Thrustmaster – Official T500 RS Load Cell Mod Coming?

A first photo of an official Thrustmaster T500 RS load cell brake mod has surfaced.

Thrustmaster has recently-announced a new add-on rim for their T500 RS wheel, keeping up with the pace of innovation coming from the Fanatec camp and their ClubSport series.

While the T500 RS compares well to Fanatec’s flagship product, its pedal set lacks one major feature that Fanatec’s pedal sets offer – A load cell brake.

Crafty sim racers already added a load cell brake to the T500 RS pedal set but it seems like Thrustmaster is looking to offer an official mod as a first picture of it has surfaced on the web.

This web shop is the first outlet to offer the official mod that is apparently due to be released on May 21, selling for 89,99???. So far, there’s no official word from Thrustmaster on this product, it remains to be seen whether somebody spilled the beans too early or if this is a hoax.
