Thrustmaster T300RS GT Review

The fist thing that caught my attention with this wheel, is the smoothness of it’s delivery of FFB queues. I’ve used other wheels that had a notchy feel. But not this one.
I did have some dead zone at the center, but I was able to dial that out to a point where is was not noticable when racing. Of course the most important thing a FFB wheel must do is relay what a car is doing to our hands. We need to be able to feel the front end of a car get light as the rear tires exceed their grip limits. And allow us to make
steering input corrections to keep the car from rotating out of control. And this in high speed corners as well as under maximum braking as we enter a corner. This T300RS
wheel was able to do that.  Even running Project Cars 2 on a PlayStation 4 console, which I felt had the most  vague or unrealistic FFB of the 3 games I tested with. I like the factthat this wheel has a hall sensor setup for reading the motor shafts position. It should give a better service life than if they were using a physical positioning sensor.
At 32.5 volts running at 1.6 amps the motor seemed to have ample power on tap. My sample of this model never had any FFB fade when I was running in longer sessions.
Although, there are people that have reported this issue on their wheels.The GT pedals also did a good job of allowing the user to  properly control a car with braking and acceleration. The conical brake mod that comes pre installed, had a better feel to me than using the stock spring and block configuraton. Although there are better conical bits
available in the aftermarket segment. I will also be testing a load cell mod in the near future to see if It can make my braking more consistent. I do like the pedal faces on this GT
set better than the stock pieces. Just feels a bit more solid under foot. The best price I could find for the T300RS GT set was 377. For the market segment that the this kit is intended for, I think it does the job it was designed to do. I would give the T300RS GT a look if I was in the this market for a FFB solution. But remember, you can get the same
performance from the non GT T300RS kit for 345. So if you dont want the conical brake mod and the upgraded pedal plates, I would go with that model.
