How was the upgrade? I'm wanting to do exactly the same. Dying tmx to this

Haha same here!! Excited for my TS-XW base, it’s gonna be perfect with the TLCMs. I’m also moving on from my TMX, I love that thing but hopefully I can get my bro to use it still!! 🤘🏽

What’s the tsxw base y’all are talking about I thought it came with everything already

i know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online?

@Jayceon Dean I watch on FlixZone. Just google for it :)

@Darwin Skylar Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since april myself :D

@Darwin Skylar thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !

@Jayceon Dean Happy to help :D

You’re going to love it!

Oh dear

Awesome wheel *, I got mine early covid 2020 , and now 5 rims and two shifters later its still the best , *I did have to return the first base as it was ...um.....grinding, but I heard that now its harder to get replacements as they did replace alot of them , the quality control was a bit iffy , but it is a heavy duty wheel and the best they make , depending on budget I wish the new fanatec DD was out when I got this it might have swayed me , but the price of accessories is what drew me to the thrustmaster , what did you end up with ?

Ive just ordered one ready for forza 5 siiiiiiiick

@@Phatzoot We got ours 2 days ago at Xmas, whats the fan for please and where does it go?

Interesting! Haven’t heard about that

Hey Marshall, I am thinking about getting a Thrustmaster TX with the T3PA pedals for an Xbox series X. Do you have any advice for that? Btw I am also getting the TH8A shifter and the Fanatec handbrake.

@@planeboy1318 I really enjoyed that combo on the XbOne. Upgrading from the TX to the TS-PC was a major change, jumping from 1NM to 6, but the higher force allows for a more nuanced feel. If you can swing it I'd recommend the TS-XW over the TX. If not, the TX will serve you just fine.

That’s exciting!

@@OCRacing Yeees! I love the vids you are pumping out, keep up the good work mate :D

Maybe they saw my video and changed it 😳 where’s my check Thrustmaster???

@@OCRacing if you ever sue them, I'd support you in court my dude

Mine is fixed too!

They grow up so fast 😪

@@OCRacing for sure :)

I appreciate the comment! I'll consider it.

Or notch out for the cable with a grinder

Then buy the TS-XW. The Base is better, no belts, brushless motor. It is stronger too. If you want to play often with your wheel, than i reccomended the TS-XW

If you act quickly now you can find the TS-XW on Sale for Cyber Monday my dude.

@@vhris420 No belts? Its a dual belt design and both the T300 and TS-XW/TS-PC has got brushless motors.

Which one is better t300 or Ts-XW

@@officialshafi6077 TS-XW. Higher torque, faster rotation, much more solid in build quality. Not forgetting that it does not have a integrated power supply like the T300, which is prone to failure.

Yeah, no stickers included lol

@@OCRacing I'll invest in a sharpie!!

Would you say the Load Cell Pedals were worth the coin??

@@kylerobinson6102 I would say yes, but I don't have a lot of experience with sim racing kit.

Whats the tx like?

@@akwest1390 the TX wheelbase is not bad at all. I have had it for a couple of months now and it's pretty nice for entry level sim racing I would say. It is one of the more affordable bases made by Thrustmaster, being on the lower end. It does its job well, but it doesnt have very high force feedback torque ratings. For me is fine because I dont need something super powerful. The base shell is made of all black plastic and does not have any red metal like the one in this video does. On some games the wheelbase feels a little bit more finicky than others. I wanted to try and play Snowrunner with a wheel, and that game has options for a wheel controller, but it is NOT optimized very well. Plus for a game like that I need to move the camera around a lot on xbox and with a wheel that is just not feasible I found. Maybe on PC it would be easier considering you could use a mouse along with the wheel. For now, I play on xbox one x until I can get a PC, and the newest Forza games have been the best games to play with. Forza Motorsport 6, 7, and Horizon 4. I also have played Wreckfest with the wheel and it was a great experience. I tried Asetto Corsa on Xbox one before it went away on Game Pass and that was another great one to play. I imagine mostly all these games would be better on PC because of more adjustable controls and button mapping available on PC with most games than xbox. I have the TX leather edition wheel rim which came with the base, and I love the feel of the rim. I honestly feel like the wheel rim itself has a bit better of a quality feel to it than the TX base. But still over all the base is pretty good. The cool thing is that when I can upgrade to the TS-XW in this video, I can buy just the base and keep using my same leather edition wheel rim. The base is Definitely a little bit cheaper than the TS-XW in the video. But the finish and build quality of the one in the video looks a bit better than my TX which is understandable. I think I read somewhere that the TS-XW has better torque ratings and a nicer cooling system for prolonged use also. The TX wheelbase by itself without a wheel rim I think is $349 and the TS-XW is $599 if I remember correctly. I could be wrong but I know they are in that ball park. I got my TX base as a box set with the leather edition wheel rim and the T3PA pedals for $499 which I thought wasnt bad for all that and I really wanted to have a good wheel rather than a controller because I really wanted to get into sim racing. This is a buy I do not regret because racing with a wheel is a lot of fun. A bit tricky at times because you don't have the same super quick response of going full lock like you would with a controller but still a lot of fun. Hope this helps!

