Pros:-easy to setup-came with everything needed and additional hardware-seat, chassis, floor mat all included--this also included a shifter mount-seat is relatively comfortableCons:-rig flex (pedal / wheel stand)-adjustability (pedal / wheel stand)-wheel mounting plateCon Details:-Rig Flex:-The pedals have more than normal flex when pressing the pedals. This is due to the thinner metal pedal plate and it only being attached by two bolts for the diagonal adjustment. This doesn't make the rig unusable, but does break part of the immersion factor. Entry level / less picky individuals may not notice this. When racing this is not an "issue".-The wheel stand on the other hand initially had an acceptable amount of up, down, left, right flex/wobble. However, after ~4 hours of use the wobble nearly doubled in up/down movement and nearly quadrupled in right/left. This became a series issue causing there to be 4+ inches of play in each direction. Moving the wheel slowly you do not feel the wobble, but any driving involving quick or rapid wheel movement, such as aggressive circuit driving, drifting or even counter steering, will be greatly impacted / very difficult to do with the wheel moving around. (Note: This flex is caused by how the base connects to the center pole and poor welding / reinforcement on the wheel stand floor stand. This is all 'fixable' with purchasing additional oval tubing, weld nuts and plastic capped bolts and re-fabricating the wheel stand. Your result may very per your metal fabrication skills.)-Adjustability:-Due to the design of this rig (and all other rigs with a centrally connected wheel stand) there is an inability to bring the pedals close and have the wheel farther away due to the mounting brackets interfering. Additionally, the wheel stand adjustability is only forward, backwards and up/down, but at a diagnol movement, making the wheel closer and higher or farther away and lower. This isn't a major concern as I was able to adjust the wheel stand and pedals to ~85% of my relative liking. (The wheel is still too close). The chair has minimal adjustability, but this can simply be resolved by placing a pillow in the seat or purchasing an adjustable seat slide.-Wheel Mounting Plate:-The wheel mounting plate holes do not appear to 'properly line up'. I was able to mount my wheel, but the wheel base (servo) is not flush with the plate, it sticks out ~1 inch. This isn't an issue, but is a con because a simple slot vs a hole would have resolved this.Final Thoughts:The wheel stand is acceptable for ~$225 USD. If your willing and able to do some metal fabrication of your own (buying extra tubing, cutting it, welding, getting extra weld nuts, plastic headed bolts and 'upgrading' the rig by reinforcing it) this will be a relatively solid rig. The only thing you can't appear to reinforce easily is the pedal plate, but like I said, it's not a major issue. (Note: if you don't put the rig on casters/wheels, and you plan on moving it alot (especially on tile or hardwood flooring) I recommend putting the rig on the included mat where the soft side of the mat is facing the floor and the plastic side is facing upward. This allows the rig to slide around and not leaving plastic 'scratch' marks in the floor))What I used on this rig:-Servo: Thrustmaster TX-Wheel: Nardi clone (380mm with servo adapter)-Pedals: Thrustmaster T-LCM-Shifter: N/A (do not own)-Handbrake: N/A (do not own)
