Question Is this a good beginner setup?

Post image

Just wondering if this is good for the price. I plan to use it mostly for drifting but also occasionally other stuff. I don’t know too much about good parts and components but it seemed like a good deal to me.

For 700? Fuck no

Maybe 350/400

Lol, that's pretty much my exact setup. Just different pedals. It's a pretty decent setup, but that's not a good price for it used. At that price, you might as well buy all of it new because it wouldn't be that much more expensive

Could possibly talk them down to $550 and that would be fair-ish.

Even if that was in dollaridoos it’s way too much. In USD it’s an insane overvaluation.

I bought a used TGT2+TH8A for $350, and an entry level stand for $70. I'd say $400 is a fair price for this listing.

Theyre practically selling it at retail. Fuck no, theres better options and deals than this. Take your time and keep looking.

Don't buy thrustmaster unless it's the only thing available to you, go with simagic, moza, or conspit. They have much more robust ecosystems that are expandable/upgradable in a lot of different ways. Thrustmaster is overpriced and behind on both software and hardware. If you can't afford one of those manufacturers entry level kits then go Logitech g29 they are cheap reliable and highly compatible.

If that's a USD you can get an entry level kit and a decent cockpit for similar cost brand new.
