You would be blown away as a kid to get this as a present. Pedals seem to be intended to be used on a solid flat surface. A solid surface at least at the back where all the force transfers to when pressing them would stop a lot of the flex. Button box needs a little strut bar from the back of it to the wheel base to stop it flexing.

You can take down the brake and throttle cylinder just like the clutch does to stow it down. But you can pull the spring out of the throttle and put washers around the rod to reduce the throw distance, the wheel autocalibrates the 100% input point on every startup, so the physical change is all you need. You can likewise take the two rubber bushings out of the brake cell that compresses the load cell. I replaced one of the rubber bushings with a 2" spring, both for leverage and to get more pedal progression while still having pressure build.

Your big complaint, as far as i can tell, is software and a bit of flimsy design. As much as i understand the perspective of "its 600 dollars", as someone on a logitech g920 this thing looks like it would have been a DREAM first wheel, and a fair upgrade for me even now. Do i want something like a Moza r9? yes Do i have $659.00 PLUS another $45 for a desk clamp PLUS $159 for 2 pedals PLUS $39 for the clutch? oh yea and taxes on top? Not in the slightest. Whereas i can get all of that PLUS a screen and button box (although software limited, i see potential) for $650 in one nice, put together kit, that will probably be expandable in the future. As much as i can only speculate, i would love to see some genuinely low priced, high featured options like this become more common, and supporting this may be the way to start that trend.

I got all that tite, put it back together and the servo part works Great again now. The wheel on the other hand the top shifters still stick with every pull.

The fact you get DD and load cell pedals is incredible value at this price. The button box is kinda just an extra gimmick so it being the weakest part of the bundle isn’t a big deal for me as the rest of the bundle is already great value. I’m a little disappointed though that u frequently compared to the Moza R9 which is both a much more expensive and stronger wheel but never once mentioned the R5 as while it is weaker it’s much closer in price for the same stuff so I feel it should’ve atleast been mentioned. I expects wheels like the R9, CSL DD and Cammus 10 to preform better since they r both higher priced and stronger wheels. Comparing it to the R5 would really put into perspective what sort of value for money you are getting. If a 7.2nm wheel can’t out perform a similarly priced 5nm wheel then it’s really only a good value for Xbox players who don’t want a fanatec. Whereas if it does clearly out perform the R5 than it truly is a great package for the price

Turtle Beach jumping into the DD market, not expected but there are some nice things on this wheel that I like but as I would expect, TB doing TB things, nice idea(s)/attempt but poor execution. I've always ranked TB below Logitech but just above Mad Catz. I'd believe TB had their eyes on the Xbox user who plays Forza. Not a PC player on iRacing or ACC. Sure, newer people to the PC racing scene might jump on this because of price and how easy it is to get (in store like Gamestop rather than waiting for shipping) but this current first gen wheel is not going to challenge any of the normal PC racing players like Fanatec, Moza and others. It's a cheap starter DD wheel targeted at console players and maybe the first time PC people who just moved over from console. I honestly don't expect this wheel to get any better than it is currently. Will seems to be kinda out of his element here with this one. Kinda like a guy that normally reviews $150k sport cars but today has to review a $20k economy car.

The issue for me is there are objectively better alternatives for a similar price. Simple as that. As I said at the start of the video I’m sure it will sell well in retail stores due to it being quite feature rich compared to the alternatives you find in retail stores. I think they know exactly who they’re targeting and you’re spot on.

so basically, in australia, your better off buying the fanatec csl DD bundle, and chuck in the load cell brake and table stand, and it would still be cheaper and better overall.

Might be a good upgrade from a T300RS

I'm also thinking about that.. but they are still missing a good H/sequential shifter for console use + handbrake So why offering a decent 3 pedal set with clutch.. Maybe the fanatec 500€ bundle is still the better deal

Can Turtle Beach please tell me why the circle in the centre isnt a screen? Could easily show which gear you on or your revs. Missed opportunity in my opinion

seems like the pedals flex more the way you have it hanging over the mounting area. Still not confidence inspiring either way. great review as always

This was clearly built as a console device that's PC-compatible. Not the other way around like other options. For a first step into sim racing it's incredible value for money as a complete package. As an upgrade from another entry level device, I don't think it's worth it. Lots of little, clever innovations throughout the product that I hope other companies copy (the adjustable brake spacing!), but not enough to make it appealing to people on PC. Lots of other options that do everything better than this for marginally more money. I'm interested to set longevity of the device given their company's infamous reputation, and I'm curious to see how this effects pricing at all levels of the market. This is far more stuff for far less than anyone else.

I heard you mention a place to plug in a future handbrake, do you know if there is an upcoming manual gear shifter as well? Feels natural and Logitecal since they have a clutch pedal. A complete bundle would be so compelling (after they improve their FFB of course).

I currently have a Logitech G923 PlayStation edition. I’ve been looking at upgrading to a direct drive wheel. But I want one that can work on PlayStation so I can play GT7. Been looking at both Fan and Moza. Probably end up with something from them.

It seems that logitech could do something good with a 500US G-Standard 5-6NM DD bundle, with a couple of wheels available (gt/f1, drift) and a new shifter and handbrake 👏

Great review. This kit is a joke. So far Moza seems like the best bang for the buck right now. and I can buy it in some electronics online retailers in Norway. I might buy that instead. I was skeptic when I was told about these. Nothing of what I saw there was as surprise to me. Is the wheel base at least mounted via metal or is it mounted to plastic? Or is the plastic just a cover there? At the bottom it looked like it was brass threads. is that the case, are those in the plastic or mounted to the Alu bracket the servo motor is attached to? If it's secured to the plastic this is another failure point.

i got this wheel the day it came out mainly because it's the best DD for xbox. i've had it for a week now and i really like it but i would like to try the moza r3 if it comes out soon
@ViperJon5 ай бұрын
Wrong. The BEST DD wheel for Xbox is the Logitech Pro but it's not cheap. Highest quality around and in stock not like Fanatec junk or Moza's R3 which is a toy that you can't buy.

Man speaking of rotating mass dampening a wheel base, my new asetek button box and round wheel totally deadened my TK wheelbase!!! Bummed me out a little, but it may force me to go on up to the invicta to get what I want out of it eventually haha. I was surprised to find this.. my aliexpress wheel (piece of junk) didn’t do that, of course a basic round wheel with no button box doesn’t do that, and the stock formula wheel doesn’t do that.
@boostedmedia5 ай бұрын
That’s interesting because sure I didn’t find it had a massive impact on our La Prima base. What strength are you running your base at?
@sethdale47215 ай бұрын
I run it at 12nm. I’ve only really used that wheel in any amount that matters on dirt rally 2.0, it just seems a lot less punchy to me if that makes any sense. Strength wise, there’s plenty still.

Which firmware are you using? I noticed at first as you said, it felt muted but i felt a change after an update. But i also raised the strength up slightly.
@b9bot1485 ай бұрын
All the offerings from Moza and Fanetec are made of metal, not plastic. Especially for the pedal sets. I think the pedal tray after time will crack and break eventually because of that plastic flexing back and forth. That bottom piece should have been made out of metal to mount those pedals on and eliminate the flex all together.

I wonder if H patter shifter will come out eventually, I'd like to say yes since it looks like they'll have different wheel rims ?

If it was 15 years ago, i think i would be more excited about this. As a company, i feel they have somewhat let themselves go in terms of build quantity, to the point id say the started out as the benchmark and became a meme for cheap. Unfortunately, while i really want one, i expect in 6 months there will be a few being dumped in the bin due to breaking.
