Thrustmaster TSS Handbrake Sparco Mod Review

[@Willbatross_]

"My marriage has survived another run in with Sim racing hardware" Brilliant

[@JustinWoo]

Literally full throated guffaw when I heard this line, and I came to the comments to post pretty much exactly what you did. :)

[@ice_wolf76]

"My marriage has survived another run in with Sim racing hardware" that line got me to sub! great video:D

[@grrinc]

Thanks Chris. This couldn't be a more timely review. I'm a desk bound racer and looking to invest in a new h shifter and handbrake set up. This looks spot on - especially since my IKEA desk has a very thick worktop. The whole kit and mounting system looks like a winner. Fantastic video as usual, and I'm glad your missus still tolerates you.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Thanks for the first rate review Chris. This looks like a very nice piece of kit.

[@zerobandwidth]

That mechanical "kachunk, kachunk" on the open mic at the end sounds nice and beefy. It certainly gives at least the strong impression of solid quality.

[@Retrogamer71]

Very timely for my consideration having recently bought the shifter.

[@truefoxxx]

Nice review as always...thanks. ( Good job on the RD ACC broadcast aswell btw ) : )

[@ChrisHaye]

Thanks dude - much appreciated :)

[@ptgw4rlock956]

I'm in love with that rim tho!!!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Fantastic edit like usual Chris. I use a flight stick for a handbrake. lol

[@ChrisHaye]

Heh, that's not a bad shout actually.

[@gonzo3915]

Me too, just picked up a TSPC for 200 Quid as well, time to retire the T500.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

@@gonzo3915 T flight 1600M, here it has been good to me . As well as my lil g29 . I would like to upgrade but i will make due for now.

[@wenethmoon6587]

Why have I not thought of this before ahahahah such a cheeky work around while I wait for mine to get delivered 😂

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

@@wenethmoon6587 I also used it to create hand controls for a friend without the use of his legs. it can be the brake and throttle as well as the trigger being downshifted. so you can one hand the wheel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJyTi4lrZbN-j7M

[@r0q]

Sim Racing Garage is an absolutely fantastic channel and one every sim racer should be following if you enjoyed detailed, technical breakdowns and disassembly videos. +1!

[@therobloxscripter6194]

Congrats on 100K subscribers!

[@potatismannen123]

How do you mount it on a playseat evolution

[@amirpenkar947]

Would you recommend the clamp on a GT omega racing wheel stand gear shift mount?

[@CdH94]

Man, that REALLY beats fiddling with the th8 to use as a handbrake.

[@TurnRacing]

Production value wow

[@alphalobster8021]

Great review Chris. As and when I sort out a perma rig, that will be a must buy. But not sure it would work well with my Playseat deckchair.

[@ChrisHaye]

Set up track IR and use your head to brake mate!

[@alphalobster8021]

@@ChrisHaye I am almost tempted to try this...almost.

[@denyboy97]

Just bought one for my Playseat challenge, Lowdownshifter.co.uk make some awesome mounting hardware for the playseat challenge. The best on the market in my opinion for the set up

[@OneRedKraken]

Does the handbrake come with that mount showcased in your video? Look amazing

[@-fatal-]

No, it's a separate purchase.

[@Bear-dt6ip]

Just interested, i know this is an old video but what is an example of a really high end sequential shifter

[@billygames7107]

This one or fanatec

[@youngganghis5236]

Aoglogs(not sure if it's correctly typed) under 200 and outstanding, just check boosted media review

[@paulenglish5232]

Hi there does it work with th8 shifter?

[@simracingauthority7538]

Great review Chris :) And good to see TM upping their game. However, I'll leave it here by just saying AIOLOGS ;D Highly highly recommended.

[@kacpertracz849]

Will it work with xbox series x?

[@m20fuzzle36]

Yes. I use a tx wheel and shifter and TSS handbrake connected to a SIM hub Make sure you update all firmware before using

[@tohmastom]

Is it normal for pushing forward on the shifter to bring you down a gear? I always figured moving the shifter forward would bring you up a gear not down one. It feels confusing to me.

[@KubiROCKETMAN]

Very very nice video of this handbrake!

[@CharlesK441]

This looks awesome!!

[@SpideyPlayzFN]

Does it work with the g920 wheel?

[@gloriosatierra]

Is it possible to use the handbrake and the H shifter at the same time?

[@jamiedh3036]

Mrs H is a gem! Or have you had to negotiate a Jimmy Choo account? 😂

[@Brennen_Teague]

Can the TSS spar I handbrake only work for thrustmaster products or can you use it on a fanatic wheel and wheel base?

[@eriknaamot]

Amazing review :)

[@DaddyCRUDE]

Great video, I'm keen on one of these after owning the Fanatec clubsport handbrake for some years. I love that you can switch between handbrake and sequential shifting.

[@lynx7575]

Waiting for more videos to come

[@cosmixz6934]

Quick question, can i use this on my PS4 with the logitech g29?

