Why Is Hot Wheels Race Off Shutting Down
Melisa Niederhaus
Fairly new Podium wheel has been working great until recently. It's been shutting down after about 45 minutes of racing. Turns back on no problems, start racing, shuts down again after 20 minutes. Thought the power supply might be getting over heated but its barely warm to the touch. This is a new issue, just popped up in the last couple of days.

Ok, so I DO think I overheated the power supply causing the Podium DD1 to shut down. I am not totally convinced but I relocated the power supply and put a fan on it. I haven't had the issue resurface...yet, fingers crossed. Something to be aware of.
I'm still getting these random shutdowns in the middle of a race. Pretty frustrating. I might be able to play for 45 minutes to an hour, perhaps a little longer but not much. I start from zero again once I give it some time. If I try to boot right back up it disconnects again in 15 -20 minutes. I've relocated my power supply so it has adequate ventilation. Does anyone have anhy ideas what's causing this?? I just bought this Podium F1 system new and got it a few days before Christmas. No way this should be happening with a $1300 wheel system.

Hey everybody, just thought I would pick some of the experienced minds on a problem I'm having. This is the first wheel I've ever bought, so I don't know much about the common issues or how to resolve them.
My wheel is less than a week old for reference. When I'm playing Forza 6, the throttle meter in game is always fluctuating between 80-100% with WOT. I updated the firmware and still had the same problem. So I popped in project cars and everything seemed to be working great, except the wheel shuts down on me periodically while I'm racing.
I figured it may be due to overheating but the wheel base does not feel that warm at all when it shuts down. After about 5 min of being off, it starts to come to life little by little. The mode and power light start to flash and wheel jumps slightly. It does this for about another 5 minutes before coming back on completely. I also had a very squeaky gas pedal after day 2.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, I think you have a bad wheel base. When I had to RMA my first TX, Thrustmaster sent me a replacement quickly and asked me to cut the cord for the defective one and send them a picture of it with a piece of paper listing my name and the date. I would think they would do the same procedure for you.
When I contacted thrustmaster, I was met by an extremely unprofessional French woman named Andrea. She basically stated that I needed to power cycle the unit and my xbox and that would fix everything. When I explained I tried that already, she said to contact the retailer. When I asked about the squeaky gas pedal, she said I needed to grease it. Grease a 2 day old plastic pedal? And where would I do that? I would have to take it apart to find the contact point. I asked to speak with someone else and she said there is nobody else, that if I called back, I would always get her on the phone. It was a ridiculous phone conversation.
So the place I bought it from is closed until the 7th as they are observing a holiday, I suppose I'll just wait until then and deal with the shutting down....which means no online racing. This is beginning to feel like a bad experience with thrustmaster already and I was hopeful that it would be the opposite. Is there any way to deal with thrustmaster directly to sort this issue out?
So I took your advice and attempted to email thrustmaster. In order to do so, you must register with their website, not a problem. Then you have to choose your platform and product, big problem. I tried every combination of product on every platform and no matter what I choose, it says there is an error: product selection is invalid. Please go back and fix the error specified.
Since 2007, Inside Sim Racing has been the number one show dedicated to the world of simulated motorsports. Every episode, we will bring you stories from a variety of genres in the world of Simulated Racing.
But this year would be different. The race was moved from Laughlin, NV to a shorter course that lies on private property in Primm Nevada. A track that I know well and was excited to shoot once again.
After getting some cool drone shots of the scenery, we moved on to our next attraction, the Spooky Cave. What a cool hidden spot. The further into the cave you got, the tighter and darker it was. You can go up to the surface via some steep climbs with the assistance of pre-placed climbing ropes. It was a really cool experience and I urge anyone doing the trail to stop and explore it. After the Spooky Cave, we headed to Baker Ca. to get fuel and food. This section of the trail was rocky and slow, then fast and tight through a field of Joshua Trees. Along the way, we stopped at the Travelers Monument to pay our respects, then jetted across a lakebed to a paved road that led to Baker. Once we got into town, JD decided that his exhaust was not going to withstand much more abuse and decided to take highway the rest of the way to Primm. With the three of us left, we got back on the trail to our next stop which was the famous Mojave Trail sign in box. We signed in and roamed around for a minute taking in the beauty of the desert and seeing the kooky things people leave at this pit stop. By this time, it was late afternoon so we hurried as best we could to the next spot which was this rad whoop section that stretched for 10+ miles. We arrived just in time for some really cool golden hour photos and clips of Justin and Collin smashing through the whoops.
The next morning, we met up with Darren to get a game plan for the day, and then met him out in Dumont early that afternoon. The conditions were not ideal for shooting. It was super windy, and we were getting sandblasted all afternoon, but we were willing to bear through it and got some really cool stuff of Darren shooting flames, railing dunes, smashing whoops, and hitting big jumps.
That 1450 pro truck is one hell of a machine. The dunes were also a great test for the 703 wheels that I had mounted. We went down to 12 psi in the tires and the wheels gripped that bead like a Pitbull grips his favorite toy. The wheels gave me all of the confidence to push the truck harder and harder throughout the day.
This trail would be shorter than our trip in, but it was definitely just as used as the Mojave trail, full of chop and tight, technical sections. The longest section of this trail however, was powerline road, a long straight of giant rollers and epic views. We made sure to stop in this section to admire the beauty around us and get more drone shots of the trucks driving along the trail. As we approached the highway between Baker and Dumont, we decided that if we wanted to make it to Calico before sunset, we had better get off the trail and on to pavement. Once again, we stopped in Baker for gas and food. JD was now having wheel bearing issues, so we took the opportunity to address that while we were there.
On to Calico Ghost Town! What a cool slice of history. If you can get there in time, there are all kinds of cool things to do like train rides, mine tours, gold panning, and gun fight shows. After speed walking through Calico, we decided to do a little bit of night running through some tight trails just outside of the Ghost Town. We got to test out our lighting systems and the boys hit a good size jump to cap off the weekend.

Picture any car under acceleration. What happens? Easy: The front wheels unload and the rear wheels become more heavily loaded due to weight transfer. In extreme cases, such as drag racing, the front wheels may actually leave the ground.
If they should begin to slip, however, acceleration is reduced, weight begins to transfer back to the front, and traction can only be regained by reducing the torque applied to the wheels. This is why drag racers try not to spin their tires off the line. You often see a driver shut down completely if he happens to smoke the tires, knowing that his race is hopeless.
In the case of the front-driver, when acceleration causes weight to transfer off the front tires, further acceleration is limited. But even if a tire loses traction, the resulting reduction in acceleration tends to reduce weight transfer, putting weight back on the front wheels and reestablishing their traction capabilities. The problem self-corrects. For this reason, front-wheel-drive cars are generally easier to launch and less sensitive to driver technique than their rear-drive counterparts.
Nose-heavy rear-wheel-drive cars face the same problems, but mid-engined or rear-engined cars can benefit from the forward weight transfer, achieving a good balance of load between the front and rear wheels, so that all four tires contribute to braking.
Under steady-state cornering forces, weight transfers from the inside to the outside tires, affecting front- and rear-drive cars similarly. The essence of suspension tuning is to try to balance the loads on the four tires, and to keep each of the tires pointing in the right direction.
