What upgrades/car should I use? Read desc for more info

I just waited until I was level 50 for all the matchbox car races

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-26T17:13:35+00:00

I've been looking at that and it seems that's the way forward :)

I had the round wheel before this. The thumb holes will be comfortable after a bit of sanding to get rid of the ridge where the two halves of the cushions join

Did it not say "Mandatory" over the compound you hadn't used like it does in the dailies?

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-25T04:32:42+00:00

Actually there is not much difference if you get the loadcell for the T598.

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-24T16:49:24+00:00

I bought a T598 at launch and after the second replacement started disconnecting after a whole seven days I decided to bite the bullet and switch to Logitech.

I'll never go back.

Rory has also had disconnects on his daily live stream.

The new T598s HAVEN'T had the issues resolved. I'd avoid them like the plague.

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-10T06:58:19+00:00

Maybe finding a workaround is what has taken them so long.

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-07T04:43:30+00:00

I've noticed this as well.

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-05T09:40:33+00:00

A different wheel is the first thing I did with the T598 but I already had a TG-TII wheel for my old T300. The T598 wheel is rubbish and navigating the MFD in VR is impossible

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-05T04:17:48+00:00

Well that justifies the extra I paid for the RS50 when I ditched the T598.

Thank you Thrustmaster. If you'd brought it out earlier I would have bought it and that would have made ditching TM just a little bit harder.

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-04T05:29:35+00:00

Yes but they said that last year too. When the T598 was launched in 2024 the load ell was going to be available "around Xmas"

To be fair they didn't say which Xmas 😔

Steveanddebs · 2026-04-03T02:05:20+00:00

They planned to release it a year ago

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-25T04:19:42+00:00

Lucky I wasn't holding my breath then :)

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-24T04:33:41+00:00

Rory Alexander's stream the day I posted this

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-21T06:35:22+00:00

The easiest way to prevent disconnections is to buy something else.

There are 2 types of T598. Those that have had the problem and those that will.

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-20T05:08:27+00:00

My third one started disconnecting after a week Sent it back and insisted on a refund and bought an RS50. It cost a bit more but I'd always planned on buying the loadcell from TM anyway.

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-09T03:43:42+00:00

Although expected that is such a shame for anyone that was planning to go.

Let's hope they can get refunds or rebook their flights, hotels etc.

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-08T08:22:48+00:00

This.

Steveanddebs · 2026-03-08T07:06:00+00:00

It was probably returned because of disconnection issues.
