@@ubufamily hey bud :). I received my Alpha Mini on August 03 and I absolutely love it! It is worth every single cent to me! It feels so amazingly smooth and powerful , I would want to describe it as the wheel is so fast now that the cars basically drive themselves and behaves more like a real steering wheel would. Even though I suck at drifting other people tell me the wheel it's great for it ;) I personally find the TS-XW to be terribly overpriced for me in Canada, on Amazon it comes out to basically the same price as my Mini did, except that if you can find a used TS-XW this might be worth it. (I even got the most expensive Mini package, tho I can only find the TS-XW P310 SPARCO mod). Also the TS-XW is filled with plastic in its construction while the Mini is all metal in base and rim, with zero reported overheating. Though I just wanted to make sure that you knew that the Simagic Alpha Mini does not support either console (I'm on PC), so if you want to get a DD wheel for your Xbox then the Fanatec CSL DD is your only option and this is genuinely the same price as a TS-XW wheel!! You should join us in the Simagic discord server so you can ask all the questions!! Just search for it on Disboard :D

Thank you...first time sim racing wheel buyer and this video made me get the TS-XW as an individual unit and the T-LCM pedals separately. Smashing setup, love it. Thank you.

Can't wait for the next episode...I started out with T150 wheel and pedals attached to my desk....I upgraded to TLCM and F-GT cockpit and I am now looking to upgrade my wheel and have had my eye on the TS-PC for a while now!

Great vid thank you and a highly accurate summation, liked and subbed. Exactly my experience having gone from a desk mounted Logitech G29 to a TS-XW on a Next Level GT Ultimate. One of things I relatively quickly did was to replace the pedals with a set of Fanatec CSL Elie LC. The extendable arms on the wheel stand are set low to match a wall mounted single 43" 4K TV and so the stability is just fine for the TS-XW. Being a V8 Supercars fan in simulators the TS-XW is right at home. Good old Assetto Corsa with the V8SCorsa mod as well as FVR V8 Supercars mod in rFactor 2 and I'm set.

This video nails it! I switched from a G29 to it and everything you say in this video is true! It's a fantastic base! Specially with 350mm Wheels!

Waiting for part 3. Great vid man!

I ran this wheelbase and pedals for over a year before upgrading to the load cell pedals. What a difference! Actually took a few days to come to grips with them (ha ha) but soooo much better

Best review/comparison by far. I was going to get the T300 but it’s £100 more than the G923 and after seeing this review I’ve decided to go for the G923.

Loved this discussion. I used to drive a logitech wheel ages ago and looking into something else now. But when I was using that wheel I got the feeling that I was "driving" a set of switches. Not driving at all, just a bunch of switches. What you describe sounds so much better.

Thanks for the review. I purchased the wheel with the load cell pedals yesterday from Pagnian. I'm upgrading from g920. Really looking forward to getting it up and running.

Nice review. I'm glad I got the Fanatec CSL pedals to go with the TS-PC Racer wheel I bought for my computer last year. I was procrastinating quite a bit at the time.

Great review! I had purchased this bundle and ran into same problem. Had to place 2 metal strip brackets on front and mid section for support onto my rig, yet, still have problems every once in awhile depending on braking pressure applied. Gave me an idea with the zip ties!

Eagerly waiting for part 3!

Loving these series will. Can confirm I have a t150 pro that came with these same peddles. I’ve started to notice the exact same thing as you pointed out. I’ve also added the brake mod. Would love to know if there’s a way to improve the brake as that’s where time is gained and lost. Keep it up 👍 mate

Yea this is great. Even though I do have a full Profile rig with a DD1 for PC, I have been eyeing a cheaper "living room" setup for the consoles. Really nice to see a breakdown like this. Cheers!

