My G25 died on me after 10+ years (nothing mechanical, circuit board fried in a hot summer day while heavy racing) After long research I ordered a G29; I know TM TX has better FFB, but after all the horror stories I heard from buyers of TX ,(In my country Thrustmaster doesnt even have proper customer service btw) I decided on the tried and tested Logitech setup. If it will last me another 10+ years it is money well spent.

@@lystic9392 Unfortunately I had bad luck. I sent it back because it had a very strong 'notchy' feel when rotated. I got a TS-PC as a replacement and that was worse! Thrustmaster say 'super smooth rotation' for both these wheels. I then tried a T300, and I am very happy with it, extremely smooth in rotation. One or two people say the TX & TSPC wheels do get smoother with time, but I didn't want to risk keeping it in case it didn't smooth out. I really believe they should not have been as rough as they were, and I would still like to try a TX or TSPC Racer in the future but I just don't know. The TX has the same motor as the T300 so it doesn't make sense that they should be so different. Anyway, 3 weeks on and the T300 is great :)

I'm thinking of purchasing the TX Leather edition (leather wheel, T3PA pedal set with the package). I've heard Thrustmaster had some durability issues, but this has definitely helped my thoughts on purchasing one. I'm pretty new to the racing scene, right now only really play Forza Horizons 3, but looking at getting into some other more serious sims in the future and would like to have a nice wheel for it.

Forza is not worth it with a wheel. Well, it is until you play other sims like Assetto or iRacing. But the TX is a great one. I have mine for 2,5 years now and it's still rocking. TX Base + TM28 GT Leather is the best combo in my opinion. Really nice stuff. But havin just bought Fanatec CSP V3s I'm going to sometime get a CSL Base to replace my TX... feeling kinda sad to do so to be honest.

Great review. I bought my TX 3 years ago, still works perfectly! Kudos to TM, they hit it out of the park with this base. I have the leather rim, TH8A and the T3PA pro pedals, and I couldn’t be happier with everything. Zero need to upgrade, IMO $1500 for a Fanatec is ridiculous given what this product offers for a third of the price!! 👍
@XxWarmancxX
@XxWarmancxX 4 года назад
I'm very much a casual, what would the t3pa pedals offer sensation wise compared to the pedals the tx comes with? I'm ordering one now given after having my Logitech g29 wasn't doing enough for me (also how they did the brakes resistance with that crummy rubber thing instead of just a decent spring setup). Also felt hard to correct after slips. Mind you, I just find more fun in casually driving around trying to tame cars lol

I have purchased refurbished thrustmaster products in the past and have barely had issues. Sure I may have to modified mounting options on my home built rig but it would be the same with any other rig. The wheel feels really smooth and the feedback is strong and super informative, I have owned two wheels and got myself a working thrustmaster tx setup with custom wheel and t3pa pedals for a total of 300$, and has lasted through use, for anybody that is scared of thrustmaster you don't have to worry, just treat what you have with respect, its not military grade equipment, But with good use and care it will be a great wheel for years,

I have the TMX as well. I got it around mid this year. I wanted the Pro version for the T3PA pedals, but it was sold out, and after a month of waiting on Amazon, Gamestop, wherever, I eventually just bit on the base. Great starter wheel to reaffirm to me that I'm want to get deeper into sim racing. Wheel still works great, but just today, the metal spring in the standard 2 petal set just snapped. Was wanting to replace it anyways and figured I'd upgrade to the TLCM. While looking through Amazon, the TX had a price drop so I bit on that as well along with the Ferrari F1 wheel.

Great video Dan! I have the T500RS with the same pedals and shifter as you. It's quality is fantastic. Like you I've had mine several years and it still feels brand new. Over the last 15 years or so I've easily owned at least 10 wheels, and this one is by far the best, and wildly outclasses the G27 I had prior to it. The fans can be noisy in hot conditions or during long play sessions but the performance of the FFB does not slacken off at all. The only issue with the T500RS is the fact that the paddles are attached to the base and not to the wheel so they do not move when you turn (They aren't actually attached to the base - but they are a long way from the wheel, and do not turn with it). You kind of learn to drive around it, but I will replace the wheel with the 599XX wheel you had on your channel recently.