UK is 240V USA is 120V

It works fine, mine is on a pretty mediocre desk and the clamp is strong enough to keep it in one place. I will say that the clamp doesn't work it thick height lip desks *the clamp will just hit the edge of the desk before the actual clamp feet touches bottom of the desk. My desk has a lip of thickness 4.3cm (the structural part makes it thick at the front), but the rest of the table has half of that thickness, so I had to shove some cardboard pieces to make the table "uniform height". So its not really an issue if your entire desk is of uniform thickness.

The T300 is a medium level wheel and the TS Series is pro. Sorry for late reply.

You are wrong. According to their website this wheel goes to 1080 degrees.

That's only true for T150/TMX and T300/TX. Their higher end wheels all go to 1080°

@@118Shadow118 i can confirm this lol

That aparco rim looks swettt. Also i have the 488 challenge edition rim

It’s been sold out for a while. Thrustmaster has had trouble w the supply chain recently... enjoy your new wheel tho!

You can replace the fan with a noctua fan or equivalent silent fan, as your fan bearings may be worn

Hi there Norbert - Sorry for the late response, didn't see this comment until now. I didn't mention the clamp simply because I didn't use it, I recognize that I probably should have for the sake of the review. I've used other clamps from Thrustmaster and they tend to be pretty straight forward and solid. They hook up the wheel and tightly cling on into the bottom of a desk. Unless you're absolutely yanking the wheel around, I would not imagine it being a problem. Hopefully this helps and/or removes any doubts you may have had.

@@OCRacing thank you... I ended up getting the wheel and the table clamp holds well although I noticed that during a racing sessions I can move it up vertically a tiny bit and if I do this too often it would eventually slide off in one direction :) I come from g29, very happy with the purchase

Consider getting a wheelstand, they fit in a reasonably small space, and they are not super expensive. I have experience with the thrustmaster t300 clamped to a desk, bolted to a wheelstand, and now bolted to a cockpit. The wheelstand is not as stable as the cockpit, but i think it was way better than clamping it to a desk. Just a friendly tip, if you find the desk clamp a bit problematic, like i did.

Something must be different between the t300 and the TS-XW which I have bc there is 100% no way to play without that screw in. The wheel will literally be completely loose and dismounted within a minute or two on a TS-XW. And it's very clear in the directions, it only goes in about 3/4 of the way. If you screw it in all the way, it will back the way out and you will actually start stripping the wheels quick release. So I wonder if you screwed it in all the way and that's why you're saying it made it more loose? Because I know for a fact if I screw mine in completely, the wheel will wobble because it's again, stripping the quick release. I would definitely try using this girl again and only put it in 3/4 of the turn. You may think it's not coming loose, but you don't know what might be going on that you can't see

@@DMort22oh, I never realized it was supposed to only go in 3/4. I think mine is a little bit over 3/4 but not in all the way. I thought mine was broken 😂

I love my TSXW but I can imagine it being better than a direct drive wheel. So I would probably go for the CSL DD

Csl DD for sure but remember fanatec wheels are really expensive 😉

@@FullFledged2010 that's why I'll be using my IRL drift wheel ;)

Hmm, interesting 🤔

Yeah, will be very interesting to see what’ll happen to this product now...

