Ive used this wheel in The Crew, Project Cars, Need For Speed (2016) and soon will use it in Forza Horizon 3 and so far i have 0 Problems at all its great and to answer the question specifically Yes its very smooth infact thats one of my favorite things to do with this wheel to just smoothly turn corners in car games. Hope this helps :D
I had the Thrustmaster 458 Spider which was a great first wheel for me. For Forza 6, I used the the lowest sensitivity (4 light flashes) which allowed me to have the most control over the cars, anything less then that felt to twitchy. I have since upgraded to the Logitech G920, which I'm enjoying, not sure how the force feedback compares to the other wheels because I haven't tried them. But so far it is serving me well. It's awesome being able to also use it on PC for DIRT Rally!
Inside Sim Racing No, I was expecting an actual buyers guide on what to look for when buying a racing wheel set. This is more like a spec sheet in a long video form for 5 different racing wheels with some real world opinions squeezed in it.
@@katanamast279 I dont really know whats the deal with the compatibility, if it has that same port... why cant they make stuff compatible across all platforms... oh wait, they want money
I'm happy with my TX Leather + T3PA. It's my first wheel so cannot really compare it with other models, but after changing some settings to personal preferences the wheel feels really nice.
Yep. TX wheel crushes. Brushless motor belt system makes for nice smooth ffb. $295. Can't beat this wheel unless you wanna spend over $1,000 on Fanatec.
I upgraded from a tx to fanatec for Christmas. If you can't afford fanatec the tx is a very nice base especially now that you can bundle it with the leather rim and better pedals.
Darin, if you have the Turtle Beach Elite 800X headsets (wireless headset). You do Xbox Live chat wireless. Plus the headset has Bluetooth & can connect to 2 devices at once. I connect it to both my cell phone & tablet. Which comes in handy when playing Project CARS & you're using that Crew Chief for Project CARS app.
+Inside Sim Racing The Madcatz wheel has a 1 Year warranty, and they are backordered at the moment until the end of January, meaning that people wont have their wheel until then. Also, it is not an entry level wheel by any means, it is a well built wheel with cusomizable features that no other wheel can offer at the moment such as: Throttle and brake stiffness can be adjusted, and the angle that the wheel sits can be adjusted as well, plus the reliable force feedback. I don't think you give this wheel as much credit as you could, you reviewed it when the only available game to use it with was Forza 5. I suggest if you get the firmware update and/or buy a wheel after the backorder you should review it again and base your opinion on how it feels in games, now that there are a handfull of racing releases on the One. It could be cheaper, but it is a little too much to say you should scratch it off the list for wheels. It would make my day if you could give the wheel a second chance. Thanks.
+Cough Cough We have one here and based on their broken promises of new rims and a PC driver, it's not a very viable option compared to the competition. We still feel that it's over priced for what you get. Also just looked for pre-order and or back order status at their site and Amazon and we didn't see anything. Under $300 or even close to $200 is what we feel this wheel should be priced at.
Well thanks for replying and further explaining. I understand where you guys stand about it, but I've called Madcatz multiple times, and they're making a mass quantity of wheels, which all should be at a cheaper price considering the amount of sale's they'll have to push. Hopefully when they're back on their feet again they'll consider either making a different model for Xbox one and PC, or start to introduce new rims. Thanks again for making a great video.
I play forza enough to make the fanatec worth it. There's no way i can afford a real drift car so i wouldn't mind spending 3 grand on a badass setup instead of a junk ass car.
