Regular Xlerator Wheel Stand Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

The Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel for the PS3 works wonderfully with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue but you’ve got to find a way to anchor it if you really want to enjoy your racing. I had mine clamped to a B&D Workmate to get me by for awhile. I then looked at the expensive racing seat setups but didn’t want to spend that kind of money and didn’t want to have the seat sitting in my living room. Finally I saw the Xlerator wheel stand and thought it would fit the bill. I was not disappointed. I’m amazed how comfortable it is to sit on my couch and drive. The wheel is completely stable and the pedals are at a comfortable angle (adjustable for 3 slightly different heights/angles). Depending on how you place the stand on the chair/couch, you can control the distance of the reach to the wheel, as well as by 3 length adjustments on the arm of the stand. It’s a simple design that does exactly what you want it to do, it is built well and should last longer than my PS3, it stores in a corner with little effort and its price is very reasonable. The people who designed and built this stand are to be commended. It’s a perfect example of form following function. Unless you absolutely need to sit in a racing seat for the sake of role playing, get this stand. You will not be disappointed.

Regular Xlerator Wheel Stand W/G25-G27 Adapter Kit Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

I purchased a Logitech G27 racing wheel, and love it…..but I soon discovered, as alot of people do, that it is difficult to find a suitable place to mount the wheel. I tried the coffee table (sore back!), the folding card table, and I even went and bought a small computer table to try. None of these were an acceptable solution, for different reasons. I did a search for driving stands, and this one came up, so I decided to give it a shot.

Excellent choice! The stand is perfect for using with the G25/G27, it comes equipped with the proper pedal and gearshift mounts, so you can mount everything securely. It is well constructed, and comes with very good instructions, and a website address for further fine tuning and setup details.

Setup and assembly are pretty easy, very minimal tools needed, I think I needed a 10mm wrench, but nothing too difficult for the average handy person with a few tools. I was very pleased to find that the pedal plate came pre-drilled for the pedal mounting holes, just use a couple of 6MM screws, which are provided for you.

About the only issue I have is that when it is used on a soft sofa or chair, the legs that go over your lap kinda “sink in” to the soft sofa material. The website has some suggestions, a 1/2 PVC pipe can be cut down to fit in the tubes, raising it slightly. I just used a couple of old books on each leg, to keep it from sinking into the soft sofa cushion too much. Works great like that.

If you are using your G25/G27 in some awkward position, like I was, you owe it to yourself to give this a try….it makes the driving experience on GT5 alot more fun than a controller, or an awkwardly placed wheel setup, this unit makes driving games much more comfortable and realistic!

A bit pricey, but well worth it. The other huge plus is that the wheel, gearshifter, and pedals all stay attached, so storing it is a breeze…it hinges at the pedal area so it takes up very little room when upright. Setup is just as easy. To start playing, just bring the stand over to the sofa/chair, plug in the power, and the USB to the PS3, and set the stand in the correct position, and you’re set!