@@OCRacing Probably nothing, Fanatec's customer service apparently is terrible as is their availability of their products !

@@styxxtheanimal5720 yup fanatec customer service sucks, I have had first had experience with them.

@@stankersten532 Thats always going to be a deal breaker for me , hence the reason i am looking at getting a t300 base then later a Simagic base ,

@@stankersten532 Sorry to hear that mate , but that certainly confirms why ill never go the way of that company though. Hence the fact im looking at Thrustmaster and then later a Simagic dd base

t-gt. you may also like to wait until june 23rd when thrustmaster may launch the successor to the t-gt. it could be the same for the xbox side too.

@@KingdomChablo I got the Ferrari Evo version of the t300 with the shifter. That will probably be too much for me. I bought the play seat as well so nice little mid range rig

@@Eddz94 im thinking of buying the ts-xw wheel even though it's pricey but it sounds really good. My previous wheel was a cheap £99 I got 6 years ago and stopped using it in 2017. But I'm ready to come back to racing. The rig I will use is the gt omega apex to save space. It's cheap. How is the t300?

@@KingdomChablo well I get it tomorrow from Amazon so I don’t know yet lol. I just bought the Logitech g29 this month but I’m returning it and got the t300 instead cuz I needed a little more of an experience and realism

You’d still be able to hook up the T-LCM’s and any other Thrustmaster wheel rim add-on to the TS-XW regardless if you bought it as a stand alone or with the full setup.

Yeah, I eventually did that.

Not sure, I’ve never owned one. Try searching up unboxings for it & see if others have it.

@@OCRacing I think I was wrong because apparently there wasn't supposed to be a cable, so that software update isn't that important?

@@m.m.6615 should be a usb cable inside...i did got one with my TX.

I believe your talking about the power supply. It’s shaped like a turbo charger. That should connect to the wheel as well as to a power outlet and power the wheel.

@@OCRacing Yes its shaped like a Turbo Charger after looking in the box again. We are going to set it up tomorrow, any suggestions/recomendations/advice please, appreciate it.

Fuck me,read the instructions

Yes, to do so you need a special adapter that, conveniently, Thrustmaster sells: shop.thrustmaster.com/en_gb/db9-pedals-t-rj12-adapter.html I had my G25 pedals connected to my T300 with this adapter so I know it works.

Looking at a couple of teardown videos. The motor seems to be a proprietary patented brushless motor with cooling fan blades built into the back. So it is always cooling itself as long as the motor is running. The small fan in the back is just an exhaust fan like you might get on a PC case. That small fan is pretty generic and some people have replaced it with something more upmarket.

It wll be a night a day difference.

@@OCRacing Seriously? I heard that the difference is small. Is it a difference in engine power or just the driving experience? Is it smoother or does the belt drive feel like on the TX?

Massive upgrade

@@OCRacing Ty so much, I was a bit "uch what if its not even noticible" but now I'm going for it. Thanks again!

@@IIMado A LOT more FFB, quicker response times, swappable wheel rims, among so many other things. I recently swapped it out with my old G29 because I was testing something and I thought the FFB was set at like 25% when it was actually maxed out. So yes, well worth your money and a huge upgrade for the G920! Let me know how it goes!

@@OCRacing Good to hear man! Yeah the G920 also has the gears so feel able it's a good "do I like some racing" wheel but after that an update is needed

I just brought one as my g920 is starting to play up! I cant wait for the new one :')

Yes

It’s about 5-6

@@OCRacing Not to bad then in all honesty even in today's market. Wonder though if it delivers the right amount of detail to ffb

@@codyzempel5506it has more torque than I know what to do with at max setting but that’s just me

@@awwk8452 No no for sure I had the T300 starting out went CSL DD Pro for awhile then F1 podium DD1 and honestly unless your built like Hulk there's no reason to turn my DD up to 100 it's crazy I think honestly the sweet spot for me I guess imo is that 10-15 range anywhere there is the sweet spot

That’s a topic for another video 😉

Ok doké

Do the padels from another Wheel work with this?

@@Destoelstaanders depends on the pedals. Most of the time, pedals just plug in via USB.