[@NakariShiro]

With a Drivehub, you can

[@nicofries3209]

If I plug it in to my Xbox thrust master base will it work

[@brandonhayes161]

Thank you for the video! How is the Racing Clamp?! I am not sure if the bracket is tough enough to use the shiftier without it wobbling all over the place by the looks of it

[@seanvandromme1347]

the thing ware the handbrake is instald wat is the name of it ?

[@SebiStr99]

I have the fanatec shifter and it's INSANE how well it feels... It feels perfect in sequential mode and better than any car I've driven so far in H-pattern mode (granted, I haven't driven any real nice cars so far). It's all metal construction and is one heavy piece of gear that can really take a beating. Just know that you have to havea sturdy rig (or desk with the table clamp, which works pretty well) in order to put it to good use...

[@TomSerious]

Nice thanks for the review! What is the program or sim @ 2:04 ?? Thanks!

[@darkarch1998]

[@caulkinsmoulgin7446]

What wheels are comparable with this handbrake?

[@mavos1211]

Great video thank you. If you could enter a real race what would you most like to try if you could?

[@aidanbutler9274]

would this work if i had the th8a and the tmx on a playseat alcantara pro using the xbox one ?

[@cbg1992]

What is ur best racing cockpit? I want to buy T-GT, T-LCM PEDALS, HSHIFTER, and this Handbrake as set soon. I still dont know which frame to buy. I am considering Next level racing GTULTIMATEV2. What do you think about my future setup? any recommend changes? thank you

[@jackakascko]

I have the + edition, console compatible with the simhub. Freakin great product, sparco quality.. The seq mode could be better though, more force and more feeling

[@knightnight0237]

How long did it take to ship you simhub? Amazon says 1-3 months...

[@jackakascko]

@@knightnight0237 yeah, getting my hands on a simhub was a pain in the ass.. Only amazon usa sells them, when i ordered one they were out of stock, waited a month till they got them, ordered two, 3 weeks pass and the shipment is lost. A dude called larry from amazon customer service came to the rescue, got it in 7 days.. Oh yeah, thrustmaster support was not of any help, they knew nothing about stock numbers, supply dates, eu availability, zero..

[@knightnight0237]

Jaka Kosmac damn not sure what to do since I bought a week and a half ago and they were in stock. They just won’t ship it yet. They are telling me August 28... should I call amazon? Or email

[@jackakascko]

@@knightnight0237 probably best to 1st contact them through their site and they will come in contact with you, pretty fast in my case. Not sure what could be the hold up being you already made the purchase, maybe they had an issue with stock numbers, could be the country where u are from, etc. Comtact them definetly. And in the meanwhile update each and every component of your setup, wheel, hshifter, handbrake, also the simhub when u get it.. What simracing games do u play, pc and console, just console..

[@mo-johnp3384]

Hey @jack I just got my tssh+ but I can’t get it to work on Xbox one how did u do it?

[@simracingnabani1918]

Can you install this is a real car or is this just for gaming?

[@snakes5506]

Can the Tss handbrake with csl elite from fanatec ? PC version ? i ask because im upgrading to fanatec hardware, i will like to keep the TSS handbrake to use with the fanatec hardware, let know so i can save some money in this new rig next month, thanks for the video !

[@safyplayz]

is it good for drift sims do?

[@EadricRicmund]

Now only if there is a clamp set up where we can get two of these with one as a handbreak and the other as a seq shifter like a real rally car

[@spidermancoolkid12]

Does it work for g920

[@Hello-yp2zg]

I own a g923 on xbox, will this work, does anybody know?

[@davidlacerda6727]

This works on ps5 ????

[@xxovoxx6053]

Can i use it on Xbox thrustmaster rig???

[@billygames7107]

If it’s the version above t150 like equivalent of t300 for Xbox. Not sure what it’s called..then yes.

[@joemama9406]

Mine doesn't work I've tried almost everything does anyone know what I should do

[@FormulaProg]

Could you be a little more specific?

[@sdouglas9690]

Thrustmaster should improve their crappy H-pattern manual shifter. I mean re-design it from scratch.

[@jackakascko]

I agree

[@knightnight0237]

You must’ve never used a logicrap lol

[@darkarch1998]

the th8a is a good starting point, logitech’s is terrible in comparison

[@MrTARIQSs]

@@knightnight0237 Logitech is horrendous, feels like a literal toy.

[@broken1965]

I know what you mean about plastic use, but i must say it gets a bad rap imo. im a CNC machinist an programmer by trade but we must remember todays fiberglass reinforced resins are not our grandfathers plastics. Just like real street cars polypropylene a thermo polymer part, are engineered meticulously an makes sense most of the time per strength, weight and mass prod cost. Thrustmaster makes some of very robust cost effective shifters they take incredible abuse, but like anything it's only as strong as the weakest linkage. lol cheers mate

[@mcnappa828]

still using that shitty DN cable that breaks without doing anything to it...same story with the th8a shifter. had enough of thrustmaster and there shady DIN cable. YES THRUSTMASTER know about the problem but cant be bothered to sort it as they would rather charge you £30 for a replacement cable

[@cargastic5892]

Thrustmaster haters be like bruh it looks like a toaster with a pen in it

[@Im_K4tana]

100 euros for the clamp ... lol suuure
