As a person who own t300 i 100% recommend 🤝

your videos come out at the perfect time for me. when i was looking at buying a g29 u released a vid on it. now im looking at the t300 and u just released this vid. Keep up the good work

Could we now get a dishonest review?

Still rocking my T300 to this day and I still absolutly love it! Got it over a year ago at an absolute bargain and I've got not plans to upgrade at all...well maybe the pedals

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbaWabFkx9mwm2g.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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5iKpZapprTRkWw.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...

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…

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

Great video Owning a TX myself I want to add one thing: For people panning on doing or already using the table clamp, put a bit of oil on the screw, it will really help tightening it and make it quiet

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.

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 just picked up the t300 for $250 and the Ferrari wheel for $129. I paired it with my Tlcm pedals and man did it make a difference. Not in lap times but HUGE difference in consistency. I had tm tmx before.

As a very casual sim racer I absolutely love my t300.

I was given a T300 from a friend a couple years ago. But I didn't have a proper place to mount. That is until recently, I bought a desk. Turns out I'm missing the power cable and he swears he doesn't have it. 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! Now to patiently wait for the Thrustmaster store to be restocked!!

I got my T300rs gt 2 weeks ago from Amazon for $400 “used: like new” and i’ve noticed zero problems so far. Keep your eye on these and you’ll be able to find one decently priced. They’ve been fluctuating between $450-$650 so i got pretty lucky. I also got the TH8A shifter the same way for $165.

You know why I love iRacing ? It has the best sim racers online . So , when I start getting a big head I hop on iRacing & suddenly I’m put in my place & realize that I don’t know everything . Then it’s time to put in some laps , watch clips from real races & remember that I need to always be paying attention . Backing up corners & trying to go faster than my last lap . I just got a TX in today from ebay . Way smaller than I thought ! I was hoping it would be bigger than my DFGT , camera tricks my eyes 👀🤘🏼🏁

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.

Really enjoying your content, OC. Currently deciding between the T248 and potentially the TX, so looking forward to that video!

Bro the wow guy caught me off guard, haven't seen him since mlg edits were peak comedy

My T300RS is almost 2 years old. I have used it ALOT (over 1000 hours). The wheel has NEVER failed. The stock pedals were rubbish and got replaced (updated). After 6 months of use I replaced the internal fan with a silent Noctua (there is a guide here on youtube). I love this wheel and I has given me so many hours of fun. I would really want a DD1 someday but the price is a bit to high because I only drive for fun... nothing competitive.

I got the tx with the open wheel and t-lcm pedals for racing and it is really good. If you are looking for some competetive equipment with good ffb imo and not spend crazy amounts of money the tx base is 100% worth it

I got my Thrustmaster TX, Sparco rally wheel, a tm28 leather wheel, and the T3pa pro pedals for $400 on FB marketplace

Bless your soul I was looking on your channel last night specifically for a T300 review and couldn’t find it. What’re the odds 🤯.

I bought one a month ago and compared with the G920 Logitech it is so much better. The force feedback is a little stronger, but it is so much more precise and lifts my gaming experience to the next level.

The Videos are getting better in quality every time. Keep it up

Great Video, I have owned TX for five years and you were right on with all your points! Thank You!

A TX user here. You missed two points. TX, even though technically identical to T300, offers 900 degrees of rotation not 1080. While the screw hole for the clamp is directly connected to the wheel's internal rigid structure, the two bolt holes are not. Inside each of these holes there is a tiny metal plate which has no direct connection to the internal structure, only via the external case. Which is plastic and not very rigid. Thus, for rig mounting I recommend using both the two bolts (to prevent sliding) AND the clamp for rigidity.

I have to admit that the T300 is the best base I have used so far. Maybe that's the reason why I'm actually still happy with my T300 setup (plus: R383-Mod Wheel, and the T-LCM-pedalset). ;) Of course, I would like to give the CSL-DD from Fanatec a try, but in combination with a steering wheel and pedals you easily end up with 750.- to 800.- €! (837.- to 892.- USD)

I've bought the thrustmaster tx 458 italia with its crappy pedals for just 150$! It was used one but i couldn't see any wear on it. I was so lucky! And i bought it like half a year ago. Its really good compared to g920 i had previously. I definitely recommend it.

in my country it's a very good wheel especially with the price tag of $400 for the RS gt version since the g29 costs $300 with the shifter this is a very good deal

Since you were asking for people to post pricing. I bought a used base for $198, a used set of T-LCMs for $182, and a used 28GT for $146. Total was $526.79 pretax, $568 with local tax. Feel like I got a decent deal. All pricing is USD.

love my t300. ill be sticking with it for potentially a long time. im buying the TM DD wheel some day. lol

I just picked up an older-used T300 RS package for one hundred and fifteen usd on Mercari. It feels SO much better than the TMX I’ve been using. I cannot believe my luck!

ts-pc/xw is about $900 in my country... and that's when it's on sale.

