from a T300rs on a Wheel Stand Pro and wanted to upgrade to DD and was thinking of getting the new Gran Turismo DD wheel base. Was wondering if this Wheel Stand 2.0 could handle it and if I could easily fold it away in my cupboard after use. Your brilliant review has convinced me it can handle it and I don't think space will be more of an issue than it is now with the Wheel Stand Pro. Really can't wait to upgrade my gear but availability on this great stand is becoming an issue I can't find reasonably good prices on it that ship to my location.

Just bought one of these and reasonably happy. I don't trust the folding up of the stand. I really don't want my gear falling over in the middle of the night. The secure bolts also don't hold it closed very well when folded. It's quite heavy. Ok now the negs out the way. Everything you said in the video is bang on.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your comment and kind words Paul-I'm really glad you're getting on well with the wheel stand. I'm the same way when it comes to looking after my gear. However, at least with the wheel stand, it doesn't take up too much space in the corner of your room, even when it's not folded. Happy sim racing bud!

[@anddudewaslike]

I’ve been trying to decide between the F-GT Lite cockpit with a Logitech g923, or a wheelstand with a DD wheel combo. This video might be one of the best/most informative for me. The gaming chair cradle is an absolute game-changer. I have a Herman-Miller that would be really nice to use with this wheel stand. The foldaway capability could be what seals the deal for me, as I’m working with limited space as well. A+ review, mate

Good review! Two tips for future wheelstand/rig reviews: 1. Maybe use a more powerful (if you own one that is) wheel/pedal-combo to show the viewers how it reacts. 2. Show more footage of the flex. Where and if it exist. Different angles is key! In this case some other reviewers pointed out the shiftermount was prone to flexing.

Just bought this and I tested it with my g29 bolted down and all, but just the steering wheel without turning it on since I need to do some electronic changes on my pedals, and I got to say that I feel already super satisfied with it in my camping chair that eventually whenever I can afford it at the right time and place I’ll just get the GT seat add on and I already got myself a full rig without any need to by a new rig such as the playseat sensation pro (my TRUE ideal type of racing rig) or an F GT elite/ GT elite which people said that they’re both good as well but all 3 rigs that I’ve just mentioned are quite pricy so that’s why I’d just stick with getting the GT seat add on ngl 😂✌️.

the exact same situation im in too!

[@BrakeCheckGaming]

Hello buddy! First of all just wanna thank you a bunch for that awesome of a review that you have brought up for us, you are really doing a great job covering all the key points so we can make an idea on what to expect for this wheel stand. However, small question: does this wheel stand comes with bolts for wheel and shifter? I am planning to mount my TM TX Leather edition and Th8a shifter which don't come with mounting bolts for a wheel stand.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your kind words BCG-I'm stoked you liked the review. Yes, true to form, Next Level Racing includes some spare M6 bolts to mount your wheel, pedals and shifter. 👍

[@Bacender]

Adjustment of the wheel stand is pretty annoying once you’ve got it all set up. There are no push pins or spring loaded latches - everything is held together by bolts that need an Allen key to loosen and tighten. A friend of mine came over to try out the WS2.0 and I needed to undo 8 bolts to get everything lined up for him which was a pain in the ass, as it prevented us from being able to swap back and forth. I would’ve really liked to have seen some sort of latching or push pin mechanism to quickly adjust some key parts of the stand without having to break out tools and spend 10 minutes adjusting everything. Also, as you mentioned, the unit is very heavy once fully built (and awkward to move through a door due to its width with the shifter plate add on). I race on my pc and my ps5 in the living room and moving the WS2.0 in and out of my office and living room is a pain due to its size and weight - castor wheels would’ve been massively appreciated.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

For sure mate, I would definitely recommend picking up some caster wheels if you need to move the wheel stand between rooms. On a plus side, the extra weight keeps the wheel stand planted when racing hard. Also, good points about the adjustability mechanics.

[@Notremah]

Going to buy one because of your review!

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your comment Notremah-I really appreciate the support. I’ll be sure to update the links in the video description as soon as the wheel stand is in stock. Fingers crossed this won’t be too long. 🤞

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

@@ADAPTNetwork You may be able to help me a little more: with regard to the shifter plate and associated arm, how far would you say it comes horizontally into the middle of the setup if it were to be mounted for right-handed use but mounted on the left leg of the stand? I ask as I would use the shifter mount for my HOTAS stick and hopefully be able to mount it in such a way as to have the shifter plate more or less between my legs with my stick on top, as a joystick would be for helicopters. Hope that makes sense!

