New Thrustmaster Wheel

Paul_cz · 9 Dec 2016 at 22:38

Open wheel like this is just so bizzare. If I want to have 900 degrees or even more, turning with closed wheel seems much more comfortable. I have the lowendish T150 and I like it a lot, although I would like to have better pedals and shifter.

Yeah, it would've been better to bundle in a non-formula type wheel, as this is a bit limiting...
I'm hoping they can put the wheelbase out by itself at least, but they should've bundled it with a normal rim.

40 GBP discount over on the TM website. I'm very tempted. As my time with the T500rs has run its course.

Are you going to be sticking with the T500 pedals or getting new ones?

DAIR · 12 Dec 2016 at 15:22

I'll be keeping the pedals.... That's if I go ahead with the purchase.

Might anyone be interested in a T500 wheel and base?

Head to Head review

Right I've opted for the TS-PC Racer wheel.

I was tempted to go down the Fanatec route. But couldnt justify having to spend over 1k for an entire Fanatec setup.

Perhaps next year.

At least fix the vid

DAIR · 11 Feb 2017 at 12:52

I paid £150 delivered for a V1.5 csw fanatic base, £230 for. Formula rim new and £300 for csw v3 pedals. Total cost £680 for an awesome setup..

How much was your shell mate?

Pedals with those?

Uncle Petey · 18 Feb 2017 at 14:33

Not sure what point you're trying to make tbh.

Pretty sure you already know that it doesn't come pedals and that he's already got a set, given that he has a T500 in the background.

How does it compare to your t500? Just bought myself a t300 with 599x alcantara rim and t3pa pedals so far iam very impressed.

Feels a lot smoother than the T500.

I'm really liking it.

My G27 was £125.. As much as I'd love a Fantaec setup, it's a tad steep. How are those.. half wheels in game? I'd probably lose grip easily as I'm using to using all the wheel.
