Your Fanatec wheel with the Alpine sticker as well as those pedals matches this cockpit so well 😂👍

Nice! I’ve been wanting a review of this Cockpit for a while!

Yoooo, that intro cinematic was really sick

how tf do you not have like 1M subs

Not gona lie, looking at the flex, my fgt is amazing

Nice vid keep up the good work

What's your shifter? Is it strong?

10 grands? Congratulations on filling Chapter 7 bankruptcy

Hi

Algorithm

Bro made a thirst trap on this cockpit for the intro and thought we wouldn't notice. 💀

I bought this rig. Do not buy this if you are a serious driver and practice daily. It is not rigid, it squeaks. I wanted an upgrade from the entry level playseat thought the look was great and might be more rigid. I was wrong! I immediately ordered the playseat Intelligence. It’s more expensive but you can’t go wrong with playseat.

Ooft, I look forward to trying this out myself very shortly! Good to see a decent review up finally!!

While I love my trx the flex in the pedal deck is inexcusable. This rig was tested over and over again. The side plates holding the pedal deck are too thin and they are what flex. If they had added 2mm in thickness this problem would vanish. I even went so far as to email trakracer and ask them if they intend on making thicker ones or if I could get one made from them. They politely told me no. Yes the pedal flex is very noticeable when you have at their highest point or are running in the F1 position. It's unacceptable for the cost of this rig. There's little to no flex when placed in the lowest position. The steering flex is noticeable when at a stand still but disappears once you start driving.

Dad “come help the cat is on fire!” Me “but OC Racing just released a new video…”

I have the same setup but in blue. For the price, this thing feels like trash. At a distance it looks fantastic just don't look at it closely or touch it. The whole thing is covered in paint overspray and even the threads were painted and needed to be chased with a tap. They even left the round stickers (presumably designating the part number) on the tubes and painted over them. The Alpine graphics on the seat were poorly applied with wrinkles everywhere and they were also torn in shipping. Along with numerous scratches on other parts due to poor packaging. Enough about the cosmetics and poor QC. Let's talk about how well it works. This rig feels flimsy. Whether climbing into the rig, steering or pressing the pedals, everything moves when pressure is applied. Trying to get it to work properly with a Logitech G Pro wheel was a challenge. The original universal mount didn't work at all. I had to purchase version 2 and cobble it together. The brackets don't provide the correct range of motion to fit me for a GT position. Either the steering wheel is at the right height and the brackets protrude so low that they hit your knees or flip the brackets over to save your knees but now the top of the wheel is at the height of my nose. There is not a configuration that fits in the middle. I can't tell you how many times I've disassembled and reassembled the rig in different configurations to try to find something that works. I have a hard time believing that the Alpine F1 team had any input into designing this. I'd be truly embarrassed to put my name on it. This is just a prime example of marketing BS. Climb into any home built race prepped street car like a NA Spec Miata, which is a total limp noodle, and it feels like Fort Knox in comparison to this Harbor Freight knock off. Also the ergonomics are spot on where as this rig always feels compromised. Just as a point of reference, a roll cage, seat and brackets for a real car cost about the same as this rig. This product was overhyped and seriously under delivers. Wish I could get my money back.

Still overpriced imo (i would buy it if i wasn't broke)

Your alpine steering wheel matches it perfectly

Great video as always oc racing this cockpit looks insane

I just picked up a Black TRX used on FB Marketplace for $900. It came with the seat, single monitor mount and shifter mount! I paired it with a Moza R9 base RS V2 Wheel and SR-P Pedals($600 again on FB M). Wow I'm in love with a Sim Rig! I have just $1500 invested in it so far. Still plan on getting Moza shifter, Handbrake and Trak Racer Keyboard/Mouse mount. In all I will have an amazing Mid-Range setup for under $2k not including monitor or PC. Right now I'm rocking a 32" curved VA 165HZ panel. Not sure if I want a 34" or 49" Ultrawide as the 32 I have already fills my vision with the monitor mount as close to the base as I can get. Any suggestions cons/pros to going with the 49 over the 34 and mounting the 49 further away? Also any discount codes for Moza Racing products? I will be purchasing the shifter/handbrake from Moza directly using your Aff. link!

The pedal deck seems made out of pie pan but it looks like i could easily fabricate some metal onto it and stop it from flexing at all. I just sat in a simlab p1 x at microcenter and i dont understand all the lies out there about them not having flex cause they have it in the pedal deck and the wheel deck mount because i can make both of them flex so i dont get it. It had asetek invicta pedals i need to go back and show it in a video im tired of hearing that aluminum profile rigs are the best when they flex also and they look like a treadmill

People talk about pedal flex but imo its not bad for a floating design and when in use you cant feel it. Also the motion part may be the best imo because its not overly aggresive its just right. And im one who doesnt even like motion rigs! But I would buy this as is without it. I dont think motion rigs or worth getting what so ever. Just like im not into vr. I get people like it but most after a year or 2 go back to normal displays due to adverse effects to eyes and head. Starts getting a bit annoying tbh.

