    I could watch the "What's inside" section on repeat, for the rest of the day. Thanks for pulling the curtain back on the CSL-DD.

    3 GREAT Products...i have both Fanatec in showroom and events for years, without any problems, even when used in extreme conditions.
    I had before CSW for yearse, and only had a problem in one (i had 3 sets), and they sent me an entire engine for me to replace, after i asked them for that option.
    So in my case, no problems either in reliability on those 2 bases, and when i needed, the support was excelent...not to mention the great feeling i have with them.
    So in conclusão, not contradicting your Review and the fact that they can have problems in the long run (as other brands and models, but my personal experience, tells a diferent story.
    Any way, thanks for the objective analysis.

    My csl dd doesn't have any issues with my f1 wheel its been working great for me obviously it's not the best around that shows in the price of the wheelbase but for now I'm more than happy with it maybe next year when I decide to upgrade it will be for the simagic ultimate wheelbase

    I’m not a huge fan of Fanatec and I left their ecosystem years ago due to being tired of doing the RMA dance but there is definitely more to carbon reinforcement than just marketing. Even glass fiber reinforced plastics are way stronger than regular plastics. A proper carbon reinforced shaft would be plenty strong enough for DD wheel duties and has the benefit of being lighter and more responsive.

    • @T.S.CUSTOM
      @T.S.CUSTOM  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Being lighter so close to the center is negligible, rotational mass of the shaft may has some significance if the shaft is rotating from 0 to 4000 rpm for example. In case of DD base its negligible considering rotation speed. Fiberglas made of layers yes, carbon made of layers yes, but just mixing some carbon leftovers in injection molded plastic is not that much to make a huge difference in strength.

      @@T.S.CUSTOM thank you for this, and I wish I seen this before I got my CSL-DD base last year. For me, the base has worked fine, but now that I realize that the shaft is plastic with bits of carbon sprinkled in, has me extremely nervous that my wheelbase is on borrowed time.
      When this base takes a dump, I'll go with anything other than a Fanatec. I don't know why Fanatec makes bone headed decisions like this?
      Thanks once again.

      How long do Fanatec usually take to get your return process started on a defective product? I had no idea how terrible they were or I wouldn’t have picked GT DD Pro as my first wheel. Going on a week with no customer service response or return shipping labels.

    I had the Fanatec GT DD pro for 24 hours before it just died on me - I assume its just the USB connection within the shaft slipping out, but I didn’t bother trying to fix it, since it’s likely to happen again at an inopportune time. I put in a return/refund request and immediately ordered a Simucube 2 Pro, which got here two days later and has been a joy to use. A week later and Fanatec still hasn’t started my return process! Their customer service is horrible.

    I lean towards the simucube also but In all fairness, shouldn’t you have taken the simucube apart also? Would you say it has less parts or is less complex and simucube offers replacement parts that you can install?

    • @T.S.CUSTOM
      @T.S.CUSTOM  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fanatec broke down and this is why I disassembled it. Fanatec breaks, simucube does not. There is a rule, if it ain't broken don't touch it. There is no need to disassemble simucube because I know it's simpler and I know it does not malfunction and is the most reliable base on the planet.

      As I said at this point in time, I would go with Simucube and no offense but if you believe your review and reply doesn't defy all points of logic of a fair review then there's nothing I could say that would matter.

    Do you think it's possible to make a metal shaft for the DD Pro?

    • @T.S.CUSTOM
      @T.S.CUSTOM  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, tried it, literary had the base to make extension for it. It is not possible. The shaft is plastic and wobbling off center it would not sustain the additional load a leverage would give. Wobbling only gets worse when you extend the shaft so even some additional bearing support for the shaft is not possible.

    It be Awsome to experience what it’s like with your screen setup and everything, But pc is out of the budget. I contacted Xbox the other day and asked them how can you do triple monitors with on picture after about 20min of them trying to figure it out unfortunately you can’t for the time being hopefully in the future you can it is Microsoft after all………. On that note just pre- ordered clubsport dd+ 🤞nervous after seeing this but for console it is my best option I think and I’m trying to only buy once, 15nm pc/ PlayStation compatibility and with a Xbox wheel it works on Xbox 👍👍👍

      @T.S.CUSTOM  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No way it could damage the shaft or bearings, especially on Simucube. The shaft and bearings are huge in both Simucube and DD2. On DD2 I had extension for over a year on a daily usage without any problems. .

      I don't think so, I made a 17cm long aluminum extender for the Thrustmaster TX base, I used it for 2 years, then I installed it on the T-GT base and used it for 5 years and now I adapted it to Moza r9 and it goes perfectly from June...If it's balanced it won't have any problem, I've had the motor behind the central monitor for many years and it's an advantage, it looks more real... In Spain, Bolori sells official Simagic extenders.
