I have been looking for a wheel for the past year and a half or so for my PC, as I wanted to get into sim racing.I was trying to decide between two other wheels before finally deciding on the T300RS GT wheel.I will be breaking the review down into the three individual components, the T300 wheel base, the T-3PA GT Pedal Set & the GT wheel which came in the package.T300 Servo Base:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-My first impression of the servo base was that it was a solid & well built.The T300 servo base does not come with an external power supply. In lieu of an external power supply, the T300 has a built in power supply, along with a cooling fan. There is a power cable, with a strange four tubular connections that come in the package. I am not sure if this electrical cable is proprietary to thrustmaster or if one is readily available at home depot or other home improvement store.The T300 has a dual belt force feed back system. This makes for a smoother, less noisy force feedback experience, as compared to those with gear driven system. From what I have experienced so far, the force feedback is very good. The force feedback not only let's you feel the "weight" of the race car, but also the bumps on the track, that you would otherwise not feel without any sort of force feedback.The package also came with a mounting clamp, should you want to clamp the wheel servo to a desk. It also has mounting holes, should you want to mount the wheel servo on a sim rig, although you would have to source the screws, as thrustmaster does not include screws for this purpose. The desk clamp is a bit finicky to get on, but once on, it holds the wheel servo securely to the desk without the servo wiggling/moving.T-3PA GT Pedal Set=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=The T-3PA GT pedal set which comes in this package is also very solidly built.The pedals have thick plastic arms and an internal metal structure, while the pedal themselves are made from a solid piece of brushed metal. Again, the pedal set that comes in the package has mounting holes on the bottom, should you want to mount them in a sim rig.The pedals are heavy enough to where they do not move around on a plastic mat, which I have set under my computer desk. The only time the pedals move is if I happen to jam on the brake or accelerator suddenly.The pedals themselves feel great underneath your feet. Doesn't take a lot of force to even start braking or accelerating, but these settings can be adjusted in the thrustmaster control panel and in individual sim settings.GT Wheel-=-=-=-=-=The wheel that comes in the package is the GT edition wheel rim. The wheel is made of metal in the middle, where the electronics are housed) encased in rubber around the rim. The shifter is made from either steel or brushed aluminum. Again the rim is solidly made.The rim has thirteen buttons, all configurable in whatever sim you like to play. Unfortunately, thrustmaster does not have an app to where you can program your buttons to the way you like them like logitech does.Conclusion=-=-=-=-=-=Since I bought the T300RS GT edition, it has increased my enjoyment of sim racing as well as truck simulator (Yes I am a virtual trucker). I still ask myself how did I survive playing racing/driving sims on my PC with an xbox controller.If you are looking for a good beginner/intermediate wheel for the sim racer and you have the budget, go with the T300RS GT edition. You will not be disappointed, I sure wasn't.
