I wondered if you might have the answer to this. I just ordered the 8 Nm DD last night (DO NOT TELL THE WIFE!!) and i own the McLaren GT3 V2 wheel with the plastic quick release. Now I believe the quick release has to be upgraded to the "metal" version for the DD1 & 2 but i haven't heard whether it needs to be replaced for the 8 Nm "baby" DD. I'm assuming not, but would welcome clarification. BTW, I do enjoy your content, and consider you largely responsible for my purchase last night....another reason not to tell the wife! 😄
No need for upgraded QR as you will get full 8Nm with the basic QR.
@@GamerMuscleVideos Perfect, as i thought but I appreciate the confirmation. Only have to wait 3 months for it to get here now!! :/
@@ianjackson4011 I know the feeling I have been waiting 6+ months for the synden lightgun 🤣👌
@@GamerMuscleVideos These companies don't understand the mental torture we endure!! 😓🤣
9:56 whoever created that effect on the windscreen is the god of graphics (feels like after you wash your car but use a muddy non microfiber cloth to wipe the windshield).
Probably shader patch for assetto corsa. Pretty dope I agree
That's why for every mod car I make, I still steal that texture from Kunos
"High Power Power Pack and Low Power Power Pack" always makes me smile
Imo Fanatec should quickly make 2 full wheel and pedals bundles: one is the absolute cheapest and the other is the full experience. Millions of people have never heard about Fanatec or DD and they are still buying the one solution Logitech only for the piece of mind.
Yup. Everybody just goes for Logitech as a beginner...
logitech is probably the best place to start as a beginner tbf.. it was my first wheel as well 😅
In theory the Csl DD PRO will come with the DD, pedals and an ugly wheel created by Gran turismo ppl.
Agree. For a newbie it' quite tricky to undertand the eco system.
Just make a csl dd bundle.
@@EndureRacing Most beginners will go for the cheapest option. Especially if they've never tried a wheel before. That's how I did it as well. For someone who didn't know anything about wheels, the ease of the G29 bundle was what I liked. And it was cheaper than a bunch of other options. I wasn't about to spend $600+ on a hobby I wasn't even sure I would like. Though, I probably should have gone with a lower end TM set.
Then after about a year with the G29 and familiarizing myself with more aspects of simracing, I made the decision to go all in and buy a Fanatec setup.
Can't wait to play the Lawn Mowing Simulator with this Wheel
Budget DD was the dream of Wiiliam March from Sim Racing Paddok.
Love your review style!
Look like Fanatec is on to a winner.
Excellent review mate, ordered the dd with boost power supply, and McLaren GT3 rim! Really looking forward to using it!👌
Pre ordered mine so glad it turned out good ....hopefully some longer term use reviews will be good news
Same pleased I took the jump on release of the CSL DD as watching all the reviews and the good feed back about it's going to be a good upgrade from my G29 😀☕☕☕☕
8NM?
@@christopheroconnor4665 yes had a feeling it wouldn't be so good without the boost kit
Lol, informative and funny. You are my favorite reviewer. Keep up the good work
Oh man cant wait, ordered mine at 2nd wave. Cheers.
I love your reviews, had a great laugh while learning about the product 😂👍 Keep it up
Love the googly eyes LOL!! 😮😮 p.s. I have bad tinnitus so couldn't detect the audio issue - bonus 😜
I love your videos very informative with twist of comedy!
Mentions being able to feel TRACK surface, drives on the grass (7:55) . Classic GM moment LOL. Awesome review once again man, you're way of making these videos is unique🙌
Ordered mine back in June, it will finally arrive in October. Will be a very welcomed upgrade from my logitech haha.
I did the same. I'm sad to see my g29 go... So many memories..
I did the same. Most of it is already here. Just waiting on the base itself & the power pack to ship. Shows first week of Sept currently. Hoping it shows up on time! Shipping to the states takes a bit of time. Especially if your on the east coast.
Cheers GM, I should have access to one in October, looking forward to testing out this DD malarkey. :)
It's nearly January now... so how was it?
This video is hilarious, I am subscribing right away!
Decided it was finally time to upgrade from my 11 year old g27. I cannot wait. Especially with the v3 pedals!
Thanks for the review. Great channel by the way.
Love your work! As always a great vid.
I honestly dont know what Thrustmaster were thinking with that TGT2 pricing. I mean surely they can't be that unaware of what fantec is doing price wise? Csl DD is a far superior product.