These videos are so good! I am in the exact position of having sold my Xbox and got a PC. Upgraded from a GT Omega wheel stand and the sofa to the seat frame and seat add on with a monitor stand. Even just that has totally blown my mind as far as immersion and comfort goes. Next on the list is pedals then wheel base. It frustrates the hell out of me that the TS-XW package contains the same pedals as the TMX Pro set I already have. It’s a major set back and has lead me into looking at the TS-PC but upgrading to the T-LCM pedals first. Really looking forward to your thoughts on that set up. Seems like there have been a few issues with getting them to work together. Had an eye on Fanatec gear but it’s so hard to get hold of in the UK and demand during lockdown + Brexit have sent prices way above where they should be.

Just uograded to tsxw from g923 after 10 days of use. Thanks for this vid, Really helpful

I got the opportunity to try both the logitech g920 and a fully built tsxw setup, and man what a world of a difference, imo it definitely be better to go with the tsxw

Yo Yo Mushroom tip. CHEAH!.

Thanks for the review, helped me to buy this set up.

Just watching to give you the view count. Pretty damn happy I recently upgraded from a tmx pro to a csl elite that I got minimally used for $500 usd with pedals. Figured I’d grab that since I know DD wheels are simply out of my price range, and the new fanatic one won’t be in stock for probably close to a year after launch. So this helps me progress while still having a good upgrade path in the future. Not letting go of my thrustmaster shifter though, it’s usb so I don’t need to swap it out.

I faced this exact conundrum getting into sim racing last year and I started with the TS-XW, the review is bang on. I began with a table, flex was a nightmare and I had to buy a rig, the pedals fit fine to my rig but they aren't good, there is no real feel to them and locked up a lot under braking, upgraded to the T-LCMs and they were a fantastic upgrade, took about 3 hours of practice with the load cells and I wasn't just better, it was like night and day and I basically never lock my wheels up any more. I'd say the TS-XW (and probably TS-PC) with the T-LCMs is plenty good enough to get you bitten by the sim racing bug. I'd say my number 1 warning is, you will need a rig to get the most of out this, so buy with that in mind (I didn't!)

Very good analysis. I bought them two months ago and the truth is that the T3PAs leave a lot to be desired, they look beautiful, within their category, also comfortable but they brake fatally. So I have moved on to TLCM. Thanks you!

Btw after a month of use, I have to mention how good and solid the F-GT cockpit is and well worth the extra over the Lite ,the same as how the T-CLM pedals are a dif class from the bundle pedals.I ve made a brace with a couple of pieces of 4 x 2 to the wall that completely eliminates any flex in the pedal tray with the extra stiff brake mod and it's perfect .[Wrapped the wood in black material to look a bit neater]Thanks for the build video ,it really helped .

Thank you for this video series. I bought a Logitech G920 and is interesting to hear your thoughts about the brake pedal. I struggle with it, I can't feel where I am and as a consequence never brake anywhere near as good as I can with an analogue trigger. I'm keen to see this series develop as at the moment I'm happier using my trusty controller. You may convince me that I need to try something different rather than giving up, which is how I feel atm.

Again, nice review/comparison Will. 👍

Awesome series mate

Originally had the T3PA pedals with my TX and using the conical brake mod (or alternative mod that I eventually used) is a must imo - you can also adjust how close it is to the pedal and finding a position that suits you is essential! I got totally dialled in with them and when I upgraded to the T-LCM it took me ages to get used to them - think it took about 3 months before I could match then eventually beat my old T3PA times!

You have such nice things Will! Must have worked hard for all you've achieved :)

I began my sim racing journey with a t300rs that came with these pedals and quickly upgraded to the tlcm pedals in a month. A great set of loadcell brake pedals is a no brainer when it comes to upgrade paths and which to prioritise. The t300 or even the ts series of wheelbases would no doubt suffice many a sim racer, but I simply had the itch for wanting more detail despite being constrained budget-wise and also what’s available on the market. Instead, I went straight for a direct drive wheelbase in the m10 instead of settling for a ts series wheelbase, as it costs about the same as fanatec clubsport v2 would where I am.

Back to my budget :) Great channel btw

Great video man!🤩🔥🔥🤩

Nice video Got the g923 which is great starting out but think eventually the thrustmaster mentioned will be the next step forward

Hook and loop cinch straps are really handy for mounting pedals. I use two to mount my CSL Elite pedals to my Playseat Challenge seat and it is pretty sturdy.

