GT Omega Racing Classic Wheelstand Review

[@kraM1t]

Pretty disappointed you didn't show the left to right wobble with the T300 mounted on top. Push it side to side and watch it wobble away, takes away some of the FFB. The rest of it is okay

[@randomcallsign]

I should have mentioned it, so I'll pin your post

[@Steve30x]

I have this wheel stand. It doesn't wobble a lot and even with the wobble the ffb feels a whole lot better with the wheel stand than it does with the wheel clamped to a table or desk.

[@theonlyegg]

@@Steve30x Explain further? Seems like a solid desk would give the best ffb.

[@Steve30x]

[@theonlyegg]

@@Steve30x how a wobbly stand is better than a solid desk.

WE SLIDING BOYS! Let's also take a moment to appreciate the infinite versatility of the IKEA kalax units.

[@randomcallsign]

KALAX is where it's at

[@virtualgridlock301]

Moment taken. Kalax appreciated.

[@jeremyschouten5697]

I love the "willing spouse" comment and couldn't agree more.

[@Salutifer0us]

Minimalistic, compact and with plenty of adjustments possible - seems really cool.

[@DaniMacYo]

Great review as always. I’ve purchased one for my CSL Elite with LC. Should be fun. I also have a Wheel stand pro but I couldn’t get the GTS plate delivered to Australia because of COVID. Oh well so I got the Omega instead.

[@chikifree]

this is the setup ive been thinking of getting. how is it?

[@DaniMacYo]

@@chikifree I’ve been having fun with it I honestly love it. The LC brake is very different and takes some getting used to compared to the G29 I had. But it’s fine after an hour it feels normal. It’s very still when you first get it but that’s because the settings on the wheel itself are at 100 percent. So I left my brakes stock with the original weight around 20 KG of pressure I think. and adjusted the brake settings within the wheel itself to 20 or 30 because I’ve got a standard office chair I’m sitting in. If you got something that won’t slide back you can turn the pressure up to your liking. Overall I’m a better driver because of this wheel. It’s just so much smoother than the G29.

[@JamesTumilty]

Looks like a great option for getting a setup when space is limited. I would have loved one of these a few years back, would have been much better than the tiny coffee table I used tot use.

[@SebastienBrunier]

I have it with a TS-PC Racer and the rear frame and RS9, it makes you a rather solid rig and really inexpensive (even cheaper with a car seat from a car scrap yard), one big advantage as well is the overall foot print with the rear seat frame, it is one (if not) the most compact rig on the market (120x48cm)

[@randomcallsign]

Seb, you are really making me go for that

[@SebastienBrunier]

@@randomcallsign you won't regret it, it is a trully good first rig and it looks awsome with the RS9

[@erudzitis84]

150 $ is expensive, but it is good quality

[@SebastienBrunier]

@@erudzitis84 it is a lot of money, that is true, but with a second hand car seat and the rear frame that doesn't cost much, for less than 250 you get a full rig, that is unbeatable value in my book and one of (if not the) cheapest. At least that's what set my mind and my choice.

[@vatch07075]

Great review! seems like a fantastic budget conscious option. Also, in the US, the stand is $125 for the next 24 days :)

[@priceG]

Thanks for this! I've been wanting to get a wheelstand and i've been looking at this one. Seems great!

[@randomcallsign]

Might I suggest, if you buy it, to use the affiliate link below? I get a few bucks out of the sale.

[@priceG]

@@randomcallsign Sure!

[@jojo190396]

Indeed the wheel stand + good racing equipment is quiet heavy! Has anyone tried to install caster wheels on it? If so, which ones have you used?🙂

[@jamesbutler606]

I have the pro, i can say it moves with the loadcell on my CSW 2.0's, otherwise it's brilliant - think the seat rail and a seat will be in the future for this set up to make it a solid setup - why spend more.

[@randomcallsign]

I own it as well but that is from another brand. It weighs about half of this one. they are completely different beasts.

[@Azkam213]

Thank you very much, it wasnt easy to find a video like thank you very much

[@rallyfreak12]

Its a great stand, pretty stable. I mounted some alu 2020 profile on the top so i fit also my 34'' ultrawide screen and even then pretty stable

[@steveanthony5907]

I’ve used this stand for about a year now with a TS-XW Racer Wheel and have no complaints.

