    Thats up to you mate, I am waiting to see in this Basher Board "thing" works and then probably get a usb sequential shifter, H pattern doesn't really worry me.

    OK makes sense now, I can't see why not, it would just be reverse engineering/wiring a ricmotech/bodin adapter. Or at least splicing the two leads together.

    What are your G27 pedals doing?

    The brakes come on for no reason
    I blow them out ever now and again
    And I'm worried it will happen in a important race

    You can clean the pots, not just blow them out, have you taken them apart to clean?

    Yes , I have also swapped over the clutch with the brake unit and put another spring inside the brake unit for more feel but every now and again the brake comes on and slows me down (its time to go ) .

    Hi Guys

    T3PA PRO I hadn't heard of before to be honest. It looks like the exact pedals from the T500 set. I have a T500 myself so am very familiar with the pedals. Looking at the two sets I'd say they are almost identical other than one is made of plastic and one all metal. Also the PRO will be able to be inverted if your interested in that.

    The brake does seem a little different and maybe better than the T500 though, my guess the same design will filter down to the T500, or we will see T500 become wheel only and buy pedals separate

    Supplier says they are due mid april but no pricing yet. Unfortunately with the way the Aussie Dollar has been my guess is these pedals will land at $350 - $400 which is a little rich although I can see why.

    I received my T 300 GTE plus shifter last Friday but didn't start using them till the following Monday .
    They took a couple of days to get on top of them . The power and feel is unbelievable the pedals are not as bad
    as I was expecting , the only down side is no clutch , lets face it how many times do you use it .
    The main bonus for me is the T300 has separate a port for the shifter in the wheel so I can use my head set at the same time .
    A great thanks to Motho for the price and service :thumbsup:

    Just a word of warning guys. My T300 wheel has an issue where it continually tries to self calibrate upon power up. This does not stop until the power is disconnected.

    By searching google, I have managed to find a workaround where I disconnect the power, rotate the wheel as far to the left as it will go, then re-connect power. This gets around the issue.

    I have read on some forums that there is a motor calibration tool that fixes the issue (only obtainable from Thrustmaster support). I have emailed them to see if it's possible to get a hold of it. I will let you know how I go.

    My T300 did the same @garyw61 . I could work around it but then the force feedback was failing as well. I've sent it back and am waiting on a replacement. It was GREAT while it lasted though

    Send Hess email, check your paperwork in box, I screened over mine again and saw it was 2 years when I was packing it up.
