It's definitely a good entry level wheel, and a nice step up if you're looking to replace a T150, so far playing it in DR 2.0 and WRC10 it feels a little heavier steering wise and is definitely more powerful than the T150 holy shit what an arm workout at 100% force feedback. lol

Yes this wheel feels cheap ish. It's not though. Way more power than the t150. Less gear clunk. Doesn't feel like I'm going to sheer a gear tooth when I drift. The shifters are awesome. You have more force feedback settings in the wheel with the new firmware update. Like he said the best pedal set that isn't a load cell pedal set in this price range. This wheel isn't competing with top of the line DD wheels. It's replacing the t150, and eating logitech's lunch lol.

They could have done a better job wrapping the rim to make it feel less plastic, like how Logitech wrapping the plastic rim with leather makes it feel a lot more premium.

This wheel is at the same price as a G29 for some reason, but a lot of views says that the ones in stock has problems, "HI-TE" (hi temp problems, etc), faulty parts, missing parts, im between both but i think this is a gamble for what i can see.

As someone that is getting into sim racing I struggle to pull the trigger the g923 and this T248. My local bestbuy has the G923 on display and a demo and I was surprised how well it felt and the strength it had but have no idea how to compares to the T248.

@SimRacingCorner 2 года назад

G923 vs T248 is my next big video. I haven't begun the testing yet so I don't have an opinion right now. It does take time so it will be 2-3 weeks before that's done.

@niklasdavind4722 2 года назад

Well I might not be able to give a fair comparison but I got the g29 first, but it was broken. However quality wise i felt that the t248 felt better to use than the g29. The only thing better with that wheel was that it used metal instead of hard plastic (and that it looks better overall). No deal breakers for me so I'd recommend the t248.

@40SomethingCoverArtist Год назад

Seeing as you now have felt the difference between these and the horrible T3PA pedals (which I still have)...how do you rate the resistance on the throttle and clutch in comparison to the T3PA. I hate how light they feel. Would love to hear your honest opinion on that. Here in South Africa, I can't get hold of the T-LCM...out of stock everywhere. But I can get hold of the T3PM. Would you consider them a good upgrade to the T3PA pedals...or should I rather wait until I can get a T-LCM pedal set? No mentions the throttle and clutch resistance in their reviews.

@SimRacingCorner Год назад

Sure, theT3PM set is a step-up over the T3PA pedals, but I wouldn't consider it a proper upgrade. My advice is to wait for the T-LCM pedals to get the load cell brake. A load cell brake has a huge advantage over a potentiometer brake pedal.

@artfull_dodger__ Год назад

Ok so I’ve watched loads of reviews on several wheel and pedal set for ps5 which is confusing in itself. Settled on either t-gt 2 or t248. The problem is I’ve done some searches to see if anyone is having any issues and there seems to be a calibration issue with the t-gt 2 and the t248 has had pedal problems. I don’t know what to do as now I’m afraid if I get one or the other I’m going to have problems. Should I just stick with controller

@SimRacingCorner Год назад

I review hardware on PC, so wouldn't be able to tell you anything about consoles. All I can say is I haven't read any comments regarding calibration issues with the T248. I haven't used the T-GT 2, so I can't add anything useful there.

@LogicallyKnot 2 года назад

Not sure why people keep going on about the noise level of the shifters? I use this thing all hours of the night and have a wife that will bitch for almost any noise whatsoever (volume of television, talking) during this time period and she has never said anything about the clicking of the shifters.

I can't decide on my first wheel. I'm on xbox series s. It's this set for £300 or the tx leather edition for £400, I've been put off a bit by the tx from a lot of people saying it has broken after a few months use. This set also comes with the better pedals and is £100 cheaper. Do I go for the tx and upgrade the pedals later maybe? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@SimRacingCorner 2 года назад

As it's your first wheel, you may consider picking up a second hand G923 or previous gen G920 on eBay and save a bundle. Logitech's wheelbases are renowned for their reliability, as that seems to be a concern for you. And if you sell it later, it will hold its used price value.

@@SimRacingCorner and if we assume that there is no money for tlсm and will not be soon? T3PM now or tlcm in the very distant future? There are other expenses besides not the most important hobby.

@SimRacingCorner Год назад

These are an improvement over the t3pa pedals, but not enough to recommend them as a replacement and not really worth the money considering they are entirely plastic. I'm assuming you're a PC gamer, in which case, take a look at my Moza SR-P pedals review I posted this morning. The Moza SR-P 2 pedal setup is very good value for money for a metal pedal set with load cell.

@orangechannel4862 Год назад

@@SimRacingCornerunfortunately, there are none in my country, and ordering from abroad is too expensive. I can buy the T3PM even today, and at a reasonable price, and just stick it in the T300. Besides, I almost always use the clutch. I really love the manual transmission, especially with the gearbox that you advised me. Therefore, I choose only between T3PM and TLSM. If you add more money, it's much better to buy alien zadrotti - the best pedals in the world, with the best clutch in the world. And the appropriate price.

The G29 is smoother, but the FFB is quite a bit weaker, and has other limitations like the rattle noise and FFB centre deadzone . Maybe think about the Thrustmaster T300 or TX, those are excellent options.
