I posted a few pages back, moaning about my 3 T300 RS’s and the unreliability.
Well I eventually ordered a Fanatec CSL Elite for ps4 on Monday, direct from Fanatec and it arrived today. The difference is feel is amazing, worth every extra penny. So smooth and quick, feels less toy like too which I think is a plus. I could go on but this isn’t a Fanatec thread, I’m just trying to say to anyone who may read this, give Fanatec a look before buying Thrustmaster.

The T300 does seem to have a bad trackrecord (never owned one). But it is the best in its priceclass with only G29/920 as competition. Which i personally can recommend.
The CSL Elite competes with thrustmaster Ts-PC/XW/GT, considering its price, from which i havent seen that many failures compared to T300/TX. Fanatec left that market (complete package 200-400 EUR) a while back. I do suspect Thrustmaster coming out with a new midrange wheel soon (T350/400).

Never understood why they didnt immediately fixed the design flaws:
- internal power supply
- insufficient cooling
It is a bit strange, since the T300 came out after the T500, which seems like a very reliable wheel. If reliability was higher the T300 is really the best price/performance deal out there.
I’m 90 percent sure you need M6, length depends on what your mounting to but 20mm thread length will be fine for most footplates as they aren’t too thick.
If you’re picky look for an 8.8 marking on the bolts, means they are hardened steel that’s all, you know they won’t break.

hi guys, I want to share, if you open up top and bottom cover of t300rs , you will see there is 2 black cable act as ground, but there is no metal part that connect wheel base to your rig, meaning is static current will not go to ground since there is no metal part connect the wheel to your rig, and static current can be dangerous to t300rs in long time period. To solve it is to make sure your electricity properly grounded, or ( in my case ) grab a piece of cable, use it to connect metal part of the wheel to your rig via 1 of 2 mounting bolt. Next step is to make sure your rig is also grounded. One thing, I use hole at the top of the steering coulomb and attached a cable on it and connect the other end to one of mounting bolt. My wheel has been 5 years now and still OK.

Ever since I started using my new R383 rim this week the fan no longer comes on. Thought this was strange since it almost always turned off/on when using the GTE rim. I tried to enable the ‘forced’ cooling mode but the fan still does not activate even after the mode light flashes twice confirming. I keep the FFB strength low and the wheel doesn’t seem to run warm, so I don’t seem to be in any danger of overheating. Still, this seems odd. I updated the firmware back in late December so I think it’s the latest version.

Still under warranty so not going to break it open just yet. Next step may be to check the firmware via my PC. Maybe I’m missing something.

Upgrade that I do 1 year ago, it makes ffb feels better and the wheel is more precise

Anyone have an issue with the T300 not going to full 100% throttle in GTSport?
I was looking at the bar that shows throttle position and I accidentally banged the throttle: it instantly jumped to max (100% filled bar) throttle. If I just push on the throttle, I'm only getting about 90% of the bar. Is that normal?
Is there a recalibration method in GTSport? Because I can't find it. Thanks.

I got a question, I have t300 gt and I can’t find cars which have soft lock at 1080 degree wheel lock, only 900 or less - is it normal? The game is GT Sport

My T300rs overheated.Got it repaired then swapped over to Xbox so sold it. Now my Tx wheel has died, really violent calibration and has no weight when racing, its gone ‘floaty’ light. And off it goes to Tm for a repair, iam really starting to question the build quality of Tm wheels now !
