Love this channel. Appreciate all the work you put into showing us these wheels.
I was waiting for a steering wheel disassembly, but no problem; Once again the real review Chanel! We enjoy it sooo much, thanks!
These in-depth reviews are like no other. Would love to see a review on the T3PA Pro pedals if possible!
Sim Racing Garage, in depth reviews and visuals from a tech guy with a great radio voice.
Your reviews are the best on youtube ! And ive watched qiute a lot of them. Been looking at getting the ts sparco p310 wheel mainly because it is on offer, with a tha8 shifter for free with pedals i wish the ts pc racer with sparco rally wheel was on the same offer as i would get that instead , great review now i know whats inside all the wheel bases. Thanks for your time and effort
i just picked up this wheel and i do like it. thanks for your review.
awesome review! love this channel
Also amazing reviews as always from the KING
Im so jealous of that room !
Thanks for another great review Barry.
Barry's bigget fear is defenitly the Finger Prints :-) :-) I like you Barry!
Defenitly the best reviewer!
I just wanna say you sir have beautiful hair.
i hope thrustmaster begins selling the improved metal lever arms for the T3PA pedals as a diy upgrade. ty for the review!
lol. get some chrome spray paint jesus. they dont bend break or anything who cares what they do.. i have a t3pa set. adn a TLCM. and it doesnt matter if its plastic . metal or wood. if they work. and feel good to you. and you can practice u will get used to an ything. i just always suggest if u are going to sim race. get a H shifter.. handbrake. and make sure u got 3 pedals. driving automatic with a wheel is the lamest shite in the world
amazing job...thx to watch inside !
Loved the Video, and cool that you say things as they are!
You have a New sub!!!
I love electronics teardown and he love doing it !:) ..what else I can ask ?!:D .Always the professional touch in ur videos
I love your videos bro...learning every evening..thanks
Wow! Great review.
Thanks Barry for this review
Best review as usual :)
so great to watch these reviews... the recording quality, the voice and of course the unique content both make this channel one of the best on youtube!
@RTD On The Point igen ;)
Thank you very much for this video, it helped me alot to disasemble my TGT-II, all the details wit hthe different screws was very helpful. Thanks!!!
Ma il volante o ruota lai aperta se si quando l’apri per andare sulla scheda ci sono problemi ? Grazie
Very nice review as always , thx 👍
Man, I really like the details he goes through
Just ordered a new B-Stock for 440 Euro. Will soon check this thing out. Review sounds promising. Thanks.
Ive got this setup in october last year for 650€ with the h-shifter, bought the rally 383 rim and the tss sparco hb/seq.. Im very happy with how it all came together.. Just a shame that the transducer isnt supported in other tittles, wheel feels even better in gt sport.. I even feel the rumbling in parts of my metal rig, combined with the fanatec rumble pedal set it realy is imersing. Next year, dd wheel
Many Thanks for this video!
Fantastic barry best one out there...
Should be interesting to revisit the T500RS. How about another review, considering all the improvements in the wheels market?
I went from T500 to the Tspc, big difference in detail of the ffb, torque is about the same as the the T500.
Great to hear you mention tyre model. Right or wrong GT and PC2 have a progression of grip that iRacing lacks. Grip in iRacing whilst good feels binary in comparison.
You were 3 years before me here.. the sad part is that iRacing is still somewhat like Bambi on ice. If you slip just a little bit in iRacing, it's 99.7% certain you spin out. At least, with the T-GT II. today I saw an awful lot of simracers dancing off-track with the Porche 911 GT3 (992), as slippery as sliding on ice... but it was on the lawn.. friction == zero. I declare that the next update must be a namechanger.. behold, the new name must be.....
iDancing
@@peroels do you have a tgt 2? i never had a wheel before and im done with my controller, i love racing games and ive been looking at the tgt2. can you give me your thoughts about it and do you recommend it? thanks in advance
@Revv you are very smart to ask about this! Because if I'd known that the force feedback system is exclusively for gran turismo 7. In GT7 it is really good, but in iRacin, it doesn't work as well. It would be a great wheel if the FFB would be active in all games.
If I knew this, I would buy a direct drive wheel instead, because it is available in a little bit more than that price range. Search for review and compare prices on a direct drive wheel. I like the steering wheel I have, but it was a blow below the belt to discover the FFB limits.
