Ok, you should be fine there then, as far as clipping. It’s possible the wheel jumped a tooth/cog, on the belt then it sounds like, which I haven’t heard of on that wheel before. Did it re Center properly after resetting the wheel/console?

Nope. I had to to it manually by centering it and pressing a combination of buttons...

It's working fine since then, played for a few hours yesterday... but I'm worried it might be temporary and happen again.

How long have you had the wheel? I put almost 4k hours on my T300 over the life of GTS, they are fairly durable. Do you normally run it with the fan set to “always on”? That supposedly helps to up their lifespan a bit.

Yeah, first thing I did was switching on the fan mode to always on as I read somewhere.

Bought it new almost a month ago.

Good stuff! I’d contact Thrustmaster if it happens again then, since you’d still be well under warranty. Hopefully that won’t be needed though. 👍

Semi unrelated, but I wanted to give an update on my T300RS. Knock on wood, but it is still working 8 years later!!! I got it for project CARS 1 in 2015, and other than the spring of my accelerator pedal randomly breaking within the first year (they sent me a brand new pedal set after I sent them a picture of the broken set), I've had zero issues with it

Also I have 1550 hours in gt sport, around 500 in gt7, 500 in pCARs, 300 in Driveclub, 1000 in assetto corsa between steam and ps4, and 100s more hours in various racing games like FH3 (on pc) and F1 games

I'm pretty happy with the reliability of this thing. Knock on wood again!

Awesome numbers, hope it keeps like that!

I got no luck on mine, problem came back... Will try warranty next.

I don't know what warranty conditions are like where you are but if you bought it from a store local could you try just taking back to them?

Hi.

I connected the Thrustmaster T300 on the PS4 but switched to PC mode, to try and stimulate a few things.

On GT7 it's recognized as T500 and the FFB is really weak, so much so that I had to bump the in game slider to 7... On the PC dashboard it's set to 60% strength.

Is there any problem in doing that?

I'm testing if I still get belt slip with weaker FFB. On PS4 mode the 1 setting is too weak, but 2 is already too strong...

Thanks!