I think so they are from the Logitech g29

I wish I could answer that but in all honesty, i've never once touched it.... lol

@@OCRacing It's just an extra button that you can map for whatever you want in any game you play. For example, I use it as my trans brake button on one game.

Maybe would. But over here in Ireland, I can't get Fanatec stuff without selling a kidney for import fees, and waiting until March for it to even begin shipping. If it was a speedier process, I might consider them, but because of how painfully slow, and expensive it is to even get their cheaper products, it's really pushing me away.

I am in a similar place, but for me it still makes sense since I will be using it with a Playseat challenge, so being noticeably lighter is a benefit. If you have a fixed rig then yeah, go for a DD wheel by all means.

It's not the same price range when you add a fenatec wheel

Really? Not only did they fix the problem but it's a 3 to $4 cord on Amazon. Definitely a dumb initial design, but not a reason to not purchase it lol

​@@DMort22 I am with a DD right now, it is awesome!!!

T818 is more expensive tho

Not too sure what you mean by "neutral clunky zone". From my experience, I've never had any problem with the TSXW's in-game performance. Absolutely nothing that has taken away from the immersion if that's what you're worried about.

Good to hear that, guess should have bought that one. Because i will not be buying anymore thrustmaster wheels. Crap feel and pedals don't last. I watched most videos i could find on my wheel before buying, and low and behold no one talked about this feel in wheel. But after doing some research , this is a common feel in belt drive wheels.

@@bradpaca especialy if the wheel is not powered on...then yeah you can feel and hear the belt inside,shouldn't be a thing while you race tbh.

@@markvanwalsem3201 thanks, yeah mine crap and some other i have spoken with. It really has not improved much since earlier models. Like Microsoft 360 wheel, good wheel crap low range feel. Oh well just want make folks a where. Just wont people to know about this feel in the TX leather and this one if the same.

Your not setting it up right. And over thinking it. Not something i notice on acc on xbox. And i had a tmx 1st. This is a great wheelbase still today

I need a CSL elite first :p

Which is better btw

@@udaiveersinghsandhu978 I’ve never tried out the CSL so I can’t comment on it. The TSXW has been incredible however.

I'm actually not sure....

Yeah... not sure what they were thinking. Although to be fair, I forced it in when I first installed it, and I haven't had a problem with it since.

That cable looks like the one for the pedal and not the wheelbase. The USB cable I have for the wheel is angle differently so that it runs to the side rather angled down.

​Same here.

Mine came with a straight cable connector

My solution is just to raise the whole wheel base an inch or so with wood so the STUPID cable isn’t touching the mount lol.. i honestly spent a few minutes laughing to myself when I noticed how much of a drawback that thing is. Sick base though

Yes

You are wrong. According to their website this wheel goes to 1080 degrees.

No But there is a ps4 version of this wheel

It's the same thing just with XBOX compatibility and in my opinion better looks.

@@OCRacing a guy getting 12 views a video trying to give you advice 😂

Tbf Logitech got a lot of craptalk from people because of their sim racing products, but their reliability is just unbelievable

@@mArvAlcao71 you are right, my g27 is 100% working since 2013

I don't know what you're talking about dude. I've had my TSXW with extreme abuse for years and years. With force feedback and everything always cranked. I've literally never had a single issue. I've played for over 12 hours straight (during quarantine) before. I came from a g920 which I actually did love. But the upgrade to the TSXW is night and day difference. The Logitech is awesome for the price point and gets you into sim racing. Don't be mistaken, the Logitech wheel and pedals price is for a reason. One of the biggest reasons being the largest tech stuff is just all plastic cheap Feeling crap. You don't really realize how bad it is until you upgrade. My sparco wheel for example any of the rims I have literally feel like a race car steering wheel. They are exact replicas. Logitech wheel is an abnormally tiny plastic wheel with a plastic base and plastic pedals. It's not about dissing Logitech. I'm pro Logitech. But it's a review video. And if we're comparing the TSXW with the Logitech wheels during this review, then you're going to hear the truth which is the Logitech is like 99% plastic. 🤷 Not something to get mad about bro. You'll upgrade one day as well
