Will be a great addition to those who are locked into the thrustmaster ecosystem. Thrustmaster in the span of a few years went from the mainstream entry level company, to a nice mid range lineup with their T LCM loadcell pedals, (which are fantastic love mine, huge upgrade from T3PA), to now finally going direct drive. I was worried i would inevidably have to go the fanatec/moza route and sell all my TM gear but TM finaly came through. My T300 is fantastic, but i need a bit more power and something more reliable now.
@@tehnubrises5533 i wont be getting mine until march so hopefully they have that issue fixed by then. I will make sure to do my research before i pick it up. It seemed like that issue was simply someone at manufacturing was being lazy/forgetful that day and forgot to screw in all the screws lol.
The clamping system doesn't look very durable either. And the QR adapter still needs a wooden screw. I can't imagine buying this wheelbase if you're not already in the TM ecosystem. And still, most of their wheelrims are just not sturdy enough for 10NM wheelbases. From the reviews I have seen so far the FFB must be great. Very strong and brutal in the extreme setting.
Would rather hear your thoughts on the product in use. There was a short clip by a guy called Vincent Brewer here on TH-cam, he turned it on and the front of the unit fell off, which was interesting, so would be interested in seeing if you experience any issues as well...
Looking forward to review. When you get chance could you measure the distance from the back of the base to the face of the rim.....it would be interesting to know how it would fit on my rig as my display is fixed and limits forward movement of any wheel base. I currently have a t300 10mm from the screen.
@@slaphead90 No, it is t3pm. After t3pa - heaven and earth. Tlсm tried, alien zadrotti tried - I tried a lot of things, as a result I stopped at t3pm. I didn't feel any fundamental difference - moreover, I didn't feel any difference at all. And I spent relatively little money for new pedals.
The thing I'm most concerned with is if the open-wheel and 300mm rims I have can handle the torque. The base might be designed to handle the torque but the rims weren't. I also had to send my TS-PC back to Thrustmaster because the part that connects the motor shaft to the "quick release" connector broke away from the shaft, and both rims frequently creak while in use, so I'm going to wait a few months to see if anyone reports any rim failures.
I don't think the steering wheels have any problems, it worked perfectly for 4 months with the steering wheels that I used in the TGT put in the Moza r9, I changed to the QR D1 spec because of the creaks and play and not because of breaks or anything that was damaged, I continue to use the same ones flyers with a better QR...
Same issue 4 days ago, 2 months old TS-PC with P310, barely 20 hours of usage at all. Plastic part broke from shaft through hex bolts. What was your resolution with Thrustmaster?
I have a xbox SX and ps5 im wanting to upgrade my thrustmaster TGT2 with this T818 eventually when the console version is available but I am dreading the thought that they are going to make two separate wheel bases for both consoles instead of just the one that plays on both consoles I swear if they do that im moving to fanatec instead. That will really piss me off as i have had to already buy the TGT2 and the TS-XW just to play on both consoles its such a shit thing to make people do thats why I hate logitech who the hell wants to pay $2000 for a wheel that only works on one console than go out and buy another one to play on the other console its such a shit idea
To be honest the license to make it PS or XBX compatible is quit expensive, and most people dont have both platforms. They dont want to pay 50 bucks extra for a license they dont have. Logitech and Fanatec have seperate versions also. The smart thing of fanatec is the chip for PS is in the wheelbase, and for XBox in wheel.
@@MrMikap74 too be honest they can stop being lazy and ripping people of and actually do something about it it seriously shouldn't be that difficult too do im sure they make enough money any way im thinking of getting a pc instead of the NEW Xbox than that way I can USE MY TGT2 for ps5 GT7 n GET pc for other car games and forza
At the top end of your budget, I'd recommend the Logitech G Pro RACING wheelbase and pedal set. But if you want to spend less, then this would be ideal for you too. fanatec.com/us-en/bundles/gran-turismo-dd-pro-premium-bundle. The Logitech is better, but possibly overkill for just GT7.
Do you mean Logitech? Then yes. The Logitech G Pro has two versions, PC/PS, or PC/Xbox compatibility. The wheelbase in this video, the T818 is PC only.

just a reminder to check your unit when you receive yours:

Yeah I have a few wheels, like the F1 wheels, so have gone for this, so far so good.
Fanatec/moza ??? no Simucbe 2 is the only best way
I can't help but be concerned that so much of the QR is plastic on a DD wheelbase.
The clamping system doesn't look very durable either. And the QR adapter still needs a wooden screw. I can't imagine buying this wheelbase if you're not already in the TM ecosystem. And still, most of their wheelrims are just not sturdy enough for 10NM wheelbases. From the reviews I have seen so far the FFB must be great. Very strong and brutal in the extreme setting.
Would be interested to see a size difference between this base and tx base
Just got mine today. rFactor 2 tested and working great.
Hello, the t818 have flex pls ?
Would rather hear your thoughts on the product in use. There was a short clip by a guy called Vincent Brewer here on TH-cam, he turned it on and the front of the unit fell off, which was interesting, so would be interested in seeing if you experience any issues as well...
I wonder if I can hard mount this to my play seat challenge?

It's 32cm. 👍
@@SimRacingCorner wow really. it looks bigger. my t300 measures about the same with the stock rim. i guess that base unit isn't as big as it looks.
@@ravey1981 maybe I'm smaller than I look?
do you need to buy desk mounting kit separately ?
That's right.
@@SimRacingCorner thx
Initial impressions are good :)
1 year later still no DD for console. What's happening thrustmaster?????
the most anticipated dd. T3PM has already been purchased, now it's up to the base. I hope the steering wheels will be inexpensive.
Please tell me you mean the T-LCM and not the T3PM.

been testing it the past 4 days, no issues with the rims whatsoever. They hold up fine
I fixed the same issue with epoxy glue. Indestructible now.
Looks cheap imo and where the emergency stop is located shows the amount of thought put in plus QR with plastic surely wont last
I got Thrustmaster myself, but it's a pity they always use just a bit too much plastic.
For the price it looks cheap way too much plastic. Logitech atleast has a metal qr

Am I first?! 😮🎉🎉
That plastic hub is jsut garbage and wil crack in a month ...LMAO!
I have 1500 to spend on a wheel and peddle combo for ps5 that I mostly play gt7 on. What do recommend?
At the top end of your budget, I'd recommend the Logitech G Pro RACING wheelbase and pedal set. But if you want to spend less, then this would be ideal for you too. fanatec.com/us-en/bundles/gran-turismo-dd-pro-premium-bundle. The Logitech is better, but possibly overkill for just GT7.
@@SimRacingCorner So they already have th PS5 version? It's not jus the PC version out?
Do you mean Logitech? Then yes. The Logitech G Pro has two versions, PC/PS, or PC/Xbox compatibility.
The wheelbase in this video, the T818 is PC only.
@@SimRacingCorner Yes the Logitech. I think that's what I'll get. Does it come with wheel and peddle?
It's comes with a wheel rim, the pedals are not included, but if you buy them at the same time, you get a discount off the pedals.