I have the TMX. I got it around mid this year. I wanted the Pro version for the T3PA pedals, but it was sold out, and after a month of waiting on Amazon, Gamestop, wherever, I eventually just bit on the standard version which sucked having no clutch which is really an issue with AC since you can't map the clutch to a button. Great starter wheel to reaffirm to me that I'm want to get deeper into sim racing. Wheel still works great, but just today, the metal spring in the standard 2 petal set just snapped. Was wanting to replace it anyways and figured I'd upgrade to the TLCM. While looking through Amazon, the TX base had a price drop so I bit on that as well along with the Ferrari F1 wheel. Wanted the F1 wheel for the buttons. I had been using Anti-Micro virtual controller to get more buttons out of the TMX wheel. Already has a good amount of buttons but not enough to adjust TC and ABS and toggle KERS, DRS, lights, etc. Excited for this set to come.

I've been using the T500RS wheel and base for about 3 years now and although it seems to work fine it does have a "grainy" feel to it when turning. I did't buy it new though so I should probably be happy to get the amount of time out of it that I have. I've been considering a direct drive set up lately, but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. Nice review, take care.
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
Thanks! Yeah Thrustmaster makes a great product. The T500 has been a proven option for many years. I have felt that grainy feeling in a t500 as well. I think it is just the nature of the motor and mechanisms inside that cause that but still is an amazing wheel. I can only imagine how bad ass those direct drive wheels are. I just don't think I would ever be to the point of needing that much FFB. I find that when you turn it up too high I perform worse on the track so I'll just stick to my little TX lol.

Up2late, what I've seen some people do is lubricate the center shafts. If you open the top cover you'll see a opening with a white shaft that your wheel sits on with grease. You can add grease to that to get rid of the notchy feeling
@MRFUCKOFF202
@MRFUCKOFF202 7 лет назад
Yeah someone else just corrected me on that yesterday, I've been thinking that since I got into sim racing in 2013 lol. I find the T300 smoother than the TS-PC which I guess is because of beefier belts in the TS-PC, and given the T500 is older and more powerful than the T300 I think my statement is probably still correct aside from the obvious.

I bought a cougar hotas years and years ago and it was broken in the box,before I even used it,also the t300 issues on you tube are in huge number,my g27 wheel may not be as good ffb wise but I will bet that it has a better reliability than the flaky Thrustmaster wheels. Buying a t300 is like playing Russian Roulette,let’s see if I get a bullet after I use my pedals for a month,the only reason I got them is because I am a desk racer and Thrustmaster make a pedal stand that sits under your desk for these pedals. They are going to get hounded if ithis thing breaks.

I'm unsure about getting my first wheel. I want something good and they are on sale at the moment. The choice is the T150 Pro (T3PA pedals) £160 (usually £200), T300 GT £260 (usually £350) or the T300 Ferrari RS £320 (usually £400). I intend to use it for learning drifting on AC, for Dirt Rally and for GT Sport too. The Sparco 383 rim looks awesome as a potential upgrade further down the line but so does the Ferrari one. At the moment I'm not massively into racing games but I love driving (real cars) and thought a proper setup should be way better than a controller.

I do a lot of drifting in Assetto Corsa and while driving the Audi Quattro group b car, which requires a ton of violent steering motions to get it to slide(I have some footage on my channel), I heard a pop come from my TX base mid flick. It stopped responding and actually started smoking. I play with FFB at 75% in the control panel, and about 80% in game. I'm quite disappointed that the wheel has only lasted 4 months since purchase. Thrustmaster support received the base early last week. Still waiting on the repair and shipment back. Given that I now play racing sims far more than any other type of game, the time spent waiting on repairs is agonizing.

@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 6 лет назад
Awesome! Welcome to the world of Sim racing. You will love it. Yes I would wait and get both together, but the brake pedal on the t3pa pro is better than the standard TX pedals though. TX brake pedal is basically a spring and does not get progressively stiffer when you step on it. It still works fine but you have to rely on muscle memory where to stop applying pressure or you will lock up brakes. The t3pa brake pedal will feel more like a real brake pedal and in some cases after practice can make you faster.

