Wheel

I need help with my wheel for whatever reason on iRacing I keeps reading the wheel input backwards but when I open the control panel for my wheel and base it’s reading everything correctly. I have the Thrustmaster TS-XW Racer base with the Ferrari 599xx evo wheel. Please any help is appreciated.

Need help with my broken T300RS

Im helping my friend to repair his T300RS. Previously he always kept the power on for the power supply which im quite sure ruined the PSU thus not turning on anymore.

I replaced the psu with a meanwell IRM 60 24ST which outputs 24V tested.

However, when power is on and usb plugged into my pc nothing happens.. I suspect something is up with the motherboard but im not sure. Could anybody help me out?

Is the t458 spider worth it as a new sim racer?

Found one for 150 gell( 56usd) on facebook

I just want it for formula 1 25 and euro truck sim2

Is it that bad?

Im not in the US so i cant buy a driving force gt for like 20 dollars more.

Only wheels in the used market here are: g29s, g923s, g920, t80 ferrari 488 GTB-E, , logitech momo , t458 spider and t128p

G29-923 can be found for up to 550( 200 usd with everything)

T80 is 350 ( 131 usd)

Momo is 250 (94 usd)

T128 is 450( 180 usd)

Ive only used the g29 at an internet cafe for like 10 minutes 2 years ago. So i got no experience

Yes force feedback is necesary but idk. Im like 15, i got enough for the 458, im not poor but i just dont wanna spend that much.

Ive been playing f1 25 with my ps4 controller and im getting more and more bored.

Will the gameplay be bad on the 458?

Sorry if its a bad post!

Thrustmaster T248 owners – how has the durability been after 1–3 years?

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a Thrustmaster T248, but before I do, I'd like to hear from people who have actually owned one for a while.

I'm not too concerned about the force feedback or features—I already know what the wheel offers. My biggest concern is long-term durability and reliability.

If you've owned a T248 for several months or years, I'd really appreciate if you could share:

  • How long have you owned it?
  • Approximately how many hours do you use it per week?
  • What platform do you use (PC, PS4, PS5)?
  • Have you experienced any issues such as motor failure, loss of force feedback, paddle shifter problems, overheating, calibration issues, or unusual noises?
  • If you've had no issues, how has it held up over time?
  • Would you buy the T248 again today, or would you choose something else?

I'm planning to use it mainly for games like Assetto Corsa, ACC, EA WRC, and BeamNG, so it'll see a fair amount of force feedback.

I'm looking for honest experiences—both positive and negative—so I can make an informed decision.

Thanks in advance!

Thrustmaster T598 connection issues - what did you do?

So, I waited the 3 weeks for the replacement PSU to fix my T598 (I'm in Australia, it takes forever for things to get here.) and 2 weeks after it arrives, I have the same problems. I keep losing Power Pack races because it just disconnects mid race. In fact, this PSU disconnects twice as often as the original.

Their response to this was for me to return the wheel to where I got it from. Really helpful. Even if they offered to send me another one I'd have to wait 3 weeks again anyway. The wheel is only 9 months old anyway so no problems returning it.

So, considering Thrustmaster sucks, I wont waste my time replacing this wheel and pedals in my rig with another one. What are my other options for PS5? I pretty much use it on GT7 exclusively with a little bit on ACC. Something with load cell pedals would be pretty awesome (Thank god Thrustmaster only had 5 of their upgrade pedals in stock for the entire world because I almost bought some but, you know, stock levels). Maybe a Fanatec set?

Are you an Ex T598'er - what did you replace it with and do you like it? I love the feel of the T598 wheel, a lot. The pedals are pretty basic but the wheel is great.

Thanks guys.

T300 RS GT or T GT II. Upgrade for my playseat challenge

I’ve had my G29 for about 5 years now. And have been eyeing the thrustmaster for some time, purely for the sf1000 wheel and for a little upgrade to the G29. It’s done me proud just a sticky brake when I haven’t used it for a while! Have pondered going down the DD route but being a new dad/ funds let alone modding the playseat to able to handle a direct drive isn’t worth it.

So it leaves these 2, I was definitely set on the t300 rs but completely forgot the tgt existed. Is there a big difference between the 2? And which is more suited to the playseat with that sf1000 wheel

Thrustmaster Raceline LC Upgrade vs 3DRap Brake Mod

I currently have the Thrustmaster T598 with the raceline pedals that are included in the bundle.

Just wanting to get some opinions on the load cell pedal & 3DRap brake mod. I'd love to get the LC Upgrade but it's never in stock... Should I wait for it to come back in stock or should I just go for the brake mods in the meantime or even permanently?

Is there much of a difference between the two in terms of performance? Just feel like I am not consistent in my braking & would love for that to change.

T598 budget standard rim upgrade

Today I saw some medical tape for 1€ per piece and decided I’ll try and spice up the standard rim. For 3€ I think it’s still better than the plastic look. What do y’all think? :D

Tribosyn PG44A / Nyogel 767A EU Alternative?

Just got a HOTAS Warthog again recently and its a few years old so it has a good amount of stiction. Since im in europe, getting the recommended PG44A / Nyogel 767A is a bit difficult. Is there any good alternative other than buying PG44A from newgatesimms as that is quite expensive with VAT and shipping?
