PC gaming accessory maker Trustmaster announces the TS-PC Racer-- a racing game controller featuring an "open wheel" design together with a brushless 40W motor featuring embedded cooling.
According to the company the motor generates "dynamic and powerful effects," with exceptional velocity manifested in all racing conditions, from long stall curves (STALL mode) to zigzags (DYNAMIC mode). The aforementioned embedded cooling ensures the motor maintains performance levels throughout quick successions of power demands with no overheating, as well as 50% more dynamic response and 4 times greater stall force compared with other Thrustmaster wheels.
Another addition is a new FOC (Field Oriented Control) algorithm controlling the HEART (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system. In a few words, this ensures the motor responds swiftly to increased torque requirements, offsetting and preventing power losses. A final feature is an external TURBO power supply designed to provide continuous 40W power within a finless design.
Moving to the actual wheel, the realistic design features 6 buttons in the central area, a 3-position rotary selector with a push function, suede coverings on the grips, metal faceplate, and aluminium wheel-mounted sequential paddle shifters. Users can adjust the wheel rotation angle between 270- and 1080-degrees for optimal inertia.
The TS-PC Racer is compatible with the full Thrustmaster racing ecosystem, as well as other USB pedal sets equipped with a DB9 connector. It is available from December 2016.
