This article covers Thrustmaster スラストマスター ステアリングコントローラー用 Quick Release クイックリリース.
Overview
The Thrustmaster TQR001 Quick Release is an affordable accessory that lets you swap steering wheels on compatible Thrustmaster wheel bases without any tools. Made from high-impact and heat-resistant PLA+ resin, it weighs only 15 grams, so it won't unbalance your rig or add unnecessary load to the base motor. This tool-free design is perfect for sim racers who want to switch between different wheel rims quickly during a session. It works with the T300, T300RS, T500, T500RS, T-GT, TS-PC, and TS-XW bases. Simply push the quick release onto the base, then attach your preferred rim. No screws, no wrenches – just click and go.

Connectivity & Compatibility
The TQR001 is a mechanical adapter that sits between the Thrustmaster wheel base and the rim. It does not contain any electronics – it's purely mechanical. To use it, first remove the original rim from the base, press the quick release onto the base spline, then mount the new rim on top. The connection uses the same spline pattern as the original Thrustmaster mounting system, so it works with any rim that has the standard Thrustmaster bolt pattern. No data or power connections are involved.
Product Info
Released around 2023 as a third-party accessory, the TQR001 offers a cost-effective alternative to Thrustmaster's own quick release kit, which can cost over ¥5,000. At around ¥1,290, it's a budget-friendly upgrade. Warranty typically comes from the seller (often 30 days). The package contains only the plastic bracket. You can purchase it on at this link. Market positioning: entry-level accessory with excellent value for sim racers who want quick-swap capability without spending a premium.
Best Use Cases
Sim racers with multiple rims – Quickly swap between a round GT rim and a Formula-style rim for different racing disciplines. Perfect for iRacing, Assetto Corsa, or rFactor 2. Budget-conscious enthusiasts – Get the convenience of a quick release for a fraction of the price of official Thrustmaster or aftermarket metal units. * Casual users who want tidy storage – Detach the wheel when not in use to free up desk space and reduce dust build-up on the base.
