I must say. This is a fantastic thing to have to take your sim racing to the next level without spending an astronomical amount of money. Easy to set up and put away. The one thing I’ve done to make it even quicker to set up is put white marker on the hubs to I can put it into my optimal position quicker with no guess work.
Brilliant! Great to hear you're loving your Cockpit. Very smart with the white marker!
I agree, considering the positions are usually the same for everyone too, if all the default configurations were marked - that would be epic
That's a good idea I shall remember that.👍
nice thing, bought one and I must say it's good to put it together, the only problem was the first step to put the bar in the angles, the plastic is a little bit to tight for it but the rest was easy and i finished it in about 20min with steering wheel and pedals :)
Awesome to hear!
Thing is super cool to mess around with only had mine for a few hours but I will say it is a PAIN IN THE ASS to adjust anything by yourself it goes limp all over the place if you aren’t careful. If you are setting this up with 2 people it’s a piece of cake
Thank you for the feedback!
The thing that I discovered if you overtighten it stops the locking claps from pressing down , they become too tight, you have too loosen them a little then the clamps will come down.
0:30 kinda lame that you guys put in a cut here that omitted some steps.
the demonstrator did a set of things that had to include loosening the 2 front hubs. before the cut they are tightened and then after they are loosened. not sure what else was left out.
Hey folks! Great product, I love mine! Any ETA on that adapter plate for handbrake + shifter?
Glad to hear you are loving your cockpit! There is no ETA as of yet, the design team are currently working hard to engineer something that will work across all products. As soon as we have an ETA, it will be made public. Thanks!
Id like to point out that some pedals wont fit as snug as the video suggests. I have a Logitech G29 and the pedals, at its current length, hits the edge of the chair not allowing it to completely close in. One fix would be to adjust the distance of the pedal position but that is too many steps to get it setup and packed away.
Hi there! Could you please send a picture of what you are describing to support@nextlevelracing.com and we can look at getting a resolution for you for this. We have a lot of customers who use the Logitech G29 and pedals who haven't had an issue, so we will get this worked out for you!
@@NextLevelRacing I second this. Just bought this rig and the pedals will hit the bar. Might return it cuz of this
Thanks for your feedback! I will pass it along to our Design and Engineering Team to look at further! Appreciate it.
For anyone wondering how to easily set it up again. Make a mark on the dials with a chalk marker or silver sharpie in your favorite position. This way you don’t have to readjust every time you use it.
Great advice!
That last part doesn't work with g29 pedals. You should say in your product page that folding is possible with certain equipment. There is nothing wrong with the product itself but folding is pain in the a$$ with Logitech G29. Folding with the equipment was main reason to buy your product but now it doesn't work the way it should. Pedals aren't high enough not to touch the next folding part. Only way to fold it even a decent way is to remove the pedals from the hard mount. That's not going to happen.
I wonder which pedals are compatible for folding. Thrustmasters? What about Fanatec csl lc elite? My next step is to change wheelset. I'd hope Fanatec is compatible this other way nice piece of equipment.
Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback. If you can send some photos and video to our support team, we will be more than support you further to ensure the product is being optimized the best way possible. We ensure that we test our products with as many as different electronics as possible to support our community. Our email is support@nextlevelracing.com. We look forward to supporting you further.
I have the f-gt lite with g29, wheels, pedals and shifter and can fold everything perfectly no problem, same as in this vid
dude i tried this and it took me like 2 hours and i couldnt get it right haha might just need to practice however i am using heavier gear on this.
If you have any issues assembling the F-GT Lite cockpit, please reach out to our support team for assistance at support@nextlevelracing.com
Mmm. If mine ever arrives I'll be interested to try this. Ordered April for a delivery date of mid May. Then I get an e-mail saying it's been pushed out to mid June. OK, fine, these things happen. Then I DON'T get an e-mail telling me that it's been pushed out to late June. I only find that out when I try to log in to the distributor's site to check on the order progress only to find that my account has vapourised because, I'm told, someone has been doing a web site update for them and didn't think that maintaining continuity of customer accounts was, oh, how shall we put it? Mission critical? Because nothing says "professional" like a web site designer who can blow up all of the customer accounts but hey, might get around to transferring them to the new site some day. (Today is not that day.) Now that we're heading into late June I'm just waiting to see whether it does perhaps actually show up some day.
Damm That really is unfortunate. I hope you get it ASAP!
