A NEW ERA OF SIM RACING? - Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Drive Review

[@garrettcarper3438]

Man, your review videos are THEE MOST detailed reviews I’ve ever seen! So much info. Thanks for the content. Keep up the great work.

[@RyokoVT]

Check out Barry at Sim Racing Garage if you like to see the internals too! I love watching Boosted for the nitty-gritty on the software and usage, and Barry for the build of the thing.

[@adamshd1]

​@Andybarney555 xbox compatibility is normally added in the wheel not the base so all hope is not lost for Xbox just keeping it under $500 and having compatibility for both consoles seems unrealistic in 2024

[@k.dickie8972]

Even though I know this is not a drive I would be interested in, I'm very impressed at how in depth you looked into this wheel and how fair and unbiased you completed this review. Especially considering the type of high end equipment you get to play with. Great job Will, very professional.

[@coreymorgenstern8065]

This is the best review I have seen so far and I’ve watched every review from every other person that has tried to review this thing

[@karannashine9526]

Awesome review. Just some additional information on the pedals. Thrustmaster have said that a wider plate will be available when the load cell kit comes out

[@EarthIsFlat456]

Yeah the stock plate is definitely way too narrow for a 3-pedal-setup.

[@danielgreensides8463]

Wow another amazing review by Boosted Media. You guys are by far the kings of the Sim racing hardware review space on youtube. Fantastic stuff guys!

[@KarcusKorpse]

Everything he mentioned is spot on from a user that bought it on launch. Bro nailed all the details and nuances that I experienced. He is not a fan of the TM LCM... I can't argue even though that is the best I've used. Good review and the best for new products without bias and he doesn't rush to get the media out there until it is fully tested. I'm sticking with Boosted Media for reviews now.

[@unabletochoose]

Thanks for the review. If I could suggest one "constructive criticism" thing: the black housing with your black T-shirt and black background, with this kind of "insufficient" lighting, it's a little bit hard to see the details a lot of the time. If you could make it brighter a little bit that would help.

[@boostedmedia]

Thanks. We got a new camera recently and we’re still experimenting. I agree this one was a bit dark but if we brightened it up in post it looked grainy so we had to roll with it. Will be brighter for the next one.

[@alecmillea4539]

I second this. Love the reviews Will. No one does it better. I have noticed the last few reviews have been a little dark. Glad to hear you'll be brightening things up a bit!

[@bratosin1]

Just get some led lighting in the room​@@boostedmedia

[@danielsquillace5291]

Looks good. Note to table mount users: if your like me and have to pack the wheel away after use you will need to plug in and unplug the pedals with each use. The RJ style plug for the pedals have a tendancy to fail at the retaining tab that keeps the plug in place and is super annoying to find a way to keep in once the tab fatigues and falls off. Dont know if other manufacterurs use these plugs but minor gripe.

[@DanSRYT]

Great review as always. Would love a detailed video on all the FFB settings ect on DD wheels. Always searching for the “perfect” settings.

[@nickforan]

This was an incredibly helpful video mate. You've confirmed what I was hoping to see from the product. Really appreciate the level of detail and specificity on everything

[@jack4688]

Yes please to a clipping video! It would be good to get a general understanding of what you can do to dial it out that would allow you eliminate it no matter what wheelbase you have

[@thesimcave1340]

Me too, still trying to find the most comfortable settings, I have the TLCMs already so haven’t bothered with the pedals as of yet. The height of the base hasn’t been an issue with me as I have a rig, and I raised my tv stand up a couple inches, but enjoying thus far!

[@theshawnmccown]

When they offer just the base, I'll pick it up. I already have a nice pedal set, and with the adaptor, I can use my current wheel. It will be a nice upgrade from my TS-PC. I hate cogging in wheels, so this will be perfect.

[@joshtonelli3319]

Thanks for the review. I bought mine last week coming from a G29. I wish more companies had DD wheels for PlayStation but i get it. It's a major upgrade from the Logitech for sure. At the price point i am extremely happy with it.

[@cbmurch]

There’s also a QR upgrade available in addition to the QR adapter though showed with the F1 wheel. This is compatible with most wheels in the ecosystem and completely replaces the old threaded connector on the wheel with the new style QR, eliminating the extra flex that comes with the adapter. Also, the load cell kit comes with a wider plate to accommodate 3 pedals.

[@jochenkraus7016]

You mean the SF1000? My latest info is that there's a conversion kit in development and the existing one does work with several other wheels, but not (or not yet) with the SF1000.

Fantastic review Will. I seldom watch an entire product review that I'm not really interested in, at a very late hour. Fantastic coverage and presentation. I don't know if I felt this way because I haven't watched any of your stuff in a while, but it felt like you've improved a lot - not that you were bad at what you do anyway.

[@SlightlyMisunderstood]

Very detailed review... Excellent resource for anyone considering this product. I just recently upgraded so have no plans for this, but I do appreciate the time and effort you've put into such a comprehensive review.

