Hi all , I have a G29 , on Ps5, at the minute. I have read loads of reviews about upgrading etc.
I am now trying to choose between 2 wheels , the T300 rs GT.... OR the Tgt 2.
I'm thinking I could get the T300 GT , buy some t-lcm pedals, sell the GT pedals and my old G29 kit, making some money back.
OR would the Tgt 2 be a better set up ? Even after the pedal upgrade on the T300 GT.
Any thoughts on the route I should take ?
Regards
Mark
 
I would only consider the gt300/tgt-2 if they are used and you get a really good deal.
If you want to buy new wait until you have the fundings and buy yourself a dd system ._.
 
As a former T300 owner I would not recommend buying one new. Decent FFB when cool but always gets weaker when it overheats and goes into 50% power mode. It's down to the crappy $1 cooling fan and feeble sized heatsink on the motor. Now if you buy used and can get a bargain price then it's out of warranty then you could mod it to stop it overheating.

On a side note,
If someone who owns a t300 and doesn't yet know, you can force the fan to stay on and at 100% by holding the start and mode buttons until the led flashes two times.

Yes indeed. Handy tip and can delay the onset of the reduced FFB for a while.

I think this is enabled by default, at least on newer firmware versions.

Unfortunately, my T300 decided to give up the ghost around 2 years after buying it. It started off by disconnecting and reconnecting in the middle of a session (easily reproduced in ACC at Mount Panorama), then by losing all FFB until reconnecting it.

I think I got around 350 hours of use from it, which isn't too terrible - I got a USB adaptor to the T3PA pedals on PC, and they're still working fine (after a dab of oil to stop some squeaking).

The T300RS GT is still a decent wheel, though not worth the ~$700 AUD retail price anymore IMO.