[@handelmotors]

Good review. I was actually planning on buying the V1 shift mount and seeing about mounting the fanatec ebrake, while using the V2 shift mount for the shifter. Looking at your video...looks like it would probably work. Maybe some minor drilling to mount?

[@Psychoh90]

I use this for the csl dd. Absolutely spot on.

[@dzhizes]

how does it feel?

[@dalgreth6061]

Great review! I have the GT omega APEX stand. Decided that I was probably not going to get the seat box, and the APEX stores vertically in my closet.

[@randomcallsign]

That's another wheelstand I want to review.

[@randomcallsign]

All is going to depend on how many eyes this video gets.

[@virtualgridlock301]

Totally interested in the apex. @Dalgreth If you don’t mind me asking, how is the Apex? What setup do you have with it? Is it strong enough for a CSP v2.5 and a loadcell brake?

[@jimmyover5558]

Ended up getting the version 2 for $99 Aud. It's the cheapest I've found online and pretty sturdy

[@januszmigas9763]

hello, fanatec pedals you have directly connected to the thrustmaster base that works on PS4. I was convinced that such a mix will not work on ps4

[@randomcallsign]

The fanatec pedals are connected to a drive hub adaptor. Check the review playlist for a review of the drivehub.

[@virtualgridlock301]

How does the Classic compare to the Wheelstand Pro? Is it more, er, rigid? I have a Fanatec CSP setup on a WSP (lol) and it flexes too much at high load. If the Classic is stiffer than the WSP then I’ll get the Apex as that should be stiffer still. And a review of the Apex would be awesome.

[@randomcallsign]

The wsp is not as sturdy. But remember that these products are stop gap measures. Higher rigidity comes at a cost, both in money and in loss of storage.

[@virtualgridlock301]

@Laurids my ghetto solution for WSP is to loop a chain going from the base of the stand to the base of my office chair and back... this means when I hit the load cell brakes the chain tenses and nothing moves at all. Therefore i don’t have to press the WSP against anything. My problem with the WSP is the top half twists and rocks too easily in its mount. i’ve tried to shim it and everything but it’s still there. i would get a full rig tomorrow but my wife would do bad things to me. @RC thanks for the like! ;-)

[@mmarkotan]

@@virtualgridlock301 hi, could you please send me a picture or two of your solution to [e-mail]? I´d be interested in trying out your solution. Thank you very much

[@robertmahiques6218]

I know this video is a couple years old but how does it compare to the wheel stand pro? Is it more stable than the pro or about the same? More difficult to store away?

[@Steve30x]

Anyway I have that wheel stand with four years and there's not enough adjustment for the pedals. I need my pedals closer to me. GT OmEga has a newer model wheel stand available now though.

[@TheThorntonBrapper]

For carpeted floor, you can use M8 speaker stand spikes. It will go nowhere then :)

[@TeeBrySensei]

My problem is I can't get my chair close enough to this thing. There was no instructions but I'm pretty sure it's set up right but the gear shift is just way too far from the steering wheel. The gear shift arm can't go back any farther because there is a bolt for the pedal stand going right through the adjuster bar. I think I have a newer model because mine looks slightly different from yours but still I am confused because the distance between me and the pedals is ridiculous because of the gear shift.

[@ien2023]

Thanks for showing that it doesnt seem to wobble.

[@nightruler666]

The frame for the shifter can be mounted to the right correct

[@randomcallsign]

yes

[@brtcobra]

i have the v2. it's an okay stand and the shifter mount is better.

[@netcald991]

@@netcald991 yes a little bit but you won't notice it unless you are aggressive.

I doubt it. Wheelstand pro has something like that. But contact GTOmega

[@grahambaldwinson130]

I want this but a big but what chair do you recommend I have a office chair but it's on wheels so no good and I'm on a budget

[@randomcallsign]

buy casters or sliders for the chair.

[@grahambaldwinson130]

@random callsign I mean I have a chair but if I press the peddles my chair will move ect so maybe I need a simple chair no wheels

[@randomcallsign]

Like I've said, get locking casters or sliders for the chair. That will stop it moving back. On amazon you get that for like 30 wuid

is the classic kompatible to the moza r9?