+MechHead Naga GMG Depending where you are -- I initially got my S13/SR20 for $2750, which is more engine than you need to start. Looking hard, you can get one with a straight frame and running KA for ~$1500. Weld the diff, put on nice front tires, drift about six events. Then look into suspension upgrades -- and there are incredibly low cost options. It doesn't get costly unless you swap, and even going KA-T has bolt-on kits (watch Drift Garage S1), and is not a bad option, at all. You can even get an E46 for pretty cheap these days. There are lots of options. We have people with old Corollas, FB RX7s with 5.0's, etc etc. Go to an event. Talk to drivers. For drift sim, Forza ridiculously doesn't allow steering angle mods. Modifying our knuckles is one of the first super-cheap suspension changes we make. Check out rFactor 1. Pretty much any track you can imagine, online tandems going all the time, and not a resource hog -- you can run it off an old PC. Not as pretty, but it well makes up the difference. And, you can run triple monitors. Oooooh :D
alright... so you'd spend 3 grand on a video game when you could've used that on a real car instead even if it's not a real drift car I'd rather have the real car
Yeah but even just any car you can probably get a decent one for 3 grand... I'd rather put all that money into a car instead of a game... unless I was rich then yeah I'd go all out
TX owner and happy with it. There was no Logitech option back in the day, otherwise I would have bought it because I heard so many complains about TX failures that I got scared to buy one (hell, I'm scared to this day to do a firmware update). Anyway, I originally bought it to play Forza 5, I had no PC back then and no other use for it. Being afraid of buying a wheel that would fail considering I dont have warranty/support overseas (I'm in Brazil), I ended up buying a used one that was proven to be working for sometime. On the plus side I saved a few bucks and even got a T500RS pedal set as the previous owner upgraded to all Fanatec gear. Time went on and so did my gaming, I first upgraded to a GTE rim, which made a HUGE difference from the stock POS rim. I also prefer the all-round design, it feels a lil bigger and less toy-like. I then bought the TH8A shifter, which was a nice addition, but if it depended on Forza alone, not sure I would buy it again because as cool as the shifter may be, it just doesn't feel real even with the hardest spring setting (guess i the clunk in feel that goes along with a hard clutch), contributing to the feel of not driving a full manual is the non-responsive soft clutch on the T500RS (dont think any of the available pedals do have some sort of feedback on the clutch, nor do games provide it in code) really miss that "clunk feeling", so I'm not crazy about it. I did, however, ended up using the shifter on 90 degree angle as a Handbrake when I finally bought a PC for gaming (it has this built in function with software adjustment) and with this function the th8a really compensates for its cost, it's just too bad that the handbrake doesnt work on the Xbox one, just on the PC. Now, about a year later, I bought a PC and also started playing DiRT Rally, which I must say, made me nearly forget about Forza. I moved on to a 3 monitor setup on the PC and I must say I am very happy with my wheel and overall setup. I have a wheel that is fully compatible with the xb1 and also all the addons work on the console (except for alternate handbrake function of th8a) but also fully works with the PC. I only have one complaint for this wheel, I am not sure others may have the same issue, but mine has a bit of play back and forth, it's nothing major as I tend to drive it forcing forward and with the GTE rim I really feel it less than when I had the stock plastic rim, but I would say check this out before you buy it. Right now, after the mods, I'm very happy with this setup and I do recommend the same for anyone with the stock rim, please get the GTE, it makes a whole lot of difference.
I can say that MadCatz/Tritton have EXCELLENT customer service, at least with their headphones. I contacted them about my broken headphone cable, which I told them I tripped on and they still sent a new one anyways. Then they replaced my microphones for both of my headsets. Yes, I have two 720+ trittons. On the wheel, I would still look elsewhere. It never caught on, which is a shame since their old wheels were really good for the price and the tech.
Oh yes you can sync a headset to your Thrustmaster 458 Spider without a controller. I have Turtle beach stealth 600 (wireless) headset and they sync with the wheel (2019)
The only wheels considerable in my opinion are the Logitech G920 and the Thrustmaster TX Leather. The Ferrari 428 is pretty good as a starter/entry wheel. But if you are a big sim racing fan, it's no question.
Useful video. i bought the TX when project cars came out. A really good wheel. Shame I didn't know about the Fantatec wheel being cross platform. I might have been convinced to spend more for that for the cross platform support. I have a PS4 as well and that would have opened up the ability to buy racing games on that console as well. An option that might be more enticing when Sony's VR is released and it becomes compatible with racing games. Ultimate immersion!
I have the 458 Spider and it took time to "feel" the car and road as well as the grip. It sucks for forza even with the sensitivity adjuster which i feel sucks but for project cars it runs great for me i don't need to adjust the wheel. I really wish i had more money to try out a better wheel because the table clamp still made the table wobble so i had 20 pounds hold it steady and i had another 10 pounds hold down the petals by resting them where you'd normally rest your feet and I felt cramped because the wheel was to close and the table didnt allow me to have enough space for comfort for the petals. Plus i really mean you have to practcing the feel with every car you choose (Road,GT3,LMP1,LMP2,F1,F2,F3,Classic Formula, Classic GT,etc...) try doing that while learning the feel of a track in rain while crowded with others. Point is yeah its okay because its the cheapest and is fun when you get it down but you may have trouble.