@@misterkuki2943 Thanks for that. I don't know why NLR are doing a video on something which is still - apparently - somewhere in the back channels. I suppose that the video may have been scheduled while the supposed delivery date was still 15 June, one month after the original pre-order date. (I seriously doubt that I'm the only one in this boat.) I didn't really have a problem with the first delay because at least the distributor got out in front of it and notified me of the delay on 1 May. That's smart customer management. The fact that they DIDN'T bother getting in touch to notify me of the second delay (and that with the "upgrade" of their website and the deletion of my customer account I have no way of looking it up)... well, in my view that is really BAD customer management. This was only ever supposed to be a "stepping stone" rig; something to help me decide whether to go the whole hog or not. If I do... this experience has made me a tad reluctant to consider NLR or their local distributor for that. If the thing turns up in the next week, then...OK, I'll let it slide. If it DOESN'T... well, that's a different story.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We do apologize for the delays. There has been an increase demand of F-GT Lite. We have increased production to ensure that we are getting the appropriate stock to all resellers. Our Regional Teams are working closely with resellers to ensure that they are able to fulfill their customer's order. We do apologize for the delays and thank you for your patience. If you have any further questions, please email us at support@nextlevelracing.com.
You get yours yet?
Ordered mine off a website and received it the next day. Cracking bit of kit I must say!
it does indeed sound wise not to fold the seat while someone's in there, unless they're paper thin
Can you have a shifter and hand brake setup on this?
Hi there,
Great question! The plate allows only the shifter or the Handbrake to be attached at one time. Our Design Team is working on creating an add-on that allows both shifter and handbrake to be attached at the same time. Stay tuned
@@NextLevelRacing thanks for getting back to me. I meant to ask for the new gt lite but I am happy you guys are working on it.
how much time does it take?
Hi there, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to store the cockpit. It is an easy, simple fold procedure.
@@NextLevelRacing how about unfold with all the gear?
What the approximate size when it’s folded up like that? My wife won’t let me have that in plain view. So, I’ll need to build like a chest, drawer, locker, etc.to put that in. And I’d like to know the dimensions before it gets here.
Hi there! Here are the folded dimensions for the F-GT Lite... Folded: 75 X 40 X 87cm, 29.5 X 15.7 X 34 inches)
Please keep in mind that it is dependant on the size of the electronics as well! As this can change the overall dimensions when mounted and folded. If you need any further assistance, please let us know!
@@NextLevelRacing thank you very much!
I did great until the pedals. I can't figure it out. They don't clear the seat 😪
Hi there! If you need a hand with the assembly, please reach out to us via support@nextlevelracing.com
We are happy to help!
don't know if you're still looking for a solution, but what i do is i bring them to their lowest height and then use the carrying strap to wrap around one of the joints to hold it to the body
For some reason i struggle with this
Hi there! If you need a hand with your setup or folding, please reach out to us at support@nextlevelracing.com we are more than happy to help you out!
This is more than a bit disingenuous.
Isn't it interesting that all the packing and adjustment videos are shot with the chair sitting on a large table, waist or higher working height, with _many_ feet of space around all 4 sides? And the user is gingerly strolling around all 4 sides to reach all the angles to fold it so easily?.
I'd like to see this shot with the chair on the ground. In a small space. Kinda like how it would be in my, or any, small apartment. You know - where I *need* a folding rig because if I had 5 feet of space to spare all around it like in this video I'd just get an 80/20 rig and probably wouldn't really need a compact "folding" unit...
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We will make sure it is passed on to our Digital Team to note for future videos. If you are looking at independent reviews done on the F-GT Lite's folding feature, there are several reviews available on RUclips.
@@NextLevelRacing You're welcomed, I hope you heed those words.
Frankly, there are quite a few "missed opportunities" on this rig and I've already sold mine off because of them. Fairly disappointing because it could really be great. I believe a good number of the improvements could be made for little or no additional manufacturing costs, but for these "misses" the F-GT Lite fulfills maybe 65-70% of it's potential.
Disappointment truly is the most appropriate word I can think of.
@@JoelAz909 I agree to a degree, it's a whole different ballgame when you've got a whole bunch kit attached, all cabled up and it sat on the floor, collapsing left, right and centre while you scrabble on the floor trying to stop you expensive hitting the deck!
@@MykelC Doesn't that just add to the fun?
I dont like the way this folds so I'm sticking with the ps challenge so easy to get out and put away in comparison
Dopo 6 ore sono riuscito a montarlo, pezzi che non entrano, ho dovuto usare un martello, pochissimo spazzio per stringere le viti, plastica scadente che da l implressione di doversi rompere da un momento al altro

Oh so no person inside it when folding....uhhhh whoops...
Uh oh, is it too late?