Thanks. Can you give me advice what kind of settings I should have on TM control panel and in game. I play assetto corsa and dirt rally and I haven't yet gotten the settings quite right. The research I have done all give a bit different settings. Is there any tools like wheelcheck to set up my wheel for all the games? And do I have to go TM control panel every time I play different game than I played last time to change the settings for that game? (maybe a video about this topic (how to find the right settings) would be great for new players) (edit: I actually got the tx gt leather edition for 380e (T3PA pedals included) so all I need now is the sifter)

question: does the alcantara leather transpose to the hands when you play without gloves? In other words, do you hand get black after several hours of playing?
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
zissakos79 I know exactly what you are referring to. I had a part suede steering wheel in one of my cars and the black material always got on my hands. But no, the alcantara on the 599 is very sturdy and stong. I never use gloves and after hours of racing with sweaty hands the material never comes off on my hands. It stays pretty clean looking as well and I never clean it to be honest.

@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
zissakos79 no problem and thank you! Now you may want to wait because thrustmaster just announced the Sparco R 383 mod for the ecosystem wich is even larger then the 599. It's only $20 more on amazon but won't be released until December 31st. Not sure if it's Alcantara or suede but it looks promising!
@zissakos79
@zissakos79 7 лет назад
I already have the R383 since yesterday. After 1h of playing my hands were black, that's why I asked. Also, I am a little disappointed by the buttons and the new directional mini joystick that replaces the dpad... Considering refunding it.

@Meloni_88
@Meloni_88 7 лет назад
I have Logitecg g920 wheel, but it doesnt feel as precise as I would like it to be. So should I replace it by buying the tx leather edition? Opinions?🤔
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
The TX will not be a huge jump from the g920. It will feel a little more detailed but if it were me I would probably try and go with the Thrustmaster TS-PC racer. It is a little more expensive but will get you more fidelity and road feel with that than the TX. But the TX is a great wheel, just don't think it will be a huge step up from what you have. Just keep in mind that the TS-PC racer does not come with pedals so you will have to account for that cost as well. TX comes with 2 piece pedals but they are very basic and not that great to be honest. I would probably opt for the T3pA Pros at a minimum if you ever plan to use a H pattern shifter.

@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
Meloni88 ok if you are on xbox then yes right now the TX will be your best bet. However, thrustmaster just unveiled a version of the TS-PC racer at E3 that will be compatible on xbox one. No release date or price yet though. Like I said in the video I am very satisfied with the TX and I probably will not upgrade until I am ready to drop the money on a direct drive. But yes, TX is a great wheel and is plug and play with the xbox 1.

I personally am thinking of getting a wheel at the start of next month and have watched a lot of reviews. My personally conclusion is it is probably easier and simply better to get the leather edition (which is what i will do) a lot of people have said that the TX 458 rim is a little to much like a toy so that is something to take in mind. I also am very into drifting so a more round rim suits me more which is a big part of why i will get the leather edition

@mermaidslam7936
@mermaidslam7936 5 лет назад
There is a notable difference in force feedback between the two. The TSPC is smoother, heavier, more detailed, and faster in rotational speed. The default formula rim that comes with it is excellent with its leather grips, but any other rim would work fine. So if you have the money, definitely get the TSPC

My first TX’s circuit board fried after 6 months of light use. I got another one and it loses steering if I take my pedal of the gas at about 270 degrees of rotation going each way. I wanna sell it and get a Fanatec, but no one would want to buy a garbage wheel with issues. I’m just gonna get a warranty instead. If you’re in the market to get a wheel, do not get this wheel. It’ll save you a lot of time and money.

@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
Keith McCourt I have never personally had a g27/29 but all of the research I have done and all the many reviews I have watched say that the TX/T300 is a step above. how much above, I can't say. You may want to save the money and make the step up to the thrusmaster TS-PC racer which will probably be a more noticeable step up. many people swear on the g series wheels but I have had no direct experience with them. sorry.