What I've done in my t3pa pros. I've set the conical mod to touch the brake lever. It give a little less throw but it feels much better.

Me over hear with my 150 dollar g27 and a wood frame with the old Sparco seat from my MR2. Honestly an awesome set up for the price! Would suggest for budget builders.

Iv had a TX but it was basically faulty from the get go (bought it 2nd hand) and when it finally gave up , I went with an old tmx (as you can guess, I'm poor) and that's also been painful. I'm finally upgrading to a TSXW base. Super excited to feel it

Part 3 part 3 please! Next step up from this is most of the market IMO!

Nice video mate 👌🏼

Brilliant stuff .I bought the T GT II for GT7 but instead of the bundle I got the base unit .F! wheel and T LCM pedals foe £720 plus an F gt cockpit.Thanks for the great tips

Looking forward for the next video in this series! Bought TLCM pedals couple weeks ago and looking TS-PC Ferrari-edition as my next upgrade (currently using DFGT wheel). Really looking forward for your opinion on both products. My only complain with TLCM is the brake pedal being too close to the gas pedal but other than that loving the set! And my pain with non-adjustable placement just got bigger yesterday since Fanatec released their update to their entry level pedals (which would have made me choose their product) :(

I'm new to sim racing I just started few months ago but I'm loving it. I have a Omega Apex Stand, Thrustmaster T300RS with stock Pedals (2 pedals set only) the brake it's lose like the throttle no pressure at all lol But thanks to you Will - Boosted Media and to Barry - Sim Racing Garage... I'm planning to update to a Sim Lab P1-X cockpit, Simtrecs ProPedal GT (I alredy pre-ordered because this could take time), Fanatec Clubsport Shifter and now comes the part I'm not sure about I don't know if I buy the VRS DirectForce Pro DD or the Simucube 2 Pro DD or Triple or 49 ultrawide screen I'm not sure about this too! But I'm really exited I think whit this gear I can really get more consistent and this way be more prepared to be race win contender in iRacing.

Great video as always mate. Just upgraded to the TS PC Ferrari edition from the TMX and it’s so much better! Totally agree about the pedals too! Ditched the Thrustmaster pedals a long time ago for the Fanatec CSL load cells. Between the wheel upgrade and pedals I’ve knocked at least 0.5 seconds of my laps times 👍🏻

I did the switch from a G920 to the TS-XW several month ago. In Europe (probably in the rest of the world as well) you can by those things separately. I saw some reviews before buying that told about the same thing for the pedals in this kit. So I bought the TS-XW, the sparco P310 add on and T-LCM pedals separately. A kit like this makes much more sense. One thing to keep in mind is that since the p310 wheel is not centered, it's much harder to use it for rallying or drifting. You will need to buy another wheel if you want a proper rallying experience.

I had the G27. When it died, I got the T300 that came bundled with the T3PA pedals. My next upgrade was the T-LCM pedals when they came out. I got a good deal on a used CSW 2.5 with the round P1 wheel. Because I already have my loadcell pedals, there was no need for me to go with the Club Sport V3 ones, and I already have a spring replacement mod for a more progressive rate on the brake. My next upgrade will be from my NextLevel DD wheel stand to a full profile rig and maybe go direct drive down the road.

@@Phaethon569 I still would have started with the T300. Going from a gear driven wheel to a belt driven one was an eye opener in terms of the smoothness and fidelity of the force feedback.

Thanks for being very honest about the issues with the t3pa pedals. My friends all use a g29/27 with the corresponding pedals, but I liked the feel of the t300rs way better, so I bought that one. On braking however I just cant get the consistency that they have, often locking up since theres no reference points. Ive been looking for mods to make it work, maybe I'll try your zip tie + cone mod solution.