My TX wheel broke after a week of having the thing. I know people that are on their 3rd or 4th TX wheel because they keep breaking (lucky there is a warranty and they will send you a replacement). Then there are some people that got lucky and got a wheel that hasn't broken. If I could go back or get my money back I would switch to the Logitech in a heart beat. I have never had a Logitech product break.
I have the first kit of TX, sadly in my time didn't exist the kits with 3 pedals and leather wheel. But I'm happy with my purchase and wish to upgrade pedals and clutch soon.
Love my Ferrari 458 spider wheel, I know it's not the best but for me it's much more affordable than the TX although I do hope to upgrade to the TX in a couple of years time! If your like me and have never used a wheel and you don't want to spend over £100 the spider is for you! Shop to have done it for just £50 many times
Very helpful! I did not know the differences when trying to decide which one to buy on my own, let alone all the ones that were available. Thank you very much. Is there an updated list for 2017?
I have the TX wheel. It's actually pretty good. The ffb on Dirt 4 is really good and will make your arms tired after a while. The Ferrari wheel is plastic but would like to upgrade and get the GTE wheel that has a suede grip
Happy new year lads. Ended up selling my G27 at xmas and treated myself to a Thrustmaster TX + T3A pedals and an XB1. TX is such an amazing wheel ! On PC its awesome too ! Not had any problems with mine yet (touch wood).
Correction: The Fanatec V2 has a one year warranty. Bought mine on Feb 1 2016. Main motor died on July 5 2017. Fanatec said it is no longer covered under warranty. Shipped it off to their Cali repair shop. I love their stuff but was disappointed in this failure so soon. Waiting to hear about my repair cost.
my Logitech Driving Force GT finally broke. yesterday I ordered the Logitech G920. I really only race on iRacing but if the right game came along id probably buy it for the Xbox One
I recently order a Ferrari 458 spider racing wheel it's a good priced reliable wheel that is really good the one complaint pedals move around if your on a floor and headset support is annoying also I would recommend a wheel stand they work well you can adjust height length and angle but comes at a price of like £80 yeh no force feed back is annoying but it doesn't bother me.
Recently picked up the G920. It's dirt cheap from certain UK stores at the moment (£160, £25 for the shifter). Not as good as my buddy's TX but I'm more than happy with it for the price.
Thanks ISR, this buyers guide was exactly what I was looking for. It's to bad Microsoft didn't continue to make their Force feedback 360 wheel for the XBone. It was a great wheel and only $150. Looks like the Fanatec is the wheel to go with for its cross platform comparability. Might have to wait for tax returns to get it though. Thanks again :-)
Word of advice, if u want a good headset but want to avoid the compilcations with using it with a wheel then i suggest giving the Astro a40 TR editions a look as that is the only headset im aware of that doesnt plug into a controller at all. Now i havent used the headset with a wheel but i see absolutely no reason why it wont work. The headset is expensive though but u can customise or remap the soubd to what u want using a pc as well.
I have purchased Thrustmaster TX and the GTE rim and the TH8A shifter. And i love it when the wheels work. But have a lot of trouble with the wheel to get it working with the xbox one console. Thinking about buying a Fanatec set up instead and possibly a PS4 as well. If the next Grand Tourismo is good.
The tx is nice but the reaction time is bad I like the Logitech g920 because it is around 259$ now and the shifter is around 50$-60$ and the reaction time isn’t perfect but it is faster than the tx
I just spent 386 lol. I was gonna get the fanatic but I figure since this is gonna be my first wheel I better go a bit cheaper. Not to worried if I don't like it I'll just send it back or give it to my dad. How have you liked yours so far?
I have the 458 spider and its not as bad as people say, you just have to fool around with the sensitivity and dead zones a little bit. Once you get the settings your comfortable with its actually pretty good. But man really want to upgrade to the TX but the thing is $449 in Canada right now. God dammit, i wish our dollar wasn't such crap right now.
I got the ferrari 458 Thrustmaster and I loved it for the first couple of months and loved it a lot, but now the steering is stuttering... Pretty pissed about that tbh. It was so nice at first.
I had the 458 spider wheel but the resistance is no longer there after drifting hardcore after a year. Definitely wasn't worth the $. Expexting the G290 to arrive sometime today. If anyone wants the 458 Spider wheel (which still needs the resistance to be fixed) I'll sell it for $35-50.
