Thank you for the updates. I think i just got bad luck so I just requested the 3rd replacement (3rd times the charm). Wish me luck. I really like this product while it was working.
I have been using a bass shaker (BK+) for a couple years and I really love feeling the engine / gears and curbs letting me know I'm using all the track and hitting my apex's. Looks like a cool set up by TR.
Definitely - it makes you subconsciously make better decisions. You work with the Seat-of-the-Pants feeling and don't just feel with your wrist. Just like real racing drivers do.
The 4 channel Slip Angle kit looks pretty nice. I've heard a lot of people say that more than 2 shakers makes it hard to differentiate the shakers from each other, but maybe Slip Angle's isolators will help with that.
@@AdamsOlympia Check "Nitro Concepts Immersion Metahaptics" - 16 actuators directly in the cushion. You feel it directly on your skin and not indirectly via the Seat shell. This makes a big difference in terms of precision.
@@SarahNocchi I love it. I received everything on Saturday and was able to set it up without any issues. The tactile feedback is powerful and clean, with great adjustability on the amp and in my Simvibe software.
I have their base shaker mount on their TR160 rig with the universal seat mount for my recliner. I have two of the popular Dayton 50w bass shakers on it with a palm sized nobsound mini amp powering them. It works really well (it is quite powerful and makes it feel like you are sitting in a really powerful car when idling). Much like VR via my Quest 3, I don't like driving without them on, it adds so much immersion. I just have engine idle, RPMs, gear shifts and wheel slip turned on in Simhub, as too many effects will just become a muddled mess that doesn't help.
@@SarahNocchi Yes ma'am very helpful. i own a Minneer Rig its not fancy but mounted on springs with 2 of them Shakers will make a ton of difference i think!
can you make another video about that amazing looking blue RTX in the background. I too have the FGT aluminum extrusion rig but I much preferred the look of a tubular rigs.
Hi there - I'm wondering how is this unit is holding up for you? I just went through a 2nd sets within 3 months with only about 10 he's. Per week simm racing. Both time my units were functioning as usual and then there was a single pop sound combing with a burnt electronic smell while the house breaker would jump
Did you get yours to work as a 2 channel system? I have 2 shakers, and it only shakes both with a channel 1 signal, channel 2 does nothing no matter how I hook it up…. Trakracer support said that “oh it’s not actually a 2 channel amp….” So I’m trying to figure out if their advertising is wrong or support is wrong…
I have 1 additional question on this Sarah. Physically on the Amplifier what do you have the High Cutoff Frequency knob set on example 40 or 50Hz and do you have the High Cutoff or Low Cutoff buttons pushed in? Thanks
Just ordered mine along with that lovely seat bracket. Thanks for the awesome vid. Question, can you confirm how the amplifier is connecting to your PC? Is it via USB or 3.5mm?
HI all. I’m having an issue with my audio setup when using the base shaker kit. The issue I have is that I can’t get both the shaker and my wireless headphones working at the same time. I have the shaker unit setup using the 3.5mm jack lead supplied, which is connected to the audio 3.5mm jack supply on the motherboard. Any setup help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Great channel Sarah 👍
Very interesting. My BK has been acting up lately so I might have to try that TR. Btw rigs are never “complete” Sarah. We always find something else to add 😂
All my friends those tried single 57" samsung preferred tripples, i hope next week also will have chance to test it as has 3x32"1440p and just of curiosity want to check this 57" samsung, but do not has big expectations😂
@@amigoz3201 I see everyone running triples but man that seems like a lot , the 57 keeps things a little more simple but anything would be an improvement over the 32 inch I use now lol
@@highvoltagemaverick I am tryin to get an answer to this as well. I only have 1 sound card on my PC now, just set up this kit yesterday and I'll tell you it did not work like Sarah's video shows. I struggled to get this setup in the settings of the PC itself. I am using the USB connector and that USB end gets blister hot plugged into my pc when I use the bass shaker, not sure why it's getting hot like that. I was able to set it up with just the 1 sound card, but the feeling I get from the bass shaker itself on the race track seems to just be one steady vibration and doesn't deviate up and down with the engine RPM, and I mostly feel the deep bass shaking in the corners and not much at all in the straightaways.
Hello - can you please tell me how long it took for that to come in after you ordered it? I ordered the exact one and it's been 15 days and I haven't heard a thing from Trak Racer, no emails or tracking information NOTHING! I think I just got scammed by them! So buyers beware with Trak Racer!
I took about 15 days I believe. Please reach out to Trak Racer about your order. They are usually very responsive and helpful when it comes to that! I have had an order that got stuck in the system once and they fixed it immediately. They definitely are not scammers
Thank you for the updates. I think i just got bad luck so I just requested the 3rd replacement (3rd times the charm). Wish me luck. I really like this product while it was working.
next step is the slip-angle kit for the corners that will add more effects and isolate the vibrations to the rig better

You are right, haptics for sim racing really adds to the immersion. I have one bass shaker on each corner, 4 all up and I think it makes me faster.
Definitely - it makes you subconsciously make better decisions.

Thank you, I appreciate it!
It's definitely worth it ;)

I already did! It was actually my very first TH-cam video ;)
Sarah each day that passes is a day closer for me to get my dream sim 😉 cant wait 😆
You'll get it! And then I'll see you on the track ;)

Id like to see a comparison against iRacings built in lfe vs trak racer software. Usually for a single transducer, built in beats anything
great vdo , can anyone show me the wiring thats goes into the sound card
3:50 where do you connect the stereo cables?

Very true 😂 I spent way too much time looking at what else could be added tbh haha
I'm more interested in how you got audio signal from PC to your amplifier. Did you use a Y splitter?
Great video , what triple monitors would you recommend to get ? Is ultra wide better ?
Merci pour la review
Avec plaisir !
How to use it and a USB Wireless headphone at the same time ?
I got this bass shaker to. Think it’s great but still figuring out what the best settings are. What are yours? I only race ACC.
Good video Sarah 💯👍
Thank you!
You're welcome @@SarahNocchi 🟠
I see you have the other mount and a spare speaker. did you install the two on the sim or no?
J'aime beaucoup ta chaine sarah. Merci.
Merci beaucoup c'est tres gentil !
@@SarahNocchi Félicitations pour la victoire lecrerc à monza. Forza Ferrari.
How did you connect rca cables to pc?
great vid, i'm intrigued to try it out. Also just to let you know so you can change it. in the vid you say part 3, in title it says part 4.
Thank you! And thanks for catching the mistake, unfortunately the error is in the video and not the title haha
@@SarahNocchi Ah no, thought it was the other way around. Just the title
How’s that g9 compare to the triples when racing ?

Hi, can you hooked it to PS5 ?
📝 Another item added to my shopping list for the franken-rig 😂
Must have for sure haha
Would've been good a review to the hf8 too, and what happened to the moza r12? looks like you changed for simagic or simcube not sure..
I haven't tested the hf8, but I'll consider it for a future video ;)
And I have two setups! The Moza R12 is on my TRX rig ;)
Can I ask what the dimensions are of both rigs?
hi, great vid! is this shaker kit "neighbour friendly" :D
@@sincapbeyy exactly! hahaha
@sarah Did your computer recognize the amp??? I just bought this setup and CANNOT get it to work. Help!!
Oh no so sorry to hear! I did not have any issues getting it to work! What seems to be the problem? How did you connect it?
@@SarahNocchi people are saying I need an EXTERNAL sound card, just for the Bass Shaker kit??

@@ericbaker2025 Trak Racer is famous for being terrible at Customer service…… I found out you need an EXTERNAL sound card to make it work.
Where is you're Moza?😮
On my other rig ;)
hi, which headset do u have? i couldnt find it :)
Razor BlackShark V2 Pro ;)

Yes, likely!
How many cockpits do you have? lol😅
I have 2 setups! The TRX - Formula oriented and the TR160S - GT oriented
@@SarahNocchi Nice! Wow I had counted about 4! 🤦♂
Is there a way to connect the bass shaker on both the PS5 and the PC at the same time?
Damn.

Slip Angle 4 corner shaker kit I think is better.
What self-respecting sim-racer doesn't want a vibrating seat?!