That flex is unacceptable for that price

Bro your nuts for standing on it like that but that definitely shows the strength in a way that i dont think other companies could handle 😂

Do you handle your edits yourself? They're amazing.

This cockpit is on my shortlist along with TR8, RS6, and the Next Level GT Track. This Alpine TRX is by far the best looking obviously due to the blue paint. Lol I'm hoping for a blk Fri sale. 🤞😎

can a Logitech Pro wheel be mounted to this rig out of the box or will extra parts need to be ordered?

Thanks Oscar very nice and have a great long weekend😘👍

After I sell my Playseat Formula Pro Red I'll be looking for a replacement eh! 🇨🇦

Perfect 👍🏾 especially the flex issue as a decent pedal set with additional plate may minimise that

Sad to see that the screen is the wrong height and distance. On everything you show. So why? You can't get it right I guess with TRX. Then there is a lot of flex in TRX and you won't be able to adjust many times before it becomes loose and breaks. Half the price maybe this is worth in my opinion. Since you stand on it has nothing to do with how much movement and shaking this rig gives anyway. Fanatec wheel at 8nm? I feel I had to write this as this is not as good as many people think and not at this high price. Check other tests and you will understand why more.

Do you think the flex in the pedal tray would be improved with pedals that have a baseplate? I'm thinking that MAY add additional rigidity. Just running Logitech Pro setup for now but don't want to regret any purchase if I upgrade in the future.

do you get to keep it

Lack of mounting points for accessories is a deal breaker for me.

great review thanks. helped me to decide not to purchase. had it in a cart and glad i didn't pull the trigger. the flex you demonstrated was enough of a turn off. I have a 23nm base with hydraulic pedals and would likely exclusively play in a GT position. back to shopping I guess.

Hey no rush I’m just curious have you gotten your hands/planning to review the Moza R3? Curious about your perspective. Deciding between that and going fanatec CSL. Have to wait a couple months either way so the wait doesn’t bother me but I’m just curious.

Too much flex with 8nm and pedals. For that price it’s kind of bad. I rather stick with profiles .

I want to be able to quickly adjust so my 8 year old daughter can have a go, looks like a good choice for this!

This seat looks way better than the one I’m seeing on TR’s website. I can’t even find one that looks like this on Google. Is it custom like the steering wheel?

i want to get the same but ist 700 Euro to shipping cost and the thing alone is 1,6k why ist that so they just need it to ship from the Netherland to Germany holy shit

Again, nice editing, but oddly the only product shown in its entirety was the NLR GT elite!

Nice vid apreciate it

What a dream setup! 🔥

“Al-peen”

4:50 The monitors look like they were set up pretty high? Especially when they were set up in a f1 position with the seat inclined (thus further lowering your eye level)

Should add Im 6’4” 230 lbs at 65 plus years old. Lol

love your work keep it up 😁

alpine is trash

i'm sorry but are you on crack!? that intro is BEAST! your video editing is the best in sim reviewing!

F1 engineers lol still crap .. to much movement in it lol. About F1 engineers lol.... be real will ya ...

Yes, the flexing plate under the pedals is really unique :D :D

500 seat too much, 29 seat slider nice but 43e shipping insane

great video, do you recommend this for 2 ppl with different racing styles? f1 and gt

Outstanding editing!!!

Will the Fanatec inverted v3 pedals fit this rig?

looks good but also i can see too much flex, tbh

"Babe oc racing just posted!"

Awesome 😎

Love my TRX!!! Awesome video as usual!!

no one gona talk about the edit like whow😮

Cool concept, but a shame it flexes more than Arnie at Golds gym.

hey man i have a question and it would be amazing if i could get a reply so im having trouble with mounting my wheel plate with my fanatec csl dd it comes with M6 mounting nuts and i need the m8 is that the one your using and how did you mount it because i’m having so much trouble 🥲please help

If it’s designed by race engineers then why has it got so much flex? Especially when you add a manual gear shifter and handbrake.

Would you buy it if you had the money tho

Ordered the TRX over 2 weeks ago "in stock" 5-10 days to deliver and still nothing. Emailed and got automated response saying UP TO 72 hours, got nothing. Emailed again, 5 days later, still nothing. $2,000 purchase and having the worst experience possible with this company BUYERS BEWARE!!!! Soon I'll have to open a case with my credit card company to get my money back. VERY disappointed!!

Your reviews are pretty sick, but how about some more racing content

the review was honestish

Hello

Awesome review

can I buy the motion platform down the line?

What triple monitor tub stand was that? As well as the monitors?

Wow that is really blue 😂 good vid oc!

Is it possible to put the shifter mount on the left side?

Hello!👋

Most annoying music Award goes to you.

I have a question. Are you an alpine esport sponsee driver or is that’s your favorite F1 team.