@@peroels i dont mind the transducer only being available for gt7, i just want to know how good the ffb is on other games (exclude iracing cause i dont play it), do you have any issues with wheel or anything? is it good for a beginner wheel for someone who is new to simracing
@Revv @Revv it would be a good beginner wheel, but at the price point it is, I don't think it is worth it, when you can get a Direct Drive for just a little more or maybe even less. The FFB is very scarce in other games. In gt7 it is great. The pedals vibrate too. I have the t-lcm to be clear, if the t-3pm doesn't vibrate.
I regret the purchase because of the ffb delivery difference. I don't understand how someone could mean it was a good idea. Thrustmaster would have reached a lot more people if it was no exclusivity. But I think gt7 has put in a donation for that.
Barry, you need to do the SFX 100 project. Seems like it would be a lot of fun for you, and many people could learn of the awesome project. Cheers.
I modded my T-GT II transducer to work from a small karaoke amp running off the onboard sound on my motherboard using simhub , the transducer is only a 10 watt transducer but gives enough vibration to simulate various effects on the wheel, hopefully soon a will be hooking up another transducer on the other channel on the amp and put it on my pedals and I'm set. so i have a fully functional T-GT II on the pc :) i just routed a cable in through the pedals socket as i didn't use it so just unscrewed it and left it inside , took the connector for the cable off the internal motherboard going to the transducer and then soldered a cable directly to the transudes terminals and then hooked it up to a small amp and it worked a charm. tried a 15 watt , 5watt and a 50 watt amp settled on the 50 watt amp as the other amps where not very good for the job and and the 15 watt amp didn't give much improvement over the 5 watt amp and resonated the transducer well before the volume on the amp was half way so guess the transducer is a small 10 watt tuned specifically for PS 5 GT game ingame feedback.
Watching this now after picking up a used set locally for $350 and will probably let go of my T300. I am anxiously waiting for my CSL DD coming in November. I wouldn't of gotten the T-GT if it wasn't for the good deal. Thanks Barry!
How's the dd I've picked up a tgt2 until March when I can get a dd Pro
@@FXCartel I like it, especially for playing GT Sport. I use it now exclusively for my Playstation. I actually have the first gen T-GT, so you should be happy with the T-GT2 until you get you CSL DD. I love mine :-)
I’m a big fan and enjoy ur videos. I am currently racing on console due to a lack of gaming pc. Gran Turismo 7 is the main game I play. I am currently looking at installing a buttkicker to my rig but not encouraged by the minimal ways of connecting it. I was wondering if u thought it might be possible to tap into the signal of the transducer on the base as a better option . I am considering purchasing the TGTII for this very reason but wanted to hear someone else’s opinion on whether or not it’s even possible . Thank u for ur time and all the work u do
If u mount it to the rig without the neoprene padded washers, it might make the rig rattle and vibrate like people were saying, the padded washers make it transfer the vibrations smoother.
You put this video thank you very much . Now i have a question. I want to buy tgt or fanatec elite for gran Tourismo game , i know maybe tft have better support for gt sport but i think fanatec is better wheel . You can help me to choose? (Sorry for my English 😊) thank you
Waiting for tgt2 review
I am too! Barry you handsome bastard can u plz do a T Gt II review ?
Would the Ferrari 488 rim that comes on the tspc work in the tgt base? I assume so since tgt base is for PC and PS4. Great channel thanks
I wonder if thrustmaster will ever see this I really hope they do considering the king of sim racing reviews starts to chuckle to himself about plastic parts on your wheels. Thrustmaster you've got to step your game up
Eh man you seems to be so stupid.....Stop sim racing now because it's not good for your little brain....
It's never gonna happen. Thrustmaster wants to sell products with the highest profits possible, with the lowest manufacturing price possible. Simply enough.
Best Sim review channel
I am going to buy it. I hope, i like it.
i have it ,...and i do not regret it..i bought for 600 €and was total waste of money..grainy plastic feel of ffb ..not much detail..u must bring dumper and spring down to actually feel road surfaces ..and its really not good
@@marsinko9714 this is why ı gave up to buy it and bought PC and g29 instead of this xd
Would you happen to know what wheels and pedals work with the t-gt base?
