You are a miracle Mate
How did you get a tuxedo and get that video Out so fast?
Your video almost Made me Order another Fanatec wheelbase
😂
I got the P1 V2 which is the cheapest wheel….with a 8nm base. and I love it! It is 20 mm wider than the Moza cheapest rim, and it makes a huge difference. The rubber grip on the Fanatec wheel is good, so if u are in between a Moza or Fanatec, look at the wheel size. I have not tried the Moza 28cm wheel btw, I just know it is too small for what I want.
The upgrade of the V3 pedals was in my best upgrade, so delighted with those.
From someone who used to race , with modest wins in one make series……those V3 pedals were the biggest upgrade, and I see no need to upgrade these pedals. Or the 8 nm base either……they are my final upgrade
@@richardsracingmadwhat about shifter how expensive is there shifter knob
@@jgvtc559 I don’t know….look it up yourself
Moza is definetly reason why prices are so good. Just one example why competition is great for customers in all products
Can't argue with Moza, it has been flawless R9
Cammus is the reason moza prices are so good... ;)
Well I got a the Moza cuz of Jimmer
cammus is the biggest bullshit xD@@SleepyPantsSimRacing
Fanatec might have better products than Thrustmaster, but Thrustmaster has the more sensual soundjng name.
GM has been visited by the Thrustmaster: th-cam.com/users/clipUgkx49G1t2wzxuQYeWmSMoXjjGvJL57a-jd-
🤭🤭🤭🤭
I dont need a Thrustmaster, because I am already a thrustmaster :D
@@deadbeef576 Then I'm the ass master.
I'm a fanatic for mastering my thrust.
You mean Moza made pricing more competitive for all companies
MOZA is hot garbage and is going to ruin the market by forcing manufacturers to cut costs and build low quality shite like fkng Moza.
Behringer did the same thing to the recording studio equipment market. Quality over price, all day.
Only on USA and Europe that it wouldnt be a problem in other regions where Fanatec HAS NOT EVEN SALES OR SUPPORT like Logi or Thrustmaster does
No I'm in Turkey.. I'm happily using the wheel. It's solid and reliable. If someting happens bad, I'm free to send it to germany to get fixed. It's same even you live in uk
@@Amcoglu Hi, im also from Turkey and planning to buy the fanatec bundle from their website, can you tell me how much customs tax you paid? Stuff on the internet i found regarding customs tax goes from tens of thousands of liras to around two thousand, so im a little confused.
I can do nothing but believe whatever a man in a tuxedo says.
This deserves a pin
A guy in a tux told me that the black helicopters really were following me and that I should wear a ghillie suit when I go grocery shopping. Best advice I ever got.
@@pasteghost428 Very smart of u. I should take that advice also.
@@pasteghost428 looking for items in a ghillie gives a new meaning to searching through the bush
@@InsomniaReal bush beans 🫘
I will change to DD in the future, currently running a Thrustmaster T300RS because I wanted the clutch pedal, I plan to do drifting alongside the regular track racing. Getting an H-shifter and a hydro at some point.
I've been hearing for years that Fanatec is the G.O.A.T. when it comes to sim rigs. Glad to see that this is changing, because more competition means better options and prices for consumers in the long run
I got simagic recently and it's pretty goood. I'd recommend over 9nm. If you are gonna spend that much. Might as well spend a bit more so you save yourself some ffb clipping and heat. Even if you dont use all 12nm. You'll have some headroom
Fanatec is trash. Too high price for this. Cls is ok, but dd1 and dd2 is bad. The same price for asetek and so much better
@@fs5490asetek is over 90% more expensive. You can’t toss in a thousand dollar direct drive that includes NO wheel and NO peddles. Asetek is GARBAGE because of the price. Your elite mindset is not welcome on an entry level price point.
@@8ending8ranchesyou completely missed his point. He's comparing the Asetek bases to the DD1 and DD2 bases which are $999 and $1499 respectively.
Going with an entry level fanatec was the worst decision I made in the beginning my sim race journey. Its a flawed design, as the USB data connection within the shaft often slips and disconnects. (requiring a torque wrench to properly reseat and tighten - which is only a temp fix). Plus their customer service is horrible, taking forever to respond and get return process started.
