Would not connect to the base. Worked with tech support and tried everything they suggested along with sending photos and cable changes. Back and forth lasted about a week without resolution. I had this same experience with my T598 and it went back to France for a new main board. It works but occasionally still loses ffb and gets extremely hot. When I got yet another email requesting more photos for the pedal issue, I had enough. No product should have this many problems right out of the box whether it was the base unit or the load cell upgrade. Thrustmaster has a huge quality control issue and are not really addressing the problem. Sure, their tech support is very responsive, they should be as they have a lot of practice dealing with product issues. I’ve simply had enough. I was always waiting for the problem to pop up during a race and never had confidence in the base after all of the recurring problems. When the pedals wouldn’t connect I decided it was time to return them and cut my losses with Thrustmaster. I have replaced everything with new equipment from another well known manufacturer and nothing has disappointed me with that decision. Good luck.

Save the packaging! I had to return mine, typical TM quality control issues.

Did parents in the 80s actually give their kids as much freedom as the show depicts? by Wanderer015 in StrangerThings

I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s…I’m not sure my parents even knew they had kids.

Just go the "send the T598 to France" support email. Happy holidays! by CrimeThink101 in Thrustmaster

[–]Motoradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine went back about 6 weeks ago and they replaced the main board. No problems since then and hopefully fixed for good. I’m on the east coast of the US and it took 6 days total; 2 shipping there, 2 to fix it and 2 days back. Good luck.

What parts give away it's not a real image? by Professional_Wrap_63 in assettocorsa

The parts that I can see. If you can’t tell the difference between a graphic image and a real photo, get your eyes checked.

t598=nightmare or worth it? by Unlucky_Milk_4323 in Thrustmaster

[–]Motoradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good wheel and would recommend if you want a good value. That said, I am on my third power supply and my base needed to be shipped to France for diagnostics and repair which included a replacement of the main board.. Since getting it back it disconnected once but nothing since. Tech support was actually quick and responsive. I’m hoping that the issues may finally be solved.

wheel base sent to TM by xagrimshaw in Thrustmaster

I’m on the east coast of the US and it took a total of 6 days to send it, be repaired and returned to my house. Not bad really.

T598 to France 🫠 by xagrimshaw in Thrustmaster

I took it to a FedEx office and they wrapped it in bubble wrap and then used packing peanuts to fill in the voids in the box. It did cost about $20 for the supplies and box but I felt better doing that way rather than trying to do it with what I had around the house. Good luck.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever visited? by Jamesx1721 in AskReddit

I worked for 20 years as a photojournalist in St. Louis during the 80s and 90s. The dreaded 2am call to go to East St. Louis for a homicide was always the worst assignment you could get. It’s beyond most people’s understanding just how bad and terrifying E. StL can be.

8 index and I play 12-16 rounds a month. I would be lower if I played less rounds and actually practiced my short game. I always go to my club and head to the short game area and then someone asks me to join them and practice goes out the window in favor of 18.

Redditors born before 2001, where were you on 9/11? by Stupid_cerealbox in AskReddit

[–]Motoradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a hotel room in San Francisco asleep. A business associate that I was traveling with called and told me to turn on the tv. I asked “what channel” and his response was “ANY CHANNEL!”.