You forgot to mention the chronic overheating issues the t300/TX has. Even with a new unit it's a baaad idea to run it at full ffb. My TX was an absolute nightmare. That's why I would suggest the TS range rather. Power supply is separate from the base.

Didn’t see you compare this to the T248. Seems odd since you reviewed the T248 4 months before this

That editing in the beginning earned a like by it's self holy

I just picked this up for $140 on Facebook market. Works much better than my $300 G29

Depends on where you are in the world. Most of us can’t buy Fanatec gear at regular prices. So yeah, Thrustmaster is the only choice. Fanatec is at least twice as expensive, at least. Sometimes more.

Huge props to the editor of this vid bro really elevated your professional experience. Amazing! Edit: the cartoonish running sound for the "quick release" is an amazing touch imo. Sounddesign on par.

Really considering buying a TX, great video!

I managed to buy a Thrustmaster t300 wheelbase for 125 bucks with very few hours on it and it's still under a year of warranty, after watching this review I say I got a bargain, printed myself an adapter and a button box for my deep dish wheel and programmed it with an arduino to appear and function as a Thrustmaster t300 rs rim, I also bought a set of brand new T3PA GT pedals from someone who bought a new Thrustmaster t300 rs gt and didn't need the pedals so overall my entire setup came out at a total of 230 bucks so far, Perhaps 245 as I bought a load cell and I am waiting for it to arrive to install it on my brake pedal for a more realistic feel, and I am saving up to buy an H pattern shifter down the line.

I haven't watched the video yet, but thank you so much. I have T150 Pro and I have been thinking of upgrading it to T300 past few days and you uploaded this video just in time.

This is the video I needed right now Thank you 🙌🏼

Out of everything in the world, endless possibilities and all of us ended up following buff guys piloting a steel can on wheels going around in circles or from A to B

The Doug DeMuro drop at 3:00 was a nice touch.

Just upgraded from Logitech G920 to Thrustmaster TX w/SF1000. Huge improvement. I love it. I tried the T818 first but had problems and sent back for the TX. Difference between TX and T818 is not worth $400 more.

2024 and im still using my T300rs GT..love this wheel

I was gonna get the T300 RS but found a GREAT deal on Fanatec CSL with the BMW GT2 wheel. Got it for 500 Canadian Dollars with CSL Pedals included. (Just for reference, the BMW GT2 wheel without wheelbase is priced at 500CAD plus tax)

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.

I dont insert the screw for the “quick” release and it never comes loose. Brilliant wheel base btw!

What is holding me back in buying this pedal is there's so many bad reviews mentioning it stops working and terrible customer support.

You do not need to remove the screw to complete the quick release. You only need to unscrew it until you can start rotating the locking mechanism (called ring in the user manual), making the steps way easier than what you are complaining here...

Glad this video came up on my feed. Just checked ebay and found a 300 RS GT + the F1 addon wheel in great condition for £275 about 5 minutes down the road from me.

Thank you 😎👍 im looking to start sim racing for fun with my kids. Your videos help alot " I was so lost " lol

Wow, so happy that I got it for 215€ back in April 2020... Thought it was a good upgrade from the base of it compared to the G29 (definetly not the pedals...), but looking at their retail price now oh boy was I lucky hahah

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!

Thanks for the review!

2.5 years ago I had this dilemma, T300RS for £200 or G920 with pedals, shifter and then new F1 2019 for £180 Decided that I prefer build quality and value of G920 rather than superior FFB of T300's. I have actually sold that game for £35 making my G920 less than £150 - again with pedals and a shifter.

Got my t300rs gt used on Amazon for 380 seeing the pricing your showing here makes me feel better about the purchase

right before the pandemic started, I found my t300 for 150 not bad considering it came with next level racing stand. t3pa pedals, th8a and f1 Ferrari wheel. I bought the Alcantara wheel, and it was $100 more than the whole set up

I really don't think that $200 to $300 price range is fair. I just paid $470 for mine after tax and am fully happy. Because the "other slightly more expensive" combos you listed come in at $700 to $900 when said and done. Twice the price unless used isn't in the same category. For the GT combo under $500 thats the best youre ganna get. Unless you have at least $700 to spend in 2022.

Hello I think it’s worth it if you play on pc. It had a recent firmware update 34 which gives you the option of a boost mode which for me felt like double the force feedback on acc and ams2. But you can’t enable it on console which is a real shame.

Your FOV and screen setup is excellent. Can you tell us more about that too?

$500 for the TX today, October 2023. Why has the price of absolutely everything become unaffordable in the last few years?

ayyy always in depth but also to the point, keep it up!

Hey oc I've been waiting for this thanks

i bought the wheel 2 month ago and its amazing to race and drift it.Setting the wheel up only takes 3 minutes.

