- I've been using my Trak Racer RS6 now for 6 months so I thought I'd talk about my experiences so far with it, what I like and what I don't like. I've had a bit of a rocky 6 months with the rig but that's all the spoilers you will get.

About The Channel:
I love all kinds of motorsport and started making sim racing content to live out my dream of becoming a racing driver but for a lot cheaper and less dangerous. The channel is going to cover everything from competitive sim racing to hotlaps but also other fun stuff like silly challenges and maybe even some IRL racing.
#simracing #TrakRacer #Review
your seat is definitely mounted incorrectly. please use actual bolts that are properly torqued
I know I know my seat is also not the right fit for the sliding bracket
I have a Svive racing d1 tube cockpit and I also have a bit of flex/movement in the seat slider part. It started doing it after a couple of weeks. I fixed it by putting some rubber washer in between where the seat slider meets the rig itself. I Just cut them to size and pushed them in there.
honestly I've put as many washers and rubber fixings as I can and i've still got so much flex its frustrating
@@GavinNaylor Yeah your flex looks much worse, and it's a real shame because the rig looks fairly solid otherwise. Do you know there is an updated version of the tr8 out now, the tr8 pro? It looks super solid.
@@haraldjohansen1867 yeah i really do like this rig its great its just that flex that ruins it, I've seen the TR8 pro it looks mega
@@GavinNaylor One shop just started selling both the rs6 and the tr8 here in Norway and I was considering the rs6, but after your review I think spending a bit extra for the tr8 would be my best move.
I like how you blame the rig for the seat moving but you're doing some dodgy mount to get it on there
Very true
Thanks for this awesome review! I was just about to pull the trigger on this rig and decided to go up to the 80/20 rig.
Glad I could help!
Not sure what version of Rs6 you got? cuz my Rs6 mk 2 with Trak racer seat is rock solid (mount 1 buttkicker behind seat and 1 on chassis). Only flex i find out is pedal mount. Equipment is DD1 and V3 pedal
I've got the exact same one, have you got the seat slider on yours as well? Thats literally where all the flex comes from on mine
I’m thinking about getting the RS6. Do you think if I buy a chair from them along with the RS6 and maybe a bigger mounting plate for shifter and e brake, running CSL DD 8 nm and V2 pedals it would be solid?
If you remove the hand break is the shifter more rigid? They have an add on that’s meant to provide a second platform for your hand break / shifter.
As you’ve got it set up it looks like your hand break hangs over the front, providing a huge amount of leverage and off center weight.
Yeah it's just a spacing issue to be honest I wish the standard plate was just a bit bigger, I've currently got it set up with the hand brake off to the side to the stain isn't that much which works a lot better
@@GavinNaylor Thank you for the update and insight! Very few reviews of this cockpit are up so I really appreciate you taking the time!
@@piedpiper1172 No worries just trying to do what I can to help, I think even though I've now had this for a year i do love it but i wouldn't 100% reccomend it now
Just my 2 cents on you seat problem.
1) Is that a rubber/foam pad between the bracket and slider? Was that included with the rig?
2) The rear eyelet screw is not providing any tension, consider getting appropriate fasteners in the correct length.
Both 1 and 2 could contribute to the flex/wobble problem, and 2 could be the cause of the squeaking issue.
Hope this helps.
This is super helpful! Thank you so much
Why are you using eyebolts? A standard bolt and washer would work much better.
If the tips help, please release a follow-up.
@@onecjwilly you make a very good point about the eyebolts if i change it I'll do an update, currently the rig is disassembled
Keep going gavin
Thank you! I will
My left slider bracket came loose after a couple months of use. They come premounted from the factory. I took off the Trak racer plate and tightened it down and I was good to go again!
Interesting maybe i'll give that a go
So if I actually bought a seat with from TR and a bigger shift plate with 8 nm would be a good setup otherwise?
I would think so
why don't you remove the slider and fix the seat directly to the frame
because then i'd lose the ability to move the seat
TR 80 lite looks like a nice pick.
It does indeed
What about the tr8 pro?
@@xl1757 Looks cool but I've not had a chance to try it out
Which model is this? Mk1, mk2, mk3?
MK3
