From the pics, i have to say it looks very similar to my B16L-SC but at half weight? It’s price is definitely amazing and for sure i would go for it if hadn’t bought 4 months ago the Ascher. I could have saved a couple of hundred euros. Anyway its great to see that new products come to the market using the sc wireless tech.
Just also to confirm that the wireless in my B16L-SC has been working flawlessly and seamlessly with the SC pro. Always at 100% strength connection and always registering keys without any latency. Wireless technology is a must.
morpwr i am sure you are going to love it and please share your thoughts once you get it.
Wow!
Looks nice!
Wheel looks just like the OMP Superquadro but if it’s a knock-off like the Fanatec GT Sport wheel, then it’s no good for DD motor. I had the Fanatec wheel and it has quite a bit of flex to it that just doesn’t feel good against high torque forces.
I’ve been using a Motamec 320mm d-shaped on a SRC GT1 plate for many years now, on the OSW before and on the Sport now, never had any hint of flex whatsoever.
Finally someone understands it! No 3d printed crap but full alu casing, magnetic shifters, premium buttons, for an honest price. Thanks for posting this, no brainer, immediately ordered! Pics will follow!
I don’t think his next batch will be this inexpensive.
I can’t possibly see how he is making a profit. Maybe he isn’t on this batch?
One thing for sure is it will be top quality!!
Tomo will not sell junk!!
Would be nice to know compatibility with other rims besides Momo Mod 30.
Of may be Tomo can post 1:1 buttonbox pdf template so anyone can print and check fit against specific rim.
Well I got screwed on the wheel because it didn’t get delivered but the button box is top quality. Very happy so far. Be nice if I had the rim to use it. That isn’t his fault though.
Yes because the rim is bigger is my guess. Not yet but I will when I get it together. Especially for the money im not disappointed at all. The button box alone could sell for what he gets.
Very nice price, it looks essentially like copy of Ascher’s B16L-SC.
Questioning myself after placing order, is it just to help unloading batch of getting obsolete wireless modules?
From comparison in the pics that Greg over at iRacing just posted it definitely is not an exact copy of the Ascher.
I did ask Tomo and he said the mounting pattern for the shifters is the same as the Asher. So if you like Martin’s shifters better it would be an easy swap.
Anybody know if the old Kyle shifters are the same mounting patterns as the Aschers?
Wow, is Martin’s plate really that much bigger?
Wondering if that creates issues mounting other rims otherwise compatible with B16L.
Will know next week when it arrives.
BTW, on web site Ascher’s plate look different from pictured. I think it’s M model, not L.
The Martin plate in the pic might be the earlier design. So hard to keep up with everything these days!
Yeah be sure to let me know what you think.
I want one really bad, but I also have reservation on the VRS wheel and not much $$.
Just my luck I order a wheel from Tomo and a few days later the VRS is ready for payment! LOL
Andrew you are right Tomo’s plate is quite similar to B16L but smaller which explains as well its lightness, 300gr instead of 700gr of Martin’s. That maybe of course play a role in its pricing as well. Being lighter is definitely an advantage but puts a question mark on its rigidity. However since its all aluminum i doubt there is going to be any such issue. One more thing i realized when i got the B16L is that i had to change drastically the ffb settings as the additional 700gr gave a very different and sluggish feeling compared to having no button box at all. Being so much lighter in weight must definitely be a plus.
Also i believe you should be ok with different wheels as long they are a bit curved as actually there is a lot of space between the buttons and the wheel in B16L. See the pic
First impressions from last nights testing in AMS2 is this is a very nice wheel. Rim looks very similar maybe the same as the Simracing coach wheel its replacing. The wireless has the highest reception of any wheel I have so that works great. Constant 80 no matter where its turned. I can only say I have zero complaints and love the wheel. This is exactly the kind of wheels we need to make DD more attractive to new comers. Sure super expensive wheels have a place but this is still a super high quality piece for the money. Great job Tomo!!!
That isn’t his fault though.
