Exactly! Sim racing wouldn’t even exist as it does without entry level gear. That’s what I like about the sim community from what I have seen. People get excited for you when you get your first g29 or T150.

Great review. I've had my TS-PC racer for about a year and a half now and I love it and it's holding up very well and in my book has been a solid investment. While I own the 599xxx rim, I wish they would give us the option to purchase this new 488 rim separately. Oh and RaceRoom is a very solid sim and has some of the best sounds and FFB of any sim.

Thanks very much for making these reviews!

Another great review Bazza !! You Shaun Cole( SimPit) and Will Marsh (SimRacingPaddock) have to get together sometime and do some reviews.... it would be awesome for the sim community....I agree with a earlier comment, how about a run down or a starters guide to building a PC for Sim Racing... Im relatively new to Sim Racing and am about to upgrade to a OSW, decent pedals and shifter but have found im also going to have to upgrade my PC as well, and being a person thats come from using consoles and not much of a computer person I have to say it can be quite daunting and intimidating trying to find or build something that will meet what im looking for...Keep up the Great work though always look forward to watching your new videos

Impressive Motor size plus I like the larger Shaft size on the transfer pully between the Motor and the main shaft, Plus I se this model has an actual Belt adjustment bolt for tension rather then just pulling up on motor like the t300. I think the Motor Has an internal cooling fan also

I just ordered a TS-PC, i recently bought -4- defect TX Wheels in a row so i'm hoping that this is gonna be it. GREAT review btw.

Barry you are the man! Love your reviews, they really are the best. I was hoping you might givee some advice, I bought a used Thrustmaster TSPC Racer a couple months ago and it suddenly stopped working. I feel like I've exhausted any program/software issues, was hoping you might suggest some hardware stuff to look into. E.g. power supply and wheel base problems to look for or test. I dont necessarily need much detail, I'm good at repairs, just hoping you could give me a couple suggestions on what to look for or test. I've opened the wheel base and nothing seems off or burnt. Thanks for your help Barry you're the best!

Barry - imo RaceRoom has the best FFB and audio immersion of all the current sims (although terrible UI for knowing what content you've purchased), hope you enjoy it more and more. Thanks for the great Wheel review!

I wish the wheel was available on its own. I want to put it on my T300RS base. But I already have the 599 wheel, so maybe the difference wouldn't be that noticable.

If you had to pick between this and fanatec csl wheel base what would you choose Barry?

Excellent review as always! How would you compare this to the Fanatec CSL Elite? Which one would you recommend?

i just subscribed to your youtube channel ,thanx for all the in debt revues they are the best iv seen any where.i have a question i have a G 29 set up for the play station 4 GRAND TOURISM SPORT id would like to add the FANATEC CSL PEDALS with the load cell ,will they work with the g29 steering wheel ?thank you .

Do you plan on making a video on tactile immersion? Im talking about bass shakers separate to the buttkicker range so sub 150$ using simvibe. Would be very interested on your opinion on how to mount such on an aluminum rig.

Honestly the coolest looking PSU ever.

you know what would be nice when reviewing wheels and bases, doing some powerslides or some drifts (if you know how to) to check the wheel's spin speed from lock to lock.

If you are in the under $500 price range I highly recommend giving Thrustmaster TX or this TSPC wheelbase a try. I was much happier when I switched from the Fanatec CSL wheelbase to the TX like 3-4 years ago. Several steering wheels to choose from now. The pedals are total crap though so I still use the very nice Fanatec set with load cell brake. Most PC games will let you set it up to use both at same time.

Hi Barry, would you be able to do a teardown of the wheel itself. I'm very interested to see how they achieve to have the rev LED working using the standard DIN connector! Thanks!

3 жыл бұрын

One bit at a time - that DIN connector is a serial port.

I wish Thrustmaster would sell the Ferrari 488 Challenge Wheel Replica as an Add-On for us to buy for whatever wheelbase we want. This wheel looks epic and I would love to use the LED strip.

haha i think i might have a man-crush on uncle Barry. That voice of smoothness sends me into a trance :)

Hi iv had this base for about a year and the force feedback has stopped working all the buttons,axis work in the control panel but no effects..The cooling fan is also running no stop even if my pc is shut down. Any idea what's gone wrong? love your channel . Thanks for your time 👍

Isn't supposed to be compared with CSL-E?

i have the TS-PC racer with a open bottom formula rim that they give you with it. do you reckon its possible to take the part the wheel connects to on the driving shaft of the wheelbase off and flip it upside down and put it back on. so i could put my wheel upside down back on the rig and have it register as normal? i want to do this so i can have an open top wheel for GT3 cars somtimes and put it back to normal for open bottom like F1 cars.

I’m looking to upgrade once my g920 goes, which hopefully isn’t for a long time. Barry do you see advantages of a true belt driven only system opposed to a hybrid system? I’m unsure which to get, of course if I have the money I’d go for a direct drive wheel. I just want an opinion on the best of the best force feedback wheel as my rig may not support direct drive wheels (next level racing f-gt lite)

What's the best full package (wheel, base, pedals) I can get for under $400? I was going to get the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT but have read a lot of negative feedback regarding it having various parts failing in less than a year.

RR is the business

Not sure if "quick release" applies to Thrustmasters wheel to wheelbase connection system. But, if the screw is cinched down properly, I don't think you will ever have a problem with the connection loosening.

I didn't expect you to like this servo after driving D.D.

@simracinggarage3026

I do my best to keep the proper perspective when reviewing non DD wheelbases.

there is a rubber dampening suspension system. By suspending the fan in the rubber it dampens and removes harmonics.

Does the Ferrari 488 challenge Wheel Fanaleds work for the T500 oder T300 with the ps4?

Anyone know if this is much better than the tx servo? Just bought the tx a month ago and compared to the g920 it’s just sooo much better with feel

When they say 400 watt peak power does that mean 400 watts from your psu that it will use?

How do you think this brushless engine can last so powerful? Do you need maintenance? If it breaks you can replace? 🙃

I'm sorry to see so much plastic in a 600 $ base, I think the same of the CSL Elite, is it possible that the most "economic" wheel I can buy with the master shaft in metal is the Fanatec Club Sport? For now I tried the G27 and the T300 and they both seem to break when drifting, they feel economic but they aren't when you buy them.

im looking to upgrade from my Tx & T3pa pros, was looking to get the Fanatec CS v2.5 and the V3 pedals (with brake kit) (rather not get custom like HV or pt2) i mainly drift on AC etc for practice my IRL stuff & also casual race / Love rally & also love chilling on games like FH4 with mates & have "driving nights". i have a great cockpit the K2 & monitor setup the samsung super ultrawide but i feel the Thrustmaster gear itself is lacking, think is more a high end toy than a Piece of rim racing tools. do you think it would be good upgrade to make? coming from TM stuff & for more realism especially as a tool for drifting,
