The ULTIMATE Sim Racing Cockpit Buyer's Guide - kzhead.info/sun/opmMhNWsj5aJnqM/bejne.html What type of rig do you race with?
One of those lite folding rigs a g29 wheel, peddles and shifter with the PS5 and PSVR2
none 😂
Alpine TRX as of tomorrow, I can’t wait. I ordered mine during the Black Friday sale. ALPINE TRX.
DIY wooden rig
Simlab P1X 👍
nice rig if you just wantto use it how its sold.....if you have lots of additional stuff like Button Box...mouse, keyboard..LED Flags and so on this kind of rig is on its end fast...then a extrusion rig is more flexibel
Amazing how authentic the experience is with this product having been designed by F1 engineers. It looks like you are almost laying down horizontally at 8:26. Is that how some of the real race cars sit? The TRX is certainly versatile and will handle almost anything you throw at it in modern gear.
Yes thats the F1 position 👌
u basically sit in a sleeping position while in the F1 cars, so TECHNICALLY its the world's fastest bed
How's the stiffness, adjustability, and seat comfort compare to the playseat trophy? That is what I thought it was at first without my glasses.
I actually love this TRX rig. Saving up my money for this one. As far as the flex in the shifter and handbrake. I don't use them, so no worries for me.
Will the Fanatec inverted V3 pedals fit on this?
I have a concern with the arm stand. It looks ok, but not sturdy enough if a motion system is added to the rig...Am I right ?
Can the club sport racing wheel F1 be used on this ????
Have they said anything about the flexing being fixed ??? Looking to buy one but I feel for the price should be more rigid
Wow what a dream rig
💯
For a beginner at Sim RAcing, is there one Steering Wheel that can be used for both F1 and GT?
Would a monitor like that work with GT7 on PS?
best simulator i see,, thanks for the video, i have budget one playseat evolution and g923 if i will upgrade i will buy this for sure
🤙
does anyone have a discount code? I want to buy the rs6 + rally seat. Thank you
It looks really nice, i honestly love it. Tube rigs are not for me. Id rather spend 5-10 mins changing positions. Its rare I'd drive GT and formula in same session.
Subbed! This looks awesome.
🤩
Looks amazing, wonder how it would fair against dirt/wrc with that flex? I think the TR160 amounts to roughly the same if I'm reading the costs right, although doesn't look as sleek as this!!
Lots of adjustability so no suprise there's a little bit of flex
Friend of mine got this...the flex is herrendious...there is no way you can ignore it..I'm glad I purchased the Elite 160 from NLR...it's a much better quality rig.
Eye opening review. Its so sad to see it flex like that! Maybe youre next major review could be for a rig that has the least amount of flex.
Yes it was a shame but not suprised as there's so many adjustable points.
A vertical bracing tube on each side where you swing your legs through I think would take some of that movement out
What’s the weight limit ?
The website says the monitor mount can only take up to 45” I have a g9 49” Ultrawide there is no issues mounting it right?
I've had a LG 49" ultrawide on there without any issues
@@GeekStreet excellent, thank you!
I’ll be driving mostly GT so I’m wondering if you recommend a good one with a good look and style in this ball park?
Yes if you want a gt aluminum rig there are many. I drive gt and F1 so I got the nlr fgt elite Ferrari edition on Black Friday and now that I’m used to adjusting it, it literally takes me like 5 min and is super solid.
I’d love it, but my profile rig now is so modular and zero flex with my 25nm Simucube
Flex you see @7:40 is because the wheel mount is not tightened up properly to the slide mounts. My trx doens't have that flex at all. (Just the side arms move up and down a little but thats not noticable during driving) I did replaced the provided bolts with better stainless steel hex head to be able to use a spanner instead of an allen key.
Hey, I really wanted this product but based on his comments about the flexing, I’m a little put off. What do you think?