Just got a full refund for my Mad Catz after the pedals busted😕. I had it for 18 months though, so its ended up at 18 months of racing wheel ownership for free. For those wondering it has a two year warranty (in UK). Upgrading to a G920 with shifter 😀😀😀 Happy Days
Moving up to the one from a Fanatec Gt2 wheel... Force feedback is awesome ! What wheel do I want that is comparable to the GT2 wheel , but not 1000 bucks for the hub and the wheel🙄! FU fanatec lol.
The TX wheel is a good Ffb wheel, but is so unreliable for me at least. I'm on my 2nd now and that broke after a month, the first one broke after 2. Customer Service is great by them but I can't reccomend it personally.
Just bought tx leather edition with playseat and th8 shifter and pro shifter playseat. Love it. Check out Costco amazing prices for playseat. Also D and W retail in Montreal Canada. Best prices!
What is D and W. I live in montreal too but I can't find this d and w seller. I am looking for a tx too ! Are you happy with yours and how much did you paid if you remember? :) thank you man
+SOfilmable no worries man. Go to google and type I'm D and W retail. They are 80$ cheaper on the wheels than Best Buy. Go to Costco.ca and buy the play seat evolution. They are 389.99 cdn! So many rip offs out there. Free shipping with Costco too. I got the thrustmaster tx leather edition. The playseat evolution seat, and the pro shifter. Love all of it. Worth every penny. I got the th8 shifter too really good.
+Horse From Hell Thank you so much man. I was looking with pagnian americas but the price is high in cad. I do have the th8 too and i really like it for the price. I will takr a look at it woth d and w and change my fanatec gt2. thank you again :-) good night
+SOfilmable np email me if you have questions chadwick.haines@gmail.com I can show you on twitch too. I looked for so long before I found these good prices.
Holy shit! I got the G920 and I thought I was spending too much on gaming... then there is something cost more a grand for this?? Plus the driving seat and wheel stand, these can cost a few thousands...
word to the wise. forza doesn't play very well with a wheel. I've tried every forza from 3 to 6 including both horizon games. I've never been able to get a good feel with the wheel. it's a real shame as it's a great title. just made for the game pad
+T3RRAFORM Sounds more like a personal issue,I run the Thurstmaster Tx wheel,TH8A Shifter,and G27 pedals and it feels great,you just need to play around with the FFB
fanatec or thrustmaster. that's the only options tbh. I have two of the g920s and after hours of phone time with BOTH Microsoft and logitech I had to figure out there is a power supply problem to when the ffb kicks in it Will disconnect and the led goes out causing you to lose shifters and it will pause and change view like crazy. I thought sure every company sure has lemons but to get two in a row at different purchase times. no way. stay away from the g920 at all cost.
+Cetric Anderson Did we recommend the Spider ? It's a Thrustmaster wheel. We also had good things to say about Fanatec and Logitech in this video. Maybe you didn't watch all the way through. Also you should read the comments from the public here in this video about the TX.
Mad Catz has been floundering like all hell as of late. They're in danger of going bankrupt, plus at least one of their higher-ups have left the company, so it shouldn't surprise anyone as to why the Pro FFB isn't selling.
Well too bad if was total shit for you lol, looks like you got money to spend on expensive wheels ,anyway it works fine for me i'm not trying to be a professional racer ,or impress my buddy's or anyone for that matter.
Greg Mayled . Right, but it's still a decent upgrade above just using a controller and for mod that's all they need. If you'd think you would want a wheel with force feedback, then I'd avoid the Spider too. It's not garbage , just limited. I have hard time spending that kind of money on it, I'll get myself a used one on for cheap, but that would I still require someone to buy it and either move on or up and sell the spider. Although it would be nice for more people to go out and spending money on a FF wheel and then flood the used market with them once many of them found out they just didn't care for it.
That's great news about the products But what about the Force feed back STRENGTH that's what I am more interested in I want to buy the Xbox fanatic set up I have all the other wheels And on every one I can tell the difference between them But I want a 100% real feel
why does the thrustmaster 2013 steering wheel with 2 pedals cost 150$ more than the same thing from 2018? the only main difference seems to be Force Feedback on the 2013 model. I cant spend $400, but $100 seems too cheap. What are some good mid range priced options other than a wheel from 2013? Thanks
I have the thrust master Ferrari 458 spider racing wheel and I'm pretty sure it has a 270 degrees rotation? lol not 240 though I highly recommend it has I got it on sep 5 2016 which I have had it almost 4 months my friend is getting the same one for Christmas, then my other friend had his for 1 year then he really recommend it, has we mainly play farming simulator 15 though now 17 it isn't too much of a racing game anyhow
+Revive I sell the TX on my sim racing website for well under $500 Canadian ($460). My site is gtaprosims.com if you wanna check it out. The TX is SO much better than the G9 series. G27 was great for the price, but I absolutely refuse to carry the G29 series. $400 for a G27 with a DFGT rim and excluding a shifter. Horrible business pracice from logitech. Sucks because I grew up with their products.
