Next Level Racing GT Lite Long Term Review | Can it Handle 16NM?

The Next Level Racing GT Lite is rated for 10 Nm of torque... so naturally, I mounted a massive 16 Nm Moza R16 and CRP2 Load Cell pedals to it for 6 months to see if it would snap and flex. Here is the honest truth about how this foldable rig handles high-end gear long-term, and the exact DIY ratchet-strap mods I used to survive the abuse. In this long-term review, I break down everything from the portability and ease of setup to how I modded the rig to handle high-end gear. If you're deciding between a wheel stand and a full aluminium profile rig, this video is for you. Rig Specs in this Video: Torque Limit (Official): 10Nm Torque Tested (This Video): 16Nm (Moza R16) Force Rating: Hubs rated for 150kg Max User Weight: 130kg / 287lbs GT Footprint: 166 x 79cm Technical Disclaimer: The Next Level Racing GT Lite is officially rated for 10Nm of torque. Running a 16Nm wheelbase like the Moza R16 is considered "off-label" use. I am using custom ratchet straps and a reinforced wooden post to manage the extra stress on the frame. Replicating this is at your own risk.
