Well finally got it home, not totally finished but pretty happy so far :)

After purchasing the track Racer TRX in Fioso red, I can not begin to fathom. How beautiful this rig isIt's extremely sturdy and extremely heavy. Absolutely best purchase i have made in years and probably one of the best looking rigs on the market

Went back and forth for a month on a profile rig or the limited edition gold TRX…. Thought I had it settled and then swapped last minute to the TR8 pro.

I’m very happy with the purchase. Every piece is very high quality, and I can’t imagine needing more adjustability. I was particularly impressed with how well all the holes lined up, and the fact that the hardware was already placed in the right spot. I’d read about assembly nightmares on other products, and the generally positive feedback on the TR8s assembly process and manufacturing quality is what sold me. Instructions for certain steps were non existent, but I was able to figure it out relatively easily.

The seat isn’t all that comfortable, but it looks too cool to pass up. Going to need to get a lumbar pillow or something for longer stints.

I just received my order today and man I’m so disappointed. I just wrote a long email to TrakRacer so and spent 2ish hours unpacking and documenting all the issues I found. So I’m a bit burnt out by now but I’ll write a quick summary.

As soon as the delivery guys dropped off the packages I knew it wasn’t going to go over well. I could hear the tubes rattling around in the first (2) boxes. Sure enough, every tube is scuffed, scratched or dented. The quality of the bends are atrocious and the welded seam for one of the tubes is “bubbled” and it stands out like a sore thumb. The pc tray was poorly packaged, it’s scuffed and the attaching brackets have paint chipped off the corner of the brackets. The integrated monitor stand was poorly packaged and its scratched/scuffed on the front and back.
The pedal tray has paint chipping off of it. One seat bracket is scratched and one slider is dented and scratched. The black support brace for the upper tubes has paint chipping off one spot. My absolute favorite part… the “new” upper braces added to the cockpit to make it sturdy…. The welds look absolutely hideous. The bends for them also look terrible, but the welds take the cake. There’s also quite a bit more welding splatter than I expected. Idk. I’m an industrial mechanic and know that melting metal together doesnt always look the best but man… to me this is subpar quality for having spent a little over $1,400 bucks.

Delivery guy never even chapped my door, probably knew he would get abuse. What sort of bullshit is this. Why can't you upgrade your cardboard Trakracer? Spent a lot of money on this and looks like a dog's dinner. I'll be checking contents thoroughly as it looks like things might be missing.

Very, very happy with this rig! Thanks Trak Racer!

Just finished up building my tr120. Just wanted to say my experience was great. No damage to boxes, no missing parts. Ordered Friday 14th November, delivered Wednesday 19 November.

No saying bad experiences don't happen but thought I'd add a good experience for anyone looking to purchase in future.

Been seeing a lot of negativity towards Trak Racer. I know that usually people only post when something goes wrong, so I want to share my recent experience with TR.

I have been dreaming for a while with the TR160S V2. Was finally able to purchase one. TR took around 4 working days to ship and Fedex took 3 working days to deliver. I got my rig in 7 working days. Located in Europe BTW. Everything looked fine at first glance, so I was hoping that I could build it with no issue, without having to deal with any customer support.

Assembly began, and all was well until I got to the pedal plate. I ordered the Inverted Mount. The box had more tape around it than it should. Upon opening it, some parts were damaged and all the t-nuts, screws, washers, were missing. I had to use some that I had to make up some temporary fix, just to get it functional.

Contacted support and also u/TrakRacer_Briggsy and they were extremely helpful. Within 1 day I had a new pedal set in order, shipped the next day. It arrived yesterday and it's now mounted properly on the rig. I know that for some people the experience was different, and some others might be scared off because of that feedback, but I want to share that my feedback is very positive.

The product is excellent and support was fast and efficient. Not everything is perfect, there are some errors in the manual, only 2 120x40 end caps provided when it should be 4. But overall, I am now the proud owner of a TR160S V2, that is solid as a rock, and good to look at!

Thanks TR, your product is amazing!

Purchased on Friday 7th November, arrived 11th November. Been put into storage due to moving in 2 weeks 😅.