Your description of the loss of traction on PC sims is spot on. Always wondering why they feel so dead during that initial loss of grip as you should still be able to feel the wheel moving around and vibrating during the slide. Is there anyways to mod this FFB effect into existing games?
Raceroom's slip effect is quite good, in case you've never tried it
Probably purposely overdoing it to allow you to feel a difference even on weaker cheapo wheels.
on a sensation pro playseat the transducer vibration felt pretty good . would love to get this working on pc (bought one second hand very cheap , yes it was too good the pass on it)
Did you try it? "hot wiring" the transducer? My friend is reluctant. I say its piece of cake? 😂
Best sim review on youtube, i just wonder if there is a very tangible difference of this vs g29. Im very inclined to buy the g29 because of the pricing. How far from a direct wheel system would you classify each of them?
Gran turismo is not my main focus.
G29 feels less realistic than these high end thrustmaster wheels
Go to my channel and watch review
Have you had a chance to drive the fanatec Dd1 on GT Sport?
I'm curious as to how long SRG has been in existence? You seem to be from an engineering background, what do you do professionally? I agree with the previous comment. a tour of your rig would be a treat!
19:43 As electronics technician all i can say... Clever construction! But caps are a bit too small. Probably bigger ones are inside the wheel
Question...do you use the boost mode in the thrustmaster software or not?
Getting this wheel
I got the tgt 2 paired up with the sf1000 and I seem to have a fair bit of wheel wobble, do you have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
Hi Barry i thought you would have done a review on the thrustmaster sf 1000 ferrari wheel by now ?
Interesting to see you use the road view on GT Sport, there is an option to adjust the view in the cockpit if you didn’t check. Great review as usual.
I’m currently on GT 5 with a DFGT, still having fun though. Decided to pick up a G29 with shifter for just under $300 on Amazon. Question is: what game to get? I just got GT sport but feel like it’s limited in scope even compared to GT5. I have a decent laptop for pc games, any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
iRacing for great physics and amazing racing, but very pricey. Assetto Corsa for great physics and cheap, Project cars 2 for meh physics, meh racing, but a hell of a lot of fun!
EAGLiBRiUM Thanks, seems like the general consensus, do you like F1? I really like the F1 racing on GT5, thinking about getting F1 2018. iracing looks cool but I don’t want to have to subscribe to a service, might try it for a month though.
@@MrNiceKnife unfortunately I haven't tried the F1 games yet so I can't really comment on that. Yeah I was like that with iracing too. However, it got to a point in other games where I just wasn't satisfied with the racing quality, so iracing is where I usually race competitively now, also if you do decide to give iracing a go, make sure to look online for some promotion codes, you can get 3 months for the price of 1 if it's your first time buying iracing!
Just wanted to know if I could put an aftermarket wheel on there? I dont need the buttons on the rim and dont like the size of the stock rim.
Also noticed the race quads in the background. Looks like RaceKraft 5051s on that black quad 🤘.
FastLane FPV Yes you can
Hello. Tell me how to eliminate the noise of the cooler installed in the engine. Thank you
I need a t248 review from you
Would have been nice a comparison between thrustmaster t-gt and Fanatec CSL elite ps4 he reviewed some time ago...
No comparison, fanatec are a cut above. It’s time for thrustmaster to up their game
T-gt +t-lcm + sparco P310 or Ferrari 599 rims better than CSL Elite pack. Quality in T-GT is better too.
No more information on the transducer ? I would really love to wire it (but still in place) to an external amplfiier (only) and use it with simvibe. Also do you happen to know if Assetto Corsa can output sound to two output sources at the same time ? Should be doable I guess. The idea is the resistance in ohms and the power rating for the transducer. I would think its 4 ohms and maybe 25-50W ? Please help if you investigated further ! Thanks.
I know I'm late, but please if anyone has tried it, is it possible to take out the transducer from the back without taking the whole case off?
Would it be harmful to replace the 5vdc 0.5w fan with a 5vdc 0.7w fan ?
good afternoon I have a GT II, can you tell me what the IC code is next to the MCC42A diode? it's the small board where the 1ue colored cables come in and powered with 24v, can you help me?
I’m on Day 4 of my TGT2. The T500rs has been retired.
