    Your seat bracket is installed backwards, flip it around and you will get far more tilt.

    Thorough review and honest summing up. It looks like a solid rig. I built my own rig 10 years ago now but if i was to upgrade i would seriously consider the TR80. Thanks Yorkie.. Hope this comment finds you well safe and happy.

      $1500 for the wheel pedals DD
      $1k to $1500lK new PC
      $1k sim rig +seat
      $200 for monitors holder

    Question at 08:56 about the seat bracket. According to the pics on the site and the instruction manual, you have the brackets backward. So which way is the correct way? I'm curious as I built mine according to the instruction manual which I am not a fan of.

    • @Yorkie065
      @Yorkie065  2 роки тому +1

      The way it is in the instruction manual / pics online is the correct way. I have mine on backwards, accidentally. Just need to get the seat in the right position for you, so don't be afraid to move it round to find something that's comfortable and that you like.

  • @johnl2613
    @johnl2613 Рік тому

    Question about the width of the TR80. According to their website it's 660mm from edge to edge (widest measurement). Your video states 580m or 22.83 inches. Is that the width minus the vertical columns (the wheel mount columns)? I like the TR80 but my monitor stand's inner width (between the two legs) is 22 inches.

    • @Yorkie065
      @Yorkie065  Рік тому

      Yeah, the 580mm is the width of the actual rectangular base itself. The width at the widest point which is actually the vertical columns to mount the wheel base and also the integrated monitor mount rather than the separate one, is 660mm as per the website. Those vertical columns attach to the outside of edges of the rectangular base.

      Yes but I don't notice it. The only reason I know it is there is because when watching back my streams with the webcam, you can see a slight wobble if I move the wheel very quickly and aggressively.
      I have today actually moved things around slightly and tightened it all back up, so hopefully that reduces what little bit there was.

    Hey, I think you put your seat brackets in the wrong side, that don't let you use all the range you can use in a good utilisation. If you switch and turn them you could put your seat more bend(idk how to say it sorry)

    Do not buy this rig. The instructions are incorrect, parts are missing in the shipment, the metal pieces are all scratched up. Nothing fits together correctly. Save yourself some time and money by purchasing another rig.
    At 1:58 you can see that the bags of nuts and bolts have labels on them. None of my bags had any labels. There are no identifying part numbers on any of the pieces. Each aluminum bar has to be measure so that you can determine which part it is.