I bit the bullet and just went with Simucube 2 Pro, so I’d never have to buy another wheelbase again (probably last the rest of my life)
I finally went DD with this deal on Monday of this week. Getting it in next week. I did the BMW wheel (essentially the same wheel as the P1v2 but a bit flashier) for the same price. I was going for the Cammus C5 initially on the same day, and the price for both the C5 and a set of pedals was only $299US, $329 with a desk clamp. What stopped me was the hideous shipping charges Cammus was charging from China to NYC, NY---$114 (!!!) bumping the price to a whopping $443....no deal there at all. The Fanatec ended up only costing me $525 total delivered and I get the option of going from 5Nm to 8Nm, different steering wheel/pedal options, etc. It's just a better ecosystem to do this with. No regrets at all.
Let me know what you think once your kit arrives
@@bmwm3man I got it in and after a few days of figuring all the settings out on various games (AC.ACC, Dirt Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, etc.) I can say that I like it but at the 5Nm I'm using atm don't feel it to be a massive improvement over my Thrustmaster T-300...guess I really like belt drive more than I'd like to admit. Maybe after going to the 8Nm power supply (I'll wait for a sale on that one, $150US is pathetic for a power supply!) it'll change for the better. But I'm content for now, definitely worth the money for sure.
@@dragon2knight thanks for the review man. I'll definitely look into getting with the 8nm supply then.
For somebody who had recieved my CLS DD one week before this price drop it kinda hurt
i ordered mine two days before it 😵💫
Return it and order a new one! Easy
@@iyadkamhiyeh527 nah. Im happy as it is. Just bought the base alone since i have v3 pedals. Not interested in the cls wheel and pedals. But could have sold thatbto somebody else. ;)
@@veeembee the bundle? Might be worth a shot to send a email. I only got the base. Second hand bmw gt2 wheel and hacked a psu to get a cheap boost kit
@@meamjustme yeah bundle with a cheap boost kit as well but honestly im so happy with it right now the extra 100 doesnt even matter its worth
I got the DD Pro bundle for the PS5. It cost me almost $700 with the shipping. The wheel is way better than the thrustmaster t248, but the pedals leave much to be desired. I actually prefer the pedals that came with my t248 since the brake has actual springs rather than a soft piece of foam. Gonna have to save up for the load cell kit.
Table racers have to pay $30USD for the table clamp. Fanatec removed the clamp from the bundles probably because some folks have cockpits or stands and don't want to be forced to buy a bundle that has a desk clamp
I agree. i got a t300 2 years ago, which I would use with the table clamp, and I finally got a basic wheel stand recently and I'm rediscovering my wheel. the table is something you'd only use if that is your only option
If only they could negotiate with Sony and MS to get all compatibility with both console into the wheelbase too so that rims would just be rims it would be perfect. A dream I know, but hope springs eternal.
@oortcloud210 If you buy the ps4/5 dd base, all you need is a xbox compatible wheel and it will work. I bought the gt7 bundle and I also bought the McClarren wheel for 199.00, so I can race on PC, XBox series x, and my Ps5.
Totally agree. If they made them to be used by all, alot more of everything would sell. But marketing and rights kill it all. I suppose its a way to possibly keep prices up, which is usually illegal, but its still marketing
Got mine last week! What a difference from my old G27. Pedals a bit soft, but loadcell next! A bargain for 399 euro.
How long did you have your g27
and the cool thing about that wheel is you can get an upgradede power unit that almost doubles the nm for 100.
i bought the ccl dd with 5nm 2 month ago, works fine with the lite quick release, but with the upgrade to 8nm i highly recommended to buy the expensive QR1 wheel side clubsport for 100€. After the uprade i had many issues with the lite release, it feels lose and 1 time i had a disconnect during the race (and i don't use the full tork, i believe if i did it would have breaked the adaptor). The clubsport quick release changed the feeling complete, now it feels like the wheel is really connected to the base. Beware of these costs if u buy this bundle and think its easily upgradeable.