@@aaronchantler2150 The excessive flex you see in the videos in the wheeldeck is due to not properly thightening up de knobs and bolts. (In the Karl Gossling review this is very obvious) The flex in the frame itself is there but it isn't noticable when driving in the sim. Nobody is pulling steering wheels up and down with both hands unless it's deliberatly looking for flex. The wheeldeck plate has many slots to provide for many mounting options and that weakens the plate. Mounting a pedal set with a sturdy wheel plate reduces that flex a lot. The movement of the pedalset you see on the video @8:48 is likely because it isn't attached properly at the front. There is however noticable movement in the gearshifter/handbrake option that comes with the rig. The weak spot is the angle adjustment of the shifter mount but that part can be ommitted by mounting a piece of 40x80 or 40x120 profile and mount the shifter and handbrake directly on that. Now I think of that that play can be solved by using countersunk bolts instead of the provided allen bolts.
@@frankderks1150 what a reply! Thanks very much for taking the time to write all of that out… I am new to the hobby, so based on your reply, I guess you would happily advise me to get one! Thanks again Frank
@@frankderks1150beautiful description !! Thank you !!
Can anyone tell me that the steering and paddles are included in this setup or we have to buy it from after market?? Anyone please.
The wheel and pedals would have to be purchased separately
@@GeekStreet okay
@@GeekStreet bro can you ship your product internationally like in India ??
real question can the base plate handle heunsfeld sprint pedals?
Of course it can. I have pro pedals on my TR8 PRO and its fine.
Dear author, please tell me: 1. Is it worth paying for Fanatec DD2/DD1 or is DD Pro enough? 2. Which Fanatec steering wheels do you recommend?
1) For the majority of people the DD Pro is more the enough. 2) I quite like the CSL Steering Wheel GT V2 and have been use it for quite a while now.
Nice rig
Love you from Sri Lanka ❤ Big dream but middle class 😢
❤️😭
Sieht echt schick aus. werde mir aber das Next Level Racing F GT Elite 160 kaufen, an Weihnachten. P.S. Weshalb eigentlich eine deutsche Videobeschreibung, obwohl es ein englischer Kanal ist ?
How comfortable is the TRX seat compare to the rally seat?
Ehhh it's ok. It's pretty hard though. If I'm in it for like 4+ hours I'm sore. I put plush blanket behind me sometimes for more padding. The "padding" it comes with feels pretty cheap and is stuff as hell, it doesn't really soften it much.
@@TallTaleGael I bought one and after a few long sessions, I agree with your statement. I don't hate it though. I don't do endurance races, I only tend to play 10-30 mins per race. The only thing that's missing is a lumbar support. I'll probably be okay after that.
I think the tr8 pro is worth the value
Awesome kit, great review bro 👍🏼 "ALPINE TRX"
❤️
I'm finally gonna buy a sim rig and wheel and pedals
What are you going to go for?
@@GeekStreet I'm going for the track racer tr8 pro
I have around £1500 for a rig? Any recommendations? That'a including steering wheel. Any help would be great.
The TR120 is awesome go for that kzhead.info/sun/fMqNm6airHOXm5E/bejne.html
TR FleX
🤣
I'm a sofa racer with a cheap foldable wheel stand and a G29 with brake mod. It's not brilliant, but it's better than a controller at least. No spare room to dedicate to gaming, so even if I had a big budget, I'm stuck with a foldable rig for now.
Still good enjoy 👌
Just build your living room around your rig 😂😂
😅
As long as you enjoy yourself man that’s what it’s all about , not many of us could afford this but it’s a nice thought . Maybe one day man
Same here. Stand with t300 on the sofa speedway 😁. Buddy is practically trying to pay me to take his complete rig, triple 27s and all, I've got nowhere it could go without taking away from either our kids or my wife. Still fun and enjoyable, would never pack it in, we should start the SOFA team 😁
Looks awesome
ALPINE TRX Just ordered one and wondering if a very tall girl will find this adequately adjustable to fit. long legs, 38" inseam.
How you like it ?
@@gstylez909 it's pretty good. There are some annoyances not with the TRX unit itself or it's incredible adjustability or ease of relocation with the wheel option. But there needs to be more options for accessories, the rear 5.1 speaker mounts aren't positioned optimally for use or ingress/egress. I'd like to see electric motor seat rail options, the manual handles are too 1970s and get in the way of foot space when not racing/drifting/driving. Many more things. I need to do a review video and much needed suggestions
@@herlegz6969 how’s the flex ? Noticeable?
