The Budget Friendly Wheel Stand: GT OMEGA Apex Stand - Review

[@fittpatley]

I use the same stand. Dd pro 8Nm keeps a cup of coffee on the gear stick tray without spilling it or vibrating it off. Would recommend

[@fittpatley]

@jeffreybankers3988 it came with a few bolts of different lengths. But I think I had to use the nut provided with the DDpro wheel base as they slide into a recess. It is a great stand. 💯

[@SaltyTomTom]

Thanks for telling me that, i was worried if my 5,5nm dd Moza R5 would shake it too much

[@jamal3121]

I started with the stand and eventually built up the rear seat frame and the XL seat.

[@MrCamel254]

are you happy with the purchase? does it flex or is it rigid?

[@jamal3121]

@MrCamel254 Happy with the purchase. Full rig now that I have the rear seat frame.

[@stevestratas5345]

The best thing about this stand is it’s rigidity compared to the classic! There is also an upgrade path to make it into a full rig for an extra $100 - 130 CAD depending if there is a sale or discounts. If you are on a budget just go to the scrap yard and get a preferably leather non power passenger seat (I recommend an Audi A4 $46 CAD or VW Jetta seat since the mounting bolts are even and flat and the seat also has up and down adjustment on the fly that most rigs don’t offer) I found this rig more sturdy than the ART and more adjustable/customizable than the Titan.

[@Dubstepconcept]

I have the Apex ordered and should be here later this week. The way it is designed, I don’t see any way of adding on the seat. The Classic looks like it could be added but the Apex looks soldered off. Am I missing something?

[@ndi5670]

@@Dubstepconcept have to agree. Hence the $150 price tag. Or less on sale. All the other stands that are well built AND upgradable cost more, some significantly more.

[@fittpatley]

@Dubstepconcept there's a video on thier website explaining the process. You get a base that extends for the seat then attach the seat.

[@Kennels_uG]

Im currently on DIY pallet wood thing I built with G29 because its just way to expensive to buy in South Africa, being competitive thus far with what I have. Hoping and praying for a new and better setup

[@DownForceSimRacing]

Thata pretty dope gluck

Will my beer fall off the shifter platform after a rally race?

[@glennalderton1313]

Thanks for that Info! I just went and ordered the RS6. Now if it helps my lap times it will be worth it - a table and old office chair are not the best option to get golds in Time Trials! 😄

[@MarcelNinety]

I use a wheelstand , too , because i dont have much space . I can recommend it , especially with not so much Nm 👍

What are you talking about? You're comment makes zero sense.

[@RTR_RRoomes73]

That’s my setup Digit and I bought the wheel attachment. And it’s great. It was the Omega Classic that I got though

[@karlsmith8113]

It seems like the ideal upgrade to go for. I have a wheel stand already but its a single aliminium post type stand, not particularly comfy, nor stable as it sways back and forth etc.

[@slavplaysgames]

Been sim racing for 6 months and i ordered this yesterday and i plan on update it with the char attachment and im planning to keep this and my g923 w acelith gt wheel mod for 2 to 3 years and then ill buy a proper rig and i think this is the perfect solution for my issue also i tend to stay outside of my country for months due to work .

[@cyrildata92]

J'ai un wheel stand pro et je dois avouer que la barre au milieu est un vrai problème pour moi! cette solution peut être plus intéressante avec mon siège Gaming Corsair! Merci pour ta vidéo Digit!

[@willoughbyrapkins3448]

By the way the link in the video description is a link to the Classic rather than the Apex wheel stand 😃

[@DigitRacingDG]

Thanks, it's fixed :)

[@PYR0XIII]

would you say the wheelstand has room to also fit an ebrake?

[@reveck3497]

Thank you for this video! I've just bought it with your link and also still got the discount :)

[@DigitRacingDG]

Oh thanks for using it, and I hope you'll like it

[@jbeeches1]

Hi i have there Gt Apex stand and will bye the chair add on .But was looking to get a Moza r12 with Fanatec v2 pedles would this stand work well with the 12nm wheel ? cheers James

[@Rexy80AO]

I used the r9 with the crp pedals and it had a little slightly flex but nothing crazy

[@kevingraham3317]

Do all the holes line up without drilling I am am using the same rig except for the wheel

[@DigitRacingDG]

I mounted V3 pedals without drilling new holes, and the same with the wheelbase

[@etiennejacquemart]

Hello, quick question : could you use it on your couch, instead of a chair? Can the wheel be lowered enough (my couch seat is about 40cm height). Thanks!

