I have 3 32” monitors, using the smaller setup option (step 06a) in the manual does not allow enough width for the stand to slot around TR80s frame. Essentially I can’t move the monitor stand to be behind my wheel plate. I am attaching a screenshot from the manual that basically states it should. what am I doing wrong?
So because the side mount isn't designed to sit flush in the uprights.. I can't get the tabletop high enough to go over my knees. Is there a solution to this or did I just drop money on an expensive paperweight?
Has anyone had this and come up with a solution? It's as far back as it goes(I know there is a bit of space there but the rail hole above is maxed out)
Finally making the switch to a direct drive wheel. but one issue i have is i don’t know how to mount the alpha evo onto an aluminum rig. i prefer not to mount it the same way on the plate as my thrustmaster because it’s bit to far for me when i’m not drifting. I’ve been looking into just getting the side mounts and a 4080 x 500 aluminum for the cross bar. aswell as looking into the TR-One v3 but don’t know if that’ll work. if anyone could help and provide some input that would be great!
i have the build in monitor mount but the plate is too big
Hello,
I am about to pull the trigger on a TR160 v5 setup but would like to know if any of you know if there is some discount codes available, or any upcoming sale is coming any time soon?
I've been bitten by the sim bug, so I'm currently ordering myself a new sim rig, because racing from my desk is awful. I think I'm pretty set in the TR120, with triple screens, but I'm unsure if I should go for the freestanding monitor stand or the attached one? I'm concerned about the integrated one picking up vibrations from the FFB and causing stability issues. Anyone have experience with both and have an opinion?
I'm also looking in advice for the right seat. I'm a 5'10" 260lb old man that carries most of my weight in my belly, what are my best seat options for comfort and longevity? I'd prefer something with both normal sports car seating as well as formula/Indy.
Everything was going well until I received my monitor mount. It came scuffed up a good amount on the brackets, and was missing parts delaying my build a few days until support was able to help.
Only complaints I have is with the monitor mount, while it has good adjustability, since I have the shifter with support arm, I’m not able to move the monitor arms any further down because of the TR Support Plate that connects the Side Chassis Support and the rig together for I’m assuming rigidity. My monitor has to be a little high up which is slightly above eye level, I sit reclined back anyway so it’s fine to me.
Why does the Caster wheels kit only come with 4 wheels ? With the monitor attached I get noticeable flex in the middle where 2 more wheels should be mounted to prevent that.
If you’re mounting Moza pedals, I did have to order an M8 kit which included using M8x25mm for the front 3 mounting points and M8x60mm for the bottom 2 mounting points.
Overall I’m very happy with the setup, total build time was probably 5 days with all the measurements, waiting on parts and disassembly lol this $350 rig turned into the best $1k I’ve spent.
Everything I used:
• Moza R5 Bundle, Moza AB9, Moza HGP handbrake
• Trak Racer Cockpit Mounted Single Monitor Stand Supports up to 80" Display
•Trak Racer Universal Caster Wheels
•Trak Racer TR Gen 2 Shifter Mount and Side Chassis Support with TR Support Plate
• Trak Racer Seat Bracket Set for Recline Seats (no Angle Adjustment)
• AOC 34” Ultra wide Monitor
• Mineer Bucket Seat with slider rails
I've hit a road block whilst trying to assemble the tr5.. this chair adjuster bit I can't screw in because it's too close and as you can see damages the paint. Pretty shit experience so far... funniest part in the tutorial video the guy is blocking the view in this part.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