@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
John Mcgarvey you don't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy sim racing. you would be fine with something like a thrustmaster TMX or similar logitech wheel. they are a few hundred bucks and can be found used even cheaper online. You can still have fun and be competitive with a less expensive wheel. Most of what you are paying for with the more expensive wheels is the immersion of feeling closer to the real thing. But in my opinion you can still really enjoy and be competitive with a less expensive wheel.

Completely different products. The Logitech systems are basically toys. I've owned the Momo and now have the G920... moving on up to a TX setup. Even my T150 from Thrustmaster was better than this G920. It's all about the FFB and Logitech doesn't compare. Longevity, sure, get Logitech, it's all gear driven, not belts, they suck at FFB but last longer.

What's the difference between the Thrustmaster TX wheel and the Thrustmaster TMX Pro Force Feedback Racing Wheel?
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 6 лет назад
Chetan Jadunundon So the TMX wheelbase has a little less ffb strength than the TX has but the "Pro" set comes with the T3PA (3 piece) pedals where the TX only comes with only 2 piece pedal set and they are not great. The other kicker is the TMX does not have a removable rim so you can never replace it with something else from the TM ecosystem like the 599 rim or leather rim down the road. I would say purchase one of the TX bundles that comes with better pedals and rim. It will be more expensive but will be worth it in the long run. Not being able to swap the rim is a miss step in my opinion by thrustmaster for the TMX.
@chetan4626
@chetan4626 6 лет назад
Thank you for your response. i've heard some people say that the thrustmaster wheels start to over heat after a while.. is that true?
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 6 лет назад
Chetan Jadunundon I have personally not had that issue but I have heard that from other sources. After doing a little research, to me it seems those cases were based on earlier versions of the wheels firmware where the fans did not come on as often. If you have your firmware updated you should be good to go. There is also an option to run the fan manually while you are playing which gives some people a sense of additional security. I don't do that with mine though unless I am running a very long endurance race.

Dan, I recently purchased the TX (leather edition) wheel and the pedals used and I'v noticed there is a slight wobble in the wheel as if it doesn't fit the steering shaft tight enough. This "wobble" is not in the steering/driving portion and I don't notice it when I'm racing but when I hold the wheel and pull/push back and forth there is some slight movement. Have you noticed this with any of your Thrustmaster wheels on the TX base ?hanks man great info and vid, keep up the great work.

I have the leather rim also. It is a nice feeling wheel but it is a little small for me. Still feels somewhat toy like because of its size in all honesty. But it is not a bad wheel if you are ok with the smaller size. I would personally opt for the larger 599 if it is possible.

WARNING do not buy the t300rs servo base. It either dies after a few hours after purchase. A few months. Or right after warranty. I know from my own experience unfortunately😞. However the tx has far better reviews when it comes to reliability. Also people say it has a better feel than the t300. Just spend the extra 50 or so dollars and don't get scammed.

question, why not the t300 over this? it has more degrees of rotation and the alcantra rim is better
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
TX natively works with the Xbox one which is why I chose it way back then. This was before I made the move to PC sim racing. Yes if you are using the PC only then T300 makes more sense. Also I believe the rim you are referring to is the one on my wheel in this review.
@davidtriune8028
@davidtriune8028 7 лет назад
yea, sorry forgot to mention the rim is part of a package that matches the price of TX leather edition. thanks for the advice i just heard rumors that tx lasts longer than t300 but i'm not sure if that's true.
@DanDiMaggio
@DanDiMaggio 7 лет назад
People have varying opinions based on their own experience. Personally I don't think either is really that much better than the other. In fact they are very much one in the same. The major two differences between the them is that the t300 has slightly more degrees of rotation (which i never use. typically I run less than the 900° when sim racing. Most race cars do not require that much rotation to get them to turn), and the TX is ready to go with the Xb1. One thing to note is that because the TX is ready for Xbox, it has a sensor in the top for for the kinect. So there is an extra hump that sticks out on the top to make room for the sensor. It is such a minor detail that most people don't even notice it. But it is there. Hope this helps. I think you will be fine with either one!
