The Traction Plus motion platform is truly a world class product designed to close that gap between the simulation and reality with a product and experience like no other motion simulator on the market today.
This style simulation technology is usually only ever seen in professional Formula 1 racing teams with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The Traction Plus Motion Platform was designed and developed in collaboration with a world class motion engineering team to deliver an unrivalled motion experience.
To achieve the ultimate simulation realism and precision has required completely unique technology and engineering.
The Traction Plus was designed from the ground up over 4 years and includes over 2000 components. It's vastly more than just a rear traction loss system and was designed to combine with the Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3 to provide a ground breaking motion simulator experience.
More details below. First, here's some of the awesome features packed into the Traction Plus Motion Platform...
Here's how the Traction Plus motion platform can deliver you an unrivalled immersive experience in racing and flight simulation environments...
The Traction Plus Motion Platform moves the whole cockpit and delivers both understeer and oversteer in the most realistic and precise way possible.
Based on feedback from professional drivers during product development, the understeer component of a motion platform which is usually only found in 6DOF systems is absolutely critical in accurately and precisely simulating the vehicle.
Feeling both understeer and oversteer the platform can be used effectively for driver/racer training particularly for cornering and rally. You actually FEEL what is happening with both rear and front of the vehicle.
Even the differences between rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles can be felt with the precise feedback delivered through the Traction Plus platform.
Combined with the Motion Platform V3, you've got a supremely accurate vehicle feedback system for front wheel lock up meaning you will feel vibration as well as the front of the vehicle sliding out of a corner when too much brake pressure is applied. (also applicable for rear wheel lock up depending on vehicle bias)
The Traction Plus combined with the Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3 provides incredible levels of vehicle feedback to the driver to feel exactly what the vehicle is doing by precisely delivering:
As with the Motion Platform V3 that has been used professional aviators including: airline, private, military, and flight training institutions and universities, the Traction Plus Platform can add further realism by allowing the pilot to experience the flight characteristics of the aircraft more realistically.
The Pitch and Roll axis simulation from the Motion Platform V3 is augmented with the Traction Plus to provide the third axis of Yaw to generate an incredibly genuine sensation of flight.
The simulator also replicates the motions of landing gear operation, combat/cannon fire, ground movement, turbulence, and crosswind effects. It can be paired with augmented reality/VR units to create an unparalleled level of realism.
Smoother rudder operation can be trained effectively with the combination of yaw and pivot.
Whether it be for fun, training, or for professional development, the Traction Plus will surely be an important instrument for any aviators journey.
The design, engineering and technology of the Traction Plus is completely ground breaking and you will expect the same level of quality and durability with this product as found with the Motion Platform V3.
Designed and manufactured completely in Europe and powered by MotionSystems, the Traction Plus platform is a world class product.
Also keeping the home user in mind, painstaking engineering has been performed to not only set a benchmark in performance but also make sure the Traction Plus (like the Motion Platform V3) is the quietest motion platform in its class with the smallest footprint possible.
The Traction Plus has been designed, engineered and manufactured to give the most realistic, immersive and accurate simulation experience and delivers a new benchmark in motion simulation experience.
This is not just another actuator solution that simply features adapted actuators used for simulation.
This is a product designed, engineered and manufactured from ground up purely for advanced simulation and professional applications to precisely deliver feedback to the driver or pilot.
As with the Motion Platform V3 The Traction Plus is a product designed for a customer to be able to assemble and setup in their very own home themselves without needing to have a technical background.
The Traction Plus platform comes with clear assembly instructions making setup simple for even a beginner.
The Traction Plus comes complete with click and play Next Level Racing Platform manager software.
This software uses telemetry data to give the most realistic and accurate profile cues.
This is professional grade software developed by world leading motion engineers ensuring absolute precision in delivering feedback from the game, without lag, in real time.
Whilst being professional software it’s designed to be used by even a novice with simple to use dashboard to start your game and being able to change all settings at a click of a button.
For those users that do like getting more hands on with each setting the profiles for the platform are highly customisable.
Having strong relationships with software developers that are behind racing and flight titles this allows constant updates and compatible titles being added to the Next Level Racing Platform manager as new games are released.
The Next Level Racing Traction Plus platform has been engineered using world class motion engineers and manufactured with premium technology and components to give you not only a world class product but one that is reliable and built to perform.
The Next Level Racing motion support team will offer dedicated support for the platform. You can expect outstanding customer service, reliability and constant software updates.

If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