I must say I had the opposite experience with the McLaren GT3. Actually I switched back to the QR1 lite again.
@@rakimaje8433 wow okay, i have the same wheel...good to know that it could be different. i had such a bad experience with the lite release, it feels like every corner could be the last for this peace of ***** plastic...
@@hgpichel1989 i thought it was only me!! having a defecive unit, i had the same experience. i put a piece of cloth between the QR1 lite and the base and now the wheel is firmly connected to the base! with no sloppy movements whatsoever no more weird shaking and crackling noises
Good to hear this, but still in my country isn't a viable option right now (unless you have deep pockets). Also, having no support in my country is a deal breaker because if something happens, you have to buy a new one. So, I gonna keep my G29 wheel for a long time.
would be nice if my csl pedals gas pedal didn't stop working a month after i got it and i see no fix from support other than buying a new gas pedal
Yeah and I ordered mine last night, £540 in total to including the 8nm boost and load cell pedal
I’m going that route too. All of this in one kit is kinda crazy.
Total cost with shipping and import costs?
I can't order direct from fanatec to deliver in south africa. The dealers here charge way to much. Any help please?
I'm considering buying a wheel and maybe i'll settle for this bundle, I've had a lot of fun playing assetto corsa but only with a controller, and since i'm considering doing my first racing set up i couldn't help but notice you were driving on a office chair, which has wheels, how did you do it? did you buy wheel stoppers took the feet off, or did something else enterily? did you think that upgrading to a stationary chair is a must have or can an office chair be good enough for a while?
I just ordered one a couple of days ago. Should be here next week. Super pumped.
no love for the playstaion user, the price of the DD GT is too high :(
out-of-the-box console compatibility still a pretty strong argument for Logitech/Thrustmaster as an entry-level wheel if you can get them sub-$250, but I will say as someone who has finally gotten the hang of driving with a Logitech, a $400 price is probably one I'll be willing to pay for an upgrade in the next couple of years
$150 is such a small difference in price for a huge upgrade to direct drive
DD is the way to go, believe me. Coming from a CSL Elite wheel bundle, that I purchased several years ago. I bought the gt7 combo with the McClaren GT wheel, and I can race on pc, xbox, and ps5.
Not in the uk, it’s still like £420 after import taxes are added on for the csl dd ready to race bundle
only thing that stops me getting this over the Thrustmaster or lg is the fact if you live in th euk you wil lhave to pay custom fee
Not in LATAM… Sadly for us the shipping is too expensive to get any wheel. Even the Logitech g29 is expensive. 😢😢
I can't even afford a 280$ logitech wheel let alone a 400$ fanatec one
In my case the T300RS GT is a better option as I'm a drifter not a circuit racer. The cost is also less and more beginner friendly
for me there is one problem... I have PS5 and want to use wheel console, not only PC so...
any thoughts on the new cammus c5 wheel? how does it stand compared to the fanatech wheel?
fanatec might be better, but shipping is a nightmare. I can just walk into a big store in canada (canada computers or memory express), and buy a g920 off the shelf, or its TM competitor. The only DD i saw was the moza r5 bundle. It costs 524 CAD after conversion rates, plus you have to pay duties because fanatec doesnt have any official suppliers in canada (or at least ontario). Or you could go to a sim store and pay 350 cad for a mclaren gt3 racing wheel. I heard upwards of 900 CAD for a 8mn csl (they dont sell the 5). Just imagine when the wheel breaks. Just imagine the pain to ship it back to fanatec and get a replacement. Not fun. Good price though.
Canadians always lose in this regard. We tend to pay more after conversion anyways, for all products of every kind.
Well it’s a European brand, of course you’ll have an easier time to find an American brand like TM or a global powerhouse like Logitech. It’s your decision after all, the best sim engineering comes from Europe, it costs money to ship all of it and the duties are not their fault. They are also smaller specialized companies, you can’t find them in normal stores in Europe either, don’t go to a regular store when you need high quality gear in any niche
@@drchtctThrustmaster is french
@@GranadaFelish It's American, founded 1990 in Oregon. It was just acquired by a French parent company, but still operating from Oregon to this day. It's like saying Skoda or Lamborghini is German just because it's part of the Volkswagen Group.
