    The TX was my first wheel. Had it for 3 years and just upgraded to the CSL DD which is definitely a superior wheel base, but the TX was still great. It got me into sim racing for a low price and like mentioned here pros still use it and can win on it

  • @vMaxHeadroom
    @vMaxHeadroom 2 роки тому +9

    Upgraded from the G29 which was a good wheel but this was a major step up and absolutely enough for me. coupled to the TCLM pedals it is a great all around package provided you get it at a good price which I did direct from Amazon a long time ago and they have not missed a beat! One day I will try a DD wheel but for now this has been a great wheel. Good review!

    I got my T300RS near launch and I agree with almost every point raised other than about the T3PA pedals in the GT ed.
    Yeah the stock 2 pedal set is garbage, but the T3PA's were far, FAR better, the conical brake gives you so much more confidence on the brakes as you have a physical resistance at the end of brake travel, when set correctly (i.e. when just touching the cone = 80% of full braking force) you can FEEL where the lock up point is instead of just guessing by foot/ankle position alone.
    Yeah they're practically identical to the G series pedals but that mod alone makes them night and day better, (speak from experience here, DFGT-G27-T300 and beyond).
    Is it worth $400US though(or £380 in the UK)?? Not anymore imo.. ESPECIALLY not with the 2 pedal set.
    The biggest plus of the T300 is it's almost double the power of the G series wheels, anyone who owns a T300 with the 2 pedal set and is thinking of upgrading their setup should seriously look at the T-LCM loadcell pedals before anything else, why?
    I went from T3PA's to a set of V3's from Fanatec and the difference was STAGGERING! Yeah I loved the T3PA's for the 3-4 years I had them but within 2-3 days of getting the V3's I was managing trail braking far easier than with the T3PA's.
    On top of this the inherent design flaws of BOTH Logitech and TM's basic pedal sets is the risk of dust/dirt and foreign objects fouling up the mechanism leading to pedal flutter and a need of strip and clean them out every 6-9 months.
    Both T-LCM's and the Fanatec Loadcell pedals all use Hall Effect sensors instead of Potentiometers linked to the pedal with geared mechanisms, magnetic field sensors with no moving parts so they don't wear out like Pots do and there's no mechanism to get gummed up.
    The BIG plus of both options is they can be used via USB to PC rather than plugged into the wheelbase meaning they CAN be used should you upgrade your wheelbase (sorry console owners but you don't have this option sadly).
    IF I were buying today I'd DEFINATELY still consider the T300 but I'd do the same you did get the base alone and choose the T-LCM's and rim I want.
    Logitech wouldn't even get a look in, Why? because they're STILL selling 14-15 year old innards without making significant changes since the G27 adopted helical gears, other than that the G series has been unchanged ever since, all the G series wheels since than are identical internally yet the pricing goes back to the previous models launch price or even higher.
    I only recently upgraded to a CSL DD and given the price difference for the wheelbase and McLaren rim vs a brand new T300RS GTE (I paid £640 for the Fanatec vs £380 for the RS GTE) then imo look for a 2nd had T300 before you even think about a new one, if you WANT new then save them pennies up and forget the T300 or even the TS-PC OR TGT II.
    I play AMS 2 (A LOT LOL) and even with the T300 and T3PA's I was able to hold my own vs guys with full direct drive rigs e.g. ua-cam.com/video/wPf6N3bsLk4/v-deo.html Myself vs the 3rd fastest guy round Nordschleiffe and he's got a CSL or CSW + V3 pedal set, motion rig and plays in VR, he also posted the same race on his channel ua-cam.com/video/i2Zr3xANma8/v-deo.html
    So you don't NEED all the bells and whistles to be competitive, I KNOW one of the fastest guys in AMS 2 is rocking a TMX with the V3's from Fanatec and he held over 200 records in AMS 2.
    At the end of the day you need to balance cost vs playtime and work out "Is it worth the cost?", if you play 1000's of hours in racing games then go Fanatec CSL DD.
    If you are a casual gamer? Then look for a 2nd hand T300 base + rim and get a new set of T-LCM's, (it'll work out about the same price as a T300RS GTE). Avoid Logitech at all costs and you'll avoid "Buyers remorse" 2-3 months down the line...

