G27 - Wheel Stand Pro v2 or PlaySeat Challenge

[abouzainah]

Hi,

Am going insane by reading all comments and reviews about both the Wheel Stand Pro v2 and PlaySeat Challenge.

My options are limited as i need to ship it to Asia so cost is kinda high:

Wheel Stand Pro v2 : $180
PlaySeat Challenge : $250

Can anyone please recommend one over the other and why

Am new to sim racing and will be using G27 as starter to see if am into sim racing or not.

Thanks everyone.

The Playseat Challenge looks like cheap & nasty rubbish to me. Whereas the Wheel Stand Pro is a solid & well engineered piece of kit. I have owned a WSP before, & it was very solid & up to the job. However, it wasn't as good as having a full cockpit set up like my Playseat Evolution. Have you considered any other set ups?

I'm a Wheelstand Pro V2 owner. The quality is high, it's strong and fairly stable too.
I use mine on a carpet and it barely moves at all unless I'm doing something rather silly.

The centre post is a little annoying at first, but I soon learnt to live with it.

It folds neatly, I fold mine and hang it inside a cupboard out of the way when not in use.

Easy to assemble, I watched a YouTube video showing how to mount the wheel before I purchased the stand and it was straightforward.

Cable management isn't great, there were a few cable ties provided but not enough to make a neat job. Luckily I have plenty.

I've recommended the WSP to others and its a good product. Unfortunately I haven't used a Playseat Challenge so I can't comment on that one.
