THRUSTMASTER TS-XW VS THRUSTMASTER TX-RW WHEEL BASES

[jarmin0123 17]

Hello, I was thinking of buying a new wheel set up, want to pay about £650 for xbox one. I was thinking of getting the Thrustmaster TX wheel, then change the wheel for the Ferrari wheel add on and buy the new pedals that have come out.

I have seen you can get 2 different wheel bases but there is quite a bit of price difference between the two, can someone please help and tell me what the difference is between the 2 wheel bases as I am not very good with all this wheel stuff and just gradually learning about it.

 

Thank you

The TS-XW is the top end thrustmaster wheel, has external power supply, better motor and still uses the eco system. The standard cheaper TX is still a great wheel too though. I would take either over Fanatec, I felt no difference on the standard wheels until you get to Direct drive. Also there is more moddable rim support and cheaper stuff for thrustmaster.  

If you play a lot and for long periods get the TS XW, if your more casual get the TX.

Thanks pal, I like to play it a lot but I can see that I can get the Thrustmaster TX wheel and base for £300 then could but the f1 wheel add on for £150 and better pedals about £160 for the ones that have just come out so just over £600 in total where as the TS XW is about £630 for wheel base and cheapy pedals and then would still need to pay £150 for the f1 wheel ( I really want the f1 wheel lol) and then the £160 on the pedals taking it just short of £1000 which for me seems just a bit too much if that makes sense. If there isn't much difference I think I will get the cheaper option, I was only considering the more expensive one if there was a world of difference, if anyone else has an opinion please put it in.

 

Thanks so much Tom for you advice that has helped as well.

@jarmin0123 No problem. The standard cheaper TX base that you posted is a great base. You will be happy. Also if you ever decide to upgrade in the future all the thrustmaster eco system is compatible. The pedals and wheel are worth spending the money over than the base. Have fun
