[Buying advice/tips] - Burnt T500RS - best option?

RobertLidstroem · Jul 28, 2018

Hi!

So, my trusty T500RS burnt yesterday! Was so happy that i got a very satisfying FFB in GTR2 and was enjoying a fully working PnGv3! All of a sudden i was thinking; "That smoke from the car infront was a little to realistic!?" - Few seconds later, smoke keeps coming and the smell of rubber and burning electronics

So, my setup is:

T500RS
T3PA-PRO pedals
TH8A Add-On Shifter
Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On

I have used this setup since 2014. I maybe play max 5 hours per week, and i have other holes to throw money into (house, kids, Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce - 66) so i'm not going Heusinkveld-whatever-mega-hyper-$$$$....

I looked at the TS-PC, but at 500$ thats a bit steep.

So i'm thinking the T300 Racing Wheel Servo Base?

All my current things seem to fit and at a more human price.

Ideas? Tips? I have to be ready for ACC!

Thank you!

PS: Anyone racing GTR2 with T300?

GTR 2 and power and glory 3. The last Samurai

Are you sure the electronics is burned? May just be the rubber piece between the motor and the case to reduce vibrations that burned if you are lucky.

I have the TX same base as T300RS and the TS-PC. Had the T500RS before. You will likely miss some torque with the T300RS but it run a lot smoother if that is important. TS-PC I believe have more power then the T500RS and also run a bit smoother but not as smooth as the TX/T300RS. Feels more like a super rigid T500RS to me so that would probably be quite safe.

If you like larger rims like 320 cm or more I think you will think the TS-PC is worth the extra for sure.
