Going nuts....what to buy??

Boby Kim · Dec 7, 2016

I had a G27 for years without a single hickup. Bought a T500. My first one burned through. Received a new base which only works for 50%. (chance of full wheel loss during heavy FFB activity).
During an inside inspection i saw that the belt has nasty cracks...
So what to do? Buy a Accuforce DD thinking within long term investment or go for short term going for the upcomming TM TS PC or Fanatec V2
Spending 2000 euro on a wheel is not done for me but when it lasts for say ten years i would have spend about two midrange TM or Fanatec wheels...
I really miss the midrange quality...

Actually the Accuforce is midrange... between Fanatec and Bodnar

I don't regret my Accuforce spending at all. Still very happy with it.

me neither,
only hiccup I have is the signal of the paddle shifters crashes easily
but it comes with a cable that bypasses this flaw
only thing is you have a wire hanging from your wheel to the back of your wheelbase then
this is only when using paddleshifting
and I know a friend who already installed the new 'hub' or how is it called so he no longer suffers from this

I heared thrustmaster will come up with a direct drive wheel as well
don't know when or how good it will be

You could get an OSW. You can get ones that are plug and play these days.

Get a small mige and simucube. It's really the best option.

Hey Boby,

Found this on assetto corsa forum about the new high end thrustmaster:

maybe worth some of your investigation time?

Thanks Tim! Saw some YT vids about the wheel. The problem is...i would like to have a close up on the internals. But i havent found anybody who will rip appart their brand new wheel. Strange...isnt it?