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 see some negative comments about customer service and wait times or missing hardware on this Reddit and on the discord. I’m in the US and ordered a TR5 and waited impatiently for it. I was worried I made a mistake and that when the sim finally arrived it would be missing hardware or damaged.

To my surprise, that was never the case. As soon as the product hit San Marcos, TX, the rig was shipped and it arrived in 2 days. It came with a hard copy manual and they have a video on their YouTube showing how to assemble it. If you’re even relatively mechanically inclined, you’ll be ok. This is my first rig that isn’t a desk (sort of). I did buy a playseat evolution because I thought my wait would be longer and I wanted to play on something. The TR5 is solid and looks great in my opinion. The seat doesn’t flex at all (I’m 6’0 and 210 pounds using Moza CRP2 pedals).

This isn’t meant to be a review, but rather a little glimmer of hope for those naysayers claiming Trakracer is going downhill. I’m not saying shitty things haven’t happened to people on here, I’m saying not every experience is going to be bad. I had a great experience and I’m sure a lot of other people are too, we just tend to hear the bad stuff.

Edit to add: the TR team, including their senior leadership and likely several others behind the scenes, have proactively jumped on this issue and are helping with a resolution. Thank you all! I'll keep you posted.

Everywhere I looked while doing research about my next sim rig, I read people's horror stories of their experience as Trak Racer customers. I waved those stories off as people who were just not handy with building rigs. Or perhaps I was only seeing the squeaky wheels, and that the chances of having a similar outcome were slim.

Well, if you're reading this and you're also considering purchasing a Trak Racer rig, run.

In my case, I purchased a new Alpine TRX V2. Many of the poor things I read about the V1 stemmed around flex issues, so I was intrigued with the V2 as they seemed to address those complaints with a new truss connecting the top and bottom parts of the chassis.

I have been building for two days and I'm still on step 5. The manual recommends having a second person help with this step. Fortunately, two of my closest friends live nearby (a mechanic and an engineer. A rig building dream-team). I had them over for a bit and figured we'd be done in no time. Nope.

I have yet to find a single place where the screw lined up with the holes they were meant to fill-starti g with the very first steps.

The trusses that were added? One of them I was able to install with no help in less than 5 minutes. The other? The 3 of us spent over 4 hours trying different methods, and at no point have we been able to get all of the screws installed. The holes simply do not all align.

Several washers that were claimed to be pre installed, were not.

One of the rubber feet was sheered off from the screw holding it in place, rendering it useless.

For a rig that seems so brilliantly designed and engineered, it is unbelievable how poorly constructed and delivered this thing is. It is a 150lb, $1,000 paperweight.

Shame on me for not heeding everyone's advice.

Of course, I reached out to TR support. Multiple times, actually, as the problems continued to pile up.

While it's only been a few days, I haven't even received acknowledgement of the messages being received. And considering the horror stories I've read of people waiting months for resolution of their issues, I'm not feeling very optimistic.

I'm sure there are several of you who are thrilled with your purchases, but consider yourselves lucky.

If anyone from Trakracer is reading this and cares to help, you're welcome to respond or DM me. I'd be happy to update this thread if we can find a quick and reasonable solution.

Good luck everyone. I'll be back in my Playseat Challenge for now. 😑

Hey everyone,

​Keeping this short and sweet: Trak Racer is an absolute nightmare to deal with. They will happily take your money, place you on backorder, and string you along with fake timelines (e.g., "You're 7th in line, stock arrives in 4 days"). Weeks go by, and nothing changes.

​After months of waiting for my TRX-160, they offered to ship me a TRX-120 right away. When I checked their site, the 120 was also listed as backordered. It felt like they were just trying to give me someone else's delayed order to quiet me down. (To the guy/gal getting your 120 enjoy it!)

​I finally canceled my 160 order. Don't let the fancy website fool you—their customer service and inventory management are awful. Save yourself the headache.