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Good question @@TheOneTrueSpLiT. I don't think you'd be able to position the shifter mount in a central position, without modifications. However, you should be able to position it above your left leg. You may need to raise the height to allow enough clearance for your legs to access the rudder pedals. Hope that helps. 👍

[@justskyedriftz]

@@ADAPTNetwork cool! Can you mount the shifter on the right side and is it also PlayStation compatible 😂 assuming it’s just the stand, sure it is

[@ADAPTNetwork]

@@justskyedriftz Yes-you can attach the shifter & handbrake mount to either side of the rig. And, console compatibility is determined by your electronics, so as long as you have a PlayStation compatible wheel, pedal and shifter, you're good to go. Hope that clarifies. 👍

Thnx for this review. You measured the height when Extended, i would like to know the height on it's lowest. I want to know if i can slide the whole thing under my desk.

Fantastic review! Do you have any idea how this Stand will workout with the Fanatic ClubSport shifter 1.5? Do you reckon it will sit too high?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your kind words Geefiasco-I'm stoked you liked the review. As I mentioned in the video, I would have liked to have been able to drop the shifter down a little lower. With my Thrustmaster TH8A, I was still able to position it in a comfortable location and replicate a reasonably realistic driving position. However, with the Fanatec ClubSport shifter 1.5, your mileage may vary. If you're going for a rally or drift setup, then it could work to your advantage, raising the shifter up closer to the wheel. I hope that helps. 👍

[@Geefiasco]

@@ADAPTNetwork Cheers that helps. Much appreciated.

[@username9595]

So when you race, does the chair move side to side? And how about when using heavy braking power, does it the whol rig move?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question. Personally, I didn't have any issue with chair rotation, though this somewhat depends on the chair you use. As with braking, the Wheel Stand 2.0 is a pretty robust unit, at 22kg. So, as long as you're not applying excessive break pressure, I think you should be fine-especially when locking the chair in place using the chair cradle. Hope that helps. 👍

[@AdzzVR]

Can you adjust the angle of the rig so that it can be used under a desk ? My desk is about 72cm high.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question mate. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the angle of the A-frame itself. However, you should be able to adjust the height of the wheel to match your desk height and position the wheel stand so that the pedals are underneath your desk. Hope that helps. 👍

I also have a herman miller aeron (size c) and was considering buying this stand. I’ve been looking for something that I can fit behind/under my desk but there’s limited room between my desk and the wall behind me. If you have the rig right up against your desk, how close can you get the chair to the desk? Currently using a table clamp for my fanatec DD 8nm which is less than ideal so this would be absolutely massive for me! Cheers, I’ve been loving your content since finding you

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your kind words and question inki. It's hard to say for sure, as this depends on what wheel you have attached to the CSL DD base and the position of your pedals. In terms of driving position, you'll be absolutly fine and will be able to setup a realistic field of view with your monitor. However, I doubt you'd be able to perform normal desk work with the wheel stand in place. While you can position the chair close to the desk, it won't be in a comfortable position. If you're really short on space, your best bet will be to fold up the wheel stand and store it against a wall in your room. Does that somewhat answer your question mate?

[@inkiblackman2625]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@ADAPTNetworkey man. Thanks for the prompt reply! I’m using a mix of the BMW CSL P1 V2 and the CS F1 V2. Im used to having the pedals a little further back in real life driving and in my current setup too. If i were to mount the pedals as far back as possible, would you feel I could get them far enough back that it wouldn’t be problematic when I’m right up close to the desk? (I wouldn’t mind if its not quite the best angle as long as it doesn’t really hurt performance) I don’t have particularly long legs or anything (I’m 5 10). If i can get the wheel stand in between my desk and chair (my chair is only around 15cm/6 inches from the wall behind it), I would be happy even if its a little tight. I will probably have to fold it up every time I use it but I wouldn’t mind that as currently I have to remove the desk clamp, and my handbrake and shifter also have to be clamped to the desk which is a pain since I use my desk for work and other non racing games. Thanks again for the help 🙏

Just wondering, is it possible to unmount the gearshift golder for storage? maybe some hand turning bolts? Or do you have to unbolt more than just the platform itself