@@drchtct TM might be originally from Oregon, but it was bought in 1999 before even making sim racing stuff (they started making joysticks for flight games). It's HQ is in France. Doesn't matter where it was originally from, the HQ is in France and the point was that the stuff is exported from Europe. Difference is that TM, just like Logitech is a powerhouse in terms of logistics compared to Fanatec. Even though Fanatec is much larger than a company like Moza, they are not present in any point of the globe, especially because their stuff is not cheap from the get go
Im considering buying this, I have the csl elite v2 pedals already and it would come cheaper to buy this bundle with pedals included than buying the wheel and the base separately
Absolutely and never hurts to have spare pedals if you ever have an issue
I've just bought used setup today: trustmaster t300, 3 pedals, th8a shifter and cockpit for 500 bucks
No regrets
I just ordered the 8nm and was planning to use it on my desk due to lack of space for a full sim setup, but I didn’t realise the desk clamp was so janky… hopefully it’ll be fine if I stay away from drifting
any update on this? im looking to pick up the 5nm version but im still kinda worried because my desk is a bit on the flimsier side
@@dexter9573 I think you’ll be alright, I haven’t had any problems with mine yet. Just really tighten it and make sure the rubber stoppers on the underside of the desk are flat
Given that my CSL wheel failed for no reason, and also the plastic broke on the wheels because of poor build quality, I'm going to say, 'pass'
I spent my money, so you don't have to.
should i grab th fanatec CSL DD ready to rac or moza r5 bundle
Great, except the gap between the cheapest gt dd (ps compatible) bundle is now 300 dollars? Sheesh..
400$, with the CSLDD base (great), with the most basic wheel of fanatec (only 14 buttons against 20 on the G923 and also G923 has a wheel switch and worst grip than G923), with the most basic fanatec pedals and no clutch (you'll have to spend 40$ more for the clutch, the peddals are same level than logitech ones, even a bit better) and no shifter (G923 bundles with shifter are arround 380$, and fanatec only offers one shifter that costs over 250$, which is ultimately the best shifter in the market but still expensive). So you're comparing a 400$ bundle that only offers better base, and in the rest it lacks of it or is the same quality than logitech, and yes you can upgrade, but fanatec still to expensive to be a friendly begginer ecosistem.
I play rally games like dirt 2.0 as well as the F1 games, GT7 and asseto corsa, but I need a shifter for rally, and If I had to start on the fanatec ecosystem I would have spent at least with this bundle arround 700$ because of the shifter and the clutch pedal, and I will have a worse wheel. So I do not think this killed logitech, but I think It will make logitech lower their prices which will be a very good thing for sim racers.
And Cammus gave them the grace shot with the C5 bundle...
I bought one of these 2 months ago and it still hasn’t shipped. So much for having it in time for Christmas 🤦♂️.
I just bought the Logitech g923 with the shifter new for $100 less then the fanatec bundle. If I’m not too deep into sim racing and I just wanna play casually on a budget, is it really worth upgrading?
For fuck sake no. Use it , gain some experience, if you are okay with it keep it. If nah sell it and buy the fanatec, not that huge of a deal. You can also consider Moza steering wheel + bases, cause the wheels are aluminum and not plastic like fanatec. But I would recommend going for the CSL v2 pedals of fanatec, as I know moza 's pedals sucks.
Se sabe si el csl dd pro vendra algun dia con el qr2 de serie?? Ahora mismo viene con el qr1 y hay que comprar el qr2 por separado
Yeah Fanatec could have killed the competition if only the CSL DD was RELIABLE. A-lot of problems
Nope. Thrustmaster and Logitech both work on this thing called a Playstation. Fanatec only sells a much more expensive set for it. They aren't doing anything to anyone. They're just trying to stay alive with Moza cutting deep into their market share.
you're missing the point. a DD wheel and better quality materials at the same cost as your belt drive wheels and plastic toys is a deal. but you probably shouldn't even be watching this video in the first place
@@covidcarl7480 put your mask back on pal
huh?
My setup is mint.
I use a cheap camping chair with a cheap camping table with a Keyboard and mouse. I really feel immersion the like no other. 🤣😂😂
I need advice please guys should i go for the Fanatec CSL DD 5nm without loadcell pedals, Thrustmaster T300 ferrari 599x evo edition, or Thrustmaster T248? Thanks I will read all responses. I have never owned a wheel and im super into racing games. My budget is about £400/$500/€460
I'm very disappointed with my Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro bundle. My wheel base went up in smoke a month after buying it. Can only speak with support via email and they are in Europe so a day passes between messages. They replaced the wheel base and booster kit but now the pedals don't work. For what I paid, I'd expect a more reliable product and more responsive customer care.
I have never had anything Fanatec die on me, and I have been using their products almost 5 years. And I have the same DD pro bundle, but I use my elite pedals with load cell, from my previous setup. So you sir are probably an anomaly. And the fact that their customer service was excellent by your own admission. Lots of company are not stationed in the US, so that is not extraordinary or nothing.
I race on a second hand logitech g29 for over 3 years now and not once had a problem whith it.that says enough i think.
@@gertinewoord1887 yep. I'm really upset. Spent about $1,000 on new gear to "upgrade" and I've only gotten about a motnh's use. Right now it's all on its way back to Fanatec for the 2nd time b
@@bumpsy2358 well, if you Google Fanatec smoke or similar you'll find that I'm not the only one.
If only you could a NRG/D1/Kyostar style QR on Fanatec, I would buy it...but with their protected ecosystem I'm going to the competitor.
love fanatec, 400 for the wheelbase, wheel and pedals, 350 for the base only
Capitalism!
@@driderv53 yes but it's ridiculous
I am so thankful i found this video, waiting on my new wheel now!! Keep up the good stuff
Fanatec dd pro is great. Just got it recently. But I can't seem to get center detail. The powersteering kicks in on brake load or suspension load in forza horizon 5. Kinda causing my nerves in my arms to tense up. After I'm done playing it kinda feels tingly etc. Anyone else have this problem?
Forza has wierd Force Feedback
Try lowering the Natural Damper to 10-25% and the Interpolation Filter to 1
That makes the FFB more "natural" feeling
@@driderv53 I'll Try. I feel the wheel is better in h 4 but h5 has more settings. Also when u go to advanced in the wheel the presets u had dissappear. Strange. How do u even save and lock?
is this bundle compatible with ps4/5? or do i really need to buy the playstation official bundle which is much expensive that i want to spend?
I wish they would cut the price on dd pro aswell. Only difference is Playstation Support.
Isn’t this 399 bundle only compatible with PC according to the Fanatec website ? I thought only the 699 bundle is compatible with PlayStation ?
this is awsome, a good aluminium rig and this combo for only 800 is a very nice starter setup
Its getting cheaper because it breaks… dont bite the hook. The Quick Release is expensive and they sell you even a screw plus shipping for that single screw… or a PS for the 8NM Mode… for another 150 USD plus Shipping. I went for the Logitech, absolut high end product.
I'm still waiting for the CSW DD wheel to launch 😂
I agreed as a thrustmaster owner, comparing to a TG-II to this is a joke.
What’s the racing sim that’s presented in the video?
Imbeen looking for a upgrade and this might be the route I take I was looking at thrust master new dd wheel but wasn't very impressed
I literally got a perfectly working g920 with pedals and a new Logitech shifter for 190 Eur
im terrified of ordering on fanatec rn, nobody seems to have it flawless, most dont receive their orders, and IF they get them finally, they are damaged. 500 is a lot for me, for that price i guess i'll go for moza then
Yeah, 430 EUR + 30 shipping + 80 tax = 540 EUR - doesn`t look like t300 killer if you`re on a budget)
im currently planning on replacing my g29. its been good but its way too loud and not great tbh. ik it wont be worth much but i already have a bit of money left around.
Unfortunately this wheel is hard to get in the United States. I can’t even get on the website. It’s horrible.
