Thrustmaster T150 First Look on Playstation 4

www.ISRTV.com presents our first look and impressions of the Thrustmaster T150 Force Feedback Racing Wheel on the Playstation 4. Darin and John first un box it, talk about their initial impressions and then take it for a test drive.
During the test drive they try it with Codemasters F1 2015, Project Cars and finally Drive Club.
Watch and see if Darin and John think this new entry level wheel from Thrustmaster is a worthy investment for sim racers making the transition from game pad to racing wheel.
The T150 will retail for $199 / €199 and be available in October. It has 1080 degrees of rotation a two pedal set and is compatible with the Playstation 3 & 4 as well as the PC.

I got the T150 about 8 months back as a test unit. The force feedback wasn't strong enough. Like any sim race addict, I modded it - replacing the feed back motor with a motor from a washing machine. I broke both wrists after rolling over a few pebbles. Luckily I'm out of hospital now, my wrists are finally starting to heal up and I am able to now feed myself. So, you can understand my surprise when I saw this thrustmaster pop up in my sub list today. Overall, a great wheel for cheap. Just don't sacrifice Mother's washing machine with the lure of modding for some extreme feedback.

[@Bes1997_]

Sorry but I’m laughing so loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ibike007]

Glad to see Thrustmaster doing something for starting simracers, very nice you can upgrade the pedals and even the shifter can connect.. I was pissed at Logitech for removing the DFGT and therefor removing that entrylevel.. I own a T500 now but started back in the day with a DFGT which gave me hours and hours of fun times.. Anyway glad to see Thrustmaster is talking over that role and getting more people into our awesome hobby without having to fork over loads of cash just to start off. (Shame on you Logitech 👎🏻)

[@nonsecular13]

Finally. A reasonably priced wheel that I can use for Drive club. Thank you Thrustmaster.

[@TBV121]

If anyone has a broken spring in these pedals, you can replace it with springs from a 6 inch plastic clamp (look up on amazon for SE 3286PS) Also substituting the spring on the brake pedal with one of these will give you more resistance for better braking.

[@SkiStam]

Something that would be really cool would be if there was a custom leather cover for this wheel.

[@Toutvids]

Mine will arrive today, after I go to work (damn it,) thanks for a great review to assist in my decision to buy this. As a non hardcore race guy, I had no intention of spending a bunch of cash. I own and still use the Momo Black wheel and pedal to this day and like it, just wanted better turning radius and a larger wheel. This should fit the bill perfectly.

[@crctv6606]

FYI i just bought a t150(blue) and the pedal faces ARE adjustable, you remove the face screws and there are multiple holes on the pedal shafts for different angles... I also owned the MOMO black and am happy with the similarities to it but also the upgrades 10 yrs of advancement have given this low buck set. This is a great beginner wheel for a desk driver and I can say within my first three laps on iracing's pick up cup at charlotte I notice a marked improvement in lap times

[@rushsmith2594]

Nice presentation, thanks

[@srtspeedy4983]

[@automateu]

I mounted the wheel with a 10MM bolt to a table instead of using the clamp and a large washer on the bottom of the board.

[@ashleymelia4542]

I getting this wheel tomorrow with a shifter and what they said it's not a bad wheel I'm happy with that just see how it goes maybe get a better one

[@MrBeerscuits]

Could you guys test adapters for G27 pedals and shifter with the T150? I guess many people would be interested to upgrade the G27 for this new wheel. Thinking again, could you leave the G27 wheel connected to the PC but unplug the power and try to use the pedal and shifter while using the T150/T300?

[@etshArk87]

upgrading from a G27 to a 150? that sounds to me like a downgrade

[@algorithm1193]

The pedals are adjustable. You just need to undo the screws and you can flip it around.

[@SkiStam]

I was waiting for something like this. I wanted something with 1080 degrees. But it was either too expensive or just simply didn't have it. I was going to get a g27, but the shifter only has 6 gears... and alot of cars in todays video games has 7. I can't wait for this wheel.

[@leyow7135]

Great video, Thank you so much!!

[@aberiteteaatu5945]

Hey Inside Sim Racing. I watched the G920 review video a couple of months ago and I was going to leave a comment on that video but I was afraid you weren't going to see it so that is why I'm posting it here. In the video John said "It's the first wheel by logitech for anyone xbox generations". There is actually a logitech wheel that was made for the xbox 360 called "DriveFx". It's wheel rim is 10 inches in diameter. It only has 90° of rotation and it has the "X" "Y" "B" "A" buttons and a D-pad. You can buy one on ebay as low as 30 US dollars and it comes with a plastic two pedal set. It is all wired and it uses Axial Feedback.

[@fud1376]

I bolt mine straight through my desk.....Solid as a Rock!!!

[@v_alexiadis]

Great entry level wheel. Good job Thrustmaster.

[@CaptainPanick]

Glad you mentioned the Logitech Momo. I'm still using my now 12 year old Logitech Momo Racing as I can't afford a new wheel, but I have a number of top 5 positions in Project Cars's time trials so that should prove that its still a pretty decent wheel even by today's standards.

[@atheosxgaming]

id love you to start to get a car sideways and let go of the wheel and see how it spins back and re-acts to a car drifting. lots of guys buy wheels to drift and testing that motion would be a great help..

