algo needs to bump this video up a notch! So wholesome and informative. Thanks JPR.
Thanks Jack. I really appreciate your support mate. Thank you! 👍🏽
Nice one :) My ASR4 from Advanced Sim Racing is VERY similar to this. And I used to have a next level racing GT Track which I ultimately returned because it was awful quality and the service was pretty lacklustre too.
I gotta say that an aluminum extrusion rig is way better than a prefab and there’s so much more flexibility for accessories and addons. Took me a whole day to build mine and then another 6 months of on and off work adding and customizing things :)
I ultimately went with a DD1 from Fanatec, alongside the CSL Elite V2 pedals. For the wheels I went with the R300 (with Podium Hub, Advanced Paddle Module and Endurance Button Module), CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 and the Formula V2.5. Couldn’t be happier.
Thanks. I agree the aluminium rigs are better than the fixed rigs because they offer heaps more versatility in the way of add-ons. Hopefully we get plenty years and sim mileage out our rigs and equipment! 👍🏽
Thanks for the video, I am about to do the same build.
You're welcome and I hope it helps with your build. Enjoy your build.
Thanks Joe, your video helped me realize this task may not be as daunting if you just take your time. Well done and enjoy!
My pleasure ducman. I hope you have hours of racing enjoyment! 🙌🏽
Great Vid. I got the same rig, and some notes regarding the seat mount. I think that in the instructions it says to do 15" or 380mm from inside edge to edge on the cross beams but that isn't correct if you want to the outer edge flush. You did that well.. I wish I had watched your video first as now my 40x40 stick out beyond the cross beams. Also the diagram shows the 90 degree mounts on the inside part of those 40x40s.. but i think its actually better to put them on the outside as it's easier to adjust and tighten them up. I ended up attaching the seat sliders to the seat, the 40x40 beams to the seat sliders, then taking all of that and mounting that to the cross bars. Having the 90 degree brackets on the outside made that easier.
Hi Gordon. I'm glad you liked the video. You're right the manual only tells you how far apart the 40x40 need to be for the sear rails but actually needs to explain how far from centre each rail must sit.
The manual is a little grey and open to interpretation and I know what you mean about the 90 degree angle bracket placement. I questioned whether they should be on the inside.
It sure was a bit of a test but still great satisfaction once it got done. Great to know that you could work it out in the end.
Hope you enjoy your rig! 😎
Thanks for the vid. Very detailed and clear
I'm so glad you liked this!
it hurt me to see that logistic on that work of art. I upgraded my wheel before i even got a rig and man was it a night and day difference. I will follow you just to see your reaction when you do.
Thanks Phillip. I know I'll be amazed. Stay tuned!
Nice job! Looking to get this rig too and found your vid more by luck but glad i did as it was really helpful. Couple of questions pls ... did the shifter mount come with the rig or do you need to purchase separately? And, if the shifter is mounted on the left, does the triangular fixing plate (the part with the TR logo) fit on the other size? Thx
Hi remark704. Great to hear that the video was helpful to you. The shifter mount was extra and I also added the longer arm for it and upright for it. The plate with the TR logo will show on both left and right because it's printed on both sides of the plate. I hope you enjoy putting your rig together.
All you need rights now is the VR and you are all set
You're right Salim. I have a PSVR although I'm sure the PSVR2 would be much better.
The black is beautiful, but it scratches very fast if you want to change some parts later on.
True. But if done carefully the damage could be minimal.
Very nice rig...trackracer, the only downside is logitech...i used to have logitech and i upgraded to fanatec direct drive...i bet your next upgrade is fanatec GT DD pro with 8nm booster...its gonna be game changer
Thanks Randy! Building the new rig was challenging and really I enjoyed doing. I have to say that the Logitech G29 will definitely be going one day as I'm looking for better feedback through the wheel and more responsive pedals
Ordered a 160 rig on May 13 and still waiting on mine to ship. Congratulations
Thanks man! Nice choice for a rig! Hopefully your rig will arrive soon! 👍🏽👍🏽
Looks very nice mate. I’m probably upgrading to something similar. Gt Omega Prime Cockpit. 👍
Thanks Graham! I was considering a GT Omega but went with the Trak Racer because it's a local company. Moving up to a rig was a great choice.
