Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a Cammus C5 DD wheel and Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals, previously mounted to an NLR Wheel Stand 2.0. The flex in that WS2.0+my Titan evo chair, especially when using the load cell brake pedal, was uncomfortable and introducing some bad habits for me when driving the sim (namely, pulling on the wheel to keep my chair from pushing back). I have limited space but had held off on a complete portable rig because I'd read that none of them work well with DD wheels. Even though my Cammus C5 only peaks at 9Nm torque, I didn't want to risk going with a portable frame. The WS2.0 worked ok until I upgraded to the load cell pedal, then even strapping my chair into the tray on the WS2.0 was not enough. With the release of the GT Lite Pro, I figured it was time to give it a shot. Total time to assemble the GT-Lite Pro out of the box was about 30 min to an hour. To speed up setup and teardown for gaming sessions, I've mounted a powered USB hub to the front bar of the pedal frame, and wired everything to that hub. With appropriate slack and some zip ties I'm able to keep it all in one piece for folding and unfolding. I also bought a cheap power strip for my power adapters, which I can toss into the chair when folding so it all stores neatly together. Set up and teardown takes about 5 minutes. The cam system that NLR uses for locking the hinges in place is pretty easy to work with - once you get them to the right tightness on your initial setup, it's only a matter of flipping the latch and turning one or two times to reduce the tension enough to fold the frame. The only real issue I have with the entire process is the retracting pins you use for setting the backrest angle and folding it flat for storage. Since each side of the chair has a pin and there's no tension on the seat itself, you end up having to provide support for the backrest somehow (I lean into it with my shoulder) and pull the pins one at a time to set the angle by increments. It's hard to explain, but it's a limitation that will be apparent the first time you go to use it. Since you end up having to do this every time you set up and tear down, I can see it being frustrating long term. On the flipside, my understanding is previous versions didn't let you adjust the backrest angle at all, so at least you can do it now :). I also recommend following the "optional instructions" and using the extra straps NLR uses for shipping to increase rigidity of the "feet" under the chair. Makes a big difference. Driving with the GT Lite Pro is exactly what I was hoping for, and I'm sure it could handle much more powerfull DD setups than mine. I'm a large individual (5'11" / 260lbs) with shortish legs, and it is super comfortable and was easy to adjust to my liking. There's very little flex and no creaking or anything, either from my DD wheel or due to my weight (which is well under the stated weight limit). The seat is well cushioned but also has open mesh in multiple places to keep it from feeling too hot. It also is perfectly padded in conjunction with the Razer Freya haptic pad, so the transducers are perfectly placed to sink into the GT Lite Pro and not cause pressure points at your back and legs. I've got some accessories and haptics attached to my rig and they all work perfectly with the GT Lite Pro: Razer Freya seat pad Simagic Haptic Pedal Reactor (brake pedal) Simagic HPR Neo (one each on clutch and throttle) Aliexpress handbrake Thrustmaster TH8A shifter The HPRs on my pedals do add to the height of the pedal assembly and thus keep the GT Lite Pro from folding as flat as it could for storage. Will try to show that in photos. I don't use the shifter and handbrake often, and it's pretty easy to remove or attach the mount for these to the GT Lite Pro as needed. The placement of the handbrake ends up being pretty far from the wheel, but that's kind of expected for a frame like this. Still usable, but not ideal placement. In short, I'm really glad that I went with the GT Lite Pro instead of paying for the full racing seat frame to attach to my old WS 2.0. This setup is exactly what I needed - a full sim rig that can easily fold away to take up much less space, and does so with enough strength to handle a DD wheel and 100kg load cell brake pedal.

The cockpit is great for beginner, not too hard to setup, works with my thrustmaster driving wheel, so far i enjoy it. However the item I received was a clearly previous returned. First of all, some components are already assembled not following the instructions, screws are not bagged. Secondly, the package was shipped out of a “returns center” at Mira Loma, CA.

Works better than you think it would Considering it's a bunch of straps that hold it together it's a lot more rigid