[@simbicort]

+atheosxgaming Thats a nice idea but, isn't that heavily influenced by a good FFB setup within the game? might give a bad idea of the wheel if using the default like these guys.

[@diggumsfilms7951]

+José Pedro Vidal Pinho de Oliveira Santos no, I think it's a great idea because we will be able to see how quickly the wheel reacts to counter steer, hence showing us how fast the motor inside the wheel actually works

[@simbicort]

+Diggumsfilms yeah, you are right. a friend of mine already explained it to me. thanks :)

[@Jpilgrim30]

Darin, if you feel any force feedback deadzone at center of a wheel in project cars go into the calibrate force feedback menu in the controller settings and turn up the deadzone removal slider until it is responsive at center. If you feel any oscillations while driving then turn it down one click. I have it at .02 removal and .01 falloff on the TX and T300 and it feels great. No deadzone in FFB

[@SDAspra]

It would be great if you could try drifting with the T150 and see if it would centre itself as quickly (if at all) as T300 and T500

[@joanamatsushida8927]

In portugal the t150 pro version is this wheel but it cames with the T3PA pedals and it is only 260€

[@thexspikes]

This or G29 including shifter add ons & peddle set? I'm guessing for base unit itself T150 but if you want a shifter + clutch which would be best? The cheapest one? Or would you feel one is worth that bit extra to get over the other?

[@remonkewl6598]

+XSpike The G29 costs 400$. This plus the T3PA PRO pedals should cost 350$, or if you want the cheaper T3PA pedals, 300$. The shifter changes things. The logitech shifter costs 60$ and the thrustmaster one 150$, but of course the TH8A is much better and can also change to sequential. So, 460$ vs 500$, or with the cheaper pedals, 450$. So, price wise they're very similar, depending on the shifter. On which one is better, looks like the t150 is a better wheel, no deadzone and better FFB in general.

[@lorenzorodriguez1623]

darin whats the difference betwen this and the t300 base? the motor?

[@metallicsilver]

I would run a bolt through that hard mount point! I have the Fanatec Wheel Stand, so that's what I'd try if I ever got a new wheel.

[@BeaversHobby]

Man, you're being polite about the clamp. I had Thrustmaster wheel a while back and if you take it on and off the desk often then the bolt will worn out very quickly. Good thing I contacted the service and they send me a new one in just a few days. If it actually cost less than 200 Euros then I might replace my G27 with this because it's rubber and it has 1080 degrees. Believe it or not I'm using G27 for many years now but I'm allergic to leather.

[@bronxchick2997]

im mad u didnt show how u mounted or any connections how to get started

[@YouTubeDeletesComments]

13:20 is quite realistic though, I mean, even in Asseto Corsa they simulate the front suspension and steering rattling when you go off the road, etc

Awesome Review, What's is the Best wheel for PS4?

[@LuisMoreno-nn7pl]

May I ask... how long is the clamp of the T150 (and T300)? I have a rig made of PVC, but there is a PVC support 4 inches from the edge of the table's platform (where the wheel would be placed)

[@theichytype]

what are the difference between this and tmx? if they're essentially the same besides platforms, how come tmx only has 900 degree?

[@bodyxf10]

Guys of Inside Sim Racing are you gonna try the T150 on PC with Assetto Corsa as well? I think it would be great to know your impressions about it, for me and I hope for other sim racing gamer. Thanks

Hi there i need some help. i have t150 the same wheel but when i use it on pc it starts to get off centered to right. when i disconnect it and reconnect it gets centered back but after while starts to get off centered again what can i do?

[@blarafy]

Hey guys I need some help, does anyone know where can I find the ball bearing that goes inside behind the wheel or if anyone knows the measurements of it.

[@StudioDaVeed]

I just got into iRacing two weeks ago. I'm using a 20+ year old Logitech Nascar 10" wheel. The T150 is on the way. Am I going to be shocked? Have to learn my steering/lines all over? Will the smoothness this (hopefully) wheel will afford me give me some quicker (.250) lap times?

[@TheSandman121212]

Can you not hard mount it with a similar bolt to the one used for the clamp?

[@abc_def-55]

T150 does seem like an upgraded F430 FFB (which Darin mentioned at the end, yay :) ), that was a brilliant entry wheel but only had the 270 degree rotation, which was one of the few downsides of it, along with the average pedals. However in my opinion the pedals are fine for a starter wheel, especially since the T150 is ecosystem compatible. I was happy with the F430 pedals, and while I did the brake mod on my T300 pedals, I wound up removing it for now, because I can't at the moment hard mount them, and the increased pressure requirement meant that my backstop could't hold the pedals still anymore :P (I'm also very used to the lower resistance pedal, so that I have zero issues with it while braking, and I actually dislike the g27 brake for being "too stiff", though that's just me not being used to them, since I only use them at a friends place)

[@heat9open404]

if i have enough cash to choose between the Thrustmaster T150 and the T300rs - which would you recommend . Can you make a comparison between this T150 and the T300rs

This looks promising. This wheel would not have been my first choice but everything is sold out right now and the mark-up on wheels is insane. Amazingly I found this at Walmart for $199 and I can upgrade the pedals, etc down the road when things recover and prices normalize. I don't even know how serious I will get. I mostly play Wreckfest for quick rounds of fun. I have been playing with an X-box controller, but once I saw someone playing it with a wheel I had to have one.
