Have been using this rig for a little bit now, assembly was a little bit difficult but as long as you can run a tap through the bolt holes no issues (i had 1 hole i had to chase/re-thread).
Aside from that it has been a very sturdy rig for my use on different sims. There is some flex on the outer portion of the wheeldeck (the tubing) when pushing down but not noticeable when using the rig correctly. Just be careful if you grab the tubing to help yourself out of the rig. I have heard that if you get the single monitor mount it comes with bracing to tie both sides together to eliminate any side to side flex.
I have p700 pedals bolted to the wheel deck and zero noticeable flex even when using the stiffest brake setup - take that for what's it worth - this is using the braced heel rest and bolted down with 6 bolts.
The seat is comfortable - i am a large person and fit in the seat well. There is some flex backwards in the stock seat when pushing hard on the brakes and into the seat but considering my weight this may be expected - i wouldn't worry about it too much as it is only noticeable under heavy brakes.
Overall i am happy with my purchase.

Nickel produit qualité et livraison rapide 📦
Mon premier cockpit j’adore c’est un autre niveau 🤩
Je fais 1,85 m j’ai pas de problème pour m’installer 👍
I was going to buy a profile type SIM rig as I do driving and flight simulation and then I saw this, you can comfortably do both with this setup and it has plenty of extra mounting point on the frame to attach other items too, and the cherry on the cake was it has a built in seat, so you save extra money which we all like ! I was worried that it may not be as good as a standard bucket seat but I can honestly say that it very comfortable. The assembly was straight forward and easy to understand and only took me around one and a half hours. I highly recommend it.
Hey Simon,
Thank you for this fantastic 5-star review!
We're thrilled to hear how well the TR5 is working for both your driving and flight simulation needs. It's awesome that the versatile mounting points on the frame give you that flexibility, and we're so glad the built-in seat is delivering the comfort you were hoping for. It's great to know you're getting excellent value without needing to purchase a separate bucket seat!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing Trak Racer. Hope you enjoy many great sessions across all your simulations! 🏁

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this product. It’s an upgrade to my foldable cockpit and still fits under my desk like the old one. Very solid, no loose parts, and little to no flex on the wheelbase. Assembly is tricky but that’s just the nature of tubular rigs. Love that it allows for add ons like the monitor stand and accessory kit. I’d recommend it
