Thrustmaster TX Servo Base - Force Feedback Wheel base for Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One / Windows

Product Information

Now, you know that certain gaming steering wheels are made for specific platforms and consoles. Xbox has its dedicated version – and so do the PS4 and PS5. However, this racing wheel base, in particular, stands out as ecosystem-ready, compatible with the Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Series X. So, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC platforms are all viable for the utilization of the Thrustmaster TX. Another thing worth mentioning here is the upgradeable firmware. By installing Thrustmaster drivers, you’ll also get access to the latest firmware version. When it comes to gaming on a PC, the upgradeable firmware ensures the best possible experience. This base allows your wheel to rotate up to 900°, which is a must in any good sim racing setup (although the T300 base does offer 1080°). The rotation angle is also fully adjustable, although you’ll likely be keeping it at the maximum setting.

If you’re already firmly in the Thrustmaster ecosystem, and if you already own one of the aforementioned wheel bases and are looking for more, then we’d suggest taking a look at the T818 above. Consider Your Options

While a lot of the base is made out of a sturdy plastic material, the parts that will be under stress are made of metal, providing durability and excellent overall feel. As with all the bases on this list, the T300 is compatible with all Thrustmaster rims. I have the T300RS GT edition, and it’s been my daily driver for a few years now with no complaints!

Innovation By Thrustmaster There are some things you must do to make your Thrustmaster TX work and achieve its PC compatibility. Unbox the TX racing wheel servo and the power cord, plug it into the Xbox platform of your choice (or your PC), decide what you’d like to use – Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On or Ferrari GTE wheel, for example – and plug in the power cord (it works with 220-240 V electric current). And even though it's a serious performer, it doesn't get particularly noisy, even with a sizeable looking vent on the rear. You hear some air whoosing but that's about it apart from the sound of the motor when you turn. Understandably, some of these terms might scare some of you – but don’t worry. Even though this wheel is a piece of the finest technology in its branch, it’ll take you just a few seconds to set it up.

It's also very heavy, but then this is where all the magic happens. Inside you find a brushless motor with its own special cooling system which Thrustmaster says is there to support "many hours" of e-racing. It gets a little warm, but nothing you'd ever say is hot, so it's doing its job. Up next we have Thrustmaster’s newest product, the direct drive T818 wheel base. This is a difficult wheel base to get your hands on at the moment, and given it is quite new, there is the possibility that a lot could change with this base in the future. However, it’s made our list as many within the Thrustmaster ecosystem have been waiting a long time for a direct drive option. It looks great and feels great, and it just so happens to be great to use too. I've driven a few racing cars over the years and none of them had a wheel this good. It's very comfortable to use for extended periods. Alcantara is better than leather in this situation and the TS-XW benefits from that Sparco license in spades. The wheel is perfectly proportioned so you're never stretching your fingers to shift up or down. A constant force will keep the same level in time. When a game decides to apply a force of x% of what the wheel can do, the "Constant" will keep that force at the same level.

Warning

The TX Servo Base Racing Wheel, a standalone version of the official wheel base for Xbox One of its acclaimed TX Racing Wheel.

I've always been a fan of racing games in the arcade, and bringing the experience home is a childhood dream come true. I only recently made enough space for a desk big enough to attach racing wheels and have been searching for the perfect set. Usually, the quality of the wheel doesn't affect my enjoyment of the simulation experience. Still, the TX leather edition felt different when unboxed, giving the impression that this would be somewhat more intense and serious. Example: A periodic effect gives the shaking effect on the wheel. At high frequency, you will feel it rumble... but in some cases very low frequency are used to create crash effects where the wheel first turns fully to the left, then to the right and then to the left again, before stopping. Of course, that depends on what the game developers decide.Usually, when something’s off or your wheel feels clunky, it’s often a problem with the racing wheel base as the foundation of your setup. But Thrustmaster isn’t one of those wheels that’ll make you feel robbed of a luxurious experience. Getting comfy is important, though. The TS-XW can be either mounted to a table with the included clamp, or screwed directly to the mounting points on a racing chair. I'm still waiting for my new chair so I used the clamp. It's not an ideal setup, though, but the clamp does at least hold the wheel nice and firmly to the table. Build quality is just as important as any other factor when choosing a wheel base. A metal construction would be preferable, but you will rarely find wheel bases made entirely of metal (outside of direct drive options). More often than not, it will be of a sturdy plastic design on the outside, but it should be strong and well put together.
