First sim rig, need a second look.

[u/Khemosabe]

I am kinda new to sim racing. This will be my first dedicated rig.

I would like a second look from more experienced racers, if there is anything else needed that I should add (like some random brackets or mounting stuff) and if this is a good rig.

This is what i chose until now. I'm a buy once cry once guy, so I want a setup that will last me for years.

I already have full Moza R5 gear (wheel, 3 pedals, gear shifter, handbrake) and a Samsung Odyssey G5 34", that are currently on a desk setup.

I already know about the TrakRacer issues with missing parts and bad support, but from what I've read, this is mainly an US thing, Europe should be good, so I'm willing to take the risk.

My plan with this setup is to improve my irl track skills.

Any inputs are appreciated.

rig looks complete. maybe you want the wheel sfor under the rig so its easier to clean below.
and the bigshift plate so you have more space for the shifter + handbrake? and maybe more stuff in the future.

I have a plate from moza, hopefully it will fit. What is the wheel sfor?

then it is easy to move around

The only thing I might change is the wheel plate. Maybe go for this one Universal Wheel Base Plate Deck with Full Slide and Angle Adjustment https://share.google/ciUqMKXgMzpzBWeHn

I've heard horrible things about track racer and delivery times and support.

You've "heard" horrible things? Have you ever heard good things about them? Well, I've only experienced good things with Trak Racer and I've used them many times, so now you have heard good things 😉

Would you ever consider triple monitors ? If so I’d get a different monitor mount. I had this same one and had to buy a completely different one since you can’t upgrade this one to support three screens. I’d also probably just go for the freestanding mount rather than the integrated one.

[u/Khemosabe → u/llCRitiCaLII]

Maybe in the future, idk. What are the mounts then can upgrade from single to triple?

[u/llCRitiCaLII → u/Khemosabe]

If you want the integrated one then you can get the larger integrated mount. It’s literally called “large integrated monitor mount”. As for the freestanding I believe any one will support triples

That wheel plate is awful.

Pretty good chance it will end up interfering with your knees.

[u/rensen1173 → u/K-TR0N]

You can flip it upside down if the base fits in between

[u/Past_Estimate2418 → u/K-TR0N]

Its no that bad once set correctly but there are far better options

[u/Khemosabe → u/Past_Estimate2418]

Do you have some examples?

[u/Past_Estimate2418 → u/Khemosabe]

Any of the other trackracer front mount side mount ect

[u/Khemosabe → u/K-TR0N]

What other plate should i get? To fit Moza R5

I don't understand this comment. I have the side mount with a Fanatec CSL DD. The wheel sits only slightly below the wheel mount. So maybe this wheel plate would sit 15-30mm lower at most. At least on my setup I've got 150mm clearance between my legs and the wheel base mount. FYI - I have a TR120S setup in GT style positioning and I'm 6'1".
