EARL RS Wheel Stand

Saw a photo of this this morning. It looks nice

Anybody have any experience with it?

Looks interesting and quite simple while maintaining adjustibility. The only concern I might have would be the lateral stability. The model in the first pic looks to have quite a narrow base, however, the one on the left of the pic with three (has the G27) looks to have a wider base to accomodate the pedals.

Actually that one has a different leg so it looks to be wider. You'll notice the support pole is swapped compared to the other two.

Actually I think the pedal plates are all identical. If you look closely, the pedal base of the G27 pedals is actually wider than the pedal plate. The pedals on top make the pedal plate look wider than it really is.

Well they are definitely different in one way. Look at the unit on the left, look at its support bar. Its swapped from the two on the right. Totally different. It may indeed be wider.

Yes, the leg is different but when looking at the actual pedal plates only, they all appear to be the same.

According to their website, the bases are in fact all 12" wide. I don't know that 12" would provide the stability necessary.

I wonder about that too, the Fanatec RWS I used to have was about 14" wide, and at the time I wished it had a wider footprint.

My Wheelstand Pro is 16 inches wide and this product is 12 inches wide so I agree with others that stability might be an issue.

Also, what stops it sliding? My wheelstand has rubber feet made of a special compound to stop it sliding on wood or laminate floors.

When I was looking to buy a wheel stand I did some research on this EARL stand. It is made out of wood. Might have to take that into consideration.
