Your a fucking moron this wheel and pedal set is made to be mounted in a
cockpit or to a solid surface,
not held down with your fucking spare foot you fuck wit.

A simulation like forza, very funny joke

Jordan Morton says:

You don’t use racing wheels much do you??

1.”drift 3″ like wtf xD
2. 3rd person view
3.hand positioning on the wheel???

Dude please don’t demonstrate wheel again, i mean the info is good but
after watching you handle the wheel in action i really can’t take this
review seriously

rcarlos243 says:

put it on lap… what kind of idiot would do that -_-

and that third person view on “drift” 3.

seriously…

the wheel base on the TX is actually technically better than both Fanatec
CSW and T500 RS as it uses a brushless motor instead of mabuchi motor.

The TX wheel base is faster and more silent than both CSW and T500 RS.

the con is that the build quality is lacking as it uses alot of plastic
(but can replace it with a premium wheel rim)

the pedals is also faaaaar from bad. I would say they are pretty good in
terms of feel (the brake feels a little bit too hard tbh).

if you think the pedals that came with the TX is bad, then I suggest you
should try the pedals that came with Logitech DFGT.

this so called “reviewer” has no idea how to do a constructive criticism
about racing wheels.

fail review is fail.

Ultimate Racer says:

lol you said playing some drift 3 its dirt 3

UnrelatedNonsense says:

Well we waited and Madcatz gave us another $400 wheel. I guess our last
hope will be fanatec with a more reasonably priced wheel

J Biafra says:

Spend half the review saying dont just put it on your lap to race? Duhhh
Are there morons out there that actualy buy a wheel and then complain about
this? Wheel looks pretty good but way overpriced. I got a thrustmaster F430
( also ferrari replica) and it works like a dream. Yes the pedals sliding a
bit can be a hassle but easly fixed with just fixing it in place. I just
clamped a 2by4 on the legs of my table where the pedals are pressed
against, doesn’t move ‘n inch. Different setup can mean different solutions
but should be ‘n easy fix if you dont wanne spend a ton on a playseat.
Wheel looks decent enough and i love the 458 but the F430 wheel only cost
me like 150 back in the day and works like a dream…

ps: F430 works on pc and ps3, dont have ‘n xbox so i donno about that

Kevin Iversen says:

Does this work on PS4?

Hymer300 says:

Drift 3? You mean Dirt 3

Pieter Henning says:

Does it work on xbox 360 kinect

realtrisk says:

Not a hardcore sim racer fails to comprehend the point of the product, the
quality of a product relative to others in the market, and the fact that
the value of the dollar is dropping so fast this costs less than comparable
wheels of five years ago. Ignore this guy and go watch the Inside Sim
Racing review, a much better, more comprehensive, intelligent review.

TrespasserProduction says:

thumbs up for wearing saga

GamingLegends says:

Lmao.

ArmedAndReady14 says:

How do you mount it?

angad Brar says:

2:57 you were busting the shit out of the car asshole

Hundy Brawler says:

terrible review 

Dennis Zurlinden says:

worst review

angad Brar says:

1:50 were you controlling the wheel with the controller???


Ivan Lujan says:

Would it work in PS3?

SilentTalkingBanana says:

My only real deal breaker on this wheel is the price. Its $400! Im only
paying for a good thrustmaster wheel with some cheap pedals (basically what
every high end thrustmaster wheel does). I guess this was why Thrustmaster
is out of my options on getting a good racing rig. I went with fanatec
instead because it was cheaper and it Im paying $230 for nice medal pedals
and a porsche v2 wheel. This is more a console option because fanatec
doesnt support xbox one.

K4g4m1 says:

Great review, thanks!

Derek Wegmann says:

He said it moves too much so he has to race with two feet. your suppose to
race with too feet.

The Epic Ninja Sloth says:

Fail review.

poly econ says:

So……..Do you actually own a Xbox One??

Top Shelf says:

did you play it on the xbox one? does it allow for a headset to be
connected to it? I tried the thrustmaster spider version the cheaper one
and it doesn’t have a connection for the headset.

otherwise good review mate. liked ya vid
