thank you its so hard to find anything for simracing thats not over 500 or made by fanatec

i mean you could get the g923 for 300 dollars and add a 80 dollar mod and there you go

This is the link for the g923 mod it is really great for f1 sim racing - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5eYZYGcbbd8jdU

[@izumadodoesstuffinc.6917]

Honestly the Logitech wheels are rubbish

[@paulcarmi8130]

@@izumadodoesstuffinc.6917 I love my g920, going strong well over a year now!

[@Kazuron]

I know this stuff isn't exactly dirt cheap to produce, but my "insane price gouging to take advantage of a diehard fan-base" senses are tingling when it comes to racing sim gear. I can almost guarantee they have a massive profit margin on every single product.

[@AcD420]

I agree. However you have to remember that producing just one wheel with all factories set up might be like 10$. There have been put in a loooot of money for rnd in order to make the wheels and tech that goes into wheels and pedals. So while one wheelbase might cost them 10$ now, it have might cost them millions to get there, and as a consumer, you have to pay for that. Also it will take some time for them selling their new product before they are even, so products will never sell good enough to break even and others will bring in 1000x what was spend on the total production and research of it. So yeah it might be overpriced looking at what one wheel will cost to produce after it’s been in production for 6 years, but there were also years before they started selling them where they only made a loss on the product

[@ChinchillaisGod]

@@AcD420 I agree. I think the only wheel that cost a decent chunk of money to make was the SF1000, as it is made with real carbon fiber and has a lot of electronic features within it. Other than that, it probably does cost $10-20 to make any T series wheel.

T300RS GT is the best value by far, especially if you can find with a discount. I bought mine new for 330 bucks

[@drizzdrazz]

i just got the G920 with shifter and a separate e brake from amazon, all for 345, legit saved over 500 dollars, honestly really the only thing i can say about the thrustmaster "equal" is that its belt driven, which ive never used but is probably a hell of a lot quieter then the clunking of these gears, tho i do enjoy the way this wheel feels regardless

[@brett3612]

great video. i have the t150rs. its great for what i need it to do. im only a casual fan of sim racing so its there for when i feel like it, but it doesnt take up much room, and its cheap.

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

after owning a t500rs for over 5 years now, i have to say it's a great mid-tier wheel if you can find one second hand and most certainly worth taking a look at. crisp FFB and 900 degree rotation, coupled with a decent set of pedal that can be inverted to a hanging GT-style setup. you can also find a 70mm adapter to mount any aftermarket sport steering wheel to the t500 base, losing al the buttons tho but having a 300mm wheel instead of the tiny stock wheel has made it feel a lot more realistic imho. my wheel and pedals are mounted to a selfmade metal cockpit that i cobbled together with a 100 dollar trip to the local hardware store, and using an old car seat i got for free at the local dump. i've also put small caster wheel under the entire cockpit so i can wheel it out of the way whenever i use my computer for other games than racing.

[@callumwilliams2730]

When he said the T-GT wheel was expensive, probably just price inflation on an old product and not worth it I died inside. It’s the best wheel Thrustmaster sell at the time and it’s amazing but when unnoticed.

[@alec7568]

I've been using the tx xw with the sparco wheel for a while now and love it. it's no direct drive wheel but it blows anything gear driven completely out of the water.

[@alexsp7086]

Its better in some places than a DD wheel. For instance it actually feels more like areal car. The DD wheels feel like nice ice skates on a new ice ring.

[@aineshraunak8758]

This Channel is underrated AF !!

[@alejogs500]

I've owned two Thrustmaster tx Wich delivered good force feedback and good racing experience... While they lasted. Unfortunately both bases died after les than 500h of non intensive use. After being frustrated for the poor reliability decided to buy a Logitech g923, and it worked fine and prove to be much more reliable and durable, but it's force feedback was a big step down compared with the Thrustmaster tx. Finally decided to get a fanatec csl dd and I'm really impressed with it's ffb and general quality. A much better experience and in my opinion it's totally worth the price tag.

[@Mr.Morale7]

Nice, this will come in handy when I get my hands on Gran Turismo

[@daveh1266]

I was literally just looking at Thrustmaster gear today lol. Thanks for the upload! I didn't even know about the TSS Handbrake Sparco Mod.

Thank you. This helps a lot. Looking at Facebook market place is confusing not knowing if you are getting a good deal or not.

[@Unboundiing]

I have the TMX force feedback, and I recommend it as a starting wheel, I really wouldn’t go cheaper, but this is a decent setup. The pedals are very lacking though, if you get the pro, they will enjoy it much more. But I do believe there is better options because every upgrade I would get for the wheel is expensive, 150 dollar pedals if i want them metal and a clutch, 100-150 for a H shifter, and idk what I could use for an ebrake

[@Unboundiing]

The pedals on it are okay but still reaaallly crappy, they get absolutely zero grip on anything, it forced me to hard mount them to a crappy cheap stand I got, probably going to get a cockpit soon though,

Amazing vid thanks a lot for the info. In terms of pedals and wheel bases what do you think goes best for an F1 based setup?

