Awesome Wheel
I am a racing enthusiast and I was looking for a replacement for my g25 steering wheel that went belly up. I really liked the g25 and although mine died, 6+ years of heavy usage were decent enough that I considered sticking with Logitech. I’m glad that I didn’t. One day I saw that the Thrustmaster 300RS GT was on sale and I jumped on it. The 300RS GT is a Cadillac among beaters. 1080 degrees of motion, awesome peripherals (Yes, get the TH8A, you will not regret it.), the force feedback feels like the real deal and the movement of the wheel is extremely fluid. Some people complained about the pedals not being good enough… about 5 months of heavy usage and they are awesome… and just to make thing better my g25 looked like a toy, this one also looks and feel like the real deal.
Pros:
- Great range of motion
- Sturdy construction
- Bang for your buck
- Several enhancing peripherals available.
Cons:
- Not necessarily a con but the paddles rotate with the steering wheel, although some cars are like that, I prefer static paddles. Did not knock a star for it because it excels at everything and this is a preference more than a failure.
Other thoughts:
- The force feedback is very strong. If planning on running it for hours at the time I strongly recommend it dropping it to at least 50%. Running at a 100%, 20 minutes feel like an hour, if you know what I mean. Strongly recommended, two thumbs up.
