And now for some GOOD NEWS!!! Just unboxed my 2nd T300, (1st one went back due to the pedals only registering 50%) and I can happily report that everything works perfectly. Tried it on GT6 and the pedals were fully registering this time round.
I had to wait 6 weeks (Amazon were out of stock) but as I had hopes, it seems like the problem I had was down to a dodgy production run.

Was well worth the wait.
 
So, you saying to open the pedal set and set the pedal gear teeth to pull tighter?

Power down.
Remove metal pedal faces.
Remove 10 or so screws on back (it will want to spring apart at this point)
Keep both halves together and set down on a hard surface pedals sitting up as normal.
Remove top half of cover (pedals are attached to the bottom half - try to not let them move to much but no big deal if they do)
Don't touch the pots just yet.
Push down a pedal slightly so it engages the pot (you will see it move)
Then hold the pot and let the pedal off slightly until just the point it disengages the the pot. (you will feel it)
With the feeling of the disengagement point turn the pot round one tooth so the pedal will engage one tooth earlier.
Repeat with other pedal
Tilt the brake spring slightly so when you build the halves back together it will mate easily with the pedal.
Put the top half back on and squeeze halves together (awkwardish)
With halves held together as best you can turn it over and put all the screws back in and tighten fully.
Set down on floor as normal and push pedals a couple of times so they sit as they should (might not be necessary but cant hurt)
Power up the wheel to recalibrate.
Try to see if dead zone has gone.
If it has rejoice. If it hasn't repeat.
Took me three goes all be it the first two i never powered up / down to recalibrate. had a moment of panic then dawned on me it just needed to go through calibration, worked first time after that.

Hope that helps - I'd hadn't seen the previous guide posted so just pulled it apart and hoped for the best, luckily worked out for the best.
 
Yesteday I tested T3PA pedals with T300RS. Well, gas pedal had 30% deadzone. Brake pedall (without conical break mod) seems to be less stiffer than stock break pedal. But I think if you place some rubber (best will be the anti-resonance rubber spike) behind the brake stock pedal http://forum.avmania.e15.cz/download/file.php?id=4890&mode=view it does the job.

I have returned T3PA to the retailer and hope CSR Elites are much much better :)

CSR pedals work with t300rs on ps4? No delay and it register fine?
 
Ok. Ok. So ima own t300rs, the buy a CPX adapter then csr pedals? Will I be able to use the CSR US pedals.. cause I don't think I can afford the elite pedals...

Thank you in advanced fellas
It's worked any fanatec pedal depend what you want.

If you want buy CPX adapter...you might waiting for long...I am waiting since October.

Yes, the CPX adapter is REQUIRED to use Fanatec pedals with a Thrustmaster wheel and it doesn't matter which Fanatec pedals you use, you just got to have that adapter to make it work.

This is of course only for consoles, PC's don't care about that stuff and you don't need an adapter for them to work on a PC.

ok, cool! Is there any delay, spikes, or input lag? Any experience anyone please share.

Thank again.

To be more specific - it works with CSR Elites and CSP v1/v2 pedals with

I would say It CPX does NOT support classic CSR pedals - only CSR Elites and Clubsports.

Can you or @mrbasher confirm that? You may be right, to be honest, I assumed all of the Fanatec pedals connect the same way and probably have the same outputs but I suppose the standard CSR could be an exception since it has no load cell brake but I don't know for sure if that makes a difference or not in this application.

Actually no, I can`t. Thats what is written on @mrbasher webpages here below the picture http://www.basherboards.com/CPX
so I believe its there for some reason :)

I know that's what written but lets be honest, the standard CSR pedals aren't really popular at all and no one is really trying to use them with a Thrustmaster wheel since most people that buy a set of stand alone Fanatec pedals get the CSR Elites or CSP's. But they very well could be different enough that they don't work with the CPX.

Then again, I used a SFA-1 adapter with a TH8A shifter which was designed for the TH8RS shifter so who knows.
 