[@lucagubernati4695]

Quite recent publishied video. I don't know when new thrustmaster came out, but there is T248 now with magnetic pedals. On the other hand, T300 supposed to be better wheel has generic pedals like the T150 pro. Also dutiful to remind that hub, handbrake/shifter and led display holder are not compatible with wheels below T300. As a matter of fact hub is required to use both handbrake/shifter and regular shifter on compatible wheel, a single add on won't require the hub.

[@lws9254]

[@OCRacing]

Glad it helped 🙏

[@ahab9712]

To be honest you can race even at high levels without force feedback. If you've never used ff before you can get used to non ff wheels pretty easily. You just go off of revs, audio and visual cues rather than feel. I know it sounds weird but muscle memory works with anything. ff helps immersion but lap times won't change although if your not used to non ff it can be hard to find the limits which obviously will hinder your lap times until you get the muscle memory down.

[@pikkyuukyuun4741]

As far as I understand, the TS-XW, T-GT, & TS-PC are pretty much the same wheel bases internally. I had a G27 that I used for GT5 and GT6, and I always wanted a T500RS because I used one in a tournament and couldn't believe how much better it is compared to the G27. I would love to buy a T-GT, but availability of sim racing gear here in Mexico is not great, so I will have to settle for the GT Kit of the T300RS. I'm literally just patiently waiting to see if Thrustmaster will release a new version or a new wheel base for the PS5 and GT7.

Is it a good idea to start on the cheaper ones and then by upgrades for it or just buying whole new one that’s better

[@Verklunkenzwiebel]

There's a couple of ways to look at this. A crappy wheel might give you a less than positive overall enjoyment of sim racing/rallying. A good wheel in conjunction with either a good PC or Playstation 4 will give you much more. I went for a T300S that has a decent Feedback and overall good performance (on my PS4). Then add the hours spent with it, and compare the cost of the wheel with what spending the same amount of hours in an amusement park. You'll find that the $ per hour spent is in favour of the wheel. And since this wheel will give you a fair bit of enjoyment chances are that you'll keep on using it, which works in your favour. Both in pleasure as well as cost for amusement (per hour) you'll find it's worth the investment. So what if you start from the steep end, and get yourself a Fenetec with all the thrills and spills? Well of course you can do that, but you then have committed yourself in getting bang for your bucks. This may pan out just fine, and a new pro sim racer is in the making. But the seating position may become an issue quickly. The coffee table holding your wheel base and driving from the couch won't cut it. A sim-rig provides more stability to counter the forces a genetic base is capable of delivering. So add 350+ for a decent rig on top of a fenetec set. Hmm. So there's the up fromt choice on investment you would think through. I added a simple wheel stand (angular steel tubing bolted together) to my T300s which got me going. Been using that for over a year now. Thinking about an upgrade to a decent sim-rig. Once I notice the wheel starts slowing my progression I might upgrade to a fenetec, but I'm not there by a long shot yet.

Solid video ! are these T-LCM pedals compatible with ps5? I recently bought the T-LCM, T300 base with TM open wheel for f1 2021. How is the setup?

[@OCRacing]

I believe the T-LCMs should work with PS5 although I’m not 100% sure. That’s an incredible lineup of gear! Enjoy and let me know what you think of it 👍

I used to have a 458 spider wheel.

[@harrythezomby]

Im pretty sure a recent windows update broke the 458 italia on pc but idk i just kept getting black screens and my gpu driver would get messed up if i plugged mine in

[@brodieloftus7511]

Could you pleaaaseee review the t300rs GT edition

[@dougroberts3840]

[@OCRacing]

👍👍

[@ryannitoi2993]

Love the video but some of the years are wrong. I bought the T3PA’s back in 2019 so it’s not possible for it to be put in 2020 lol

[@OCRacing]

Ok! Weird, sorry about that. Might have gotten confused with the T-LCM’s when I made it 🧐

[@enoopheno2023]

Im thinking about buying the TX servo base but also the TS XW for Xbox, i only cant decide. Which one would you recommend?

[@OCRacing]

Highly recommend the TS-XW. I have a review on it as well.

[@mahmoud-khaled-abo-elmagd]

Epic video

[@OCRacing]

Thanks! A similar video explaining Fanatecs ecosystem will be coming out soon.

[@tahzib1451]

which wheelbase should be used for the SF1000 wheel?

[@ForHey-kv6zh]

I would like to start sim racing but I have no idea what wheel to get. What can you recommend for a beginner wheel

[@anthonysmith8178]

I know they made a T 100. As you would imagine it was priced between the 80 and 150 and was ffb! I looked everywhere for one for sale, being it was perfectly priced for me att, but no luck. Maybe it was unreliable so they stopped making it?

[@OCRacing]

Interesting! Never heard of it before

[@FriendlyPCGamers]

Is this PPT of Thrustmaster catalogue available on their website, with voiceover where i cant understand 458 488
