Agree about the price. I think they should lower the price at this point and just retire the T300. Let the T-GT II be their belt driven option at a more affordable price.
@@powerpaul1423 got my TLCMs for 160.. paird with the G pro that i got for 600 on ebay boxed never opened im super happy.. on pc there are some very good copys of high end pedals like the simjacks and simmsons that are better than the tlcm pedals and are properly adjustable for the same or less money than the normal price for tlcm... even then ive been very happy with the performance f my tlcm pedals in the 6 mnths ive had them
Had my TGT2 for 3 weeks (upgraded from an overheating T300) was actually shocked how good it is. From the way the car feels to the transducer. Coupled it with the SF1000 and it’s excellent. Might be coincidence but I was hovering around high D to low C rating in GT7, now high C just near B rating. Not sure how much of that is down to the base (if any) but I’ll take it :)
I loved my TGT2 I upgraded to the Fanatec ecosystem with the DD Extreme. But honestly can't go wrong with the TGT 2 it was an awesome wheel and I really miss the T-DFB technology. This is why I upgraded because of full force and going to a DD wheel on top of Xbox compatibility.
Nice video Cas, support is good with thrustmaster is good to compared to some of the horror stories you hear from other brands. Had a start up issue with mine, was shipped to france, repaired and returned in 6 days.
The only thing I don't like about console ffb is the weight you feel, feels more like dead weight. On pc you feel the ffb pushing back not just the weight when turning you feel the forces on console you feel the eeight so it feels nice and heavy when turning but it feels like a dampened weight. Hard to explain. But great review man! I'm using the dd+ I have plenty of detail in most games it's just talking about pc vs consoles. Believe me I have plenty of details still its just a big difference between the two.
Thanks for the videos finally got psvr2 last week was a bit unsure when i bought it but was sold after the first lap in GT7. I also recently upgraded my wheel to the logitech g pro from a g923 its frustrating with ps5 with the limit of wheels that are compatible and the extra cost for one to be compatible with ps5. So i saved a little extra so i didnt need to upgrade again to direct drive
Had it for 2 years now. Only wheel available at a reasonable price and with support in my region. Got 4 wheel rims. Quick release mod. Thrustmaster H Pattern & TSS Spacro. Has PS support for me to play GT7 along with all of my PC sims.Upgraded to Fanatec V3 pedals with Drivehub a full aluminum rig with 4 buttkickers and VR. See no reason to change my wheel at this stage, it is more than enough.
I still love my t-gt2 with the t-lcm, much better than my t300 and for a driver as me - just driving 4 fun, enjoying nice cars and tracks - it's the best option . add vr2 to it and the evening is perfect😂. L&R, rellik
I got the TM open wheel on ebay for £50 I use it on my t300, I modded the t300 fan for a Noctura, much quieter. I managed to get the T-lcm and a TH-8a for £140 for both. I mainly got it all for GT-7, but the massively got in to iRacing and didn't want to go for the fanatic granturismo DD pro for £700 then another £140 for load cell. The whole setup with a next level racing GT lite cost under £500. thats to people buying sim gear in the pandemic then wanting to sell it. As much I love iRacing the safety rating thing is really annoying me now, I had 3 races in a row that I got knocked if track and watched my I rating and SR fall for a mistake some one else made. So ive gone back to GT7 and finding it fun
Mine developed a very noisy motor, like a rattling bearing. Thrustmaster wanted to charge me 190 Euros plus 60 Euros postage to Paris as it was out of warranty. Decided to go with the Logitech Pro and haven't looked back. Only regret is the lack of wheel choices for it.
Recently got a thrustmaster t300rs gt and I love it! Thankfully no over heating issues thus far. Will probably upgrade to a direct drive in a few years if I keep siming!
Nothing wrong with the t300 especially paired with the wheel he using it's very light so u feel everything even loved that brake conical thing I was a demon on the brakes ,
Great review. I went with the Logitech Pro DD for the bigger wheel size and 11nm and it's fantastic. With discounts I got the wheel and load cell pedals for $990 delivered full price. Any DD would be great for GT7 and psvr2 is a must. If anyone has questions on the Logitech feel free to ask.
yea , i had a problem with the fanatec dd , it would oscillate violently in gt7, no matter what settings i tried. are you telling me the logitech does not do this ? go 100mph on a straightaway and let go of the wheel, what happens?
So at 100 miles per hour if I let go of the steering wheel it does oscillate but not violently, very minimal gives you a few seconds before you must grab it and your car loses control but I can literally drive with my fingertips no issues there, the Logitech wheel has been brilliant for me.
I made vent holes and installed heatsinks on my a T300, with it I never had a problem. I have sold it, and the new user of it also have not experienced any problems. But now I don’t m using the GT DD with 9 nanometers of toque
completely agree, its ridiculous to sell something like this for €800 for A BELT DRIVEN wheel and doesn't include a T-LCM to make things worse. DD's are getting cheaper and cheaper, but Thrustmaster and Logitech are still selling outdated equipment for almost the same price as a DD...
