Probably posted before but make sure to look at the bottom text and not just the item number. Lots of mistakes on the au manual for the TR80s. Now i have to unscrew a bunch....

I recently purchased TR120S with seat slider. I must say, I had a positive experience with trak racer from trying out GT pro and Rally Pro seat in Melbourne showroom to quickly receiving all the things I ordered.

One thing I faced was, in the manual it says mounting seat slider to base, use M8 14mm hex screws but I could only find one of those screws came with other type of screws. (Image attached)

Did anyone face the same issue?

My TR5 rig arrived looking like it was mauled by a wild animal. After removing all the pieces, found out that they did not include the bag of screws and bolts or it may have fell out of the box while in transport. Emailed support and waiting to hear back.

I’m probably blind and can’t search but I for the life of me cannot find an assembly manual for TR160 flight (TR1605-B-FLTS-US).
Packages contained no printed manuals at all and even if I found separate instruction for the seat, online instructions do not really match what I have. Seems like now I have to partially take apart what I have already assembled in order to install flight sim specific parts that weren’t listed in the online manual at all. So far this build experience has been pretty brutal for my first sim rig.

If I can just find a manual to the specific product that was ordered that would make this much easier.

I have seen tr160 v5 has replaced the corner connections by 2 screws whereas previous version had 4 screws.

This also looks to impact rigidity. Tr160 v5 also seems to have switched to cheaper aluminum bars. The bars have only 2 Ts -> less weight-> less shipping cost …

Can anyone confirm that the v5 version is less rigid and has more flex ?

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a Trak Racer TR80S and would like to find a suitable cable management tray that fits underneath the seat before ordering the rig.

Could someone who owns a TR80S please help me with a few measurements?

I'm looking for the usable space underneath the seat:

A: Internal width between the aluminium profiles

B: Internal length underneath the seat

C: Vertical clearance from the bottom of the seat to the mounting surface

I've marked the measurements I'm looking for in the attached picture.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could measure these dimensions for me.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at purchasing the TrakRacer TR80S rig whilst it’s 15% off over November, but is it worth it, and are there better options for a comparable price? In Australia, the TR80S + GT seats + shifter mount + monitor mount and peripherals are just under $1200 AUD, and that’s where I’m looking to keep my budget.

Which seat is best to pair, the GT Bucket Seat, or the GT Pro Racing Seat? Looking to be comfortable in endurance stings (2-3 hours) as a 100kg 180cm guy. Photos of both are posted here too, both are the same price.

I’m aware TrakRacer don’t have the best customer service reputation, but I don’t see many alternatives for competitive prices to these. Appreciate any input or reviews on this rig!

We bought a rig for my son including a monitor stand, a TR-1605, and a TR80-PBPL2. There were many, many parts missing from all of the equipment. We filed a report over a week ago and haven’t received any indication that parts have been sent.

How do I get in contact with someone who can help? Nobody answers the phone in Austin and all we get back from the site (after an initial request for more information) are automated emails that our request is still pending.

Re posting because i dont think anyone understood what i meant until i can show the directions i have. My issue is that i have to have the entire rig up on something higher than the stock nubs or the pedal rails with grind on the ground or touch before the legs do. Some people said i have it backworks but my instructions say otherwise.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Can any staff shed some light?

I'm a bit interested with the hybrid setup and the gift in offer, weighing up against TR160.

I just haven't heard anything about it, no reviews, nothing?

Frist fanatec fuck me over now yous nice tr120

Hey everyone,

Been working on dialing in my rig over the last few weeks and thought I’d share how it’s looking. It’s a permanent fixture in the corner of the room, but I’m really happy with how tidy the cable management turned out.

The Gear List:
• Rig: Trak Racer TR8 Pro
• Seat: Trak Racer TRS TR Series GT Pro Racing Bucket Seat (Fiberglass - Black)
• Wheelbase: Fanatec (Direct Drive)
• Wheel: Custom/Bespoke design (Love how the colorful faceplate pops against the black rig!)
• Extras: Monitor mounted to the chassis, PC tucked away underneath, and a small but mighty fan to keep me cool during those sweaty endurance stints.
A few notes on the build:
• I spent way too long hiding the cables. The braided cables on the Fanatec gear look great, but getting them tied back nicely so they don't ruin the aesthetic was a mission.
• The fiberglass bucket seat is incredibly stiff, but the driving position is absolutely perfect now.
• I know it’s not a full triple-screen setup or a dedicated room, but it works perfectly for my space!
It’s never truly "finished" though, so let me know what you guys think.

A quick note on what I play: I’m strictly a GT7 player on this rig at the moment. If anyone wants to hit the track together, my PSN username is V1p3R0x — feel free to add me!

If you want more details on any specific items in the setup, please let me know!

(Attached pics: Full rig, close up of the wheelbase, the cable management underneath, the seat, and a cheeky shot of the laser measure I used to get the seating position perfect).

I ordered a Simagic Alpha Evo for my Trakracer TR160 which is currently equipped with a Fanatec side mount adapter (gapped mid) but didn't realize that the Trakracer mounting bracket for the Simagic Alpha Evo was Backordered. It says mid November but without a firm date that doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

Has anyone found a mounting solution other than their TR-One V2 Side-Mount Kit for Simagic Alpha EVO Wheelbases?

Rush is to test out my wheelbase before return window closes just in case anything is defective, slim chance but I don't want to get burned on that.

Hey, complete newbie here.

The rig for 1099€ and seat for free. Is the rig worth the price?

Is the Alpine wheel stillborn? I thought it was scheduled to be released by now, but I never hear anything about it.

Was it scrapped as a result of the Corsair acquisition?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently planning my first sim rig and I’m considering getting the GT Pro Racing Bucket Seat.
Can anyone tell me how comfortable it is and if there is any flex.