      @SRS13Rastus 2 роки тому +26

      @@SimRacingVeteran Sorry but I have to disagree it's far far from a shit product.
      with my T300RS I've held several world records in AMS 2, plus several other games where I was regularly in the top 10-20 in the world, hell, on my old DFGT I was 2nd in the ESL 1 vs 1 drift ladder in the original Race Driver Grid till codies killed off the MP servers with no warning.
      I've also had races where I've beaten some of the fastest drivers on the planet.
      At the end of the day it's NOT the equipment that makes you fast... It's the individuals skill and familiarity with whatever they are using.
      Hell I'm part of an AMS 2 Time Trial community on Discord and 2-3 months ago our series champion was a guy on a controller!
      Over the year we've been running I'm the highest scoring player in our little group, having won outright 5 times on a T300RS.
      Many of our members have full DD setups like Podium DD1 and DD2's.
      So yeah the T300RS ISN'T the best wheel out there by ANY stretch of the imagination but it's "good enough" to go toe to toe with some of the best out there.
      As I mentioned above the guy recognised as the fastest in the game (And an Esports champion) uses a TMX with V3 pedals and is practically untouchable...

    T300 base and Ferrari rim is still going strong after 7 years for me, cranked to 100% with the Noctua fan mod. Highly suggest upgrading to a load cell pedal instantly to get the best experience. When the base dies, then go DD now that there are some really affordable options.

    I bought this wheel towards the end of 2020, and it’s a really good wheel. I bought the RS edition, but I immediately upgraded the pedals to the TLCM ones, because the default pedals, as you said, are terrible. I’d definitely recommend this over the Logitech series of wheels but I am looking forward to selling my own and get the thrustmaster direct drive wheel base, whenever that eventually gets released…

Oh and I got lucky my wife works for Dell and used her employee discount and got mine for $325 shipped woot. I have had no issues with mine and I run it hard and often..

    • @v6i838
      @v6i838 2 роки тому +3

      @Mike direct drive is definitely better, and I would say Thrustmaster is better than Logitech. However, Fanatec already have a cheap direct drive wheel base available, but you would have to spend more than $700 most likely to get the base, a wheel rim and pedal set.
      If you’re not 100% sure that you’re going to enjoy the wheel and use it a lot then I’d go for Thrustmaster or Logitech. Logitech is cheaper but as the video says Thrustmaster is better quality than Logitech

    @looneyhoonzinc 2 роки тому +2

    Glad to see this. Bro I’ve had two g29s. The first one broke over the course of five months. The second took 24 hours. There’s a plastic connector attaching the rim to the base and when it gives, you loose a good chunk of force feedback in wheel wobble. The t300 is WAAAYYYY better, but still flawed. There’s a random button pressing issue that some get and some don’t. Mine store but I bought it used and got six months with no complaints. Even when it did, there are adaptors you can get to use a normal rim for an actual car. They however suffer from that same wobble as the g29 with said adaptor so you may have to mod the connection with glue or appoxy to stop it wobbling front to back. If you can, start at a ts-xw or a csl dd. The fact is you try this and like it your going to buy the upgraded stuff out our pursuit of feel and feedback. Just save for the purchase the first time or you’ll be making the same one after buying $500 in g29 rim and shifter and handbrake. That’s a csl right there.

    Since then Thrustmaster has also been sold out of the power cable.
    I'm super glad to hear it's a good wheel to have, very informative!

    I’m actually thinking of upgrading to a T300, I’m currently using a T150 which I modded myself. I want to use other wheels so I 3D printed an adaptor and then bought a regular sized car steering wheel and 3D printed a GT/F1 wheel. But in exchange of that, I lost all the original buttons.
    I did not know that there’s a ‘wheelbase only’ version of the T300, since the base model available in our country is the T300 RS GT version. I might order from amazon and ship it all the way here, since I’m heavily considering it now after watching your video. Thanks!

I would really want a DD1 someday but the price is a bit to high because I only drive for fun... nothing competitive.

    Ok so I bought the Logitech g 923 and the shifter. The very next day I decided I’ll go for the thrustmaster instead because I really wanted the better shifter so I paid 250 on Amazon for the th8a ( only way to get it quick was to pay the premium) and I got the t248. I’ll say they were both solid wheels and I actually miss the extra force effects from the true force in the Logitech wheel but the thrustmaster is a clear upgrade to me when it comes to the fbb and especially this amazing shifter that mind you can swap the shift knob with real universal shift knobs for cars. Now my complaint is the wheel itself feels kinda small on the t248 (same size as 923) and considering I originally wanted the t300 gt but it’s impossible to find at a good price but finally I just caved. I got the t300 rs and the T-LCM pedals which will compliment the T8HA. After watching this video and several other even though the t300 is older it’s still the better wheel.