I TOO would like to see a PC guide & am much looking forward to it. I have Logitech GFP used a few times, a g25 & g27 that still are in the box never used. Is it worth while to sell my gear to upgrade to a fanatic csw v2. THX for a reply :)
Gonna be getting my first wheel ready for Forza Horizon 3 on PC thanks for your help guys!
What wheel are you gonna get? :)
i got the Thrustmaster RS500 and love it :D

It sucks for forza even with the sensitivity adjuster which i feel sucks but for project cars it runs great for me i don't need to adjust the wheel. I really wish i had more money to try out a better wheel because the table clamp still made the table wobble so i had 20 pounds hold it steady and i had another 10 pounds hold down the petals by resting them where you'd normally rest your feet and I felt cramped because the wheel was to close and the table didnt allow me to have enough space for comfort for the petals. Plus i really mean you have to practcing the feel with every car you choose (Road,GT3,LMP1,LMP2,F1,F2,F3,Classic Formula, Classic GT,etc...) try doing that while learning the feel of a track in rain while crowded with others. Point is yeah its okay because its the cheapest and is fun when you get it down but you may have trouble.
My TX wheel broke after a week of having the thing. I know people that are on their 3rd or 4th TX wheel because they keep breaking (lucky there is a warranty and they will send you a replacement). Then there are some people that got lucky and got a wheel that hasn't broken. If I could go back or get my money back I would switch to the Logitech in a heart beat. I have never had a Logitech product break.
I've played NFS using my G27 wheel by connecting something called MaxRace F1 V4 for Xbone. But I mainly got it for Forza Horizion2, love that game!
I loved this channel in the old days. but it can't be overseen that thrustmasters are a big sponsor here.
I have the first kit of TX, sadly in my time didn't exist the kits with 3 pedals and leather wheel. But I'm happy with my purchase and wish to upgrade pedals and clutch soon.
Love my Ferrari 458 spider wheel, I know it's not the best but for me it's much more affordable than the TX although I do hope to upgrade to the TX in a couple of years time! If your like me and have never used a wheel and you don't want to spend over £100 the spider is for you! Shop to have done it for just £50 many times
Very helpful! I did not know the differences when trying to decide which one to buy on my own, let alone all the ones that were available. Thank you very much. Is there an updated list for 2017?
Great video guys I've been thinking of picking up a integral tx set, now I know it's the right choice.
I have the TX wheel. It's actually pretty good. The ffb on Dirt 4 is really good and will make your arms tired after a while. The Ferrari wheel is plastic but would like to upgrade and get the GTE wheel that has a suede grip
1:24 That latency.
That’s the game animations not latency
I just ordered a Subsonic Steering wheel one i could afford its been years since i used ps2 Steering wheel
Happy new year lads. Ended up selling my G27 at xmas and treated myself to a Thrustmaster TX + T3A pedals and an XB1. TX is such an amazing wheel ! On PC its awesome too ! Not had any problems with mine yet (touch wood).
I've had my TX since launch in November 2013. Over 700 hrs of racing & zero issues with mine :)
+1989pulsar - Nice! I love it. Just waiting to get the F1 wheel add-on now along with the shifter.
Are these wheels compatible with the new Xbox one S? thanks! great video.
yes
Which wheel is compatible with the Xbox one s
All wheels in this video are compatible with the Xbox one s.
Any Xbox one controller will work on any Xbox one 🤦♂️
what about x?
I miss these guys
Correction: The Fanatec V2 has a one year warranty. Bought mine on Feb 1 2016. Main motor died on July 5 2017. Fanatec said it is no longer covered under warranty. Shipped it off to their Cali repair shop. I love their stuff but was disappointed in this failure so soon. Waiting to hear about my repair cost.
Nice to see fanatec building a cross platform wheel, thrustmaster could of cornered the market, if they did the same, without the cash grab base.
