Where did you find the manual?

On Thrustmaster's support site (US version, search for T598).

Lets hope there will be a separate base available to purchace. Could be under 400€ range.

If the wheel has a diameter of 30cm what's the diameter of the base?!
I thought the existing dd wheel bases were large, but this one looks xbox huge..

I'm concerned for anybody trying to fit that behind or under their monitor, if they have a full sim rig. This looks like it will work great for people just mounting to a desk.

I was checking the dimensions of this particular base and it is a big one in terms of height. This might not be a very manageable dimension when mounting.

Just for comparison in terms of height:

• T248 ___________ 165.40mm
• T300/tx _________ 178.11mm
• T818 ____________180.00mm
• TGT(II) __________193.40mm
• T500 ____________199.00mm
• TSPC/TSX ________207.40mm
• T598 ____________213.00mm (the tallest)

As for Fanatec's bases height:

• Podium DD1/DD2 ______ 155.00mm
• Clubsport DD/DD+ _____ 163.50mm
• CSL DD/GT DDpro ______163.50mm

Logitech's Gpro height is 200mm

I think it should be a consideration when is about to be mounted on a cockpit. Unless the user is used in driving with the steering wheel in his/her belly height or even if the screen is mounted very high.

If this one is so tall, a more powerful base will be enormous.......?