Hello, I bought a brand new TX leather edition wheel and there is a serious problem with it. I play with three-four fingers(with one hand, no full grip) and regardless of the setting, from the recommended to almost maximum, the FFB is either absent or very faintly felt. When I tested the "forces" from the control panel, there are no vibrations, only the steering wheel turns with some of them. The store refused me a replacement, they sent it to a service center. The base does not overheating at all. What do you think the problem might be? Thanks!
like always, great review...
i expect one more to be review to be compared across all the wheel, torque test...i mean real torque test...there is no channel talked bout that...
Good ideia.
Hi , my t-gt lose the force feedback when i play gt sport for about 30 minutes. Anyone have the same problem?
Hello, a question which is the best option between tgt2 and dd pro
Hi?what bearings are used? same as on T300?
What will be the benefits of unplugging the transducer?
Question ...is the speaker for audio or is it for some tactile ffb vibration ?
Something like some low frequency transducers that we know from home cinema use to mount under couch , that gives the sense of explosions with direct body vibrations ?
It's a transducer for vibrations.
@@simracinggarage3026 thank you. Do you think the Ts-Pc is much superior to the T300?
I mean if the T300 is 8 in detail and 8 in FFB power, the TS-Pc where it stand ?
Good time of day !
I have a T300 for two months now, should I change it to a T-GT ? and what do I get from it compared to the T300 ?
You can get better wheels for the price
I know you get about 2nm more tore force feed back but i have the same question with my TX (same as 300)
Is it woth upgrading will i feel a difference or i have to go to a clubsport to feel a difference
Nice vid, but is it possible to play with Ferrari 488 challenge wheel on this TGT base in advanced mode ?
I can't believe you haven't tried 🙂🙂🙂
Thx
lecz trzeba wspomnieć że przetwornik blokuje wylot powietrza oraz szybko psuje się wentylator który trzeba wymienić na mocniejszy oraz wydajniejszy np. Noctua NF-A4X20 5V
Is it worth it if I upgrade from t300rs gt to t-gt?
I guess these are the updated T3PA, and if so i there may come an updated T3PA PRO verson as well. T3PA PRO is a great pedal set, I am still using mine 8 year old, they never give up. Most i would like to see a third option more high-end pedal set like an ULTIMATE pedal kit from TM.
And why they never did an LC update KIT is a big question to me also...
I actually had a meeting with the TM Development dept, but seems like they were more offended than they would like to listen. It hurted my heart, as i have always been a TM Supporter and enthusiast since 94. But TM has been standing still in the SimRacing area, and not been following the market like they should.
I would say, the TM Developers have been sleeping in the Simracing area. I have been in this business since 1990, and a TM importer & distributor in Scandinaiva from 95 (not today). Also I am the ex-Prosim.no founder.
Is it possible to use this wheelbase with different pedals on PC?
Do the joy sticks work well on pc
So are you saying GTS has better tyre feel than most or all PC Sims? Or was that just with the Thrustmaster wheel that goes to ice?
Are you ever going to get a CSWv2. 5 to compare to the older CSWv2?
As far as the intial start of a slide, yes GTS does have more tire feel than say iRacing and most other but not all PC sims I have used. You loose all rear tire feeling when you enter a slide. Like hitting an ice patch. In GTS you can still feel what the rear tires are doing. I believe this is a result of the type of FFB effect that GTS uses for road surface feel. It is like a constant grainy feel all the time you drive, but not in your face grainy. It is a bit suttle, but there. A bit like driving on older back roads. You can feel the grain of the road surface in the steering wheel. Of couse only my opinion. I'm sure there are others that may disagree.
My T-GT II Base make some high freq noise. Like a pipes. Is it normal?
Best whell for this prices.....
Please help. I buy Thrustmaster T-GT II. Break fit back (T-DFB). What do you recomend?
Dear sir,
Can the base of the T300 RS support the TGT wheel?
Yes
Diamond.... 🤔 circle, square, X, always though that was a triangle. 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe he saw double.
It’s not ” X”
My X button started sticking last night.
pulley size?
Did u took apart the steering wheel
i have the t-gt and very satisfied . also i paid very little . how would you compare it to a T300 in terms of FFB .
I would like to know the answer to that question too!
ts-pc, t-gt and t300 the internal parts are very similar for the price so different
Which one do i buy?
