They’re ready to respond to race bundle Also PlayStation compatible you missed that.
can you make a review of the hori racing wheel apex pls
The G29 WILL FAIL in less than a month. Nobody knows how to fix it. Find something else.
would you recommend the pxn v99 bundle
For anyone starting, just get a used G27 or a new G29 on a good deal for peace of mind. Forget the best felling and the more realistic option, its more than enough to have massive amounts of fun and learn all you need. Most starters will usually stop racing after a week or two, as it's not as easy to go fast as clean as it may seem, and lots of practice is required. Put some hours on a couple of sims, then decide if you want to go a step above on quality
Unless you live in a housing complex. I had a G29, and it was extremely loud because of the plastic wheels. In the end the motors fried themselves not even 1 year into operation.
I have a T300RS now which I think is miles better around the same price where the G29 was when new.
My only counterpoint to that is that, if you are coming to sim racing as a driving enthusiast, the lack of real quality feel from those wheels make push you out of the hobby quickly since it doesn't provide a good level of immersion.
@@thatdixierastaI would like to pose a counterpoint for your comment as well... (well not a counterpoint just and thought before your comment) That most entry level drivers would need a feel for sim racing and should consider trying out cheapers wheels like the G923. BUT, at time goes we've seen these DD wheels and bases become cheaper and cheaper every year.
I would recommend beginners get a G923 first and use it for a while until the DD wheel market gets saturated and DD wheels are more affordable.
Or you can go ahead and skip if it's immersion you're looking for. Just know, you are listening to the opinions of sim racers who put a lot of money into the hobby... doesn't necessarily mean you will have the same level of expectations as them.
I'm new into simracing and decided to go with a G29, which was on a pretty decent sale. It may not be the most realistic option out there, but it ended up costing me half of what it would've been for the Fanatech bundle. I'm really not sure how much I'm going to be simracing, so I think it's a pretty good choice. Also, I think that just having a wheel, pedals and a touch of force feedback is gonna make playing racing games a lot more fun.
Problem in our Area. They sell it like brand new price. They don't know about depreciation.
A good sim racing setup is definitely up there on my hypothetical “first toy to buy if I ever get rich” list alongside one of those real-life seamoths that can go down to like 200m below sea level.
Only just found your channel - the videos sound and looks really, really good. Keep up the good work! Just one thing: including chapter raises the user experience a little. Looking forward to further videos :)
I think it's good to keep in mind that sim racing gear, at least the entry level stuff, always seems to get good black friday deals
This^^
I got a Logitech G920 over $100 off last Black Friday. I’ve since put in about 160 hours and don’t regret a thing!
These videos are always so helpful, thanks!
Great to hear, thanks for watching :)
Great video as always oc racing 👍
That Fanatec bundle for $400 is an insanely good deal. Thrustmaster is still selling the TS-PC racer wheel base alone for $400...
Yo, I already have a simulator of my own, but I would love to see a review on the new Moza R3, Specially because you and SRG make good reviews with plenty of details❤😂
I’ll see what I can do 👍
For the first time wheel owners I say that the Logitech g29 is the only one I've ever had. I've had 3 or 4 of them over a decade but because I've never tried a direct drive I don't know what I'm missing. I have a great time with my g29 and it feels like driving to me. The force feedback is substantial enough to feel real and combined with a Playseat entry level seat and pedal mount set up and a PS4 or PS5 that is as close to real racing as I need. If money is no issue in the future I would spend $20,000 and go crazy on it but there is no need to drool over other set ups. For a total of about $1,300 you can have a really great time.
I would love to see a video on the Asetek SimSports La Prima Bundle, as it apparently has really good FFB and a game changing QR system.
I would love to review it but they've never reached out nor responded to my inquiries :/
@@OCRacing Perhaps it’s time to liquidate some assets and use some of that sweet simracing gear money
fr tho this helped so much im going with the fanatec dd wheel (if you plan on getting this you can get it for 199.95 same dd wheel base but cheaper if you configure setup and swap it to that) have fun racing thank you
From cheapest to more expensive:
1. Used Driving Force GT
2. Used G29/G290
3. Used T300 with pro pedals
Then it isn't that much budget anymore and starts to get expensive.
It is possible to find TS sets at 350/400 euros .... much more valid than the T300 😉
Your better off saving up. Go pick up cans do whatever..Go ask all your neighbors if they have anything you can do for money
@@THESHADOW97139 With the Moza R3 bundle coming out at about $400 USD, I'd say that might not be the best option at that pricepoint anymore
@@smallbutdeadly931 Indeed, but everything will depend on the prices and taxes of the country of purchase.
@@THESHADOW97139just get the csl dd bundle atp, i boguht mine for 388.19€
One thing to remember is that as you move up in equipment you also start adding button boxes, then multi monitor setups and then you need a more powerful system to run it and the set up and additional needed software can complicate the overall system and rig.
I recommend someone new to start simple and honestly your best upgrade to see driving improvements and lap time consistency is the pedals not the wheelbase.
I will say probably 80%+ of all new sim racers can be well served using a wheelstand, a single 32"-34" monitor or maybe a 43" tv and with under a grand invested in their wheelbase, pedals and wheel.
Most new racers will come and go and not play to the extent long term they think they will and just pop in every so often for shorter spells racing then not race again sometimes for weeks or months.
Not to mention the AVERAGE racer will not have the skillsets to be racing at a level to ever be able to see that elusive .2 tenths of a second laptime to put them over the top when comparing racing with a $600 rig versus a $2500 rig.
Keep it simple and at a reasonable budget is the best answer for the majority of people sim racing on Saturday morning while still in their underwear!
Thank you oc always making bangers!
Appreciate the support 👍
Love your vids! Was just wondering, is an ultrawide monitor or 3 normal monitors with the brackets in between better for sim racing? Also, what resolution are your 3 monitors?
Been thinking for my next summer goal I should get pedals, a shifter, a hand break and a wheel. But I am not sure yet. My future plans are very vague, I am saving up for a car yet I might move to UK, it's just all over the place... I guess i will see
i remeber me watching your old guide when i only had a TM T80, now i have a T300 and the new shifter TH8S
I bought Thrustmaster T248 because it was discounted this spring.
But then Fanatech cut the price of the CSL bundle, and Moza came out with an entry-level model for the same price as the T248.
I totally misstaked the time to buy a steering wheel controller.😢
It's okay. It happens. But if you have the means, do trade the T248 and get the Fanatec or other alternative in mind.
Sell it for same price, then upgrade for cheap
Perfect, thanks man!
You're very welcome!
Got the t128 on sale at amazon. Have been super happy with it. It feels like the force is plenty to me. In dirt rally i was wishing it was weaker😂 but if you’re on a super budget and cant afford the other “entry level” options, id go for it. For me, $300-$500 for a gaming peripheral doesn’t make sense
Naah bro, if u really get into racing/drifting and try out the dd wheels, u will se why we've spent that much on them xd .But yeah, i had a t248 first and that was the start of the spiral "sim racing" xd
@@spawn0ne lol i hear you but im not trying to get a super realistic experience with it so the 128 is enough for me
T128 is plenty. For some reason sim racers expect a feedback strength that can be seen in cars with no power steering and everything from the road is delivered directly into your hands with no dampening between. 😅 The pedals are crap though but it is compatible with Thrustmaster pedals like T3PM for not too much money.
@@MaaZeus Makes sense if you want that. If you're not a simulation racer and prefer simcades, you don't need DD ever. So pick what you wanna play, then adjust the peripherals. Anything else is stupid, because some games or only on console, some only on PC and if you play arcade or simcade games you don't need super high fidelity.
@@MrProthall A simcade racer I am indeed. Closest thing to a proper simulation that I own is Project Cars 2, which is a load of fun in VR.
Just a little tip for UK and Aussie people. And anywhere else that have a cash converters. Which to anyone who doesnt know. Its a second hand store similar to a pawn shop but its a big company. Anyway. Buying second hand from them is a good option. They check the item before they buy it from someone so you know it works. And in the off chance it doesnt they have a really good returns reputation. But the good thing is they arent specialised in anything so they get in good stuff but sell it cheap since they have know clue what they have. Ive bought a t300rs Gt with clutch pedal. Boxed for 189 pound which if you try to buy it new its 360 pound. Ive seen a t500rs for 99. Fanatec wheel rims for 50. Its a something to think about
In the words of the great DankPods: “A garage sale with dedicated business hours and a returns policy”
I use a wheel stand, a non folding, stable stand that allows me to stand on the brake pedal and which has no visible movement in use. Unfortunately I don't have space for a full rig or triples, my rig is solid though, handles my direct drive wheelbase and 100kgs load cell brake pedal better than many full cockpits. There is some flex in the shifter mount but it's minimal and not enough to effect gate entry. Completely removing movement from your setup makes a big difference, more than the upgrade from belt to direct drive. I'd also recommend OLED display/s, their much faster response times make you feel like you're looking thru a windscreen not watching on a monitor. Another top tip is to use the lightest wheel that is suitable for your wheelbase, it's lower mass makes the most of your motors FFB output, giving a snappier more immediate feel than one with greater mass. Round wheels are better for all around car control, ask a rally driver 😉
I feel like in 2023, going into 2024, people should avoid getting a gear driven wheelbase, now that belt driven and even direct drive wheels are becoming more affordable, even more so in the future. What do you think though? I'm honestly just a beginner, just started getting into sim racing just recently
Unfortunately, "affordable" varies from person to person depending on their circumstances. Has direct drive wheels fallen drastically in price? Absolutely. Does that make it affordable for everyone? Not really.
Yes. $399 for Moza r3 bundle. $499 for the r5 bundle. All direct drive. For prices comparable to many starter wheels with gears, and belts.
i got a solid sim cockpit on amazon a few months ago for 200 bucks, it was a little bit more than the wheel stands, and im pretty sure its just a generic chinese brand with welded steel tubing, but its powder coated, and considering most cockpits start at 1000 dollars id say i did pretty good
I’m just about to buy a gt elite because of your review any tips for how to use it correctly
Banger after banger
What’s setup would I need to go with since I play both forza and gran turismo on console. I have a pc but I want to use my 65in tv for racing and chilling. I was looking at fantec stuff and it’s in my price range as well.
Just ordered the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 and I'm excited to see how it holds up. It's the perfect solution for my situation right now, but I'm wondering how much space the shifter/handbrake mount has.
Do you think the SSH shifter (as a handbrake) + the TH8A shifter would both fit on there?
Awesome! I honeslty can't remember but I think both of them will fit. Worst case scenario you'll have to buy the Thrustmaster handbrake/shifter mount seperately and mount that onto the wheelstand itself. (at least I think that would work?)
@@OCRacing Thanks for the reply! That sounds like an idea...but would cost me way more than intended. Let's hope that the mount given has enough space...
Hey, did it work as intended?
@@justadapt1619 Hey, man.
Even if there was enough space, it sadly wasn't strong enough to withstand the shifter. The whole mounting arm was flexing, so I mounted it right next to the wheel on the top of the wheelstand. That option works like a charm!
all you should need is a high res encoder and a solid drive shaft connected to a even handle!
What little ive got is from ebay, its taking forever but hopefully ill have my rig done next year
I got given an Xbox 360 then picked up a Xbox wireless racing wheel/pedals in mint condition for £20. The FF on the wheel was much better than I had expected (never having used an FF wheel before) so it was a very pleasant surprise. Forza 3 and 4, Dirt 3, original Forza Horizon and Race Driver games are all a lot of fun to play on this setup and although obviously not full sims are certainly challenging enough and the graphics have not aged badly at all. Just getting a clean run on a rally stage in Dirt (let alone fast), or a clean hot lap of the Nordschleife on Forza ain't easy!
I reckon that's gotta be the cheapest possible sim rig.
That's the way to do it, good man - 360 rules
should i go for a refurbished g29 from the official website? its about 250 whit everything included
As someone new to racing wheels, what I am interested in is what setup is most likely to be compatible with any game - from more serious sim racers, to arcade racers like NFS. NFS is what i played long ago, and I've been itching to play some racing games. I kinda want to invest a little in case I get more into sim racing, though. Almost got the MOZA R5 based off of this vid, but looks like it might not work for NFS? Any advice for a newbie that's looking for a solid choice for most games around 500 USD?
I'm excited to get the new Moza R3 bundle that IS xbox compatible. It was recently announced and looks promising.
Except it's at literally the exact same $400 price as the far superior Fanatec CSL DD bundle which absolutely kicks its ASS into the ground and then proceeds to smear dogshit all over its face... 🤦😑
We're talking ≈3.9nm max torque w/ no upgrade path, no console support, and a MUCH smaller selection of wheels vs ≈5nm stock w/ an optional $100 ≈8nm "boost kit" power supply brick & cable upgrade, full Xbox support, AND a MUCH larger selection of wheels & accessories for the EXACT SAME PRICE! It's not even close if you're being even remotely honest. 🤷
All of Moza's current products are fantastic, but all are about ≈$100 overpriced. Fanatec permanently putting the full-fat CSL DD bundle at just $400 has straight up changed the game, full-stop.
pxn v99 bro 220 at sale and has clutch brake a 3.2 NM ffb with quick release and a 6 speed shifter with 2 buttons and reverse
if you’re casual like me here’s my setup
t300gt edtion wheel and pedals
thrust master shifter( i have the expensive but i’d get the cheaper on personally)
gt lite ps edition
ps5 & psvr2 for gt7
I've been on a g920 for about 3 1/2 years now, its been a trooper after all the abuse ive put it through, but its time for a upgrade
I purchased a cheap Thrustmaster T150 and a playseat challenge and it has worked for years. It gives better / quieter force feedback compared to the low end Logitec models
What are you classing as low end? I'm currently setting up a psvr2 rig but as you can imagine the vr2 took most of my budget....Is the g29 a low end wheel? Thanks in advance
Unfortunately I sold my ferrari thrustmaster and pedals once lockdown had finished. Loved it, but I've heard the g29 is better.
@@albrightonthenight Yes it is a low end wheel. It is gear based and is loud. The pedals are much better than the thrustmaster ones though. Many owners love it though.
Here in Canada the T-150 and the G29 are the same price on Amazon. I would love to upgrade to a direct drive wheel but they are too expensive for how much use I would get out of them.
The Ferrari thrustmaster is not considered a good wheel and I would take my T-150 over it any day. I am considering getting a T-300 one day (or equivalent model), but until then I will stick to my reliable T-150 (I've owned it for around 7-8 years)
I wished I could use VR but after 30 seconds I get so sick that I am feeling it for 5-6 hrs later.
@@angryoldcanadian3905 I will check out the t-150 thank you! Haha I know what you mean, I tried my friends he said you do get use to it after a week. I just couldn't believe how real it was, I was immediately hooked.
I got the c5 coming...it should be here in a couple days
I'm new to sum racing, so I wouldn't be able to say if you've missed anything. However, your review was very solid for those of us trying to understand the basics, as far as what to buy, what parts are compatible, what's affordable and what's popular. The review was concise, comprehensive and sensible. Not a lot of yapping about nothing, extending the video into a 30 minute video. I can appreciate that. Thanks
Wilk you review Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter soon?
I found a hori racing wheel used for 15 dollars and it’s been doing good for about a year, the only problem is that it doesn’t have a clamp and they are ridiculously hard to find.
Bro never stops with the grind 💪
You already know 🤝
@@OCRacingYessir😂
i wonder why t300rs and 300rs gt wasnt mentioned. they are very good wheels. you can get new one with logitech price but its better then t248 wheelbase and its wheel-swapable.
What game are you playing around the 1:13 mark in the video? You’re weaving in and out of Tokyo traffic and it looks bad ass! Is that Project Cars? Is it worth getting?
Asseto corsa mode traffic
It’s the Shutoko Highway mod on assetto corsa
I got the Moza R5 from Amazon and i love it. I know R9 is stronger but $500 i spent has everything you need for a first time sim racer
they sell the r5 on amazon? i had to get mine from a reseller. when i checked it wasn’t there.
@schmaltzz It's more expensive but you deal with Amazon and not Moza
If i may say this, some links dont work, for example links for your equipment.
whats that game with all the traffic being played? i see it a lot.
Do you think it's possible to race with something like the G920 on a laptop? I'm not sure if it will not cover the screen...
Sick!
Thanks! 🤠
Hey I am thinking to try sim racing
What could be the setup that I should Get
I am buying Assetoo Corsa and Corsa Competitizone (sorry for wrong spellings) and F1 games as well
I have a 24" 1080p monitor With RTX 3060 and ryzen 5 7600
I just want a steering wheel with pedals because i have very less space in my room what should I consider and i am tight on budget as well
I would be playing online most of time so i need best experience for that
Moza R3 launches, making your amazing work on this video out of date 😢
Guess this just goes with the territory in a fast evolving market.
Not sure what are the differences between r3 and r5 still thinking
Honestly if you’re looking at the Logitech wheel don’t buy it… save for a while longer and get the direct drive. Also the idea that you can get a cockpit for a direct drive wheel for less than $1000 is hopeful thinking. Whatever you do do NOT buy Playseat cockpits, they are poor quality, they lie about availability, shipping times, and neglect to inform customers of import fees all while not being able to get into contact with customer support/service.
is there a good bundle for $500 on the ps5 would not like to upgrade
I had been interested in sim racing for a while but didnt want to put down $300-$500 on a setup, so i checked craigslist every now and then for a few months. One day i found a guy who was selling his G29 with pedals and the shofter for $120 plus $20 for a stand... Needless to say i jumped on that right away. The equipment all feels brand new, i dont kbow what he was thinking selling it so cheap but it worked out great for me
Hmmmm, probably because it is a terrible option and he couldn't return it.
@@jarredgallaher2643 well, paying full price for it is pretty bad, yeah
What is the actual racing game you play on PlayStation?
A few comments on a suitable spec PC would be worth a few minutes. Bit of a minefield I know but could be useful. Would’ve helped me a couple years ago. But an ex-office PC with a 2gb GT1030 GPU got me into iracing. All downhill from there lol.
Your absolutely wright,, racers including myself often neglect mentioning the cost of the system running the software
gonna help the analytics and comment: In my region, the secondary market is only priced a littler lower than buying new. Maybe there was a backorder situation recently .. so folks were asking for purchase price? idk
I saw that the cammus c5 bundle is just over $300 and it comes with the c5 wheel, a desk clamp and the cp5 pedals. That looks like the cheapest direct drive bundle, I just don't know if those pedals are decent at all. Anyone know?
I am currently looking for a stan for my T300RS GT edition wheel, friend bought me for helping him get a PC. I know nothing about rigs and all this stuff so I don't care what it looks like, I can't mount it to a desk, and I don't have space for a cockpit version, A stand would be perfect for me, I checked the gt omega site and their all sold out lol. Any suggestions?
Can you make a review for the th8s shifter?
In talks now to make it happen 👍
Honestly, the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on a DD like the Moza R5 is the lack of loadcell pedals and having to spend more on top of the wheel base
Well buying the bundle, you’ll still have the option to fit the included pedals with a loadcell brake. It will cost more but it could still be a good option.
@@OCRacingcan the SRP-Lite be modded with a loadcell brake? I thought they only sell an additional clutch pedal accessory
DFGT wheel, SHH shifter, and T3PA pedals.
Lol now I get why you were trying to big-up the T3PA's vs the newer & unquestionably superior T3PM's, despite the latter being better in literally EVERY SINGLE WAY! 🤣
(I replaced my trusty T3PA's with T3PM's this past month after finding a used T248 on my local classifieds in basically mint condition w/ everything included for just $195, after which I sold my TMX Pro's w/ their T3PA's to a good buddy for almost the entirety of my upgrade cost! 🥳)
And that remains true even if you need to spend an extra +≈$10 to get a conical rubber brake mod piece for them (like the T3PA's come with stock) off Etsy/Amazon, if you are truly properly OBSESSED with THAT particular pedal experience. 🤷
(I haven't bothered to do that as the 2x different springs, each paired w/ or w/o the included, super thick rubber spring depressing washer gives me MORE than enough "fine-grained adjustment" on the brake pedal [w/ a massively, MASSIVELY wider range from stiffest to softest stock setup vs the T3PA's].)
Maybe i missed it in the comments, what game were you playing? Driving through the expressway like that.
Maybe the r3 could’ve been mentioned but seeing as it was released two days ago I see why it was left out
I haven’t tested nor received it so I can’t really comment as to whether I would recommend it or not, hence I didn’t mention it.
i would suggest getting good standalone pedals like MOZA Racing SR-P and then buying the cheapest wheel available. Good pedals make a huge difference, wheel not so much.
The Cammus C5 seems great, but their shipping is just to much. Warehouse from France to Belgium, 70 bucks shipping ? Comes in total with the clamp almost at 399. It takes away the appeal that it cost 250 bucks. For that price i just pay 25 bucks more and have a Fanatec. With the option to rim swap, add the boost kit etc.
What game was that which had the black lexus on the streets of Tokyo!? Looks like a modern take on Tokyo highway challenge that I had on the dreamcast as a lad! I loved that game!
It was Assetto Corsa with the Sutoko Highway mod!
Great video
Thanks a lot :)
The r3 is now a good option
got the cheapest csl dd bundle for 500€ total (incl. tax, table clamp and aliexpress boost kit), im happy :)
i think with these prices of dd's it's not worth going for sub 500€ belt driven sets
alixpress boost kit? 😳 Let me know how it works
@@OCRacing works great out of the box, connected it, powered the DD on, the fanatec control panel instantly recognized it, i feel a noticeable difference as well when driving, from what i've seen from other people, they've been running the same product for a few months without issues
@@OCRacing Yes ... the product has been known on the net for a while.
The kit costs less on the site than at fanatec .... at the same time, it was difficult to do worse ....
Xbox Series S £250
Logitech G920 + shifter £220
LG 27" 1080p gaming monitor (27MP60GP-B) £110
Off-brand Soundbar (£15)
Argos gaming chair (forgot price)
Ikea desk (forgot price)
My budget setup and I'm extremely happy with it.
Nice setup
Ive been watching u for a very long time and I want to know, what is better for the pricepoint. A moza r9 and gs for £500 (v1 though) or the csl dd with the boost kit and a csl rim for £330. For the pedals I have modded tlcm's but in the future I will upgrade to heuinskveld sprints or simagic p1000/p2000. I have reached out to a few people and subreddits about this question but noone can give me a specific answer 😢
For the prices, I would go with Fanatec 👍
Given the price difference between the two configurations, there is bound to be something bothering you .... say it openly 😉
@@THESHADOW97139 the wheel rim, im looking for a formula/gt style and the csl rim doesnt look anywhere close to a f1/gt but I guess it gets the job done. Even if I were to sell the csl rim and get for example the f1 clubsport rim, people sell them used for roughly 200-300 so it would come out the same as the moza. Plus the reason im asking is because of how fanatecs been lacking compared to moza and how theyre constantly releasing new and good gear
@@cs2alex I see .... however, pay attention to the weight and size of your wheels.
For 9 nm, gs is a heavy and big ... the feeling might be better, on a smaller and lighter hair.
Regarding the brand to choose, I find that Fanatec has good prices (especially at the low end) but it also has a detestable after-sales service and too many technical problems, which they still refuse to solve.
But this is all just my opinion
There are also some options for 60-100$ that are OK, specially if you only want to play arcade games, or try something cheap before thinking about going for the real stuff
The gt lite cockpit is good but if you’re using a powerful dd wheel base the cockpit will move a lot
I've used it with an 8nm GT DD Pro and it did a decent job. Anything higher than that though and it probably would struggle. Regardless, for entry-level setups, it should be more than enough.
@@OCRacingalso I don’t think anyone is gonna use that full 8nm so ye
Well all i can say is, don't cheap out pc, a good pc is important for sim racing
TH8S shifter review?
Though you're not taking into the consideration the fact that the prices in the USA and EU are the same which is very very unfair to the Europeans because in the US the average salary is around 40k in Europe in countries like Italy its around 10k, the good jobs are paid 14-20k a year.. the best possible option if you want to start is the T248X if you need the greatest amount ffb torque for a buck, especially if it's discounted or just go for a used one otherwise G923 if you're looking for more options on your the wheel. And the best thing is you don't need to buy anything else in addition if you go for these 2. DD's simply can't compete with that pricing... I agree to some extent if you spend 150 euros more you can get yourself a bundle from Fanatec that's around 500euro but it doesn't include the mounting clamps which are additional 30 euros or so. Imho you should start from Logitech or Thrustmaster and see if it worths it to upgrade to a DD because you actually need a better rig since you're very fast but limited by your sim rig
What are my options for direct drive on ps5?
what about Thrustmaster T300? as I heard its good steering wheel too
What game are you displaying at 4:36?
What game is that at the beginning with the lexus?
If you are going to start sim racing I dont recommend a direct drive wheel. If you crash your arms will get destroyed and they are just loud.
Having played all the major sim racing games, *none of them mimic my real car AT ALL!* No point in a DD wheel when all the games are mediocre. 😂
In the last week I bought a used Thrustmaster TX with CSL elite v1 pedals for 160 USD I encourage everyone to look at the used market it’s worth the couple day of searching!
That's a steal! Yes, the second handmarket often has some great finds
Does anybody know if the csl dd bundle works with the ps4 pro?
Any sim recommendations?
Its really difficult to get all the gear in India but finally after 2 years I sold my g29 and shifter and got a moza direct drive with hbp handbrake and th8s shifter. Cant wait for it to be delivered.
As for any newcomers, especially in India, g29 is still the best bang for buck. I have no regrets of getting it. It was endless fun. I will surely miss it.
You might as well buy quality gear. Once you try sim racing you're hooked.
The upgrade path does get expensive.
Will you be doing your iRacing videos again?
Yes 😎
Cheap you say? Good vid oc!
Cheap in the scope of sim racing haha. Thanks!
Guys when u wanna go into sim racing i can still say buy the T300rs please its worth it and best with 3 pedals !!
abit to soon not knowing the R3 release
I was going to mention it but I really can't comment on it since I've never used it.
Can anyone tell me the game that is shown at 0:46? The one with driving through a street full of traffic
That is Assetto Corsa with various mods on PC
If you haven’t done simracing g29 is great to start. My friend is fighting for records on f1 and assetocorsa and I’m following closely with his guide. Great setup.
Definitely some incredibly fast guys out there using a g29
While the physical build quality & materials are absolutely IMPECCABLE and kick the shit out of everything
Hey OC Racing why You Review Moza R3 Official Licence for Xbox. I hope SIM Racing Console were Happy Moza Official Support for Xbox.
Wym ofc they don't work on pc? On amazon it says that every pedal that u mentioned works on pc...
In my coutry prices are a lot higher for example moza r5 bundle you mentioned cost 750$ and the fanatec cost 800$. It's not cheap.
