T248

A few years on their T248 with zero issues; it still looks new apart from slight pedal wear.

Upgraded from a T248 to a Moza R3 and recommends saving for the R3 instead.

Replaced their G923 with a T248 after a problem with the Logitech.

Owns both and would pick the T248 over the G923 for its FFB customization.

Started on a T248 but it felt so plasticky that the G923 they moved to is way better.

Got a near-new T248 for 100 and finds it good once the pedals are modded.

Tried the T248 long enough to feel how much better it is than a G29.

Has had their Thrustmaster T248 for over a year and 300–500 hours with zero problems; needed lots of tuning for good drifting force feedback.

Never thought their T248 was weak, but the clank, loud noise and gear resistance were bothersome next to direct drive.

Loved their used Thrustmaster T248 as a first wheel.

Had a T248 and upgraded to Simagic; says the Thrustmaster is a toy compared with even a budget direct drive wheel.

Used the T248 before upgrading to a MOZA R5 last year. Found it fairly quiet apart from the shifters, but says direct drive turns the wheel much faster, making drifting and catching oversteer easier. Rates its brake pedal as its one advantage over the MOZA bundle.

“The T248 isn't too loud other than the shifters, it's a lot closer to the direct drive bases in terms of sound than it is to the Logitech G29”

Uses a T248 bundle on a foldable cockpit as a beginner setup. The wheel failed early: it stopped calibrating and the throttle read 100%, after an earlier fix of a grounding wire inside the base only lasted a couple of months.

“It will no longer calibrate the wheel and the throttle was constantly at 100%. I had a problem like this before where a wire inside the wheelbase was grounding the circuit out”