I don't recommend the t300 as it has some issues in terms of cooling that can lead to a loosen driveshaft in the motor. The mount of the Hall sensor is also very likely to break and the power supply also makes troubles in some cases.
My T-GT steering wheel stopped doing the initial check and the control panel doesn't recognize any of the buttons. The steering wheel does not rotate and moves by itself only a few degrees from side to side. I have already performed all the procedures on the support page but the problem has not been resolved. This has happened before and I just restarted the computer twice and the steering wheel returned to normal operation. But now I did several reboots, uninstalled the driver, reinstalled again, without a solution. does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Hey brother, the same here. Do you know how to fix it? Please let me know
Are you using the NLR Motion Platform V3? I see it on the floor. I would love to buy it from you if you aren't using it.
Yes, I will be using it in some up coming reviews.
Awesome! Thanks Barry for the response. I've been wanting one for a very long time. But there isn't much information out there. Specifically regarding its VR support.
Mikey6048 really ? I found a lot of TH-cam videos on. The v3 comes with some a vr mode that keeps the view centered during movement. So it seems good for vr. Again most of the reviews I seen they run vr as well.
@@02semiata Yea I've seen them, but none are in depth like Barry's videos provide. They mention it but down go in depth.
I need all the information I can before I drop 3k$ on something.
Mikey6048 raging beard has a 40 min plus video on his v3 with vr should have all the info you need my dude
Hi Barry,
Cheers from Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺 Europe. I really like your channel, it's very informative and enjoyable.
I would like to mod my T-GT exactly like you said, with a butkicker on my seat. Mainly because I really like GT Sport, and that game is a Playstation exclusive title. So I need to feed my buttkicker with audio or with a modification what you mentioned...
Which one you would prefer, and why?
I'm really looking forward to your answer...
Thank you Barry!
Wish you the bests... 👍
Probably best to discuss this via email. info@simracinggarage.com
I thought it would be useful for others to, but OK....
@@BOTICSELLI When I find the time. I will make a video of converting the T-GT transducer for PC use in the future.
@@simracinggarage3026 I beg you to do it
Hi, can wheel from T-GT be attached and work with T300 base in GT?
Yes but it won't work 100% good
😉👍 T-gt or ts-pc??
ciao ho bruciato l'alimentatore del mio tx-xw vorrei sapere se potrei sostituirlo con qualche altro.fammi sapere te ne sarei grato
Hi Barry,
I am having problems with my t-gt wheel.
When I turn the steering wheel it changes the settings randomly (view, SCT, break balance, blue screen, etc.)
A suggestion please ?
Probably a bad connection between wheel rim and base - check that the DIN connectors on rim and base aren't loose.
@@bigredracingteam9642 thank you very much, i will see this.
To replace you advise me the T300RS of thrustmaster?
Hi i loose the force feedback on my t-gt On gt sport when i use It foto about 20 minutes. What could be the reason? Thanks
Salut. Au cas où tu parles aussi français, peux-tu me dire si un volant T-GT va fonctionner sur un T300 ? Merci
The on/off tire grip when sliding can be tweaked by software in all the sims, so it's not on/off but more progressive. Rf2 is the best in this.
I was considering upgrading from a T300 to one of these but they're still way over priced for what they are.
Captain Slav Same here, I think the CSL might be the slighty better option tho
I for this wheel for $430 😃
Would be good if we could just buy the servo base unit so I could carry over my 599xx wheel and T3PA Pro pedals from my T300rs. If I have to spend £700 then that's Fanatec territory.
1) I dont like driving (dont even own a car)
2) I dont play racing SIMs.
3) I rearly play racing games (except need for speed Porsche 2000, underground 1 and 2)
4) I am watching this and trying to convince myself that I dont need it.
I really like Thrustmaster's licensed products but their pedals are seriously lackluster. On amazon this kit comes in at 715USD vs Fanatec's CSL PS4 kit at 880USD. Why not just increase price 20% and have a LC brake pedal? I don't get it from a marketing pov.
I got my T-GT wheel for $400 on sale and it's currently listed for $530 on Amazon. That's more than a fair price in my opinion for the quality you get, and you even have enough left over for the Ricmotech load cell mod.
Nice mod to eliminate the stitching on the rim:
