Perfect replacements... You simply need to snip off the eyelet from the connectors. (See picture)

So I'm aware this wheel rim is only available officially if you buy the TS-PC Racer that comes with it. However, I acquired the rim online from someone who happened to be selling just that so I figured I'd pick it up for cheapo and use it on my TS-WX since they are basically the same base.
I noticed online that people with the TGT have no issues using it in it's full capacity with the advanced mode button mapping and LED lights, but for me in the USB controller settings the Advanced mode...

Guys, I'm doing a firmware update on my DD, V3 pedals and F1 wheel, and it is stuck showing the egg timer on the screen and a flashing 'CAL' message on the wheel - no instructions, buttons unresponsive, nothing
Any ideas?

Hi,
I was wondering if people had ideas for stickers for the centre of a wheel? For example, the centre of my T150 wheel has a PS4 logo.
I would like to change this. But I don't know where to find the right size stickers. For example, an Aston Martin sticker.
Thanks ..read more

Hi all,
I’m looking to upgrade my current G25 wheel. I know it’s old, but it’s served me well.
I’m wondering what people would recommend as an alternative. Moza seems to be a name that crops up, but I’m out of touch with it all.
I’d want to have a gearstick/ stick shift alongside the wheel as I like to race some of the classics. I currently have an old Playseats rig, so would want to be able to mount the gearstick on this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Boothen ..read more

Hi,
Appreciate any help or guidance, I’ve got a tr120 set up in an outdoor wooden garden office and I am considering RS mega plus motion
My main concern is that the office is primarily made of wood , 18mm wood base with laminate. I would be looking to add vibration dampening such as Euflex and or rubber/foam dampening to help.
Would the movement of the rig and vibration be too much or would it be ok?
Thanks for any help or insight ..read more

I was browsing the web to see if I could come up with a DIY buttkicker type device to put on my rig and saw that they use a 'transducer' rather than (as I expected) an old repurposed Sub-Woofer speaker.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the difference is, and whether a sub-woofer speaker would work?
Cheers

Hi all, this is something that people using VR may be interested in.
I am always on the lookout for things that will augment my experience in the racing, but with VR one of the biggest issues I had was the need to lift the VR headset when I want to adjust some settings. I have made button boxes with buttons on them that have a lot of patterns cut into them to give tactile cues as to what they do. However for some things like brake bias, ARB etc a simple solution that was very easy to...

Hi all, the title says it all really, I've bought a new rim hub for my wheel base (CSL elite) and even though it's from a well known manufacturer I can't get the buttons mapped as I'd like, i.e. a back button and a select button, I'm mainly playing automobilista 2 atm.
I can use my keyboard but as I race in vr I would like to map these actions to my wheel, my old rim could do it but the hub doesn't seem to be able to do it.
It can map buttons in the games wheel settings but I can't seem...
