I still don’t understand how you don’t have millions of subscribers, you have some of the most quality and informative content I’ve ever seen! Keep in up!!!

[@OCRacing]

Maybe one day! Thanks 🙏

[@slaphead90]

Even the highest sub count simfluencer, JImmy Broadbent, doesn't have a million - Sim racing is just a small niche - the arse end of gaming so to say.

[@Daz555Daz]

78K is HUGE for a sim content channel. Sim racing is a niche genre and the KZbin algorithm treats it like that too.

[@LeviAadland]

@@Daz555Daz but think about like goosiest, gtoofast and those people. I do understand that they don’t just do simple racing but still.

[@Pividol]

Like the other comments have said, there just aren't many people watching sim racing content, especially something as niche as a gt3 wheel rim review

[@thermgraphics6937]

The editing on this review is INSANE!!!!

[@OCRacing]

You already know 🤭

[@blakeo9281]

Agreed! It’s amazing!

[@Thraakull]

I think that medium level wheels that are reasonably priced will be most sold to those who switch to different race categories a lot. And I think that when it comes to sim racing, I think there is a lot of people who after a while go like this: "If only I could fast-swap my wheel rims so that I could do like 20 minutes sessions of rallying, F1, GT3, retro classic cars, GT road cars, ..." Honestly I think it looks great but, BUT, the drink button not having an ability to pour drink - that disappoints me... 🙄

[@THESHADOW97139]

😅

[@Dzul74]

It has an easter egg though, if you press it for 5 sec: "We forgot to connect-eh... You will not have the drink." ;)

[@stuki12]

You’re so underrated, you’re making pretty dope edits there! Keep up the good work lad!

[@felipevimeney5130]

Hey great video first of all. Amazing editing and shots. I have a T300 servo base that I initially used with a Ferrari GTE wheel (similar to the GT wheel 28cm). I decided to buy this Ferrari 488 GT3, but when I installed it in my T300 servo base I could instantly feel a significant loss of force feedback, specially on turns. With my GTE wheel I can clearly feel the car tires resistance against the road surface during a turn, but with the 488 GT3 wheel it became extremely smooth, like almost no resistance at all. I play exclusively on PS5 and that behavior is more present in GT Sport and GT7 games and a bit less on ACC. I had to bump Max torque from 4 to 7-8 in order to start feeling some FFB on turns, but I can still say there's some smoothness. Would you have a chance to compare a rounded 28cm wheel against the Ferrari 488 GT3? I'd love to find more inputs from other customers to more precisely judge if I can potentially have a defective wheel. Thank you in advance

[@apexvisiontv]

I’m sure it would be good with a T818 and SF1000 for GT cars and LMP but I don’t regret switching to Moza. Nice video like always 🔥

[@lor7780]

So they decided to release it when the 488 got replaced by the 296

[@ApexCharles]

Another great video! What mic are you using?

[@Leron_T]

First of all, its better to have a lighter rim for sim racing. You feel more details

[@Jsgeyejsk]

As someone coming from a base t300 wheel this has more buttons and is instantly great edition. More customization for game on console is great. I had to make sacrifices for realism/functionality with stand wheel. I paid what I paid and satisfied

[@Rack_The_Jipper]

Any issues with this wheel and T300 wheel base?

[@Jsgeyejsk]

@@Rack_The_Jipper nope working good still

[@HappyWheelFan2013]

I'm surprised everybody always makes a fuss of the use of plastic. Especially the blend thrustmaster has been using lately. Hell they used plastic in real world transmissions now without issue. It can be nearly as strong as steel

[@THESHADOW97139]

Only regret, no possibility of connecting via USB, with a Moza quick release.... the weight is perfect.

[@j.h.2967]

I love mine, and it works perfectly with ACC! This is my fifth wheel add-on. Thrustmaster should've released this loong time ago!

[@OCRacing]

Glad to hear!

[@mbardos]

Does it squeak at all with the T818?

[@j.h.2967]

@@mbardos Mine is attached to a T300RS base, so I can't give you an answer for that.

[@themrch4oskol206]

​@@mbardosHey, got mine today and attached properly, there is almost no squeek or creak at 80% ffb. During my last stint in acc i maybe noticed a creak twice. In comparison with the leather edition wheel with the quick release adapter, there is like 99% less creak and it feels nice to drive. Just be sure to update the drivers and firmware on the t818.

[@ronny12tech]

I prefer no carbon fiber at all if it looks so basic or bad even when it's fake. Just use some expensive soft-to-touch plastic and leather or brushed metal

[@OCRacing]

Definitely a hot take

[@ronny12tech]

@@OCRacing personal preferences, I guess 😅

[@evoo8214]

absolutely agree

[@bigdoge]

For the price, I think the KS wheel from MOZA is better.

[@OCRacing]

I'll be reviewing that soon!

[@THESHADOW97139]

L`avantage de moza est de pouvoir brancher en usb

[@hecker3459]

Very nice vid man i keep coming back to ur vids

[@OCRacing]

I appreciate it :)

[@domenicoromeo9748]

Hey dude can you review the logitech g pro wheel and can you connect the normal logitech shifter to it

[@coconut_dr9194]

my t300 whelel has starter waring out and some buttons even stopped working. the pedals also squeek so much my ears almost start hurting. and idk if i should upgrade to the fanatec dd r2r bundle or a moza r3. or if i should just get a new wheel rim and see if the pedals are fixable. i am also kind of tight on a budget for a new wheel, so im trying not to buy a 600 dollar setup xD

[@milo_9785]

You just need to relubercate your pedals, for your wheel id just pick up a good condition used one for like £50

[@THESHADOW97139]

Tlcm 😄

[@milo_9785]

@@THESHADOW97139 some nice load cells could help...

[@dragon2knight]

I like it! Looks like a great example of the type. For the money, it's a winner. I love your editing talent Oscar, please keep it up, I look forward to all of your video's 😊

[@OCRacing]

Thanks a lot! More to come :)

I want this wheel when i get a console thrustmaster DD .

[@dmurphy1578]

Once i saw how they use a carbon sticker. I put a carbon sticker on my open wheel add on. New wheel.

[@tomasfaria3346]

Will you continue with the iracing series?

[@OCRacing]

The next video. LETS GO

[@racingmaster45]

Looks really cool! I’d love to get it but at the same time I think I’d rather spend the money on making diy bass shakers for my rig. I recently made a dot rev indicator for my rig so it’s not like I need them on my wheel anymore and my current is holding up fine.

[@REDEEL16]

Do the buttons work onPs5

[@Andybarney555]

Why has nobody.. big sim tubers reviewed this? Big news for there dd and anyone with there stuff. I want one. I have the old one.. no interest in the sf1000 overpriced and creaks. This is solid!!!

[@Khaled.Almarzok]

Does my T300 rs gt will be compatibility with Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel Add-on

[@OCRacing]

Yes

[@Khaled.Almarzok]

@@OCRacing Thanks 👍🏿

[@Drago_fire2164]

Any recommendations on a good direct drive wheel or an upgrade from my logitech g920?

[@mbardos]

I bought a Thrustmaster T818, as I had Thrustmaster wheels already. Good DD bases available from Fanatec and Moza too.

[@FJAD94]

Simagic alpha mini is the best dd of medium range

[@nicobustamante858]

What game do you use?

Why would someone want a wheel from the downgraded car? At least the 488 has the correct cylinder count