CSR pedals also don't have USB, so you really can only use them with Fanatec wheels as far as I'm aware. CSR Elite or Clubsports needed for using as a separate USB device on the PC with the T300 without a CPX.

Good info.
 
hello guys! i have been playing around with my t300 for a while now and picked up gran turismo 6 a couple days ago. What is the best drift car/ drift setup on gt6? and which road do you guys prefer?

Regards
Vidarmannen :D

Sorry for bad english, im from Norway :)
 
Guys.... i have to say this. I never played any PC sim until some days ago, as the PS4 only have DriveClub and it's too arcade, i downloaded the demo of LFS. And oh man!! How a better sim game, with, proper FFB makes the wheel feels so much better. Now i clearly see the diference with my old DFGT.

My cockpit is almost ready, my T500 pedals, if i had some lucky will, arrive on friday and the TH8A will be shipped on the second week of the next month... and my dream setup will be complete! *-*

PS: Is amazing how a old game like LFS is soo fun do play. i bought the S1 package and it is really good.
 
Damn it I can't decide was looking at both the ferarri wheel ind the ps wheel I think I like the ps wheel better now. Is there any reason one is better than the other?

Never played LFS. But you really need to try Assetto Corsa. While we're at it, you should also download Raceroom Experience. It's free and you can literally drive different cars/tracks by entering their special challenges/competitions.

Seeing as you're from Brazil..try Game Stock Car Extreme. Free 30 day trial and an awesome sim.
 
Bought mine on amazon uk ,they sent me a refurbished , (probably returned from someone else),covered on dust, with no clamps on it , and the problem is that im from Brazil, so be carefull guys, they are trying to push the returned itens into their customers

I got a brand new one from Amazon last week.
 
Thanks guys, allready downloading the Game Stock Car, never saw anyone talking about it, looks promissing...

The other game i couldn't download it, it install the Steam and when i try to open it, the Steam says that there's no internet connection, really weired!!

Dougals, man... that's sad to hear from you. Walwart from Brazil is selling the T300 for R$ 2.500,00, not really a bad price considering the quotation o exchange between real > dolar.

But is the wheel at least working correctly?

I couldnt test it , i dont have the uk plug, and im waiting for the power converter that i have boughted to arrive to try it.But its a shame , it came covered on dust ,the pedals are all dirty , with a smashed box, im really pissed!

I saw on kabum for less than 2500BRL. but i have paid 200GBP on the black friday, thats why im really pissed!!
 
Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated, I am not skilled with computers and having trouble with this.
Have one question though.. Is it possible to set your default steering rotation in the control panel for PS3 ?
That's all I use it for is console.. So far I have the folder created and installed the driver (I think), but the folder is empty.

I installed the free Adobe Reader, but is that enough ? Maybe that's what the problem is, I don't have the right version of Acrobat.. Does anyone know ?

What kind of System Operation are you using? I had some problem in upgrading my T300 at first. But what you have to do is to have the wheel on PS3 mode and connect the pedals after pluging the wheel to your computer. As the Thrustmaster program asks you to connect the wheel, connect it and wait untial the message saying that the device is fully installed and ready to use, only after that press continue on the update program.

If you are using Windows 8 like me, in order to find the correct tool you will have to presse the "windows" key, then in the left botton on the screen you'll find a arrow, click it and the apps menu will appear, go to the "T" section and find the Thurstmaster Firware Updater and the Control Panel the tools that you'll need in order to upgrad your wheel.

Ahhh... there it is.. I have 8 also.. Thank You Coco, I really appreciate it.
Just got back from dinner, but will try it this evening..
Thanks again..:cheers:

I'll unplug the pedals, and plug them in after the wheel when I do it.
 
Oh goooodd no no no no no no!!!

Connect the pedals BEFORE, my mistake here, sorry.

Everything else is correct. :banghead:
