How do you not have 1 million subs! thanks for the run down on the new mount.
Haha thanks guys! I really appreciate it 😅 and thankyou for sending this my way! I appreciate all your support the last 12 months!
Hey so I received this with my order of the TR80 the other day, but on the website when you’re choosing mounting options it still shows the older dd1 mounting option. So when I received it I didn’t know what I had and went back and forth with support about this (probably being kind of a dick)and some other parts I thought I was missing but was just using an old manual with different parts(new manual should be listed first) so I can only recommend you guys change the product images on the site. Sorry for the support trouble
Trak Racer, when will this be available in the UK? Please keep sending Kyle your products, he does an awesome job. I purchased the TR160 because of this guy 💪👍
@@brotherben7087 now in UK
I have the old mount he had in this video with my dd1 which i had to purchase extra obviously is this new one much better to warrant an upgrade? thanks
Absolutely love this video, AND you’re new production quality level is amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I’m so glad you like it my man!! Really means a lot 😄 let’s make a cracking 2022 🙌🏻🤙🏻
Great video found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Great quality production you deserve far more subscribers.
Hey mate!! Thank you so much 😄 I’m so glad you found us and I’m super appreciative of your feedback 🤙🏻 welcome to the team!!
Perfect vid dude, exactly what I wanted to see before purchase, the gen 1 was a mission to put together if ya on your own. Production quality 👌 top work mate, first vid I've seen of yours but worthy of a subscribe 🤙🏁
Hey mate!!! Thanks so much 😄 I’m happy you liked the vid and found it useful!! I really appreciate that my man welcome to the team! 😅
Definitely looks better than the old mount, can you tell me if u can get the spacers on their own and how thick are they?
Recently got one of these, can’t wait to mount it up. It looks badass 👌🏼😎
Your going to love it haha 😄 they look wicked and are super sturdy!
where did you get your bolts? for the side mounts cause the m6 bolts i have need washers for the dd
I purchased this for my prime lite and was 2cm sort of uprights each side so I purchased M8 washers and M8x70mm bolts and used 25 washers per bolt to attach it’s absolutely rock solid side mounts are definitely better rigidity
Thanks for the video Kyle 🙂 I am currently building/buying the parts for my first ever Rig and just bought the TR120 with TR-One Front Mount, but am in two minds between Front Mounting and Side Mounting my Wheel Base..... do you think, with the way it's packaged that the Black "Spacers" for Side Mounting come standard in the basic TR-One Box? i.e. do you think the base TR-One comes with the Side Spacers and only if you want to Front Mount or Base Plate Mount, then they are 2 separate other Options to purchase? Cheers in advance, Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland).... p.s. I've Subscribed 😀
So, just ordered and received my tr120. I am missing a ton of hardware. Why the bags aren't numbered or labeled or show the contents is baffling to me. So now I will have to disassemble everything I have built so far to tell Track Racer exactly what I'm missing or I fear they won't send me any replacements. Such a headache
hey mate! have you contacted Trakracer? normaly if I've had any issues they've been fantastic with helping out to resolve things! i remember when I built my TR160 I was the same because I was using different sizes in different areas and it threw everything outta whack until I took another look through everything and went through individual bolts. :) but like I said, any issues I've had have always been fixed up pretty painlessly
@@KyleSpoor I've sent them a request for assistance. Just waiting for a response. I wish my issue was as simple as that. I'm short a handful of t-nuts. My CSL DD mount you reviewed came with 2 sizes of bolts but the bolt counts were wrong. No t-nuts for the DD either. The only other thing I can think of is that they have refined the amount of hardware recommended to securely fasten everything, but the instructions haven't been updated.
Hmmm I’m not too sure to be honest! They should get back to you pretty quick!
@@Dr.Faceman Got same problem, lots of different things missing, also 12 bolts that should be 25mm are all short as came 20mm. My DD pro doesn't even fit with the plates on? Im wondering if aluminium profile sent is too long? T nuts supplied with DD pro are 6mm where this is designed for 8mm. Because i cant use the plates these bolts are now too long. Supposed to be compatible, its no where near if you aren't provided with the correct equipment. What should have been a fun weekend has turned in to a frustrating one, leaves a sour taste. The manual is crap too and incorrect, that says use 4 plates! even if i could fit it in with 4 plates the bolts would then be too short!
Premium cockpit my arse.
@@mark4993 Sorry to hear that. There is an option on their site to request support via email and it absolutely saved what could have been an overwhelmingly negative experience. I tore the entire rig down and counted exactly (by the instructions) what was missing. None of my measuring tapes showed mm so I had to bust out the slide caliper and measure every bolt. I spoke with Edvin and he personally took down my missing parts and shipped the missing hardware the next day. I wish it had been overnight, but it got here either way.
I had the same issues with the instructions saying one thing, but in reality being completely wrong. The CSL DD mount only needed 1 plate per side. I am assuming that the included CSL DD mount instructions were copy/pasted from the wider profile TR160 and not edited.
Barely started the vid but already the background is a huuuuuge improvement dude!!
Haha thanks dude!! I’m so damn glad you like it!! I Wasn’t 100% sure that it would work but I’m stoked you guys like it!
@@KyleSpoor I mean the colour screen was crisp but this just feels a bit more relaxed. Also this style you're doing is amazing mate, a real increase in the quality. Keep up the fantastic work
Thanks so much my man! I appreciate all your help making better content!! ♥️
Bugger, just bought the old "improved front mount version" didn't know this existed, now I know why it was on offer. That looks great.
Oh damn! It does look fantastic!! The other mount is also great! I have a video on that one as well!