G29 to T300 to TGT2 on PS5 and its still awesome fun. id love a DD wheel but sadly here in NZ we cant get them so im stuck using this till things change.
oh yeah man the TGT2 is a great bit of kit and does everything i need for racing on GT7. but you really need a buttkicker under your seat if you wanna take your TGT2/VR2 to the next level @@thecasualracinggamer
@@-tom-tronic- yip, a buttkicker gamer2 or pro is amazing and if you have it running thru a pc using simhub it will take your rig to the next level and you will wonder how you got on without it ;-)
Coming from a t300 the tgt2 is very good. However after 4 months I am not so sure. I too have noise and rattle issues. Fixed it myself. The fan is way too loud. And to me it seems that with same track conditions the wheel sometimes acts different. Can’t explain it. Maybe it’s me. However in the end I would not buy this again especially for the price. Would go to DD pro wheel. Even if it’s 200€ more.
@@thecasualracinggamer probably. But it shouldn’t. As it was fixed daily race. Still probably my mind playing tricks. For me transitioning to a rigid cockpit instead of a playseat will be next step. Hope it brings more consistency
I’m so unlucky I bought a t300 a few weeks ago it was faulty so I sent it back and got a tgt2 and that was faulty so I’m waiting on a new replacement 😂
I love my G923 wheel, but not as happy with the pedals. But for a total package price of $350, and with PSVR2, I am a happy camper. However after watching your video I was inspired to see if logitech has a load cell pedal., and lo and behold they do for also $349 and I can even get it at Best Buy. There is. A video I watched from logitech on how you can adjust each pedal (simple) and even remove the clutch if you don’t use it. The True force on my G923 (which is the newer version of what you previously had) the button layout is terrific for use with the PSVR2, so intuitive if I need to scroll through lap times and radar. So I think I will get the load cell pedals after reading so many reviews and possibly the Gpro wheel. Which they offfer a 5% discount if you get both at same time. That wheel is $999😮. Decisions………… like my wheel add pedals for now. Thanks Cas. But really before you do anything watch their pedal video on adjusting. Also the pedals only work with a logitech wheel I heard ;(
Thanks, glenpritc , I did check them out. and my current pedals I have taken them out and cleaned them when they started glitching, only to call logitech and find out they needed a reboot. Also in a video I watched on how to do your set up it did say that if you can afford load cell it is better. The set up you suggest is good, but I have another reason. I want to remove the clutch I never use (only race manual paddle shift) and second I race in my socks cuz with shoes my feet are too big. With the load cell I can adjust distance and then wear a racing shoe so as to feel the pedals better and my feet wont get as tired. Hope that makes sense.
Yeah, the G Pro is not cheap, but it is a great wheel if you want to spend the money. I would love to see a DD wheel in the $500 - $600 range for PS5. Someone needs to make that happen!
that's still my favourite setup... TGT2, TLCM pedals on a NLR Stand 2.0 and TH8A shifter and the amazing sparco mod handbrake... love the setup but still admit loves my G923 due to its amazing force feedback... TGT2 is for torque and realism but still G923 is awesome... THERE IS NO FANATEC IN NEW ZEALAND 😂😂😂... might get a Moza R5 for my seriesX and pc
Hi! Thanks for the review. After your videos I really started considering T-GT II for GT7. I also like the open wheel but I have a question about it. Looks like it doesn't have a lot of buttons so how to switch MDF modes, adjust TCS, brake balance and so on?
So there are not extra buttons like some wheels, but the amount of buttons equals to what you would have on a Playstation controller. If you search for Thrustmaster open wheel button mapping on Google, you will see how all the buttons are mapped.
@@thecasualracinggamer "the amount of buttons equals to what you would have on a Playstation controller" - hm..., that is true) looks like I completely forgot about the fact that controllers also have less controls but all the functions are still available) Thanks for the response :)
No. It's the reason why I got rid of the T300 within a week. The T-GT II does not suffer from overheating like the T300 does which causes the loss of feedback until it cools down.
I recently got the TGT II and it’s definitely a good upgraded coming from a T300 playing on PS4 only. I can say they the TGT II is way stronger than the T300 but it is not a huge difference. Maybe on GT games only cuz of the transducer but still that didn’t impacted me. I was just looking for better FFB in general and yes the TGT II offers it but nothing out of this world. Have you tried using a T818 on console using a HUB? I’m thinking returning the TGT and get the T818 instead if now can be used on consoles Thanks !
@@prancesco15Great choice mate ! You will have alot of fun ! Only thing, my TGT2 is a bit Noisy. As soon as i connect it to the PS5 the Fans spin up at Max RPM.
