New Thrustmaster Wheel and Pedal Set for Xbox One - $99.99

Those of you who have wanted a wheel for Forza 5, but did not want to drop $400, your prayers have been answered.  Thrustmaster has announced an Xbox One compatible wheel that will cost $99.99.  It will be released on April 14.

It has 240 degrees of rotation and uses a bungee cord resistance system.  This sounds a lot like the M$ Racing Wheel that many of us own (or, at least in my case, previously owned).  The rim looks similar to the stock rim that came with my TX wheel.  Although I prefer the GTE add-on rim, I have warmed up slightly to the stock rim and would not hesitate to recommend it with a low budget set up like this.  The paddle shifters are actually quite good and the rim has a good, solid feel to it.

Nothing like the MS wheel at all. The MS wheel at least had a motor and ffb. No bungee cords or rubber bands for resistance at all. Now the pedals sucked and are probably on par with the hundred dollar thrustmasters.

Basher just releases the CPX Adapter for the TX wheel to Club Sport and CSR pedals. Since this lower priced wheel was just announced, I don't know if the CPX will work with it this wheel or not (I suspect it will, since Thrustmaster seems to be smart in their design). It's worth a question to Basher. The link is: http://www.basherboards.com/CPX