Hey, these videos are soo helpful thanks!! A year later though and still no part 3 as promised :( . Any chance of a part 3 in the near future?? I'm looking to get the TS-PC and T-LCM pedals so part 3 would be incredibly helpful! Appreciate any response and love the videos :)

When using the T3PA conical brake mode, I adjust brake gamma in controller settings. I like it so that it's about 50% force on the rubber stopper. I think it simulates real brakes better, otherwise you really lack all finesse while braking. It's not ideal but still much better than just spring tension. Currently i'm experimenting with a squash ball in place of the rubber mod and while the overall feel is stiffer, I think it feels much better and I think I'll be able to create better muscle memory with it.

I can firmly say the TLCM pedals are a major upgrade from the T3PA set. I had my tp3a pedals for a few year and the unfortunately got water damaged while some housework was being done. I looked for a new set and found a second hand set of TLCM pedals on eBay for £160 (not sure what that is in au). I got them and bolted them to my wooden home made flimsy af rig. Combined with my Thrustmaster TMX wheel and the th8a shifter. My lap times improved 2 seconds on most tracks when racing. When drifting with friends I found I could be more accurate meaning I could tandem closer to my friends ect. I have don’t one mod to my TLCM pedals which made them feel even better. This is the mod that Sim Racing Corner shows on his channel. I can honestly say they feel much better now and my lap times have improved again with this mod. I am running an Xbox so therefore I’m playing assetto corsa and forza motorsport/horizon. All I need is a new wheelbase and a handbrake as I managed to destroy my TMX with a handbrake mod. Mod worked perfectly until someone tripped over my handbrake wire, ripping the b button circuit out of the wheel. I’m thinking of going with the TSXW with the sparco handbrake. I’ll just need to build a new sim rig first

I have about the same opinion as you, at this price point, the wheel base should be paired with at least the t3pa pro pedals like you get on the t500rs, they are also not the best but at least you get a more solid pedal base for the price, in a ideal world this kit would have come with the t-LCM load cell pedals, that would be the perfect pair up for me,loved the review looking foreward to the ts-pc review with the t-LCM pedals.👍

Haven't gotten a wheel yet but do drifting irl so this helps me pick the right one for me :)

Had my TS-XW for over a year now and super happy with it; I will say though the standard T3PA pedals really are the weak point, especially the brake. I persevered for a while before swapping them out for a set of T-LCMs. Utterly transformed the overall feeling of my setup, and since I sold my T3PAs the upgrade only cost about £100. So worth doing for anyone with a TS-XW

Hanging for part 3, let's go =)

The pedals on the TS-XW are shocking quality compared to the base. I switched out to my old metal pedals that shipped with the T500RS which are effectively the same pedals but coated in metal just for a slightly more quality feel. Definately worth upgrading the pedals though because all the default Thrustmaster pedals are pretty poor quality.

I bought the Servo base, P310 and T-LCM pedals separate. Didn't get the stickers with the wheel. But it's fun trying to work out what the buttons do!

It will be interesting to see where the Fanatec CSL DD and peddle set comes in at. The quality and upgradability of Fanatec seems to be vastly higher for the same price tag. I can’t wait to see your review of the Fanatec system up in comparison.

I began with a logitech 920 and a wheelstand pro, then got your playseat cockpit and recently I upgraded to a ts xw with the new ferrari rim. Been really happy with it and the force feedback is much better than the logitech and most importantly doesn't go down on extended sessions. The cockpit can stand it no problem. I still need to upgrade my pedals and I'll just wait for the new csl elite pedals to come out. I don't really like the thrustmaster ones.

Those omen monitors are ducking SICK!! only problem is when I look at them I see a 2017 fully loaded Silverado lol

It's funny to me because a week ago I switched over from these pedals, T3PA, which I must have used for around 5 years, to Heusinkveld Sprints, and at first I had less control. My feet are now so used to the potentiometers that braking based on pressure felt odd. Now I'm gradually getting used to it after the week, but it definitely is a weird thing to have to re-do a muscle memory like that. Road cars are alright since they too have a large amount of travel, but especially now with racecar-like settings on the Sprints where there's barely any travel with pressure, it's a massive change.

That’s a pretty normal experience. It always takes time to reset muscle memory.

