Who Said Money Can't Buy Happiness? Next Level Racing Motion Plus Review

[@thermgraphics6937]

It's no secret why despite you having a smaller following, companies are willing to send you expensive products as opposed to other reviewers. These videos are on a different level from nearly everyone else.

[@OCRacing]

Thank you! I spend far too many hours on every video so it’s nice to see comments like these 😅🙂

[@BrianK04]

Some might say... Next level...

[@bikerboy3k]

It's kind of weird tho. I saw one with 128 subs getting a csl dd for review?? Ok then.

[@michaelthedad]

High production value maaan

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

Sometimes I forget that the man "only" has 30k subs, his videos are top notch quality

[@flyingphoenix113]

OC Racing, you've truly become one of the best sim equipment reviewers on KZbin. I watch pretty much every one of your videos (regardless of the product being tested), and I really enjoy your detailed but concise presentation style. It would be great if you could create channel playlists for each of the type of product you review (i.e. one for pedals, one for wheelbases, one for wheels, one for shifters, one for rigs, one for comparisons, one for motion platforms, etc.). I'd love to see you review each of the DOF reality motion rigs in the future; it would also be great to see if the P-series justifies the price increase over the H-series. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@OCRacing]

Thank you!! With regards to the playlists, I’ve been meaning to do that! Will make sure its done as soon as I get a chance. With regards to the DOF motion systems… stay tuned 👀 Thanks for your support :)

[@bitoomad]

Really liking the new style, gives the vids an even more professional feeling, keep it up!

[@OCRacing]

Good to know! More coming soon 🙂

My main concern is durability • What can be expected? Furthermore, what can go wrong, and how does one go about fixing it? What kind of warranty do the manufacturer offers?

[@traylord]

Hi, minute <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="185">3:05</a>, you are wrong, it does not simulate heave, it is only a 2 DOF system, pitch and roll only. To simulate heave you would need 2 of those.

[@vividpsychosis8222]

Just a side note and tip for you… you are WAYYYYY to far away from your wheel. Your arm should be bent at like at 45 degree angle. It straight out. Sit in your seat, put your arm out. Wheel should be between your wrist and middle forearm. Gives you more control

[@DJHeroMasta]

I wonder if they've considered releasing a model priced at $1750 that has a max supported weight of ~300lbs. I primarily want to use this with my VR rig but for $3.5K....I could assemble a second rig, plus more.

[@tsunami6253]

I agree, the cost is getting there. Since this came out the v3 should be cheaper now too right? No, it’s the same price as the latest iteration. 🤦‍♂️

[@LLProductions0]

From the g29 review to this... man you deserve way more success!!

[@OCRacing]

Thank you!! Yeah, we’ve certainly come a long way 😅

[@dogboy0912]

Well since this channel has gotten to motion rigs, I wonder how this stacks against the DOF reality H3 which is like 2.2k compared to this at 3.5k. They both claim 3 axis, but the H3 is Pitch, roll, yaw/rear traction, while this is pitch, roll, and heave.

[@perfectgaming788]

$3,500 is fairly cheap for a full motion platform. I was gonna get the dof reality h3, but I decided on this because I think it'll give a better in the seat feel. I can't wait

[@MaximusPrimus420]

Have you got it yet? i'm so close to pulling the trigger, but i'm so worried. I live in an apartment, is it too loud? I use buttkickers (only during the day, and never up too loud) and have never had a complaint.

[@perfectgaming788]

Not yet. A $2,700 car expense set me back. I'll let you know when I get it. 😊

[@DigiComedy]

It looks like you're too far from your steering wheel. There should be a steep bend in your elbow and it looks like your arms are almost completely straight. Might wanna try moving the pedals back and your seat closer to your wheel. Just a friendly tip!

[@OCRacing]

Yup, appreciate it Michael! I do sit at a pretty awkward position this video but that’s mostly so that my body and it’s movement shows on camera but not my face 😉

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

Ideally, you should sit close enough so you can touch the top of the steering wheel with both wrists.

[@willwastaken]

You're sitting way too far away from the wheel. Aim for your arms to be bent between 45 and 90 degrees when relaxed

[@TWAC97]

Yep I also noticed that

[@mostafaabubaker669]

Money can definitely buy happiness.. but, maybe, we're not all meant to be happy eventually. :)

[@ericison6032]

If you did that in VR IT would be so much better, Because the road would actually tilt with you. It's also much more immersive, Once you go VR you never go back.

