@@fondoo I've ran into the same trap. Bought a Sparco Pro 2000, and because of my large frame, i can barely squeeze myself into it and the shoulder supports are killing me as well. It could work when you are in a real car experiencing all kind of forces, but when you are stationary, you have to maximise comfort. Lesson learned.
New with alu profile cockpit here, so do you buy the seat brackets with the seat or with the cockpit then buy the 3rd party seat (looking at Tr120 rig with ES1 seat)? Or it doesnt matter as any can be adjusted? Cheers
Bro. Your seating position is very wrong. You never drive with hands so straight! You need to have a least a 35-45deg bend in your elbows. I have no idea how your neck, shoulders and back isn't destroyed by that TBH :) Check the videos online about it. That's also why you have problems sitting in that glorious Sparco you had.
@@fondoo ouch! Hope it's curable to some extent. Didn't mean no harm or so, sorry :) Unsure how to mitigate that, but maybe some compression clothing/sleeves on your elbows may help with pain while allowing you to seat closer? Just an idea, but I guess you know much more about this problem than I do :D Thanks for the video tho. Helped me to decide whether I should buy this one or some real racing seat.
Nice video! You still enjoying after a bit of use? I'm thinking of getting this as I'm a bigger guy and this seems to be a bit wider than most racing seats I can find.
I've been using the ES1 for about 2.5 weeks now and I do enjoy it very much. It does not pinch my triceps anymore so I'm happy. I'm 5'-10 @ 175 lbs and its very comfortable for me. I wish the seat pads was a little softer. Its good for 2-3hr game play. If longer, I would get a more padded seat.
Have you found a solution for longer sessions? Does it get hot and sweaty along the bottom and back? Or do those channels next to the pads help with air flow? It looks like your arms are nearly straight from the side angle shot, have you remained with this position or moved the wheel closer? If closer does the tricep bump into the seat, seems like there could be clearance issues? Thanks for posting. Really want a new seat and looking to make the right choice.
I really loved my Sparco C2QRT but its pinching a nerve on my right tricep from the shoulder bolster and its starting to become painful. I wanted to those awesome Luso Motor seats, but its double the price of of the NLR ES1 and there's a 3 month wait. I picked up NLR ES1 from Microcenter that had three in stock. Comfortable enough for a 2hrs racing session. I do recommend these seats if your can't find any decent bucket seats in fb marketplace
@@fondoo it is not the seat, it is your seating positoning, you sit completely wrong in your sim, no wonder that you have pain. there are tons of videos around how to setup position, seat, wheelbase and pedals. are you still happy with the ES?
Your arms should not be stretched out like that when racing dude, your wrist should be touching the top of the wheel when stretched out
Kudos for the Martin Logans speakers :)
Without you saying a word, I perfectly understood the problem at hand and the solution. Hope the change worked in the long run!
thank you! I am very happy with the new ES1 seat. recommend it!

can please give mesurment for the 4040 seat btaket
Can you add this seat to an existing next level racing 2.0 wheel stand?
My country doesn’t sell the gt seat add on for it, but does sell this seat
Nice mate!👍
Thank you! Cheers!
How’s the seat holding up after a year? Also, when you said the seats good for 2-3 hour sessions, is it cuz the padding isn’t that much?
SOLID! the seat still looks like its brand new. I five stars recommend this seat.
@@fondoo i see, thank for the feedback!
@@fondoobut can you do a 6 hour or longer endurance?
how about 2 years later? is it comfy? can you do longer than 2h in it?
Absolutely!! Still rocking it
@@fondoo so you can stay in it for like 8h? im curious because i use my seat more than 2h a day....and can you add any cushions to it?
Can you please tell your height? I do consider this chair for myself.
i am 5' - 10"

I have low calcium bone issues and its hurts when my arms are bent. But thank you for bringing it to my attention.

How would you compare the overall quality and stuff compared to the sparco? Would you have swapped it if you didnt have the pinching problem?
the quality is there for sure for the NLR ES1 seat. i really loves the sparco seats but they cost an arm and a leg for them.
i need distantce between 2 4040 btaket inner❤
How did you mount that ButtKicker LFE to your rig?
it was a custom bracket i built.

@@fondoo it needs to be well padded

@@jamesjlopez returned mine
@@Malvin00 what did you end up going with instead? did it end up being comfortable for longer sessions than the ES1? cooler, warmer or same?
how is the seat after long period of time now?
Thank god for soft padding. I can sit for hours
Does the seat come with the purchase or do you have to buy it separately?
its a separate purchase. mines was purchased from microcenter locally
Hey why did you get rid of the sparco seat ? Do you not like it ?

like i said, its the shoulder bolsters. I have no pinching pain in the ES1. the ES1 get a number 1 in my book.
@@fondoo okay, drive on in this uncomfy position. 😁
Whats the name of your cockpit setup?

where is seat belt?
dont need it. i like living on the edge!! :)
@@fondoo Is this suitable for player with tail pain? gt chairs look have thicker cushions.
@85mrken you can always add a small pillow or foam pad if you need some extra support
Over 7 minutes and don't even have the plastic wrapping off 😴. Could of atleast talked to make it less painful.
subscribe now for more painful videos :)
hahaha@@fondoo
Is it comfy to sit in
Yes!!
Just purchased in blue along with the gt elite ford edition and actuators can’t wait!
@@CaliCuh Congrats! It's a very good seat. Recommend it!
You are WAY out of position in your seating. Your elbows should bend to a 90 degree when holding the wheel, not be straight.
i dont drive with my arms straight out! its just positioning how far the wheel should be
Cat got your tongue?
yes, sur!!!
Is that lower left side keyboard holder 3d printed?
yes, you can get them on etsy
