Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Racing Wheel

as soon a i bought it and i diddint work i hate this

This wheel is so good/ popular that they are still selling them 11 years later.

having only ever used the logitech G series wheels prior, i thought i’d try the “next step” before a direct drive. mainly purchased for Gran Turismo on the PS5. genuinely couldn’t be happier with it. it’s so much smoother and the feedback feels much nicer than the logitechs i’ve used before. for this price point i’d definitely recommend it. only complaint is the wheel coating is rubber not leather so it can feel a touch sticky but it’s not an issue.

Long Term Review... If you can call 1 year and 4 months a long-term review... This is exactly how long this product lasted before the circuit board failed. TL;DR: Wheel is fantastic. Feedback is strong and reliable. Hardware is unreliable. Circuit board failed after only 1 year and 4 months of relatively sparse use. No repair centres in Australia (believe me this is important!) Thrustmaster won't send a replacement circuit board. "Out of warranty, buy a new one" attitude. Spend your money elsewhere. I'll get this out of the way quick. I am an avid electronics enthusiast and am very comfortable with electronic hardware. I am also a qualified engineer. Long Version: I was setting up again after about 4 weeks hiatus from sim racing, quite excited to be putting my hands on the wheel again. I plugged it in... Nothing... Dead silence and no lights. Firstly, I checked the power cable for 240VAC and got the reading, confirming cable is okay. ***Dread sets in*** I opened up the (now out of warranty) servo base and checked the power supply to the circuit board, 25VDC as expected. ***Dread Intensifies*** I checked continuity on the pins of the USB connector and found the cable was working perfectly. ***Dread Overwhelms*** I knew then this was a hardware failure. ***Existential Crisis Sets In*** Being a good customer to Thrustmaster, I contacted them knowing full well this was out of warranty. They informed me of a bootloader procedure I hadn't tried, because I had already determined it to be a hardware failure. I tried it while videoing it so they too could see and again, dead silence. Nothing works. No lights. No wheel detected. Bootloader mode failed. Again, further affirming it to be a hardware failure. After Thrustmaster also determined it to be a hardware failure (no surprises there), they proceeded to tell me they cannot send me a new circuit board as I was not a "repairer". Secondly, they have no repair centre in Australia, so there goes that idea. Breaking it down, the message seems to be: "it's out of warranty, please buy a new one". Why didn't I get the extended warranty, you ask? Simple. It was extra money I didn't have. I thought Thrustmaster to be a reputable brand and trusted that the wheel would last me a long time. Was I wrong. Not only have I wasted $700, Thrustmaster are unwilling to help me fix it. I am severely disappointed in this product. It had great force feedback, the hardware felt great, it was responsive, but NONE of that matters if it doesn't work. I cannot in good conscience recommend you spend your money here. Take it elsewhere or save up a little more for the extended warranty, should you choose to risk it. You may be very glad you did.

I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. Great buy 👌 my son says it's the best on market.

First sim wheel and pedals! Mounted the wheel base to the desk works great! Make sure to tighten the wheel to base and screw it in a bit. Gotta install the software for it on pc, windows did it automatically. And make sure to adjust each game settings for the wheel. Wheel feels amazing in Dirt Rally 2.0 Not too noisy (unless drifting or crashing)

Good quality product, sturdy build and durable for sim-racing.

Good product,perfect condition for the price range

I have recently got back into SIM racing and after trying the Thrustmaster T300 that my son has decided I needed to upgrade from my 5yr old Logitech G920. The feedback that can be felt through the wheel is so much better than the G920. It is also so easy to change wheels (or even make your own) that doesn't exist with the G920

Good feedback from the wheel, pedals are solid and adjustable for height and width.

Great mid level wheel and pedal set. FFB is great and pedal feel is good.

Solid wheel that gets the job done, it’s great that it can interchange steering wheel attachments too

I brought this product 3 weeks ago, I have to say on pulling it out of the box the first impression was solid, well crafted. On set-up easy even with Firmware update check. Set-up was easy. Use the product was exceptional quality, the feel you get from this wheel in game and its force feed back amazing amazing. I definitely surpassed my previous Sim wheel. So smooth the pedals have a realistic feel and are very precise. I am over the moon to say the least.

I bought this Last July (only 8 months ago). after years of researching and trying to decide which wheel to buy for sim racing. When i picked this up i was thrilled with its performance. It was such a huge upgrade over my previous Logitech wheels. That impression was short lived after only 4 months the accelerator developed a problem where it would report false inputs. After 6 months The problem had appeared on the middle brake pedal. Then last month the same problem started occuring on the clutch. Researching online i found people had mentioned potentiometers were getting dirty and needed regular cleaning. So i put the thin adapter on my vacuum cleaner and pointed it into the pedal well. That resolved the problem in the first 2 pedals. The Accelerator though is still having the problem. The wheel itself is fantastic and would score 5 stars from me. Sadly the pedals need a redesign because they are just not built to last more than 6 months im afraid :(

-Bought the T300RS GT bundle 3 months ago and it has not failed yet. -Force feedback is quite smooth and quick. Rotation speed is fast enough for all but the most intense transitions when drifting. -Gas pedal is a bit too high to comfortably heel-toe with and the brake mod is a bit too stiff and sudden in feeling compared to an actual car. -My right paddle shifter had become less clicky by the second week. -Rarely I would experience the fan making an obnoxious grinding noise when actively cooling, which would only end after it slowed down. -The provided desk clamp isn't a great design, having free movement upwards and being hard to undo as the metal parts squeezed against each other to get it stable on the desk. -The default steering wheel also leaves a residue on your hands and makes them feel rubbery. -When rotating the wheel without any effects on (i.e. unplugged) there is a dull notchiness in the movement. It does not feel the smoothest like a real wheel or something spinning on bearings. Overall, the price is quite steep for what you get, but the T300RS is an absolute must if you want to sim drift. It provides the fastest rotation in its price range which will make your life easier counter-steering. Quality issues certainly have let me down but for now it still works fine and I play Assetto Corsa nearly every day. Hope to see you online if you decide to join the hobby. :)

I purchased the t300rs, tried it for 15 minutes then left it over night and it never turn on again. Sticking to the Logitech

Purchased a month a go, I am very pleased with its performance, very smooth with virtually no whining sound from motor when turning as I've had in the past with other steering wheels.

Fantastic bit of kit. Immersive with great FFB, additional cone brake mod, 3 pedal setup. Wheel dimension of 28cm *small however thickness of rim great. Swapped out for the Sparco R383 Rally Wheel Add-On :)

Great way to finish my collection for this wheels.