[@Aa-ns7ok]

great review Will, it's good to see more and more hardware being made available for sim racing! 😈

[@Moyersteven1]

I started a few weeks ago. I went from the Logitech G923 to the Thrustmaster T248, was going to get the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Wheel, but got the Thrustmaster T598. It's by far the best. It's super smooth, the FFB is excellent, and the base isn't that big. It looks bigger in the videos than ot actually is. I have my Alienware AW3418DW mounted about 6 inches above my desk and it's perfect. I highly recommend this. The pedals are amazing, too.

[@schrenk-d]

I have G29 ... Looking forward to the Aussie release. (Q1 2025) ... Can't wait.

[@Moyersteven1]

@schrenk-d You're in for a treat. Finished messing with settings again today, and this wheel continues to amaze me. It truly is amazing for the price. And Thrustmaster is coming out with more upgraded stuff and firmware updates for it. Only going to get better.

[@CWHolleman]

Enjoy!...Though I am not sure how much frame of reference you have if you've only been using them for a few weeks.

[@Pustul]

It’s nice to see something different, since direct drive arrived all the new bases are starting to feel like pretty much the same with just the ecosystem making a big difference.

[@hondaboy_jim2514]

Great review, was waiting long for thrustmaster because i'm in there eco system. Few steering wheels, shifter, tlcm pedals. Only my base is still belt t300. I'm thinking of an t818 or this one. Have ps5 and pc but in future only pc.

Subbed! Wicked reviews folks!

[@Derek_Lark]

I was about to put this on pre order to replace my T500 until I watched this. Thanks so much. ACC on PS5 on the T500 is a dog for steering set up and I hoped this would fix it. Need to wait and see if there are upgrades coming or look at Fanatec.

[@skydogfpv]

Appreciate the thorough review, I was hoping to see some direct comparison to the turtlebeach wheel but i understand you can only cram so much into a video. I'm planning on returning the turtlebeach wheel as im worried about its longevity but at its price point im having a hard time finding things i dont like with it. It seems to be an insane value with some little quirks but more importantly a company thats never made sim racing equipment which scares me. I have yet to have any major problems with it after about 25hrs and wondering if maybe I got lucky scored a good working unit, my gut says I should certainly still return it. This really doesnt seem like a better option however.

[@CWHolleman]

Honestly, Id reckon you'd be better off going with a company who already has a long established ecosystem. Thrustmaster, Logitech, Fanatec etc..

Great to see new products. The form factor here is a complete mystery to me though. That wheelbase is going to block the view to a tonne of onscreen UI elements in just about every racing game out there.

[@Sithhy]

Majority of people who buy Logitech & Thrustmaster products play on a console while sitting on a sofa far away from their big TV so the wheelbase size doesn't really matter for them as it doesn't obscure anything

[@oleandreasen]

Great video. I am about to upgrade to a DD wheel, so very interesting to see other options than Fanatec and Moza. Being a non-English speaker, you tend to speak very fast for me to not miss anything, so I viewed this video at .75 speed, which was great for me. SO many details to focus on. Excellent excellent video. I have no experience with any DD wheels. This one comes with a plastic rim - now - are the Fanatec and Moza rims also of plastic? Also you talked about the annoyance - or should I say, the unrealistic ffb with the overshoot function. Can this function be turned off? I am going to watch some more of your videos to compare. I have used anything up to the G29 wheel, so ANY DD wheel will be a massive upgrade for me, but of course I would like to get the best value for my hard earned cash. I have kids with a PlayStation 4, so will this wheel work on the PS4? I myself will only use it on PC, but nice to have both options.

[@Dave062YT]

It will be a good seller for sure but they should've made it 8nm .Anyone with a TGT 2 has 6.8nm so 5 is a step down especially as it doesn't have TDFB [their version of trueforce] Maybe a 8nm booster pack like Fanntec would ve been good .

[@jochenkraus7016]

It's a step down on paper but let's see if it actually is one.

[@awakeandwatching953]

its nt really a replacement for that, its to replace the t300, their more expensive DD base is supposed to replace the tgt 2 but they still haven't sorted out console support for it

[@Dave062YT]

@@awakeandwatching953 Yeah that's a very fair point about t300. i fancied the TM 818 but I bought the Logitec Gpro because Gt7 was my main game and Fannytec were always out of stock so not even an option .So glad I did tho ,what a great wheel .

[@efenba]

It has a builtin boost function.

[@Sithhy]

The T598 does totally have a TDFB-like function but it does that using the motor itself instead of a dedicated transducer

Hey Will, got the T818 and have experience with that crazy stationary vibration. Sadly I forgot which game it was but my take is that it's a Thrustmaster algorithm thing since the T818 is DD drive.

[@MorfiusRacing]

Thanks for the Review nice to see someone knows what they're talking about instead of some channels hype the product up. I currently have the t300 Rs and don't Wana stay on a belt driven wheel base. However this design doesn't give me any excitement to go and buy it. It's way too tall and would get in the way of the screen. Still waiting for Sony to stop cock blocking Moza and get on with allowing Moza and other companies to have console compatibility.