[@jackgoresailing]

This looks amazing! If i bought it, i would try to hook the screens to the mnotion too

[@OCRacing]

Good idea! Although I do wonder whether the screens will shake around too much and not align well 👀 🤔

[@jackgoresailing]

@@OCRacing yeah that's true hadn't thought abt that

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

@@OCRacing A good amount of people that use motion sims tend to either go with VR or a single Ultrawide display. That's especially true with some of the DIY 6DoF ones available.

[@SIPEROTH]

This is the best motion platform i have seen. A lot better that the other thing they have that moves the whole cockpit everywhere and is hard to use unless you have full free space left and right in your room or more like a whole room for it. Price of this is better too but still quite high. Is not impossible to save some money to get it BUT this high price causes me anxiety in other departments. Like what if it gets damaged in shipping or ends being a faulty unit or breaks after 4 months or something. After spending so much, such a thing will be devastating. Next Level Racing better offer some high guarantee on this product and have a great customer service.

[@BrianK04]

Does this work with GT7 on PS5?

[@vrdrifters8237]

Well, it looks good until the price tag 😂 My IRL E46 was cheaper than the motion platform itself, so it’s really difficult for people like to justify the purchase

[@farr1260]

Youve come so far man proud of you keep it up! also those are 27 inch 1080p screens?

Aight NLR…. Where’s the livery?!? At this point it’s gotta be coming 🤣

[@timothycordial1248]

Hey, I have the same next level racing f-gt chassis. I noticed in your video that the side pillars on the chassis are really high (since the seat attaches so low. If you invert how the seat is mounted it makes it hands down more comfortable viewing. So it’s just racing the height of the seat.

[@sv9141]

your wheel is too far away. your elbows should be flexed to 90ish degrees. It gives you more control

[@pvk.]

Came from your g29 review video! Hopefully I’ll be getting my hands on my first ever rig which will be the GT omega art cockpit, with the G29 as my starter and then hopefully move up to the more realistic wheels. Keep up the amazing content. You’ve definitely got my attention with these videos! Dropped a sub 👍🏼

[@briandhoward6137]

I think this looks solid for 3500 , and I feel you could add it to any half decent rig. The noise would not bother me and I am sure in real life the cars has some extra sounds we don't get with the sims. Solid review, this is definitely a product I'll keep my eye on.

[@fbmowner]

Thanks for the review. I have the opportunity to grab 2 of these with a hefty discount I'm just struggling to decide if it's worth the extra immersion. Your video is one among my search

[@DanielTorres-yg8bl]

Love your vids oc.btw quick question what handbrake do you recomend if your playing on a console with a logitech g920

[@OCRacing]

Thanks! In terms of handbrakes that’ll work on console, I’m not actually sure. I’d have to check some out.

[@mortar1805]

Idea for next level racing: seatbelts that pull you in while acellerating

[@OCRacing]

I’m pretty sure there are other companies who make that already but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to see one from them

[@pain1427]

Which on is better ,motion plus or v3

[@atrain132]

Man, your setup has come a long way in a short amount of time!

[@arranwilliams2523]

The only problem i see is that the Yaw is in the same price range and has a huge degree of motion, Although i do really like this product if they dropped the price to 2000 i would buy it. or if they included the cockpit but at that price for what else is available it makes no sense.

Aren´t motion rigs normally far more expensive? I fully expected it to be a little under 10k... Damn now im thinking about spenden my whole heir on a motion sim... :/ Anyway this was an awesome video and I hope you drop that VR experience update video soon! Keep up the great work!

Haha, let me know if you do! 😅 Looking forward to trying it out with VR. Just need to set everything up first 😒

[@chrisshurtz5541]

Purchase a 3d Printer instead, and build your own SFX100. It will cost less than this device, do more for you, AND leave you with a 3d Printer to make much more Sim Stuff!

[@perfectgaming788]

Yea, for $3,500, this is actually a bargain. Getting it very soon. Eventually gonna get the second unit for heave. 😊

Okay now, this is legit cool. I am thinking if this could stimulate a couple of g force crashes

[@vladadango603]

How to setup software for just back like here.. I have motion just back mounted but its revers force for braking an acceleration.. In initial setup just gove me option for front or dual

[@TheMikeMarston]

This may be a dumb question, but are there ANY motion platforms to recommend for CONSOLES??

