Thrustmaster Hypercar Wheel Add-On Review - SUPERB Quality for 400 Bucks

[@bruce_pain]

best wheel from thrustmaster in a long time

[@kylemanning193]

i really want this for the T548 :) im excited

[@vjollila96]

nice to see bit more street car wheel

[@RADERFPV]

Have never been a Thrustmaster fan, but this wheel looks amazing.

[@nicechasinchasegods7051]

the shape reminds me of a C8 corvette

[@OverTake_gg]

Oh true! Now I know what it reminded me of all the time. 😃 -Michel

[@OverTake_gg]

But tbh it looks better than the C8 steering wheel :P -Michel

[@Sokira14]

Their inspiration is the LaFerrari wheel 😮

[@rdeh1678]

@nicechasinchasegods7051 actually the wheel is pretty close to the rim in the Czinger 21c and the Czinger vmax

[@BatXDude]

@nicechasinchasegods7051 the new ford gt definitely

[@misterpervysage476]

Its a hard buy for me but it certainly does replace the cheap wheel the t598 has

[@rdeh1678]

I ordered the special edition of this wheel for thrustmaster club members , it's basically the same except the silver pieces are copper colored and are limited

[@shutter-chan]

Absolutely love the design. Definitely picking it up.

[@nicechasinchasegods7051]

it seems as soon as switch to Fanatec, Thrustmaster drops the most amazing stuff, last wheel I bought was the 488 gt3 wheel an I love it but this wheel looks great as well

[@zetter5888]

@nicechasinchasegods7051 Have you seen the new fanatec Porsche vision gt wheel? Looks sick too.

[@nicechasinchasegods7051]

@zetter5888 hey yea I saw it, I like the shape but idk if I'll be buying it, think I'm gonna wait to see what else they come up with, have you seen the Lamborghini wheel from MOZA? thar thing is absolutely beautiful, if MOZA had console compatibility I would switch, I love their line up

[@zetter5888]

@nicechasinchasegods7051 Yea it looks sick. The only selling factor on the fanatec wheel will be the price, since it's csl elite it's probably gonna end up being 200-250€

[@maverickgoose2305]

Im ordering the Gold club edition of this tomorrow.

[@vidvir1492]

how are the grips? same as most TM wheels, plastic/metal handles with a thin wrap with leather/suede or is it thick leather/rubber so we can press it in a bit?

[@Nickinatorz]

It looks really good!

[@demechelsegamecat6518]

Another great review. But an untherwhelming wheel and software is bad for Thrustmaster. I expected more from them, because they joined the dd-party so late.

[@stevep927]

How do you know they won't update the software . The wheel doesn't release in the US until 11/14. Ever used Logitech Hub ? It's pretty bad

[@Navoii.]

I've been recently looking for exactly this, a hypercard styled wheel. I wouldn't use it for drifting, but I would use it for everything else. 400 isn't a lot for it, either, since a Venom F5 costs a little more... I love this wheel so much Actually... I wish it didn't have a normal thumbstick, and clutch on the back of the wheel instead... Other than that, though

[@elvish4432]

Thrustmaster- Excellent wheel, very beautiful ❤👍😊

[@SimRacingFanDK]

Can it be used for old tm bases like T300?

[@Sokira14]

No sadly

[@OverTake_gg]

I asked them if would work with their QR Adapter, but it is explicitly mentioned that is only for T598, T818 and future products. But I'll let you know! -Michel

[@Sokira14]

@ maybe we can swap from an old wheel but only if the motherbord inside the hypercar have the old plug to make it possible I guess

[@OverTake_gg]

So Thrusmasters official answer: no, they are now committed to their new generation and new QR. -Michel

[@Mre942]

I use the sparco r383 replica for rally/drifting and sf1000 for gt style driving

[@OverTake_gg]

Thats really all you would need 👍🏻 -Michel

[@flaw3dgenius222]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@SimRacingMotionDoc]

Which dd of thrustmaster is best for ps5 ? Tgt or t818 or the new coming ?

[@OverTake_gg]

TGT or T598 - the T818 is not PS5 compatible. -Michel

[@SimRacingMotionDoc]

Ok thank you, do you think the t598 will ne better then dd fanatec ?

[@brandonmccarthy9224]

I'm going to buy this it looks fucking awesome

[@nelchan2421]

No Upcoming PXN V99 review?

[@OverTake_gg]

Not in the schedule right now, but we could look into that. -Michel

[@nelchan2421]

@@OverTake_ggI hope the PXN PDHM pedal is compatible with PXN v99.

[@pannonianfit1582]

would love that older amg gt3 wheel official replica

[@nicechasinchasegods7051]

@@pannonianfit1582 is there anywhere that sells a wheel that looks like the amg wheel for thrustmaster or Fanatec?

[@pannonianfit1582]

@@nicechasinchasegods7051 I only saw some custom low number produced amg wheel by single person that sell them on instagram but nothing from major companies

[@misterpervysage476]

This wheel seems like such a hard sell since their ferrari wheel with the telemetry is in the same price bracket as this. If it were 300 dollars there would be some justification

[@BLVCKCENT]

Wish it was universal

[@StarFox85]

BEAUTIFUL ..BUT NOT CHEAP !

[@Bambeakz]

Magnetic shifters for a 400 wheel. Something Moza couldn’t on a 1300 wheel 😅

[@SIMRIG412]

That wheel has magnetic shifters learn what you’re talking about!

[@OverTake_gg]

I think he is referring to the MOZA Lambo Wheel that does not have magnetic shifters. -Michel

[@voongnz]

Obviously they could as they have on way cheaper wheels with them, but they don't because it following on from Lamborghini designs.

[@Atem_S.]

Thye really need to upgrade the software of their wheel.. Just lool at Logitec or Moza, simple and streamline.. No need for stupid combo button press to map! Why aren't they doing this?

[@mikexhi287]

Thustmaster only offers one real Direct Drive base. So the customers are very limited

[@SoberHighDrunk]

I’ve been using the T598 since launch day and I’m curious to know what your definition of “real” direct drive is

[@darrooxx]

I want a steer around 150 euros and not more. Why is my formule ex so nervous ??

[@CookinBeatloaf]

Looks novel

[@marcowong1436]

400euro is overpriced tbh

[@deltazero3796]

Stickers are useless, better to have few colours of insulation tape and stick it on buttons 😂 Magnetic paddles are in my opinion literally a s*it, they are TOO LOUD, better are trigger like based shifters

[@SIMRIG412]

You have no clue that real race cars use heavy duty loud shifters!

[@gameplaycast]

its only the wheel....for the same price i can get someone an entire setup for sim racing... next time you are having issues paying for something, just remember this

[@SIMRIG412]

Ya a whole belt or gear driven garbage setup.

[@gameplaycast]

@@SIMRIG412 pros use logitechs. OLD ones to boot, not as garbage as you think.

[@Andybarney555]

Still wayyyy overpriced.. fact!

[@OverTake_gg]

If that's a fact, can you provide all calculations that lead to a lower price for the same wheel? Design, development, manufacturing, materials, expected sales and many other factors. This is not an Xbox Controller that is sold in numbers of hundreds of thousands each year. -Michel

[@billynolanjr2266]

Would this be a goid wheel for Nascar oval racing in Iracing? Or is my rally 383 better for that ? Thanks ! Beautiful wheel !

[@billynolanjr2266]

When you say that please prove your facts ....

[@OverTake_gg]

@@billynolanjr2266 NASCAR might be better with a round wheel! -Michel

[@billynolanjr2266]

@OverTake_gg I was just looking for an excuse to buy this !! It's a beuty !!