[@RVMartin16]

Great review! Would you choose the 598 over the GT DD Pro?

[@AdamsOlympia]

I would, if I was still in the market for an entry level DD wheel. Fanatec customer service was horribly unresponsive, taking over a month just to get a return started on a faulty GT DD Pro. The USB-C connector in the quick release kept disconnecting while driving, which is a common fault with their design. There are numerous YT videos from people having the same issue.

[@ls_812]

I have used both customer services in the past and both were very helpful with my situation. Both were helping me with products of theirs that I didn't even buy from them, I bought both used. But it's been a couple years since I've needed to contact Fanatec. I just contacted Thrustmaster a couple times in past 6 months and both times they replied within a day.

[@emog7609]

[@elbowsout6301]

GT 7 is notoriously bad for oscillating with DD wheels.

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

I think the deep black background makes your videos really hard to watch, since most simracing gear is black. Your old setup with white walls was way better in this regard.

[@Foxhoundable]

watching your videos, I got into a simagic Ecosystem, love it.

[@joeschmoe5009]

Agreed they need to fix the menu oscillation issue, but just turn friction to high, then theres no oscillation at all in the mean time

[@boostedmedia]

Yep. I mentioned that on the video. Still doesn’t stop a kid turning it off and hurting themselves though.

[@joeschmoe5009]

@boostedmedia thats true, or reseting all settings. I will say, FFB D has friction at mid though, which is good, and where most kids should probably race. But still, they can change the FFB mode too. So thruamaster, fix this now!

[@TeKU78]

Great review! Would you mind sharing some of your settings for different games. I can't find anything online besides GT7. And many of us beginners don't really know to tweak things and it would be nice to have a good starting point on some decent settings, for games like AC, ACC, FM, EA WRC etc.

[@Vishcaff]

Wow so under whelming for us console users glad i went Gpro route years ago

[@vtg1800]

Hmmm the level for adavanced but TGT 2 for expert. Does T598 better then TGT 2?

[@arranmc182]

From the little I know about this type of motor it will be great for wheel with less NM but when you start getting to like 16NM or more the size of the unit would get much bigger, this is not 100% new tech as been used in industrial type gear for years but its sure new to sim racing.

[@jpleezydalegend]

Finally, a worthy upgrade from my T300

[@theoracleprodigy]

I remember spending close to $700 for a full thrustmaster setup and having buttons not function after a year. This looks cheap compared to that set. No thanks.

[@schaki05]

Very nice and detailed review! Well, for me the question would be: t598 or moza r9 for PC ACC? R9+ks wheel is 629€.

[@arthurnunesc]

R9+KS all day, higher torque, better QR, better wheel.

[@maximravinet9950]

No hesitation, thrustmaster is really worthwhile if you can't get anything else (aka you're on console and fanatec is bankrupt)

He did say it would def be an upgrade over any belt or cog wheel. Although I will say the tgt2 is better rn on gt7 but on everything else I find the 598 better. Against the t300 absolutely no question I'd go for it

[@_JoJo1995Cool]

Just remember doesn’t work on ps acc if that’s your go too

[@seanh8095]

I upgraded from a T300 and I have no regrets. This is far more powerful and far more precise, and force feedback feels instant so I can catch slides that I couldn’t before. It also doesn’t lose FFB when it heats up. I’m counting on firmware updates and GT7 support to get the most out of it, but I’m really happy with the upgrade.

I was looking at this pretty earnestly until you showed off that oscillation "feature", I have small children in the house and I wouldn't want a kid coming along and poking the wheel, and then trying to stop it and hurt themselves, so I absolutely understand your concern as a father regarding it. Hopefully they get it fixed and then maybe the wheel will be something I consider.

[@Sithhy]

I mean, the oscillations are not just Thrustmaster's issue, it's pretty much a thing that every direct drive wheelbase does (belt driven as well but not as common). Some manufacturers have somewhat "fixed" the issue on their wheelbases but it still occours on a vast majority of them

49:50 I only have a PS5, and currently only play GT7 on the controller - I'm planning to move to a wheel and rig early next year, and trying my hand at ACC. Hearing that the T598 is terrible on ACC is really disappointing. It probably seals the deal that I'll save some more and go upto the Logitec G-Pro straight off the bat... (unless the Fanatec/Corsair thing sorts itself out in the meantime)

Fanatec/Corsair is straightened out. See Will's conversation with Andy. As for ACC, that game on PS5 is being "replaced" with ACEvo, so I'm not sure why you would consider that the line in the sand.

@doomcue I do need to catch up on that tbh - it's in my 'watch later' list Tbh, I thought AC Evo was running along side ACC - I'm 99% sport mode in GT7 and have little interest in single player content. From what I've seen, AC Evo looks pretty good, and could be a good wake up call for PD and GT7.
