5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Wheel and Pedals but don't go for the £50 advertised stand
This is possibly the very best accessory I have bought ever. I thought I was going to be disappointed by the lack of Force Feedback but it really isn't something I miss at all. The resistance band on the pedals is incredibly effective and the action of the wheel is very responsive.The Manual and features:The manual is lacking as is the case so often these days. While it shows the dial for righthand side of the wheel it fails totally to explain what it is, why it's there, what it does. I've had the wheel several weeks now and apart from changing the camera settings on Forza I fail to see its purpose. It appears to be pretty much redundant which is a great pity.Tip 1 - The manual also fails spectacularly to explain that the "Engine Start" button doesn't start the engine (unless you have a game that will let you programme it" but is a multidirectional button that functions as the D-Pad from the X-Box controller. It isn't intuitive at all and I stumbled across it by accident. Pressing the edges of the button will move the cursor about for selections and so on.Tip 2- Having just said how bad the manual is my next tip is carefully read the section about the sensitivity setting adjustment. You will need to do this each time you plug the unit in which is one of the very few downsides I have found. Doing the sensitivity adjustment though will make a huge difference to performance. Each time you press the relevant buttons and pull on the two metal flappy paddles the light on the right of the wheel base will flash a number of times. The manual reveals how many for each level. I have found 3 flashes to be the best for Forza 6. The second downside of this pedal is the site of the light. It is just in the wrong place and is obscured by the wheel meaning you have to bend at an odd angle to see the number of flashes. You only need do it once per session though so it's not a major flaw by any means.The Quality:The quality of the unit is really very good indeed. It's particularly evident where the table locking bolt fits under the wheel. Normally this sort of fixing is flaky at best but on the Spyder 458 wheel is look less substantial than it actually is and I see no reason other than badly abusing it to cause this socket to fail.The table lock itself is a real plus and very easy to use. This is my second tip of sorts that you will need a table or solid surface to use this wheel. There is no way it could be used effectively without locking it down. but as I state above the mechanism is excellent.The Stand:This brings me to my last point and it is a really important one. To date Bolo continue to advertise "The Ultimate Steering Wheel Stand in Black - suitable for Logitech, Xbox, Madcatz and Thrustmaster" as being a perfect partner for this wheel. IT ABSOLUTELY ISN"T COMPATIBLE!!!I cannot emphasise this point enough. It will cause huge disappointment when after half an hour struggling to put it together you find that the locking mechanism for the pedals doesn't come anywhere close to fitting. The stand claims to be compatible with the Thrustmaster 458 wheel and maybe it is, but it most certainly isn't compatible with the 2015 release of this wheel set. The 458 Spyder has a different design for the pedals and the base is too large for the stand lock.I sent it back and did eventually get a refund but it took some time and they initially wanted me to do the running around posting the stand back to them. Being a wheelchair user and this being quite a heavy piece of kit there was no way I could have done it. They were happy to collect it though after asking but the point is that it shouldn't have happened in the first place.I have no idea why Bolo persist in advertising them together but I will say it again The Ultimate Steering Wheel Stand in Black - suitable for Logitech, Xbox, Madcatz and Thrustmaster WITH THE Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel (Xbox One)Instead I paid a bit more and got the "Wheel Stand Pro -Stand for Logitech wheels and Thrustmaster Ferrari F458" which is far, far more effective and is far, far, far better built in my opinion. It is also far easier to collapse to store so do give it a look and save some more pennies to get the wheel and the stand together.I've given the wheel 5 stars because that setting is for "I Love It" and I do. However I would mark it down on the few points I mentioned above. They are mainly about the poor manual and as such can be overcome, but despite Mr Cameron thinking we are all rolling in cash these days I still think that £65 is a lot of money. For younger readers when you reach the age where you need to feed yourself and pay the bills you will appreciate the truth of what I say 😀. I just think at £65 which is already a reduced price, the manual ought to be right. It should be clear in all languages and should be checked for errors. With the internet giving unlimited access to the world pretty much, there is little reason that companies cannot get contacts in other countries to translate and check for errors. It's really not a big ask these days.Enough negativity though. I think I have kicked Bolo and Thrustmaster enough for shortcomings. In defence of both though Bolo delivered super quick and with a smile from the driver (always a plus to see happy people) and Thrustmaster have delivered a superb piece of kit in the form of the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel (Xbox One). One very, very happy customer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Took a bit of setting up but really good for the price
I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews that I could have a nightmare trying to configure the wheel. The instructions really arent very good and I did end up watching a couple of youtube videos but once i figured it out, it wasn't too bad. Once operational, it works really well, has a good feel and you don't really notice the lack of force feedback. I did however do something rather silly. A bolt comes with the unit which goes into the underside of the wheel base to clamp it down. The stand that I bought didn't need this to be used, but to keep it safe I thought I would screw it in place. However, i wound it in too far. I didn't know this, but the wheel would not work properly. It would only turn in one direction and with some delay. I took the unit apart and realised that the bolt had gone in too far and dislodged the sensor inside which picks up the rotation of the wheel. I was then able to fix this and put it back together. Then worked perfectly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Superb
Absolutely fantastic, easy set up. Kids love it
1.0 out of 5 stars Great wheel, but keeps breaking
First the good; it looks great, is responsive and really improved the experience of any driving game (normally F1-2020 and Forza Horizon).......when it worked....Now the bad; after 3 months, without any previous degradation in performance, the wheel developed a 'twitch' where it became unable to hold the car in a straight line. Online support did proffer some advice, but this did not resolve the issue. Bolo to their credit were great and and replaced the wheel with no problems.The replacement worked fine for.....you've guessed it.....3 months when the same problem has arisen, only this time I have returned the wheel for a refund rather than a replacement as this problem is too much of a coincidence to risk getting the same type of wheel again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great wheel
After having listened to a few clips on you tube, I have now found out if you unplug the USB lead and leave it a few seconds, when you plug it back in it goes into set up mode and it aligns everything, as before I could not get the wheel to stay in the middle (it was like driving my own car with the steering wheel miss aligned which I would hate) I just had a job keeping it on the track but now but now I have no problems
5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
No force feedback but great for racing. Super quick delivery.

Ótimo qualidade do produto
Volante Ferrari Xbox serie X
A pesar que aún no lo hemos usado mucho, se ve de buena calidad y funciona. A los pedales les falta sujección al suelo para usarlo con niños. Calidad precio inmejorable. Tal cual las fotos del anuncio.
Mükemmel
