HandlevsTR Move Pivot Point and Mounting Plate for Motion Rigs

The Bottom Line

While both options sit at the ten-dollar mark, one is a simple ergonomic lifesaver for any aluminum cockpit, while the other is a highly specialized bracket built for motion-rig integration. Choosing between them depends entirely on whether you need to ease ingress and egress or mount heavy-duty motion hardware.

Note

The Trak Racer mounting plate is heavily optimized for D-BOX actuators. If you plan to use other motion systems, expect to do some custom drilling and fabrication.

Why choose Handle

9.0
Value Rating

  • It provides a sturdy metal grip that prevents guests from damaging your expensive wheelbase when climbing into deep bucket seats.
  • It mounts effortlessly to standard aluminum extrusion profiles using basic M6 or M8 hardware.

Why choose TR Move Pivot Point and Mounting Plate for Motion Rigs

7.0
Value Rating

  • It offers a solid, well-constructed foundation that extends wider than the chassis to add stability to rigs like the TR8 Pro.
  • It provides direct, native compatibility for D-BOX motion actuators on supported platforms.

The Verdict

If you just want to protect your steering wheel from being used as a hoist, the simple grab handle is an essential, cheap upgrade for any profile rig. However, if you are building out a dedicated D-BOX motion setup, the Trak Racer plate is the correct structural component for the job.