[@drorzy_0485]

Awesome vid and review mate - Did you feel like you are am missing out any motion feedback from the front of the car without have a 2nd one at the front of the cockpit? So I guess what I’m really asking is : Do you think you would get double the feedback/immersion or close to it if you had the a 2nd unit up front for double the money 💰 💰

[@pyroblaze13]

In VR this would be amazing

[@BASHERSKINZ]

This looks good, but should be about half the price

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

You should have brought up the cheaper with more degrees of freedom competition like yaw or dof reality

[@rogerlesot2]

Hello, great review 👍 just one question, is it more realistic than the V3 motion platform ? I don't know wich one I must buy...

[@kristaps2010]

Motion sim or VR. One to choose, one or other, what gives more fun?

[@single_cam9199]

Only if it was the 3k for both front and back units I’d be sold on this

[@facundootero7973]

I'll throw you this: You can put two of those and a traction plus to get 5 DOF

[@vannibombonato4180]

Does it provide haptic vibrations? Like, if your bass shakers were off, with the car parked would you feel the engine vibrating and revving up?

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Excellent review. Really enjoyed this video👍🏻

[@rarityd]

[@imJGott]

I can see that pivot bar being a problem on my wood laminate floor. But a carpet mat fix it but that price…yikes!

[@mpholicx2]

I don't think the price is a yikes! It is a little pricey but not unreasonable considering what you're getting. Definitely on my list of things to get once I everything else in place. I'm still trying to resolve the space issue. I'm going to need to utilize an entire bedroom. We're empty nesters so I have a room that can be used but I need to clear it out first and set everything else up.

[@OCRacing]

That’s a good point although I will say that it features a rubber material on the part that actually makes contact with the floor! Thus, this should eliminate scratches/damage when using this on a wood floor etc.

[@datboisid3wayzz]

What happens if you have a cockpit mounted monitor? Will it stay afloat?

[@alexsimonson1590]

Thanks for the video - but it is probably worth referencing when looking at motion - that less is more. I know for first timers and for visual impact it is great to see the the rig being thrown left and right etc but actually you will get more imersion (and possibly post more consistent times) if you turn down the settings so the motion is more subtle.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Its been a year do you still use it and have you had any issues ??

[@philippegohier6992]

Will it make more sense if the monitors move with the seat ???

[@julshg]

I don't want to be a dickhead but the DOF Reality H3 is just $2139 (plus shipping) and is a 3-axis full motion rig (roll, pitch, and yaw) with 1300W peak draw. the only thing to add is a seat and your wheel and stuff. It even has an included shifter mount ^^ honestly, a review from you would be more than awesome, but there's a good one already up. just your thoughts would be very interesting for me personally since I'll buy it in the future ^^

[@OCRacing]

I’ll definitely see what I can do! Sounds intriguing 🤔

[@julshg]

​@@OCRacing it's laughable that seemingly no one knows about it. the user experience looks surprisingly very straight forward and it has it's own control software to tune the accelerations and more to different profiles, games and even individual cars. the title of said video is "I Bought The CHEAPEST Motion Sim On AMAZON! Will It Be Any Good!?" by Taylor Ray. even tho he used the P3 not H3 with 2 upgrades. The differences are just different motors, gearboxes and power supply, as described on their website

[@ronronald3588]

Thanks for the review. I have a question for you... does the unit rock a little when you are using it without motion? That is, does it shake easily? Say you wanted to play without movement? Lastly, I'd like to give Next Level Racing a shout out their customer service is some of the best!

[@OCRacing]

That’s a great question, and from my experience, no it does not! Only when I am getting in and out does it slightly move.

You have a great channel with very interesting content. This should get a lot more views. It's strange how YT works. A year ago I uploaded a 15 minutes replay video from GT7. Nothing more. Now that vid has 50.000 views. My average viewer amount is sometimes 50 views.. Other but just the same content has 30k views. I'm editing my uploads more now. But my channel is not only about sim racing. It's not always about the views. It's nice to see when you put a lot of effort in editing and creating content that people enjoy it. Thats satisfying. I think you think the same about that. But yeah... I have only around 300 subs😂. That's the difference in quality of your uploads. I don't want to make money with my channel. Only sharing things that I'm passionate about. Keep up the good work👌. I have the next level racing DD wheelstand and saving for the next level racing seat/cockpit.