The thing I liked about the mad catz is how the paddle shifters have two per side
my Logitech Driving Force GT finally broke. yesterday I ordered the Logitech G920. I really only race on iRacing but if the right game came along id probably buy it for the Xbox One
I recently order a Ferrari 458 spider racing wheel it's a good priced reliable wheel that is really good the one complaint pedals move around if your on a floor and headset support is annoying also I would recommend a wheel stand they work well you can adjust height length and angle but comes at a price of like £80 yeh no force feed back is annoying but it doesn't bother me.
picked up an madcatz for 150 dollar and I must say its very good. a shame that madcatz abandoned it because its a good nquality product.
Recently picked up the G920. It's dirt cheap from certain UK stores at the moment (£160, £25 for the shifter). Not as good as my buddy's TX but I'm more than happy with it for the price.
Hi plz can you tell me were u got your wheel for that price? I live in the
+lewis MontanA Birmingham
+lewis MontanA Got mine on the PC World site.
MrAJPW ok thanks
Thanks ISR, this buyers guide was exactly what I was looking for. It's to bad Microsoft didn't continue to make their Force feedback 360 wheel for the XBone. It was a great wheel and only $150. Looks like the Fanatec is the wheel to go with for its cross platform comparability. Might have to wait for tax returns to get it though. Thanks again :-)
*compatibility
whoaaaa. that's crazy. I was just watching the video with the 458 spider when u asked the guy for permission. that's crazy. haha
Who tf is gonna drop a rack on a Xbox accessory 🤡
People that play xbox
Xbox genius
Im pretty sure the t3pa and pro pedals are compatible with the spider wheel because the connector is the same as stock pedals!
Just subbed guys :) very good video and very well explained. Thinking of the fanatic one 😁😎💯
My TX has just died after just over 2 years of good use. So based on this, another TX will be purchased. Cheers.
Word of advice, if u want a good headset but want to avoid the compilcations with using it with a wheel then i suggest giving the Astro a40 TR editions a look as that is the only headset im aware of that doesnt plug into a controller at all. Now i havent used the headset with a wheel but i see absolutely no reason why it wont work. The headset is expensive though but u can customise or remap the soubd to what u want using a pc as well.
Just need a mixamp
G29 and g920 are amazing
I have purchased Thrustmaster TX and the GTE rim and the TH8A shifter.
And i love it when the wheels work.
But have a lot of trouble with the wheel to get it working with the xbox one console.
Thinking about buying a Fanatec set up instead and possibly a PS4 as well.
If the next Grand Tourismo is good.
The tx is nice but the reaction time is bad I like the Logitech g920 because it is around 259$ now and the shifter is around 50$-60$ and the reaction time isn’t perfect but it is faster than the tx
Braden perdue Got mine for $150 on Black Friday
I just spent 386 lol. I was gonna get the fanatic but I figure since this is gonna be my first wheel I better go a bit cheaper. Not to worried if I don't like it I'll just send it back or give it to my dad. How have you liked yours so far?
this was a very helpful video I went with the TX
I have the 458 spider and its not as bad as people say, you just have to fool around with the sensitivity and dead zones a little bit. Once you get the settings your comfortable with its actually pretty good. But man really want to upgrade to the TX but the thing is $449 in Canada right now. God dammit, i wish our dollar wasn't such crap right now.
so the logitech g920 is not good , it seems very well build and reliable !
I got the ferrari 458 Thrustmaster and I loved it for the first couple of months and loved it a lot, but now the steering is stuttering... Pretty pissed about that tbh.
It was so nice at first.
I had the 458 spider wheel but the resistance is no longer there after drifting hardcore after a year. Definitely wasn't worth the $. Expexting the G290 to arrive sometime today. If anyone wants the 458 Spider wheel (which still needs the resistance to be fixed) I'll sell it for $35-50.
Trey Do not buy the Logitech wheel. It is literally trash
Note: the V2 base is now upgraded to V2.5. Price is $100 lower than what the V2 was but it's still $500.
Just got a full refund for my Mad Catz after the pedals busted😕. I had it for 18 months though, so its ended up at 18 months of racing wheel ownership for free. For those wondering it has a two year warranty (in UK). Upgrading to a G920 with shifter 😀😀😀 Happy Days
Damn, really just wish I could use my 360 wheel. Please microsoft, PLEEEEEEASE
Moving up to the one from a Fanatec Gt2 wheel... Force feedback is awesome !
What wheel do I want that is comparable to the GT2 wheel , but not 1000 bucks for the hub and the wheel🙄! FU fanatec lol.
