Few questions. What wheel bases have you tried? Is everything from Thrustmaster, Logitech, Fanatech, Moza, Simagic and Asetek easy to mount? Can you put the Next level racing wheels on it? What Next level racing accessories can you put on it without needing extra compatibility stuff? Can it take those Motion Plus Platform and Motion Platform V3 etc? Is it very heavy or not? Can one man built it or you need help? Did you built it alone? Lastly i heard that there is a GT lite that no one seems to review and many don't sell can you review it and see what is going on with it?
@@OCRacing1250$ is how much my whole sim setup costs including the pc. My point is, for the average sim racer, this is nowhere near budget or not overpriced.

1k usd is NOT overpriced? April fools was like 2 weeks ago 😂 For that price you can buy: Real car seat Some planks All tools necessary to build the entire setup… or like two
Yeah, I paid $450.00 for my Gt1 evo from Microcenter, it came with the monitor mount, and shifter mount. These profile Rigs are outrageous sometimes. Lol
For 999 I think it’s overpriced. you can build it yourself including a nice seat for around 600/700. In Europe we have a company called motedis and they offer diy rig’s starting at 350-400 (without seat but with tripple monitor mount). I would stay away from NXL, Sim-Lab, etc if you want the same quality but without the brand tax.
Everything is expensive and subjective. I just paid $7k for 90 feet of fencing in my backyard. If you can’t afford this right now, there are many lower priced alternatives from NLR. I started with the wheel stand 2.0 and an Xbox and had a lot of fun with my simcade setup, but if you want to play with the big boys, you’re going to have to shell out the cash or learn how to extrude, anodized and mill your own aluminum as well as design the rig. Some people have that kind of talent. I don’t, so I shelled out the big bucks for my dream rig that I’ll acquire a little at a time. Let me tell you what’s really expensive, slot cars and R/C racing.
As far as I can tell, structurally it's the same as the F-GT Elite, just with thicker aluminum profiles. From my experience with F-GT Elite, the pedal deck coupling with the slanted pillars limits the adjustability a lot in seating position, if you are too short or too tall, you'll have to end up somewhere in the hybrid range and won't be able to switch seating positions. That said, it's still a very good, strong, and nice-looking rig, highly recommended, the F-GT Elite 160 edition should only be better. I'd have bought this instead if they had released it a few months earlier, the price is only $200 more. (If you buy directly from their own website, the price is actually the same as the non-160 edition, which is wild.)
I’ve got this sim racing cockpit, but mine is the Ferrari Scuderia edition. Absolutely love it. It makes it better that I got it brand new, in box for $340.
Bought my 16040 rig without a seat for 660€ including taxes, and then it was about 70€ for the shipping, so a bit cheaper. But it’s not black and the pedal plate adjustment is even slower, so that could explain some of the difference in price. And it’s in Europe and not North America.
I’m reviewing this thing, here’s my discount code. All I needed to hear to know your words are sus. Plus $1000 for $300 max of 320 aluminum rails. You could have the aluminum cut to length, buy a tap and dye kit, and some bolts, and still not have $400 in it. I built mine for $300 but already have the tools. A company more than doubling its profit on something so easy to manufacture is a bit of a scam.
i take care of someone 100%and do it out of the kindest of my heart its my best friend i dont make money as for me that is super exspensive trying to by a seat alone would take me 6 months to save for.i have a moza 5.5 with a desk mount
The problem with this cockpit is that they didn't find a way for it to change easily positions. In the end this is not a cockpit for a person that likes changing to Formula and GT positions because i don't care how devoted you are is just too much of a hassle to change positions. This is more for a person that is not sure what position he wants and this cockpit will be more probable to give him one that he will be fine with or at best a person that like playing a certain Formula racing for a certain time and then another for another certain time which means they change position only once every few months. Other than that the seat seems cool and well priced(don't know how long lasting it is before it starts tearing etc) and the mounting plate for wheels bases is probably from the best in terms of compatibility with lots of wheel bases if what most reviewers said is true.
@@OCRacing Well it’s not even fully finished as of yet due to life liking to get in the way (all that is missing is the shifter) But from what I can tell so far it’s perfect, seat is comfortable. And the cockpit gives me no worries about rigidity
seriously 40x120 alus on base and over all 40x80 built is just overkill for such a small rig. Fair and square you can build entire rig like that on 40x40 and 40x80 for wheel base and pedal plate replacement and hold it on under 400usd without seat ... get yourself BMW e40 seat with slider for 80usd now you have your low price rig for under 500usd -.-''
Hello, I'm trying to figure out if I can mount the 3RS3 to my 6-Sigma 6s-slim cockpit chassis. Could you tell me the dimensions of the slider mechanism on chair? Thanks in Advance!!
I bought another one of Next Level Racing's cockpit, the GT Lite. It came rusted, was a pain to assemble. Honestly the experience was so bad for something so expensive I cannot ever recommend NLR's products. I hope others have good experience with theirs
This is not good value at all. People need to realize that 4080 profile is all that’s necessary. These 40160 and 40120 rigs are overbuilt af. I run a 23nm wheelbase and 200kg load cell pedals on my 4080 rig along with a qubic motion system and have no flex at all anywhere. The weak point is never the profile. It’s the corner brackets, hardware, pedal tray or wheel deck. All of which can easily be replaced or reinforced as needed for way less than the cost of this. 4080 rigs are often $500usd or less. Compared to usually over $1000usd for one of these needlessly heavy rigs with extra unnecessary material that will just slow down a motion system unnecessarily.
@@khalidkojo6673 get whatever the best value 4080 rig in your region is. For me in Canada it was a 6S-80 from 6 sigma sim racing. I paid $450 USD with a shifter mount arm.
The Sim lab P1-X pro is better value as you get a monitor stand with it and thicker extrusions, and the ESR-3 seat looks underwhelming. I wonder how much NLR paid you for this review. My playseat evolution seat looks more comfortable and both are fake leather.
i was hopping to get a comparison to the gt elite since it is the only one available in my region is there a huge difference between them after you get the ELITE FORMULA UPGRADE KIT?
NLR makes the worst seats ever. Cheap mass produced chinese crap. I’m glad you mentioned about changing positions and the issue with monitors. Its great to go from gt and formula, but changing the monitor up and down is nothing anyone wants to constantly do
I bet you were that kid at school who was spoiled by their parents who could get you anything. You just have issues if you think that is not overpriced 😂🤡🤡
In terms of actual in-game performance, flex, and comfort, yes. In terms of looks, and ease of adjustability, no. Depends what’s most important for you. Notably one of the things I disliked most about the TRX was its massive size whereas this one is a lot more compact
wow still so expensive. Anyway (unrelated) QUESTION ive been looking at the Thrustmaster tlcm, moza SRP, fanatec csl not elite with load cell and the cammus lc100 which one would you advise me to upgrade to?
They're all good choices - the T-LCM is probably the weakest of the bunch. For me it's between the Fanatec CSL and the Cammus LC100. At the moment, I believe only the Fanatec is available as the Cammus LC100 is still on pre-order.
You might want to have a look at the Simsonn pro pedals. I run them and for the price (~220$) the quality and performance is great. Load cell pedals made mostly of steel.

Idk how a cockpit that costs 1k usd without the seat is considered "not overpriced". If thats not overpriced, I must be homeless then😂
$1250 for a 160x40 rig with interchangeable seating positions and full adjustment on the seat isn’t bad at all in my opinion at least
It is bad. Not great value at all.

"With a cheap price is actually not so bad at $999." Lmao
my thoughts
To be fair it is a really good offering for what it is
1250 for a rig only is huge, you need a reality check.