@@gstylez909 none noticeable. I have inverted v3 fanatec peddles with podium DD2 and GT extreme hubs and a few QR2 wheels. The GT extreme wheel is the only thing that doesn't feel fantastically solid, the other wheels are solid AF and the closest to any issue is extreme vibration from wheel shaking anything not very firmly affixed to the TRX/ set on it inadvertently. The TRX itself is solid. I moved my 4 monitor stand away and just mounted a 49" 32:9 directly above wheel base, it's fantastic. Besides non optimal speaker mounting locations but that's underway to be addressed.
@@herlegz6969 good to know. I have the trx pro debating if it’s worth the upgrade
About £8-9 grands worth of kit with the new pc and racing wheel etc....very nice but way out of my price range sadly.
Yes unfortunately nothing is cheap
Alpine TRX. Another terrific review. Rig looks good with easy adjustability a big drawcard, but a bit too much flex for my liking.
BIG LOVE BRO ASWESLME THING BRO
😈
Frame only £999.99, + seat, shifter and monior stand another £900.00 - + Fanatec gear
ALPINE TRX 👌👌👌👌
❤️
To me this thing looks like a disaster! IMO the first priority of a premium rig is rigidity. I think TRs profile rigs are stellar and hope to get one in the near future. Horses for courses I guess.
Yeah I was suprised didn't expect that.
Alpine TRX. This rig is pretty awesome but the price tag is steep.
🤩
They should've called it Alpine Flex
xbox + logitech g920
👌

Tubular rigs shouldn’t suck as much as they do. They don’t need to flex like a tin can if they were designed properly.
With Trak Racers inability to deliver products in a timely fashion, I would highly recommend steering clear of this company.
I ordered mine last week and got it within 3 days??
What delivery service did you order with???
Alpine TRX
❤️
Why do I do this to myself 😭
😳😳😳😭😭😭
Shame there's so much flex as it looks really solid otherwise.
Alpine trx
❤️
what a load of BS that its designed by f1 engineers lol .... Just because it has a Alpine sticker on it doenst make it what the title says. Especially with that flex LOL.... Thats why trackracer disabled the comments on the original video.
lot of wobble on the monitor.
La vidéo est bien mais wtf l'intonation de ses phrases 😅
This video should be age locked , it’s basically porn 😂😮 so beautiful
😅
🫵🏻🏁
I have the same setup but in blue. For the price, this thing feels like trash. At a distance it looks fantastic just don't look at it closely or touch it. The whole thing is covered in paint overspray and even the threads were painted and needed to be chased with a tap. They even left the round stickers (presumably designating the part number) on the tubes and painted over them. The Alpine graphics on the seat were poorly applied with wrinkles everywhere and they were also torn in shipping. Along with numerous scratches on other parts due to poor packaging. Enough about the cosmetics and poor QC. Let's talk about how well it works. This rig feels flimsy. Whether climbing into the rig, steering or pressing the pedals, everything moves when pressure is applied. Trying to get it to work properly with a Logitech G Pro wheel was a challenge. The original universal mount didn't work at all. I had to purchase version 2 and cobble it together. The brackets don't provide the correct range of motion to fit me for a GT position. Either the steering wheel is at the right height and the brackets protrude so low that they hit your knees or flip the brackets over to save your knees but now the top of the wheel is at the height of my nose. There is not a configuration that fits in the middle. I can't tell you how many times I've disassembled and reassembled the rig in different configurations to try to find something that works. I have a hard time believing that the Alpine F1 team had any input into designing this. I'd be truly embarrassed to put my name on it. This is just a prime example of marketing BS. Climb into any home built race prepped street car like a NA Spec Miata, which is a total limp noodle, and it feels like Fort Knox in comparison to this Harbor Freight knock off. Also the ergonomics are spot on where as this rig always feels compromised. Just as a point of reference, a roll cage, seat and brackets for a real car cost about the same as this rig. This product was overhyped and seriously under delivers. Wish I could get my money back.
Poorly designed chassis. I doubt real F1 engineers designed this.
Nice toy, only I see just 1 monitor, a shame for such a setup and no mirrors, I find it difficult to drive, otherwise it is well done
Still couldn't get the XGIMI Horizon ultra projector ??🥲🥲
Sorry I've had to give up on that one, but I have something you may enjoy coming this weekend so stay tuned.
Sure Bro🥲👍@@GeekStreet
