Hello to all the readers of Xtremehardware.com, today we will review a particular product, dedicated to those who have passion for driving simulations both for PC and for console. We are talking about the stand for wheels and pedals called Wheel Stand Pro. This particular stand is compatible with all Thrustmaster series T and with the Logitech G27 and Fanatec wheels; alternatively, TH8A gear shifter and T3PA pedal can be used without problems as in our test. This stand, completely made of metal, doesn’t occupy much space thanks to the possibility to be bent and this thing will satisfy those who have problems with complete cockpit because of the limited space. Let’s have a look to the Wheel Stand Pro and to the results of our test. We will also see its functions in a video so we suggest you to follow the whole review. Here the Italian Review [Italian Version].

Test

In this page we will divide our impressions about this stand starting from those concerning its constructive quality and then you will find the video of our test of the Wheel Stand Pro using Assetto Corsa on the Mugello circuit with an Alfa Romeo 155 GTI. The stand is very well-made, especially for the use of resistant and sturdy materials and for the attentions to details,  such as the fixing mechanisms of the various parts. The rubber feet do a very good job, it will be impossible to make the stand slide back and forth while we are playing. The two central tubes are very sturdy and they easily support our pedals and they also prevent any kind of movement of the pedals with the four rubber feet, which can be positioned everywhere on the tubes. The central rod, which can be extended up to 40cm, make this stand adaptable to any driving and sitting position; its possibility to be bent toward the pedals, make us save much space when unused. The plate where the wheel and the rod for the gear are placed is very resistant even if it’s not so thick; it’s also possible to change the angulation of 360°. The rod of the gear shifter is rectangular and internally hollow, in order to make it more light but also resistant: even if we are using it in a very impetuous way, it won’t move. We can’t avoid talking about the easiness to assemble the stand. Indeed, we will be able to assemble it in few minutes, just following the instructions and some tutorials on the YouTube Wheel Stand Pro channel.

And now, we leave you to our video test of the stand using the T300 and its accessories; the wheel was set with 100% FFB.