The TX wheel is a good Ffb wheel, but is so unreliable for me at least. I'm on my 2nd now and that broke after a month, the first one broke after 2. Customer Service is great by them but I can't reccomend it personally.
Just bought tx leather edition with playseat and th8 shifter and pro shifter playseat. Love it. Check out Costco amazing prices for playseat. Also D and W retail in Montreal Canada. Best prices!
What is D and W. I live in montreal too but I can't find this d and w seller. I am looking for a tx too ! Are you happy with yours and how much did you paid if you remember? :) thank you man
+SOfilmable no worries man. Go to google and type I'm D and W retail. They are 80$ cheaper on the wheels than Best Buy. Go to Costco.ca and buy the play seat evolution. They are 389.99 cdn! So many rip offs out there. Free shipping with Costco too. I got the thrustmaster tx leather edition. The playseat evolution seat, and the pro shifter. Love all of it. Worth every penny. I got the th8 shifter too really good.
+Horse From Hell Thank you so much man. I was looking with pagnian americas but the price is high in cad. I do have the th8 too and i really like it for the price. I will takr a look at it woth d and w and change my fanatec gt2. thank you again :-) good night
+SOfilmable np email me if you have questions chadwick.haines@gmail.com I can show you on twitch too. I looked for so long before I found these good prices.
Picked up the G920 for £135 down from £300 on Black Friday
the 458 spyder has a glitch which takes away the fun from ALL the games
What is it specifically? Never heard too much about that wheel
Holy shit! I got the G920 and I thought I was spending too much on gaming... then there is something cost more a grand for this?? Plus the driving seat and wheel stand, these can cost a few thousands...
Thanks for doing this!
PS- wheel must be compatible with the fanatec clubsport shifter(yay 7 speed!), and fanatec (mid range elite) pedals...
Finding the right Wheel has been the only thing that is keeping me from getting a Xbox one and forza!
word to the wise. forza doesn't play very well with a wheel. I've tried every forza from 3 to 6 including both horizon games. I've never been able to get a good feel with the wheel. it's a real shame as it's a great title. just made for the game pad
+Chris Barr - Have you tried the TX Chris ?
+T3RRAFORM what wheel did you try?
+T3RRAFORM Sounds more like a personal issue,I run the Thurstmaster Tx wheel,TH8A Shifter,and G27 pedals and it feels great,you just need to play around with the FFB
+DG Filmz yes I use the TX and the T3PA pro pedals and it feels almost as good as GT6 with my T500RS
All I really need is something that's compatible with the 360 and one due to cost restraints and space saving
Best wheel without force feedback for the Xbox One except the 458 ferrari and Hori? Any others???
have you ever heard of a pc/ps3/ps4 controller converter by hooks?... it works !!!
feeling bad vibes from mad cats so Gina go with Logitech since I'm cheap I think it will be decent for my first wheel setup
Trust me the Logitech is the best value for money and most reliable wheel, it also feel awesome. There's a lot of problems with the thrusmasters.
It defiantly is NOT cheap quality also
You guys are awesome keep up the good work
Mad Catz pro racing Steering Wheel looks amazing!!!!
7:46
+Dalton Finney I dont going to buy it because it doesn't have clutch pedal
McLaren Automotive the wheel is trash tho get a thrustmaster i have one and it works wonders
fanatec or thrustmaster. that's the only options tbh. I have two of the g920s and after hours of phone time with BOTH Microsoft and logitech I had to figure out there is a power supply problem to when the ffb kicks in it Will disconnect and the led goes out causing you to lose shifters and it will pause and change view like crazy. I thought sure every company sure has lemons but to get two in a row at different purchase times. no way. stay away from the g920 at all cost.
If I don't know any better I would think you guys work for thrustmaster. every wheel you guys review you plug the TX.
+Cetric Anderson Did we recommend the Spider ? It's a Thrustmaster wheel. We also had good things to say about Fanatec and Logitech in this video. Maybe you didn't watch all the way through. Also you should read the comments from the public here in this video about the TX.
Mad Catz has been floundering like all hell as of late. They're in danger of going bankrupt, plus at least one of their higher-ups have left the company, so it shouldn't surprise anyone as to why the Pro FFB isn't selling.
I just bought the 458 spider to start with it's a great wheel on a great price 99 bucks.
