Frequently asked questions

Which wheelbases is the Next Level Racing RC Essential compatible with?

The RC Essential supports direct drive wheelbases up to 13 Nm, as well as entry-level and mid-range wheelbases. Its reinforced chassis is designed to stay rigid even under high force feedback torque.

Is it compatible with PlayStation and Xbox as well as PC?

Yes. As a cockpit (chassis), it is compatible with any platform; console compatibility depends on the wheelbase and pedals you install, not on the cockpit itself.

Can the seat and pedals be adjusted?

Yes. The pedal plate adjusts for angle and fore/aft travel to tailor the driving position to each driver. The premium GT seat uses SIMAERO mesh, synthetic suede and cold-moulded foam.

What does the official FIA licence mean?

It means the cockpit was developed as an officially FIA-licensed product, designed to the recognised standards of motorsport simulation equipment.

Does the cockpit include a wheelbase and pedals?

The RC Essential is the cockpit structure. The wheelbase, wheel and pedals mount onto it and are purchased separately, so you can build your setup exactly the way you want.