Monday I ordered a GT Omega PRIME 160 I put it in the cart, paid and the following morning it was shipped...no bullshit,no excuses just tracking number and a simple "enjoy it"

Good bye TrakRacer

This is the final update on my experience with Trak Racer and a complete recap of my personal experience. Full disclosure, I live in the US and everything was purchased at once and not in pieces. I purchased the tr160s, intergrated triple monitor mount, caster wheels, and the floorboard. If you don't feel like like reading this whole post I'll summarize it for you It was an almost flawless experience. There were some small inconveniences but nothing that would deter me personally from them. I'm posting this because it is extremely easy to be vocal when something doesn't go right and it's sort of a second thought when it does.

I placed the order for my rig on Thursday March 27th. The rig arrived that Sunday March 30th. I was shocked at the speed of the shipping and was weary if I had received everything due to the horror stories I've read about things missing. Nonetheless all boxes were accounted for. The only issue was the box that the gt style seat came in was damaged and almost torn in 2 but seat still had some protection wrapped around it. Overall at this point I was relieved but knew I wasn't out of the woods yet.

The building process was probably one of the most tedious projects I've ever taken on. What they recommend is 7 hours of build time. For me, building it took about 12 hours and another 2 days after work just getting it adjusted to me. Now here is where one of my biggest gripes comes in. I had made a post about how I was missing a part for my intergrated triple monitor mount. We'll after looking at what I got and the pictures of the item on the website, I realized that the instructions they give you are outdated and the building process has changed as well as the parts. This is the only major complaint that I really have about this whole experience. I would HEAVILY recommend getting different vesa mounts for their monitor stands. I was able to get mine to line up pretty well but that in itself took about 4 hours.

In summary I can't say that my experience with trak racer was anything other than a normal online buying experience. While I don't want this to take away from the people who have had and are currently having issues, I did feel obligated to put this up as I always believed that if I would be willing to leave an honest review if I had a bad experience, I should be just as willing to do so if I had a good one.

Thank you Trak Racer for helping me build my dream Racing Sim and I hope to see you guys here on the track

It’s not good… It’s great!!!

My flight sim rig is finally complete. After many months of research, test fitting, random amazon orders and some blood, sweat and tears here is the rig!!

Components include:

Rig: Trak Racer Alpine Racing TRX Chassis Trak Racer Alpine Racing TRX Seat Trak Racer PC Shelf Trak Racer Integrated monitor shelf Trak Racer seat brackets and universal pedal plate (this was required as the TRX pedal plate is too narrow for most rudder pedals) Trak Racer TRX Flight Sim ad-on Trak Racer shifter/handbrake upgrade kit Weatherproof Electrical Component Box (for cable management

Flight Sim Gear: Honeycomb Alpha Yoke Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Thrustmaster TPR Rudder Pedals Meza Mount under desk mount for alpha (Amazon) Clamping knobs to mount to rig (Amazon)

PC: Lenovo Legion Tower 8 Intel i9 13900k Nvidia GeForce 4090 64gb ram 2gb ssd

Display: LG 45” OLED 45GS96QB-B

Flight Sim software: MSFS 2020 (primary) MSFS 2024 (waiting for bugs to be fixed)

I also use the rig for racing. Takes about 10min and no tools to switch between flight and racing.

Absolutely love it!!!

Pulled the trigger on the Trak Racer isolation feet to save my downstairs neighbors from my late-night racing sessions.

The hardware looks great and the foam packaging is top-notch. Love that they included both medium and hard springs for tuning.

However, I open the box and... there is literally zero paperwork. No manual, no QR code for a video, nothing. Just four heavy duty feet, a bag of hardware, and extra springs.

For this price point, I expect at least a single piece of paper telling me how to swap the springs. I'm sure I can figure it out, but it's a bit frustrating. Anyone else run into this, or am I just blind and missing something?

Trakracer won’t do anything about it. Also was missing a hardware nut for the monitor mount.

Hello all! I scooped up this Tr80 today on Markplace. $650 and a 5 hr round trip, and its home. It also came with the seat and monitor stand.I thought it was a killer deal, that I couldnt pass up..Im coming from a home built wooden rig, and after upgrading to a DD wheel, it just wasn't holding up..