I started out on a G920 and used it until I wore out the upshift paddle, I moved to a TS-XW and to be honest I didn't really notice much difference but I also wasn't really looking for any. I just wanted to be able to play. It took a little while but I was able to get the brake set up with the mod and managed to get reasonable consistent. I then upgraded the pedals to a set of Simworx Pro GT V2 (I think) and have been pretty happy with them. Although as I was typing this I went and had a look at the brake pedal because it's been feeling a bit weird lately, and it looks like I've burst the seal on the hydraulic damper. I guess it's time to see if they'll sell me a new damper.

This reminded me of my own upgrade path, started with a G27 about 8 years ago, and a playseat evolution. After two years or so later, when TM launched their TX wheel, I got that and a next level racing wheel stand, and eventually got a T3PA pedal set and TH8A shifter. About three years later I ditched TM and switched to Fanatec CSW v2.5, v3 pedals, v1.5 shifter and simetik k2 cockpit. And just a few days ago I got myself a brand new DD2. Also thinking about getting a simlab p1-x rig.

Thomas jackermeier said in the "your CSL DD questions answered video" that the CSL elite was faster but had less Torque than the CSL clubsport, simply because of different cog ratios for each model. This plus your video + the fact that thrustmaster says their alim is 400w pic, made me think the TS-PC /TS xw will still be very competitive compared to the 5Nm CSL DD. Can't wait for the actual review. I bet a DD is still a DD and will be better but thrustmaster is still relevant if they lower their wheel base price below 350 (considering their wheel are cheaper)

Squash ball is a great upgrade to T3Pa pedals. It gives you a lot more precision and progressive feeling during braking. You just have to put the squash ball between conical brake and your pedal. It works a lot better than the standard cone-shaped rubber.

For a hack with this set of pedals. Place a spring between the break mod and the pedal, adding resistance for that first 15/20%

Hello Mr. Boosted media, I love your videos, I am here in Prescott Arizona in the states. I have my new cockpit and the triple monitors and stuff is on the way. I want something that has better feed back in the wheel and better pedals but don't want to be overwhelmed with tinkering to get it right or figure it out. I was leaning towards the Logitech Pro but thought I would reach out to you for a recommendation. Anyways thank you for your helpful videos.

I wound the brake mod out alot so I had a stiffer pedal feel to judge off but upgraded to fanatec clubsport v3s as soon as I started driving more.

Will be interesting to see how the CSL DD and new pedals from Fanatec compare with the TS-XW, looks like pricing will be about the same.

When I was looking at a new wheel base I was reading that the g29 is more like the thrustmaster t300 and the tsw is more like the csl elite.

The thrustmaster pedals with conical mod can be worlds better than you had them setup to be, you need to adjust the cone so it sits closer to the brake, which reduces the amount of travel before you hit the threshold, you start getting pressure feedback sooner and you have to push fairly hard to brake fully. I now have T-LCM pedals with an elastomer mod, but honestly the conical mod isn't far off when you set it up right.

Great to see gear being given some air time that doesn’t cost the earth. I’d like to see you try the TX / T300 because I believe that base is the best value in sim racing, it’s gives you almost what the TSXW does for a lot less money.

I bought the TS300RS, the T LCM pedals and the TH8 7 speed gear shifter(I haven't used the shifter yet). All on a GT Omega adjustable stand. I finally got it all adjusted and setup up yesterday. So far I used it on F1 2020 and AC for PS4. I spent about 4 hours on AC last night just mainly doing practice laps around the Monza F1 track with various cars. This is my first wheel and pedal set. But so far the feedback is pretty good and everything works as it should. You can really tell the thing is working at the chicane at the end of the start/finish straight. And at other parts of the track where it isn't as smooth as you'd think it would be, you can really feel it. So far, I feel this is the best bang for your buck in entry level SIM equipment. It's above the toy level of the T80 and the T150, but it's at the price point where you get a lot of value equipment wise for your money. My intent was to just enjoy F1 2020 properly, but if I really enjoyed it, move on to some of the other sims and potentially play online against others. At that point I may upgrade to a direct drive, I would probably make the move to Fanatec, the CSL stuff looks to be good enough for me, I'll probably move to a pc based system and do a proper cockpit rig of some sort at that point. But in the event, the SIM racing hobby wasn't for me, I feel I bought a decent entry level rig that someone else could enjoy at a discount, that didn't break the bank for me, and would have decent value for resale.