Unfortunately for me as an Xbox x player this bundle is not compatible unless I spend more for a different wheel that is compatible
Add the McLaren rim and you're at the old price but one wheel for GT and one for Rally
So, can i mix my logitech g29 pedals and shifter with this fanatec direct drive wheel?
Sadly no.
watching this video i'm wondering why we don't just have all the gauge and gps information and actually all the console information on the windshield instead of on the cosole i want my eyes on the road not down at my console
I dream about importing an DD, but with all taxes adding up in brazilian government I dont think I'll buy one living around here.
too bad my I bought my Direct Drive and CSL Universal hub (whose shifters broke and Fanatec has failed to provide any support for) before this bundle dropped
which "game" or sim is that, where u driving at. What is Shutoku? thanks^^
Is there any link for singapore?
I wouldn't take a CSL DD even for free at this point. Sold it after 3 months lmao. That plattform is full of issues and cheap tolerances.
Is it compatible for Xbox1 and to use through drivehub if not?
Im totally new to racing sim, can someone explain to me how this is a better choice than the g920? (taking to considering that i really want a clutch and a shifter)
it would be the feel of the wheel. the direct drives feel much better. i have a g27 and most the time i dont use clutch/shifter. unless im just messing about or rally or drifting. if you just want to do flat out gt racing, or iracing you dont need the clutch or shifter, and it will make you slower. but having the clutch and shifter is nice for sure. you can practice heel and toe technique. i was able to use the things i learned from that in real life. a dd wheel wont make you any faster. it might give you a bit more confidence to push harder or catch slides, which is obviously better. in the end its an expensive hobby. the load cell brakes are probably the strongest upgrade you could get which will make the most difference. i would rather cheap wheel with vr or triples personally but im not an expert either.
Direct-drive wheels are on a different planet when it comes to the force feedback and the detail you can get from them. Simply put, you get a much better feeling for what the car does.
Fanatec also has a good eco system, so there's a lot of extras you can buy and upgrade to later on
The g920 only outputs 2 nM of torque and is also gear driven. This wheel base outputs 5 nM of torque without a boost kit, and 8 nM with. That's a LOT more force so the resistance will feel more realistic. It's also direct drive instead of gear-driven, so it should feel smoother. You'll also be able to feel things like the car losing traction for example, the g920 really isn't capable of that
Hi, what's the name of the game where you tried the steering wheel?
im still waiting for it in the uk 5 more days
I paid 850 for my logitech g pro on sale and is worth every penny. When i rev my car my gt omega titan vibrates just like the feeling when revving a real car when playing dirt rally 2.0 I love my wheel the truforce is something else.
sounds cool. you get the load cell brakes with that?
@@superdupertyson i have the tlcm's
Does anyone have any idea how long this deal will last? I wanna get this soon but worry the deal will stop.
It won't go up in price. Moza is the reason fanatec dropped the prices. The only way of them getting more expensive is inflation
Looks like im going Fanatec, was debating other DDS but you cannot beat Fanatec's price.
Cammus C5 just released. Apparently you can beat Fanatec's price. 299 for a 5NM DD Bundle with Pedals.
@@Traumglanz cammus is worse than fanatec in everything, worst pedals, the shifters are worse than 100$ wheels, it overheats really quickly, its wheel diameter makes it "toyish" and no changing it option, no clutch pedal option or load cell for braking (so you have to spend 200$ more in the fanatec pedals or the tlcm ones) and shipping cost is more than 100$ making it cost the same as the fanatec ready 2 race bundle, so why to buy it.
I actually hate that I bought a Simagic setup ~a month ago when I was pondering my options. The 100€ price drop would definitely have pushed me to Fanatec.
Why? The Simagic wheels quality is so much better and even the strength of the base feels so much better (I have both).
@@Bambeakz I mean, I like my Simagic, but was it worth spending 2 times what I would have spent on Fanatec with this price drop ? Probably not.