What are you saying? It's total shit. I've been looking to replace it since I've bought it. Possibly a Logitech G920
Well too bad if was total shit for you lol, looks like you got money to spend on expensive wheels ,anyway it works fine for me i'm not trying to be a professional racer ,or impress my buddy's or anyone for that matter.
neither am I, its taken me ages to now afford my logitech at 215 pounds. And i won't be showing it off
Greg Mayled . Right, but it's still a decent upgrade above just using a controller and for mod that's all they need. If you'd think you would want a wheel with force feedback, then I'd avoid the Spider too. It's not garbage , just limited. I have hard time spending that kind of money on it, I'll get myself a used one on for cheap, but that would I still require someone to buy it and either move on or up and sell the spider.
Although it would be nice for more people to go out and spending money on a FF wheel and then flood the used market with them once many of them found out they just didn't care for it.
checkout the input lag in this video
Please do for playstation 4 also, really helpfull video !
+Vic Covemaecker they already have.
***** Oh didn't know sorry
the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel works for pc...
all I want is force feedback turn signals 3 pedals a 6sp shifter and a hydraulic e brake
Are you doing it wrong if you don't mount the wheel? I feel like you cant play on a couch if you want to use a wheel.
Why the fuck would you spend 1300 dollars on a wheel?!
Because it's awesome!
cause they can't get laid
That's great news about the products
But what about the
Force feed back STRENGTH
that's what I am more interested in
I want to buy the Xbox fanatic set up
I have all the other wheels
And on every one I can tell the difference between them
But I want a 100% real feel
those steering wheels look to loose? the perfect wheel for me would to have a tight rubber band feel when turning the wheel for me.
But the main question is does any of them come with air-bags?
why does the thrustmaster 2013 steering wheel with 2 pedals cost 150$ more than the same thing from 2018? the only main difference seems to be Force Feedback on the 2013 model.
I cant spend $400, but $100 seems too cheap.
What are some good mid range priced options other than a wheel from 2013?
Thanks
I got the 458 spider but without the force feedback feels off, been looking at the tx recently, hope I helped!
lol is john trying to shift down at 10:00?
G920 FTW!!
0:22 look at the man on the lefts face!
I will never buy another fanatec wheel after spending $600 on the CSR Elite for it to just be worthless now.
How much better is the TX 458 than the TMX
richard layman worst actually
I have the thrust master Ferrari 458 spider racing wheel and I'm pretty sure it has a 270 degrees rotation? lol not 240 though I highly recommend it has I got it on sep 5 2016 which I have had it almost 4 months my friend is getting the same one for Christmas, then my other friend had his for 1 year then he really recommend it, has we mainly play farming simulator 15 though now 17 it isn't too much of a racing game anyhow
Great and informative
Thanks for your guidance but u didn't talk toomuch about logitech g920 is it good or not?
What do you think is the better choice out of the G920 and the TX 458 racing wheel?
what is "brushed" motors (and whats the difference versus a none brushed one?)
ZDY brushless are faster and more efficient compared to brushed.
I'm looking for a wheel that I can use for my pc now and then also be able to use when the Xbox scorpio comes out anything yet or too early
Your poor poor thing
@@juanm2192 damn I don’t even remember commenting this lmao
I think I'm going with the g920, I would really like to go with the tx but I want a full setup and for the g920 its about $450 and the tx was $600
+Revive I sell the TX on my sim racing website for well under $500 Canadian ($460). My site is gtaprosims.com if you wanna check it out. The TX is SO much better than the G9 series. G27 was great for the price, but I absolutely refuse to carry the G29 series. $400 for a G27 with a DFGT rim and excluding a shifter. Horrible business pracice from logitech. Sucks because I grew up with their products.
and the t3pa pedals on the 458 spider wheel cos I'm not made of money I just want a cheap racing set up
My tx wheel has stopped workings and smoke comes out of the vents when I plug it in, how can I get it fix/replaced?
+Cain Mc Ginley Contact Thrustmaster
+Inside Sim Racing ok thanks
+Cain Mc Ginley lol
Do PC Guide
Trying to get one out before the end of the year.
Jonathan Öhrn it's just everything
I TOO would like to see a PC guide & am much looking forward to it.
I have Logitech GFP used a few times, a g25 & g27 that still are in the box never used.
Is it worth while to sell my gear to upgrade to a fanatic csw v2.
THX for a reply :)
Buying a fanatec for xbox makes no sense but buying one for ps3 or ps4 makes sense wth?