Hi Joe, I think I’m about your height, Do you recommend that seat for sim racing or the reclinable style
How will you rate the seat you have.
I’m undecided about the seats to choose. Thanks.
Hi R1cko. I chose the GT style seat over the recliner sports seat because I felt that it would offer more support while racing. After having the rig for a year now, I still find it comfortable enough for me to sit in for long periods.
nice rig m8, but with a rig like that you need a new wheelbase and pedals :)
I totally agree Martin. It will definitely be happening mate. 😎
Hi, were the paper instructions included or you printed it? I ordered and waiting for TR80, but got digital instructions in the email. Thanks!
Hi @dainiax You will receive a Q.R code with your order and you can download the instructions from there and print them out.
All the best with your build. I enjoyed doing mine.
Never thought I would ever see anyone put a Logitech wheel on an aluminium rig 🤣
I need one of these, my NLR F-GT is eating much of my feedback, despite being really solid.
😄 You're right it is a little bit of overkill, but it's definitely a solid unit. 😎
@@joepaceracing Haha, yes. This is borderline overkill for my R9. But glad it's solid, when I move to a bigger place I'll probably build one of these too! 😁
@@joepaceracing Always a good idea to start with a solid foundation and upgrade everything else along the way.
@advanceddarkness3 I absolutely agree 🙌🏽
How are you enjoying this 4 months in? Do you feel the need for a better wheel and pedals to match?
Hi David. I'm really enjoying this rig and I'm looking forward to adding more to it. I do want to upgrade to a DD wheel and better pedals as the G29 is starting to feel a bit insufficient now. All in all so far I really happy with the rig.
@@joepaceracing Very good! I just purchased a GT Omega Prime chassis. Still waiting on it to arrive, but much like you, I started with a belt-driven wheel (Thrustmaster) and a similar wheel/pedal stand. I feel as soon as I mount the wheel, I'm going to want to upgrade it. Also already planning some other upgrades, such as haptic feedback. Was looking at butt kicker, but for the 80/20 extrude chassis, Slip-Angle has a really good looking set for a really good price and it's a 4 transducer setup with spring damping. This is quite the hobby though. Once you get the bug, you just can't see to get enough.
This sounds excellent! You're going for complete immersion! These are upgrades that I have been planning on also. Once I upgrade the wheel and pedals then it will grow from there. I hope that you enjoy your GT Omega was it's all set up. Let me know how you go with it.
How long did delivery take??
I went to the depot and picked it up myself to save time. My order was ready in 3 days.
For the love of god why that horrible wheel? Direct drive wheels are sooo cheap now. $400 for moza r3 and fanatec csl dd bundles. $300 for cammus c5 with pedals bundle…. Trust me once you switch you’ll know what a toy you’re using now
It does the job for now. But I will be updating one day.
You did all that for a fucking Logitech?
I ALL did that for me.
@@joepaceracing fair enough but its like buying a ferrari with a 4 cylinder engine. Go direct drive, you have no idea how bad the Logitech is
Yeah I understand that. But for now this will do and an upgrade has always been part of the plan.
@@joepaceracing You need a decent stand or rig for the DD wheel anyway so i think you've done things in the right order. I'd probably go with better peddles now you have a decent rig to strap them to before a dd wheel although there is phenomenal deals available for entry level DD bundles with wheel, base and pedals.
That order of doing things seemed to me to be the general consensus online but of course we all have individual circumstance and preferences that comes into it. Best of luck mate.
All in the plan and everything in time. Thanks mate! 👍🏽👍🏽
When the stand for the wheel is more expensive than the wheel itself, you know you are doing something wrong. Throw this wheel to the trashcan and buy a direct drive wheel ffs...
I'm not quite done with the wheel yet.
