Thrustmaster Tx motor same as a t300

[Gav1810]

As the title says. In a previous post I mentioned I have broken my thrustmaster t300 motor and carnt find a replacement but I have been offered a motor out of a thrustmaster tx (they look the same) Anybody no if they are and would it work. Thx

If this is correct they're basically the same wheelbase apart from PS compatibility with the T300 and a difference in steering rotation.

yes the tx and t300 motors are identical. same product numbers and everything. ive boughten broken thrustmasters on ebay and used parts to fix other ones.. the 900 degree vs 1080 degree doesnt matter since thats just the limiter inside the base.. only thing i suggest is be sure to know how to solder and solder well enough because u will have to if u want to have it work without a hitch.. but its super easy.. and just make sure you take a marker before u remove the motor.. and mark the metal so that when u put in the new motor u can tell exactly where they had it set for belt positioning. that way its easy to do .. also before ptuting it back togehter. plug it in . and see that the belts are tight enough but not too tight or u will have unness tension and the belts will wear out early and ur force feedback will feel retarded.

Hi there thx for replying but not sure what you mean about soldering or making a marker as I changed the motor without doing any of these. Just did a straight swap redid the firmware then to do calibration Press and hold the Share + Option + Mode buttons at the same time with your other hand for a couple of second.. Yes your right about getting tension on the belts. Only thing I can say about the soldering is that if you take the motor to bits to replace the center shafts then yes you would need to soldier but if you get the complete motor out of a t300 or tx it's just a straight swap.
I just to reply just incase people find it useful thx.

Do you think it would be possible to convert a tx to 1080° if so how hard do you think it would be?
