The ULTIMATE Sim Racing Cockpit Buyer's Guide - ruclips.net/video/o5STqtXdSkk/видео.html Full review of the Playseat Challenge X foldable racing chair - let me know what you're racing with?
Challenge X. Excellent video, no nonsense, to the point. Also, most users will be looking at the G923 + Challenge X setup, so it was great that you used it as an example.
To add on, it can actually adjust the wheel mount toward/backward -not only by tilting, you can unscrew the wheel mount, and there are two rows of unused screw holes which you can screw the plate in more toward/backward.
Thanks for that. I find that the seating position are too leaned back, and if I put the seat in position 2 -3 I am super close to the wheel. I will try to move the steering plate back
@@aidansedore5182 I don’t even know how to adjust that. I run on the standard one that comes with GT 7 and it feels light. In assetto corsa you can feel more resistance.
Hey Geek Street! I am planning on purchasing one and I was wondering what the height diference is when folded compared to unfolded. I hope you can help!
I just wish Logitech just made a playseat challenge for a direct drive wheel.. I currently use a the original playseat challenge with all the stability mods and it works very well. All logitech has to do is create a playseat with all the mods pre attached and make the thing that holds the plate to wheel out of metal... that make it perfect
Challenge X I’ve purchased a PS5, GT7, Logitech wheel & pedals, and Logitech shifter. The last item was either a gaming chair or a sim racing seat. Thanks for the review.
I am looking to buy this racing chair, but I have very limited space. I was trying to find dimensions of it when folded, but can't find this information anywhere. Would be able to tell me please?
Is this seat better for the Logitech G pro steering wheel than the GT Lite (playstation edition) ? I'm currently not very happy with the seat position adjustment and the foldability ?
CHALLENGE X Nice video, really down to detail. I'm about to get mine and use Logitech pedals with a loadcell on the brake. Do you think that will the pedals frame perform well with it? I'm more afraid to break the frame or have problems with the plastics that holds them in place... Thanks for your content, keep doing this way.
I like how compact this is but for me I'd say the GT Lite Pro is better as you can easily use other wheels on it but it doesn't fold away as good as this.
I´m really desperate trying to know if thrustmaster t248/t3pm and T8HS can be assembled in Playseat Challenge X logithecch. Can I have an answer? Really appreciate an answer.
Thanks for the video! I wonder how it compares to the GT Lite Pro. I'm looking for the best foldable cockpit supporting a Logitech Pro Wheel. But based on your review, looks like the GT Lite Pro is still the best one to go.
I have a gt lite pro having previously owning the gt lite and the pro does feel a little sturdier with the extra straps creating a push pull system to create a little more strength. The most amazing part is the extra comfort though it really is a fantastic folding rig. Still I am now selling it as I have now moved to playseat trophy. It was hard to make the decision though.
I have the original playseat challenge version. It's box is much bigger but it's almost fully assembled compared to this. I will advise that if you're a big guy this seat will be tight. Also if you have a direct drive wheel like the fanatec then the steering wheel might be closer than you would like. But I love how portable the whole thing is. I say the platform is great if you have a lighter wheel like the thrust master or logitech and can remain attached while folding it up. But if you have a heavier base you probably have to remove it when folding the seat because it is too heavy to grip the platform. The holes on the platform dont align with the fanatec base.
@@omCi you probably can but the seat will be very reclined. your head will also go over the top of the seat so if you drive with your head in the air, no prob. but if you drive with your head against the headrest, it won't be ideal.
Thank you for replying. This is my first attempt into sim racing. Last week I got a ps5 Logitech wheel and pedals and a wheel stand. Love the wheel but setup with stand and computer chair or couch is not comfortable so I’m looking for something better. I do think that having a wheel over a controller is a night and day difference. It needs to be portable and storable. I looked into next level racing gt light which is bigger but it takes longer time to store and put away. If you have any suggestions for anything else I can look at I’m all ears.
@@omCi I will think you'll really like it. It's a good budget seat. But you will be storing it vertically if you leave the wheel attached. That's the way I do it. I just put it in the corner.
@@onlysublime Thank you. Multiple people said that even this budget option is way better then just wheel stands or desk and computer chair. Vertical storage will work. I'll go get this one. Fingers crossed it works out. Thanks for your help.
I bought it and I'm waiting for it to be delivered to me. I wanted to know if it is fully compatible with fanatec's csl dd. I see that you have tried the fanatec, but I wanted to know how many screws you used to connect it to the base? Just one? Was it stable
For now I have only tried the g923 and of course it is very stable, even without screwing on the plate. Later on I think I'll get the Logitech G pro, which should be compatible with the holes on the plate. The csl dd requires inverted plate and support brackets (the ones found for the previous version of the ch should be fine)
Did you try to flip the bsse plate (back become front), so you can use your CSL DD with 2 screws attached? I have the Actifit Challenge and did that. Let me know if that is possible with this new one
@@blackened1231 Are you sure? Are you using it that way on 3 points? So I can try also. For now, I have it on 2 points. Thanks in advance for your reply
Thank you for the review! In term of flex, is it improved over the original Playseat challenge? Also wondering how is it with Logitech Pro wheel? The screw should fit better than the Fanatec CSL DD.
Hi can you tell me what tv unit you have please. I've got this wheel and seat looking to lower my wall tv now so need a lower tv unit can you tell me what one you have?
I used the closest hole at the front, but someone in the comments suggested removing the plate and turning it around so the back faced the front, I've not had time to test that yet.
@@GeekStreet the wheel base has 2 screw holes that are 134mm apart and 61mm back from the over hang lip. The pedals also have 2 holes that are 235mm apart and 141mm away from the back of the pedal base. I've taken these measurements from the center of the screw holes. Could you please check if these would fit? I would love to get this rig but can't find anywhere if my wheel and pedals are compatible.
@@alexpaps23 on the wheel mount theres the following holes starting from the closest location 3 holes - 0 - 5 - 10cm 2 holes - 0 - 13.5 2 holes - 0 - 17cm 2 holes - 0 - 6.8cm On the Pedal plate you have 20.3cm width 17.5cm length I've measured from the middle of the hole if that makes sense. Hope that helps.
hi Greek street. I have recently got to know your channel and I have just subscribed you. I was watching your video the best mods for g920 . So I went to the website but sadly I like in Saudi Arabia and they don't deliver the telemetry and F1 mod her. So what should I do?
Ich habe den Gaming Rennsitz ARB-F1 Der ist perfekt wenn nur der Preis nicht wäre.😂 Er war glaube ich ursprünglich für die Simulation von Testfahrzeuge gebaut worden. Man merkt auch dies ist kein Spielzeug.
How does this compare to the NRL equivalents such as the FGT Lite and the GT Lite Pro? I am looking for a foldable cockpit and would like to know which is best. Thanks!
It's much more compact than the NLR frames but it seem only limited for the budget Logitech wheels so because of this I'd say the NLR frame is better but if you never plan to go beyond the budget Logitech wheel then I'd say this best as its so compact.
@GeekStreet Okay, thanks very much! I do plan on eventually getting a DD wheel, so I think I will go for the NLR ones. Do you think the FGT Lite or GT Lite Pro will be better for DD wheels in the 5-10 NM range?
I have g920, does it require promotion, g923, and is there a difference in g923, or is there a big difference depending on your experience for the producers?
Not sim racing seat but a pool transat ! You will break your back with his !!! Health is more lot important than money, don’t break your back just for win few $$$

Hey Geek Street! I am planning on purchasing one and I was wondering what the height diference is when folded compared to unfolded. I hope you can help!
So if one were planning to eventually upgrade to a DD pro, the older playseat challenge is better?

All logitech has to do is create a playseat with all the mods pre attached and make the thing that holds the plate to wheel out of metal... that make it perfect
I agree, the market for racing wheels has changed alot they should have factored that in.
There is already a standard playseat challenge that allows for installation of the Fanatec DD wheel bases. I have one.
great in-depth review, has anyone used this for flight sim?
have the older model unfortunately had to upgrade to alum profile does not work well with more powerful pedals/wheels.
how does it compare to the regular Playseat Challenge?
Is there any way to install the power pack under the pedals or as a part of the rig so you don't have to have it hanging out separately all the time?

I’ve purchased a PS5, GT7, Logitech wheel & pedals, and Logitech shifter. The last item was either a gaming chair or a sim racing seat. Thanks for the review.
i highly recommend to buy a vr too it is next level immerse
I ended up purchasing the GT Omega Apex Wheel Stand, Apex Rear Seat Frame, and RS9 Simulator Seat
I am looking to buy this racing chair, but I have very limited space. I was trying to find dimensions of it when folded, but can't find this information anywhere. Would be able to tell me please?
Is this seat better for the Logitech G pro steering wheel than the GT Lite (playstation edition) ? I'm currently not very happy with the seat position adjustment and the foldability ?
A beach chair for $300 is absolutely insane.
Good for the beach too 😅
This is good for me who lives in Japan and have tiny apartments. Can it withstand the FF of a DD1?
I see you're left-handed.. ;)
Good review
'Challenge X'
If you're referring to the shifter placement being on the left that's because he's from the UK and that's where it would be in a UK car.
@@ruckage1 It was obviously a joke, come on

Thanks for your content, keep doing this way.
Thanks, yes actually it performs pretty well with the pro pedals.
Is this compatible with the mounting holes on the older logitech g920 wheel and pedals?
How hard would it be to mount a logitech shifter and a handbrake (clamp mount) at the same time?
Good review ! So this or the GT lite/lite pro?
Challenge x
I like how compact this is but for me I'd say the GT Lite Pro is better as you can easily use other wheels on it but it doesn't fold away as good as this.
much ok if the shifter plate can be placed either sides
does the hardware switch sides to open the wheel bar to the opposite side?

Hello, does anyone know the measurements of the folded Logitech including the steering wheel and pedals?
Why does this look like I’m going straight through this 😂 I had a tubes chair ones and I was too heavy for it and ended up on the floor 😂

Did you try to flip the bsse plate (back become front), so you can use your CSL DD with 2 screws attached? I have the Actifit Challenge and did that. Let me know if that is possible with this new one
Why just 2, when you flip the base plate you can attach one more bolt on the back side of CSL DD.
@@blackened1231 Are you sure? Are you using it that way on 3 points? So I can try also. For now, I have it on 2 points. Thanks in advance for your reply
@@giogamer4825 yes I have secured with 3 bolts. Third bolt comes on the back in the middle of base.

Thank you for the review! In term of flex, is it improved over the original Playseat challenge? Also wondering how is it with Logitech Pro wheel? The screw should fit better than the Fanatec CSL DD.
There'ss alway going to flex with a frame like this, with the PRO wheel its the same.

Can the shifter by on the right hand side?
How did you install csl dd?
If I mount the plate in the center, won't the hole be blocked?
Has the hole location changed from the previous version?
I used the closest hole at the front, but someone in the comments suggested removing the plate and turning it around so the back faced the front, I've not had time to test that yet.