@@fabienlarvor8283so much more worth it. There’s so many horror stories out there about Fanatec bad customer service. I def would rather go with the simagic
Simagic mini 10 times better than fanatec dd pro. Simagic got top top steering wheels, when fanatec steering wheel is cheap like Logitech g29. Simagic got better QR, and more powerful wheelbase. Even If I had to chouse between simagic mini and fanatec dd with this price I would still go for simagic. Fanatec nowadays can only make old overpriced stuff. They didn't release anything new for almost 2 years already. Only promises. And they still have their sht QR and can't release qr2 for like 2 years already. Meanwhile simagic or moza just took qr from real cars and have 0 problems with it.
@@superstar5042ppl be capping lmaooo. Nah this price is a game changer let's be real.
It's a weird position now, because according to their website if I want to buy just the base it's 500 for the base + boost thingy to have 8nm. But it's 500 as well if I want to have the pedals, wheel, and all of that combined. Wtf
For me it's stupid because I have the clubsport V3s and I would have to spend more to get just the base. They should decrease the price of the stand alone base to like 299. Otherwise it makes no sense if you already have any other part
I'm not gonna lie mate but not everybody who has a wheel wants to go direct drive. I have a g29 and it is perfect in my room, gives me a good enough experience, isn't too powerful, it's so reliable it's unreal and it does what I want it to do. The idea that everyone who loves simulation driving games only don't go the direct drive route because of cost is an error in my eyes...
new thrustmaster with 3 pedals is 250 euros
And Simagic both killed Fanatec, Moza, and Simucube XDD
Moza has r5 bundle with a better wheel built in quick release. And a cheap brake improvement and clutch. And a table mount with the bundle. Moza is just better I think
After looking at Jardier's Fanatec wheel crumbling away recently on a stream. I have to say Fanatec is cheaply made with a hefty price tag.
Does anyone know if you can use the Clubsport Steering Wheel BMW GT2 V2 and the Clubsport Steering Wheel Porsche 911 GT3 R V2??
Yes. But 5nm will be short.
@@randomcallsign sorry..new to this...what do you mean by short?
laughs in my country's pricing where CSL DD bundle costs double of T300RS GT
The sticker on the mclaren wheel is facing the wrong direction
Well now I just have to wait 50 day. I wanted to buy it when it was still in stock, buy didn't have the money yet. Now I have the money, but it's out of stock. Love it.
thrustmaster and logi are good because of their prices fanatec and moza are expsensive but will provide a better feel, is what im getting from this
im still using my g27 xD my next upgrade will be vr and new gpu. i doubt it'd make me that much faster just feel better? this does look nice, but atm playing a 34inch single monitor, its not the wheel thats holding me back.
Wheel prob won't make you faster, but it makes you feel more detail, so it's easier to save the car. That said, new pedals (especially with load cell) can def make you faster
I wouldn't say destroyed as you still don't get the full package like Logitech.... Imo I'd like a clutch pedal of the bat yes I get fanetec is a superior wheel but if your going to put a product into lower end market area it needs to meet the same criteria imo however it sill is value for money....
I'm actually so annoyed with this nonsense. I purchased my sim kit in 2021 which was the CSL Elite F1 bundle. I was then not able to upgrade to the Load cell because they were discontinued and was forced to but the V3 pedals just to get the load cell.
The CSL DD was announced shortly after.
Then my CSL elite took a crap and Fanatec was out of stock for MONTHS.
It is so hard to trust going fanatec with how often they are out of stock.
oh man if i wasnt going to be taxed to the shadow realm by the monkey island IRS i absolutely would buy one
I've just seen this video and now I'm really frustrated because I put the G29 on my Christmas list but I guess no turning back now :(
A week before this happened, i bought a T248. Im so mad but it is what it is. Next wherl will probably the CSL DD
how is the t248 does it feel as cheap as it looks or nah?
@@Steezy93 Its pretty good. It doesn’t feel quite as good as a t300rs but it does the job. Only thing is that the pedals are loud as hell. The motor is a bit loud too but i dont really care with a headset on
@@carson_de I hear those pedals are really good though. I think I will get the T300 Ferrari f99xx edition. I keep hearing the fanatic isnt great without the 8nm upgrade
Currently still in csw v2.5. I dont find it enough of an upgrade.
Cheapest set for ps5 is 699 €. Got nothing on logitech or thrustmaster in the starter range.