Kyle. They have changed it again. It’s now height adjustable now. Much bigger and the bolt holes are now on top of the extrusion slits.
Can you adjust the wheel hight?
What bolts did you use to attach the wheelbase? The 20mm (included) M6 ones don't seem to be long enough...
Great video by the way!
Hey mate! I ended up using some 25mm hex crews and the t-nuts that came with my some rig. 😄
Did you use M6 that fits the fanatec t nuts.. or use other t nuts? The ones coming with the RIG are not steady in my GT DD pro wheelbase so using the Fanatec originals seems the only option?
By the way, great reviews and cool looking sim room
Thanks dude!! I really appreciate that 😄 happy you like it
How long are the mounting bolts for the base? I’m trying to pregame my installation. M6 using the t nuts that come with the base?
Yea dude You can either use the ones that came with the base or you can use the same T- Nuts and bolts that you use for an aluminium profile rig 😄
Can you fit it on a rseat rig?
Love it. Just fitted the old mount with csl dd and cracked my knee off sharp edge first time in my tr160. lol
How long for Uk release please :]
hahaha, it's honestly such a good mount! I'm not sure when they're releasing them in the UK but definitely keep an eye out! its so worth it :D
I need these spacers!
Hi, what is the length of bolts you use to mount the CSL DD onto the wheel mount?
Hey mate! I used some left over bolts I had from building my rig! I slotted T nuts into the CSL DD and then did some trial and error with different bolt sizes 😄
Can I use it for MOZA too?
I installed mine and it still rocks back and forth. Do you just keep tightening and tightening? Did you use the M8 T nuts on the sides of the Fanatec?
Do I add washers on the outside to get it snug? Tightened all the way without them, still allows it to rock.
The new TrakRacer mount looks awesome, great video of the installation process and loving the new video format!!
TR Kyle sent me
I’m so glad you liked it!!! And HOW GOOD DOES IT LOOK 🤤♥️ I’m super happy your liking the new content! And Thankyou for your feedback it means a lot!
Well done! It seems that this cannot be purchased for those of us in the States. I really disliked the Trak Racer DD mount, so I bought the SIMCORE CSL DD mount for the TR160 and it is also fantastic. I do love the red anodized parts!
Ahhh gotcha! I’m not sure what availability’s like in the US but I’ve been using this mount for the last month and I’m genuinely so impressed with how good it is! Super solid and it makes the sim look so much nicer!
To revive an old comment...this red/black mount IS now available in the states (I just got one).
Thanks for the update dude!!
I have the old mount with my dd1 on my tr80, is this much better and worth the upgrade??
Hey bro! To be honest with you I think it is. I feel like it’s much sturdier and a cleaner look 😄
hey. i have the same mount for my base ( Fanatec CSL dd 8nm), but it has to much space. I can´t fit my wheelbase into the direct drive mount.
Hey mate! You may need to grab some spacers to go in between the mount and the wheel base. I think Trakracer have them on the website or you can get them from your local hardware store ☺️
I think this is why TR included 4 of the black spacer mounts. In very fine print it says for CSL DD to use 4 of them.
@@KyleSpoordid you resolve this? Got my rig through, TR80, with the TR one mount and recline seat, frustratingly, they have delivered part 2 and part 3 of the TR80 and I can't commence the build until I receive part 1. Order is supposedly fulfilled but have messaged them. In the meantime I am trying to get as much as I can built. Not sure of the mounting. I have a CSL DD, do I need spacers in addition to the 4 plates or will the 4 plates be fine?
How tall are you exactly? I'm 1,96m and I'm worried that the TR160 uprights will be too short for me and the wheelbase too low consequently.
I’m 199cm and it’s perfect! You have to bring the side mount parts to the very top of the tr160 uprights to make sure you have enough space but it feels really good to me!
@@KyleSpoor First, thank you very much for responding, thats awesome!
What about the seat profiles, have you lowered the seat too? Currently the uprights are my biggest concern, theyre 780mm and the bottom profiles are 160mm, that means they uprights "only" provide 620mm in height.
Oh dude, anytime!
I haven’t personally changed the height of the seat, I thought about it but didn’t feel like I needed the extra headaches haha. So far I haven’t had issues with the heights of things and I find it pretty comfortable 😄
I’m wondering about all the mounting configurations, front, side, bottom… what are the pros and con?
Hey dude! I’m not 100% sure of what the pros and cons are to be honest! I have mine mounted from both sides and it’s been perfect! I’ve also seen quite a few people use the table mount for the CSL DD and it seems to be quite stable. I assume it would just depend on what mounting position best suits you 😄 like I said I have mine side mounted and it’s been perfect!
@@KyleSpoor I did some more research but all I got was the angle adjustment to better suit the driving position, but thats about it and the rest is beauty. There's not many options here in Thailand to choose from, most are table configuration. Though there are those front and side mounting available as options, but I may not know other benefits of it.
Ahhh gotcha! To be honest with you I think whatever suits your setup and whatever you can get your hands on will suit! I’d go with what ever is available to you! I don’t think there would be many pro or con differences if you have limited options 😄
Looking sweet. I want those spacers for my CSL DD instead of the ugly white nylon spacers I bought from the hardware store. Lol
Hahaha dude it looks so damn good! Even better in person 🤤😂 haha the nylon spacers seem like a super smart idea 😅
“slight angle”!? It’s like a bus wheel
😂 haha I laughed harder at this then I should have
You only have 1k subs??????!!!!!! whuuuuuttttt
Hahaha I’ll take that as a compliment 😅
Looks very much like the Simlab mount to me
I’m not familiar with the sim lab stuff but I’m super happy with the way Trakracer pulled this together!