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your comment Nick. Yes, I think the shifter plate is pre-drilled to fit the Heusinkveld sequential shifter. With a shifter this sturdy, however, you may experience some slight flex in the shifter mount, as reported by fellow commenter SkitXxo riviera. I believe Next Level Racing is soon releasing an add-on to prevent this though. Hope that helps. 👍

[@Dalejrfan5150]

How do you get it so slim with folding? Mine folds but unfolds a bit for the legs making it take up a good bit of space.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question Dalejrfan. Do you have a carpeted or hard floor? On a carpet, you can fold the wheel stand quite slim, so that the edges of the feet dig into the carpet to keep it secure. Alternatively, you can lean the wheel stand against a wall, using a cloth between to protect both the wall and your equipment. In either case though, this may put extra strain on the feet. So, if you have the space, it may be better to open the wheel stand out slightly. Hope that helps. 👍

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question Sameh. The Wheel Stand 2.0 would make an excellent first rig and pair well with the CSL DD. Plus, you can upgrade it to a full rig-using the GT Seat Add-on- down the line. Personally, I didn't have any issue with chair rotation, though this somewhat depends on the chair you use. Hope that helps. 👍

so when you fold it up for storage it takes up more space then if you leave it in its use position?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question wickfut. When folded, the Wheel Stand 2.0 will be slightly higher-especially when accounting for the extra height of the wheel. Though, it will still take up less space in your room, if you lean it against a wall or stow it away in a cupboard. Hope that clarifies. 👍

The pedal deck looks a little flimsy - there is a long unsupported section behind the bolt, and it's just held to the chosen angle by a bolt on either side. Is there really no flex/possibility of slipping?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question Saint. I didn't notice any flex during my testing. I think you would be absolutly fine running 90kg load cell pedals. If you're running pedals with much higher brake forces though, then you may experience some slight flex. Hope that helps. 👍

[@VaticanTop]

I love how this guy just picks it up like it has no weight to it lol, good review but man this thing is really heavy with a DD on it...you better get some castor wheels.

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Haha, the Wheel Stand 2.0 is certainly not the lightest option for sure. This works in its favour, when in use, as it keeps the rig planted. I think that if you only need to move the wheel stand to the corner of your room, then you can get away with just picking it up. However, like you say, if you need to transport it between rooms or longer distances, then a set of caster wheels is a great idea. 👍

[@packzy4549]

Would the DD1 work with this?

[@ADAPTNetwork]

Thanks for your question Packzy. I think the Wheel Stand 2.0 is definitely strong enough for both the Fanatec DD1 and DD2. In fact, Next Level Racing has a great video showing the Wheel Stand DD running the DD2 at different force feedback settings ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJvVhYCbrMRgnpo ). The Wheel Stand 2.0 is very similar in design and construction to the Wheel Stand DD. The only real differnce is that the pedal plate support structure, on the Wheel Stand DD, is welded in place. While this would in theory result in the Wheel Stand DD being slightly more stable than the Wheel Stand 2.0, I don’t think that you will notice that much difference. And, I found the Wheel Stand 2.0 to be impressively stable. Note, in the Next Level Racing demo video, that there is some slight movement in the Wheel Stand DD when running the DD2 at high force feedback settings. So, I would suggest running the DD1 at around 50% for the best overall experience. Hope that helps. 👍

[@-fatal-]

Nice review. I can see that the footprint is 55x65. Can you tell me how large it is in both direction including the shifter and handbrake mount? I mean, in opened state (without the gaming chair cradle). If I buy this, I probably won't fold it, but I'm limited on space. Thank you.

Can you set the pedal plate up for a formula style?

Thanks for your question Brent. The pedal plate can be adjusted to a maximum tilt angle of 15° (8:36). So, unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll be able to simulate a formula driving position with the Wheel Stand 2.0.

Thanks for your question Peter. I would personally opt for the Wheel Stand 2.0, as it’s structurally stronger than the F-/GT Lite rigs. While you could run the Fanatec DD on either of the Lite rigs, I think you’ll lose some of the force feedback through vibrations in the frame. Hope that helps. 👍

[@ADAPTNetwork]

No worries @@ImJustPeter. In the lowest position, the wheel deck is 69cm from the ground. However, if you remove the shifter mount arm, it can go even lower. It might be worth placing your wheel on some boxes, in front of your TV, to see if this is workable for your setup. Personally, I think you’ll be able to get away with it as your eyeline will be above your wheel, looking down at your TV, and your TV is a decent size to compensate.
