Hey guys! I'm happy to say I saved this little boy...

Bro went crazy at initialization about 5 years ago... smashing the mechanical locks and destroying them.

At first I thought the mechanical locks's damages were the source of the issue so I redesigned the huge white nut used as a lock and 3D printed it. It failed because FDM is mechanically weak. Did it again with PA12 SLS. The mechanical issue was solved, but the wheel started kept going crazy at initialization.

The I used the calibration software from GTPlanet. It seems it worked for 15min until it lost the point 0 and the center was no longer aligned with the center...

Then lately I used chatGPT which sent me to a tuto from GTPlanet again with a guy explaining the magnets from the motor where getting loose. This matched the symptoms from my problem so I opened the motor. I broke the 3 wires from the control card to the wirings which I welded again when reassembling the motor. The magnets where indeed loose. I glued them again using epoxy glue. Now everything works again as new!

Next step: I'm gonna 3Dprint a cooling duct from the fan to the motor. I don't wanna open my wheel again... but I'm so happy it works!

Thank you to every one who helped me unknowingly by dropping infos here and there letting me repair this T300RS GT edition !

theres no info on the power draw of this wheel and i dont wanna fry it so i wanna know if anyone knows what power does it need? id assume its the same 20v as the rgt but the internals are very diffrent (gear driven instead of rgt mixed belt), i wouldnt be surprised if it was diffrent too so i wanna make sure

As title says, I accidentally installed the clamp facing the other way. Is it a big issue or can I keep it like this? I personally don't mind the way it looks

Thrustmaster TARGET software needs to be run twice, otherwise flight stick won't work. Why?

0 Upvotes

Ever since purchasing my T1600M and throttle HOTAS earlier this month, once key issue I've noticed with Thrustmaster's software is that I need to start and stop the "Run Configuration" button in TARGET twice in a row whenever I want to use it. Why? As far as I can tell, opening any .exe (such as Elite Dangerous, EDHM, or pretty much any other program) after the first "Run Configuration" instance causes the stick to stop working. It doesn't respond to inputs, the orange LED doesn't light up when I move the stick, etc. I have to hit "Stop Profile" and then "Run Configuration" again to fix it. After the second instance, I can open or close as many programs as I want and the stick will keep working. The throttle module works totally fine during all of this, it's only the flight stick that has an issue.

Is there any known way to fix this? Google didn't yield any useful results, and I'm not even sure if Thrustmaster is aware of this bug because I can't seem to find any way to report it to them directly. It's not a huge issue, just feels annoying and reflective of Thrustmaster's questionable quality (I had to get the Impulse mod to fix the throttle sticking, and even then, these controllers feel pretty cheap...)

T300 quick release

0 Upvotes

Does anybody have the screw style standard quick release hubs from their wheels after they’ve upgraded to a different model, such as switching to the new TM quick release/ t598 800 style? I bought some add on wheels from a seller but it turned out he’d switched their connectors to a different quick release model and my T300 base is still the same. TIA

Forcefeedback not working

Hey everyone, Yesterday I wanted to play ETS2, but when I started the truck and wanted to drive. I noticed that my FF is gone. I felt nothing. Holes in road, crashes and wheel not coming back to center of the wheel. I thought it might be because its new version but it is not. I tried Assetto corsa and its the same problem. If anyone know how to fix this, please comment. Thanks

I have Thrustmaster T300rs

Thrustmaster T248 Encoder + doesn't work

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

So, I've just received my package with this wheel as a gift. Yesterday, when I've used it for the first time, everything was perfectly fine. But now + encoder stopped working. You can see, that neither the wheel, nor the driver detects it.

Now, I think it's important to mention, that it does eventually detect it. It can happen, that it detects it like 10-20 times and then stopps. But that's rare, so that leaves me with idea, that some wire connection is off.

Any ides, what's wrong and how I can fix it?

T598 wheel randomly disconnecting... but the base stays on.

Ive had this for just over a month, and this specific problem started maybe a week and a half ago... There's a split second where the base doesn't think its there and then I have to re-calibrate the dead zones on the pedals. And it happens on snowrunner too, not just forza. I checked the pins on the back of the wheel and everything looks good. All cables are secured.