Current prices on this thing are insane. Got my T300 RS GT for 280€ (320$) in June last year

Right now the price of this wheel is close to $500.... I hate the market right now

I got my rsgt and oh my lawd I used to have a t150 pro and the pedals are significantly better especially in the break feel I was lucky and got it for the stock price, I’m very happy with the upgrade and I would recommend it as a first or second wheel for people out there looking for an upgrade that will last them a while especially since you can swap the wheels out but beware around this range injuries in your fingers are more possible so be careful guys

I own a TX, a TSXW, a DD Pro and a Simucube 2. The TX is just as good as any of them, although the TSXW is my favorite. I know, it sounds crazy but TBH DD wheels are kind of a PITA to dial in properly and don’t deliver a fundamentally better experience. I was an amateur driver in SCCA D-production for several years, if that matters.

Here in Italy, sim racing gear cost more. I just got it for 425 and it is a really good wheel!

This was my first wheel i ever got and now my kids use it as I moved up to the direct drive podium set up ,

I just bought the T300 RS GT edition for 260 eur as my first ever wheel. can't wait for it to arrive

Why would you ever want a quick release on a sim wheel... it's not an actual race car.

I upgraded from G29 to T300 Alcantara couple of weeks ago. G29 was ok and it got me into the whole thing, but it really does feel like a toy now compared to T300(except for pedals, they are worse than g29's). If the wheel will last long I don't see myself upgrading it unless I decide to get the whole chair with big screen setup.

I've watched your video and bought the wheel. After 10 minutes of playing on 80% FFB the FFB was weak (overheating issues). If I played on 50% I could play like an hour before weak FFB was happening. FFB 40 % was reasonable, no FFB loss. So, if you dont like stronger FFB you could buy t300rs and be happy. Otherwise this wheel don't meet your expectations. I'd say, it is not worth it. Yes, 4 nm of FFB max? But playable is about 50% of that, so you can go direct to logitech g29 and be sure, that no overheating issues appear. The force will be the same. And The price is half of t300. Both wheels are entry level.

This guy does not miss.

Woah! is it just me or did you switch the video style? i love it!

I’ve been trying to get the T300 for a year and while I can technically get it, paying $200-$300 usd extra doesn’t sit well with me. I’ve debated buying the base and T3PA pedals and shifter separately. It’s fairly cheaper at the moment but like you said we’d be lucky to find them at that price

Big note to PC users, the shifter needs to be used via USB and won't work if plugged into the wheel. Still works great, but kind of lame for OCD cable managers out there. Great wheels, but they are pretty mid compared to the high end DD wheels.

CSL DD alone is like 600 dollars. That plus pedals and a wheel would be more than double of the price of T300 RS GT kit

as always, amazing video. already have a g29 but when I get a cockpit might sell it and get the wheelbase and a rim or two

Always enjoy your vids :)

I got a t300rs gt ED for 320€. Arrived today, my first ever wheel. I get the feeling it will be great for the price I paid

This is the best entry into sim racing. Next step is the fanatec csl DD

Looking to maybe buy a wheel and am looking at the t300 and t248 for GT7 on my ps5 can’t wait for that comparison video to look more into those two options. And also great job on your videos :)

I think the weight comes from the power supply, motors and a metal frame inside the base...

Hey Great video! could you maybe review a Sim-Plicity wheel base? that would be awesome!

Opted for a T300. Great choice. Also just got an open wheel add-on.

Even with the new pricing on the last 2-3 months where everything got more expensive, I question how can you racionalise the T300RS (310 eur) or the T300RS GT (360 Eur) against the CSL DD with pedals (799 eur) or the T-GT with pedals. We're talking premium prie with the fanatech's (700 to 1000 eur depending the pedals and dd torque level you choose) or at least 650 eur for the t-GTII or the TS-XW. NONE of those alternatives is near the 360 eur of a T300RS GT. That being said, if i knew today, i'd get the T300RS with the crappy pedals and update later to the load cell version.

Having bought this in dec I can say it’s good for its price. It’s no fanatec, but good for a mid-level bang for buck

T300RS GT 100% worth if you’re getting into sim racing.

Personally dislike the t300, worked OK till I started getting power issues a few months after purchase before it eventually broke completely

I purchased the t300rs gt edition and was able to find a kit with a shifter as well I’ve had it for 4 years have made multiple additions to so and love it I’ve used the Logitech and compared to that the thrustmaster is by far the better wheel in my opinion one of the best bang for your buck to enter sim racing

got mine t300rs gt edition for 340€ i´m fine with that price it was huge upgrade from t150 ^^.

Just bought a T300 RS GT used for 200 EUR. Can't wait to install it, given I'm upgrading from a Driving Force Pro :D

Why the T300 is so good is because it is still supported while the others aren't. Why is it still supported? Because everybody still uses it because it is still supported.

Just purchased this one. Never used a steering wheel before. So I have nothing to compare it to 😉

Man, the more I watch your reviews, the more I don't know what to buy, lol.
