Know before you buy
No, the TR40S bundle includes the aluminum cockpit frame, the MOZA R3 wheel base, and the pedal set, but it does not come with a seat. You will need to purchase a compatible racing seat separately to complete your setup.
The MOZA R3 system included in this bundle is officially licensed for Xbox Series X/S and PC. While the aluminum frame itself is universal, the wheel and pedal electronics are specifically optimized for Xbox and PC platforms.
The TR40S is highly adjustable, featuring a distance-adjustable wheel deck and a pedal plate that can be modified for both angle and distance. This modular design allows you to fine-tune your driving position to suit your specific body type and comfort preferences.
Yes, the TR40S is built on an aluminum extrusion profile, which is the industry standard for modularity. You can easily add accessories like monitor mounts, shifter mounts, or keyboard trays as your sim racing setup evolves.
The MOZA R3 provides 3.9 Nm of torque, which offers a significant step up in precision and detail compared to entry-level gear-driven or belt-driven wheels. It is an excellent starting point for new sim racers looking for authentic force feedback without overwhelming power.
Assembly is required for this cockpit, and you will need basic hand tools to secure the aluminum profile bolts. Trak Racer typically includes the necessary hardware, but having a set of metric hex keys on hand will make the process much smoother.