T300s max torque output is like maybe half of the xw

@@gankdalfthedank9855 it's not all about torque, it's about what information you get through the wheel. People are obsessed with torque these days!

Waiting for part 3 👌🤘

Looking forward to the next one of these videos. Originally I was waiting for sales on the Logitech 923, but after a bit more research in the meantime I’m currently looking at the TM T300 or TS-PC and T-LCM pedals. Still deciding on shifter and handbrake though. I’m considering the Fanatec Clubsport 1.5 for both, since that covers H & sequential and the two mount together nicely, which is preferable for the space I have. Or possibly I could go for the Fanatec CSL DD, since pricing is not too bad on that it seems.

I went with the t-lcm pedals, sparco rally wheel which is round and tx servo base for $600 us.. alacarte is the way to go

Heya if you turn the mod around and put a strong spring in there they feel better

Wheel base is great but you must buy TCLM’s to complete the package

Likely that going for Thrustmaster T300 or TX bases would be a better option than lolgitech. My path was Logitrch Gt---> Thrustmaster tx with T3PA Pro Pedals and TH8A Shifter---->Fanatec CS 2.5 with TLCM pedals.

Hi there. Have you stoped this series? I was really liking it! Cheers

Actually the 'old' G25 / G27 with just a linear spring in the brake, and this Thrustmaster pedal without the rubber mod, are actually pressure sensitive. Very weak, but with a linear spring, force and potentiometer change linearly with eachother. So yes, you're measuring position, but if the position doubles, so does the force. Tricky to control because it is so light. A rubber mod like the one provided by TM here is actually probably more problematic unless they very precisely alter the calibration of the pot. Feels better on the foot, and with cars that have no downforce, might be more controllable. For high downforce cars where you have to bleed off the brakes from 100% to 0% smoothly, this is probably way harder with the rubber mod installed. As far as I know, Logitech say they changed the 'curve' on the potentiometer to reflect the progressive spring or whatever they use. If this is true, I would expect that brake pedal to feel more natural than the TM pedal with rubber mod. Despite feeling 'weak' I wouldn't use the rubber mod on the TM pedals.

Great, informative video series. I assume its not possible as you started with the F GT Lite cockpit but is there any advice or tips on mounting TS-XW to a desk swt up and potentially using load cells on the same set up. (Seen alot of posts on reddit showcase such set ups but wounded what insight you'd have )

A solid desk is fine for the wheel. For pedals you’ll need some way of fixing them to your chair so they don’t slide. Some people just use a wooden plank with some straps quite effectively.

I use these Thrustmaster pedals on the carpet and haven't noticed any flex whatsoever. Also, who breaks like that with the heel up lol. But I wouldn't use the mod, it just adds inconsistency. Also, the brake pressure needed to apply is definitely increasing, maybe you're not used to breaking on pedals like that because you're used to LCs. However, I'm looking forward to the next episode of the series to see how Loadcells do on the foldable rig. Trying to put the CSL DD with Loadcell pedals in that foldable rig because I'm travelling between cities as a student over the next two years.

Thank you so much for your video! I purchased the thrust master TX for my Xbox. I have recently updated my consul to Xbox series X. I am now having continued problems when I want to game with Forza horizon four. I try to change the advanced settings but the consul does not update. I logout of the game and restart Xbox. About 20% of the time my thrust master steering wheel updates. Sometimes I switch to a different steering game like dirt five and then come back to horizon four and the steering Consol is all over the place. I have posted this problem on forums and reached out to the company directly. Everyone has told me it is compatible with Xbox series X. I am hoping your expertise can help me troubleshoot my thrust master steering wheel. Thank you for your time.

Thankfully they sell the wheelbase on it's own now