[@KevKlopper]

looks like it can be. good idea

[@BeachClub_1]

Great review, thanx a lot. How much does the Apex weigh including your Wheel Base and pedals? I would like to get an impression if it is duable to set it up and carry it away around twice a week for gaming. Thanx a lot.

[@DigitRacingDG]

Depends on the wheel but around 20-25 kg, it's doable but might take 5-10 minutes to put together

[@willoughbyrapkins3448]

Does it come with mounting screws? (I'm using a Logitech G923). Thanks.

[@willoughbyrapkins3448]

I just saw them 😅

[@THEDENDIECASTRACING]

GT omega should make a chair that snaps into the chair holder.

[@deadlocked9626]

Love this im gonna be getting a setup very soon 🎉🎉🎉🎉 im definitely gomna invest in a good chair because yes you can get away with using whatever but long term, especially if youre grinding this game, your lower back is gonna 🦆💦🐜🦆🐜🌒👍❤️💞💸💩😃😈😸💸😸🍖😸🦆❤️🐜😸🐜😸🐟😃❤️

[@garyr5866]

Wtf is with all the emojes? How old are you? 12?

[@grimlocked2524]

Has anyone tried to attach the Cammus C5 to the GT Omega Apex? I ordered mine and am not sure if the drill holes match. Thanks and subscribed.

[@Stormy2021x]

Who I their right mind works use a $5 fold out chair with that?

[@frankswe9469]

Hello, great video! What is the maximum angle you can set the wheel base? I mostly playing truck sims and looking for a more upright driving position than a race car?

[@DownForceSimRacing]

I heard it cant go up far

[@gadgetguytx]

Very good comment and evaluation of this item

[@golfboy7438]

Would you recommend this or the playseat challenge?

[@scoredcurtis]

brought the stand but i have no how i am setting this up for a fanatec csl dd, i feel the instructions are bad, any good set up videos around?

[@cnedden]

I was thinking about getting this. How well do you think it would work if i put it on carpet and didn't use the chair attachment with a 8nm fanatec DD pro?

[@DigitRacingDG]

It will work, but I do recommend using the chair link, otherwise you'll have some movement while braking. But everything depends on the pedals, my V3s take a lot of force so a chair link is a must

[@poweryx9965]

hey, how tall are you mate? for measuring

[@DigitRacingDG]

180 cm

[@PrinceofPwnage]

I have a gaming chair with casters on it. How well will this stand work with a regular gaming/office chair?

[@DigitRacingDG]

It will work with any chair, it's not a prime cockpit but it works really well

[@deagt3388]

Ma dobra je i ta kuhinjska stolica! ;-)

[@SpartanA31xx]

Would this be able to handle the new Clubsport DD 12nm?

[@BZXT]

I run this with 10nm and have no issues at all. No noticeable flex when racing. Confident it will handle 12nm no problem.

[@GT-ii7ci]

Im checking their page and this is sold out lmao

[@markasaur]

If your in the states. Amazons got them in stock for like $10 more then retail. Just bought one a min ago. Should arrive by the weekend

[@T.K.9]

I am interested on the apex too for a csl dd 5nm. Id get a full rig but one its expensive and 2 space is limited... And cause of the 60kg loadcell brake. That thing is so stiff you cannot brake without lifting the whole pedal assembly off the floor 😅

[@ildadozzoI]

Did u buy it?

[@ndi5670]

One word, carpet

[@fuckdemocraticsocialism4079]

Could definitely use a better setup

[@DownForceSimRacing]

Is it just me or is his car going wide because hes playing in socks. Me personally can never play without shoes

[@bwoahgeetee]

Barefoot is the only way to go

[@Joro379]

Anyone using this on sofa please comment with your experience.

[@wogzcok6104]

Music is horrible

[@TheDoctor46vr]

Okay so i guess you wouldn't use more than 8nm on this?

[@DigitRacingDG]

You can, but not recommended
