Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Drive Racing Wheel and Pedals for Xbox and PC

Discover a new generation of racing simulation with the Thrustmaster T598, a high-performance racing wheel and pedal set designed for demanding sim racing enthusiasts.

Equipped with a Direct Axial Drive motor featuring axial flux technology, it delivers high-fidelity force feedback with 5 Nm of constant torque and the ability to temporarily increase torque by an additional 100%. Its HARMONY technology, Race Dash display and interchangeable 30 cm Sportcar wheel allow drivers to experience vehicle responses with exceptional precision.

Complete with the Raceline Pedals LTE metal pedal set, this racing system is compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC, offering a complete and upgradeable sim racing solution.

Direct Axial Drive Motor with Axial Flux Technology

The T598 introduces Thrustmaster's Direct Axial Drive technology, featuring an axial flux motor designed to transmit forces directly to the steering wheel. Unlike conventional mechanisms, this technology eliminates cogging, the rotational irregularities caused by magnetic interactions within the motor. The result is exceptionally smooth movement and detailed force feedback for a more precise feel of steering responses.

• Direct Axial Drive motor with axial flux technology.
• Direct Drive technology with no belts or gears.
• Zero Cogging design eliminates magnetic rotational irregularities.
• High-fidelity force feedback delivers precise, progressive sensations.
• Detailed reproduction of changes in traction and vehicle responses.
• Motor designed for demanding racing simulations.

5 Nm Constant Torque with Temporary Overshoot

The T598 motor delivers 5 Nm of constant torque, supported by an Overshoot function that can temporarily increase torque by up to 100% above its constant output. This additional power enhances intense driving effects, particularly during impacts, when driving over track curbs and during sudden changes in traction.

• 5 Nm of constant torque.
• Overshoot capability of +100% for temporary effects.
• Torque can momentarily reach up to 10 Nm under certain operating conditions.
• Advertised latency of just 5 ms.
• Rapid transmission of force variations.
• Precise reproduction of weight transfers, traction loss and track irregularities.

High-Frequency HARMONY Technology

HARMONY technology enhances force feedback by generating high-frequency torque effects. It allows drivers to feel subtle driving details, including road textures, rumble strips and tire squeal.

• Exclusive Thrustmaster HARMONY technology.
• Generation of high-frequency torque effects.
• Reproduction of road surface vibrations and textures.
• Enhanced sensation of rumble strips and traction loss.
• Detailed transmission of physics-based information generated by compatible games.

Race Dash Display with Customizable Settings

The T598 base features an integrated Race Dash display that allows users to adjust wheel settings directly and save different driving profiles. On PC, the display can also show key telemetry information from compatible games.

• Race Dash display integrated into the wheel base.
• More than 10 configurable settings.
• Ability to create and save custom settings profiles.
