Know before you buy
The V5 features thicker aluminum profile walls compared to standard rigs, providing significantly higher rigidity. This extra mass minimizes flex during intense force feedback maneuvers, which is essential for high-end direct drive wheelbases.
The TR One system is designed to be modular and future-proof, supporting most major wheel brands on the market. It allows you to swap out wheel mounts easily without needing to replace the entire rig structure when you upgrade your hardware.
Yes, the TR160 V5 is engineered to be motion-ready. Its robust aluminum construction provides the necessary stability to support various motion actuators and platforms without compromising the structural integrity of the frame.
The pedal mount is fully adjustable in both angle and distance, allowing you to fine-tune your driving position to match real-world race car ergonomics. It is also reinforced to handle the high pressure of load-cell brake pedals without flexing.
The TR160 V5 is typically sold as a chassis-only kit, meaning you will need to provide your own racing seat. However, it includes a Dual-Lock Seat Slider that is compatible with most standard side-mount racing seats.
Yes, the integrated Dual-Lock Seat Slider makes it easy to adjust your seating position quickly. Because the entire rig is built on an aluminum profile system, you can also loosen the bolts to adjust the height and tilt of the wheel and pedal decks to suit different drivers.
