(MODS question) Thrustmaster TH8a

[Yapci]

Hi, I received one of this for Christmas yesterday and was wondering what mods there are available to improve the feeling.

I saw sequential mod from richmotech but it costs half the price of the shifter, so maybe there are some more cheap mods that makes the same nowadays!

Thanks guys!

Google.
1.Th8rs spring plunger mod

2.3d printed th8rs/a gate shifter (you can find some free online 3dmodels and have them printed somewhere)

It's a nice shifter, you can put extra rubber bands as well.

If you use it in sequential mode buy the official TM sequential knob, it improves a lot the feeling of the shifter, lowering the center of gravity of the lever.

I 3D modeled and printed my own short shift plate, the file is available here on RD.

I did the second plunger mod but wasnt satisfied. I ordered 3dRAP mod. Best mod i have done to my shifter. https://www.3drap.it/product/mod-cambio-th8a-improved-feel/
They also sale differents plates. https://www.3drap.it/thru-mods/

Any way to toughen up the sequential on the TH8A? The Ricmotech 50dollar plus shipping to Europe is just too much.

as in the resistance of the shift?

 

[FrejkiChodak]

yeah of the sequential shift mode

 

[Hor-hay]

saw a YouTube clip of one guy wrapping rubber bands around inside to increase resistance

Knob weight reduction and shaft shortening improved feel and reduced missed shifts for me.. https://blekenbleu.github.io/pedals/TH8A/TH8A

Just 3d printing a new plate wont work it has a spring mechanism built in too.

 

[andy clarke]

On the box it says comes with a sequential plate and to turn the shifter 90 degrees ?

 

[andy clarke]

To allow for sequential ? Ok no problem if not
