I grabbed this. Another deal, is on the evo rig. On the site if you look at the Evo 1 and there’s the Evo 2. I believe they are the exactly the same. 1 is 550, 2 is 450$
For anyone that got this, can you tell what difference...if any...is there between the “TK” X-29 at Microcenter and a standard one I’d order direct from GSI? I assume there’s no choice in the paddle config for the TK, but anything else? BTW, what is the paddle config? I’m guessing either 2x or 4x aluminum? I understand Microcenter’s partnership with TK himself, but I don’t particularly care for the looks of some of the other TK-branded items at at the store. The X-29 doesn’t appear to have much in the way of color on it anywhere aside from the labeling on the wheel face. Is that done in TK green or perhaps the LED profile is set for TK out of the box?
The TK X-29 is no different than the GSI version configured with carbon shifters (2X). It is completely black (including the rotaries), exactly as it appears in the GSI imagery. There are no clutches, no GSI hub included. Also no QR is included. This is the only version that MicroCenter sells, AFAIK.
Yes- in fact I plan on doing something very similar. As long as you can get a wheel-side Simucube Quick Release (SQR) onto it , it will work. The SQR has no power and therefore has no authentication concerns (unlike Fanatec, which does require a connected hub). The wheel will need a 70mm bolt pattern, or else it will need an additional adapter. Alternatively, you can adapt almost any type of quick release to this base. Many people use the Sim-Lab Xero-Play, or the NRG Gen2.
Buying mine tommorow. Reserved at the moment at tustin. Sadly i ordered a moza setup the day before this deal went live, so i have to ship all that back on Monday and most likely also pay 15% restocking fee but this is too good to pass up

I got mine friday
Awesome. What do you think of it? What did you upgrade from?
@@HybridHanger CSL DD 8NM, but I'm waiting on the front mount for my rig so I can mount it.
Oh wow awesome deal. Does the wheel come with the USB connector?
Yes, it comes with a USB connector. No hub or clutches though (they're optional anyway).
The deal appears to be dead, however :(
No it still on.. I already reserved mine. Thanks to your channel.😂
@@youngbeliz6177 that’s amazing! Congrats.
I want to do rally can I bolt a plain nardi wheel to the hub?
Yes- in fact I plan on doing something very similar. As long as you can get a wheel-side Simucube Quick Release (SQR) onto it , it will work.

Anyone else get this deal?

Yep. Got mine today.
Picked it up, sucks that I have to get rid of my Moza R12 now. I'm gonna keep my KS wheel over the X29, but I have to source a Moza universal hub.