I think Fanatec took the market completely by surprise with the CSL DD. The big manufacturers probably thought DD would always be high-end exclusive products, out of reach for regular consumers. It could take Thrustmaster and Logitech years to catch up.
Its very simple: Fanatec will not be able to sell this in any real numbers until well into 2022. So guess what people will be buying until then...
Yeah, I think so, too. They try to milk the PlayStation Boys as much as they can, to maybe finance their own DD development.
@@808GT i would honestly wait
Thrustmaster is French, explains everything
Lol - your commentary style had me chuckling aloud on more than a few occasions, love it.
“…slow release, which is good in the bedroom…”, 😂
But in all seriousness, a well conceived and delivered video that cuts straight to the heart of matters, while being informative and objective at the same time.
Subbed ✌️
GREAT video!!
Just spent my first full evening with my DD Pro and CSL Pedals LC setup. It is bloody superb. The upgrade from my T300 is off the charts.
did you get the 5 or the 8nm? im contemplating the same upgrade but i really dont want to buy the overpriced power supply if i dont have to
@@AC-wl7ve 8Nm. I was never interested in using a motor rated for 8Nm being forced into a low power state. The lower power inevitably takes the motor out of its sweet spot and will hurt the experience beyond just the 5 vs 8Nm number.
Awesome content! 🤘🏻
I've been on my Logitech G920 for over 2 years now. Bought it all used. After potentiometer replacements, wheel swaps, spring upgrades & everything else I've modded on it...I'm ready for the upgrade. My shipment (base + HP power pack) should be here first week of Sept. Keeping my🤞it shows up on time. Pedals & McLaren GT3 wheel have been here for a couple weeks already. Love the content GM! Keep it up mate 👊
Congrats. I have the McLaren GT3 V2 and love it. Thinking about upgrading my Elite 1.1 for the DD
When did you place your pre-order? I placed it yesterday after making an account and subscribing to the newsletter and kinda hoped to get it in the 2nd wave, but have to wait till november 23th. It sucks I have to wait for 3 more months, but also gives me more time to save for a wheel and pedals, because I don't have enough money yet.
@@MrMikap74 I actually ordered the 8 Nm one last night. Because i am an existing customer from when i bought the Elite, it should be available Nov 8th for me. This is gonna be torture as i am NOT a patient man!!!. I would recommend the McLaren GT3 V2 if you are ok with formula wheels, VERY good value for money ($200). The V3 pedals ($360) I would also highly recommend over the CSL pedals if you can do it. Either way I'm excited for us both! 😁
@@ianjackson4011 I thought existing customers would recieve their units already in september, but maybe I got it wrong. English is not my main language. I am doubting between the McLaren V2 wheel or the WRC elite wheel. I think the McLaren is better, but the WRC more allround. To be honest my budget is limited and I have always liked the look of the CLS elite pedals. I hope time flies for the both of us.
@@MrMikap74 I hope it does too. My original wheel is the P1 which is basically the same as the WRC without the plastic quick release and some aesthetics. It's a pretty nice wheel, but I just had to get the GT3 V2 when it came out and have used it since. One thing i like with that wheel (P1) is the wheel itself, in the grip, has movement and with the new DD you're (We're) gonna feel that a lot more. I'm excited....but 3 MONTHS!! lolol
the best review so far, humorous but also substantive. By the way ... if you have both versions, maybe some competition to get one of them? : D I would love to see the difference to my T300
dude theres a constant 18k hz whistle on this video driving me crazy
Just counter whistle at 18khz
@@GamerMuscleVideos yeah I can also hear this.. its not nice :(
Ahh yes! I just happen to load this video up through my studio monitors... ouch
@@GamerMuscleVideos Unreal.
i wanted to watch the video. not anymore :'/
For the price this is gonna be for a dd setup its gonna take over surely, ill be buying one.
Great video gamer muscle like when you talked about the benfits of the dd base you said it really fast and sounded like the uk radio ads that you normally here haha was quite funny but got this bad boy on order myself 8nm power power pack never owned one before so look forward to getting it combined that with a formula v2 rim the one you showed off along with the new pedals that are coming out and the advanced paddle module too moving up from a 920 had that for about 2 years now so due for an upgrade not long to go now until release month had it on order since june :D And hopefully all goes on ok on my playseat standard evolution rig i have the silver one
Top thumbnail, saved me watching the video 👍🏻
Genuine thanks, GM (no stirring this time ; ) - cos honestly - as a person that has to accept that they are on the LOWER END of the earnings scale, I always thought that the Logitech GXYZ Series was my only choice. But after this great Review, if I save hard enough - then this is a realistic option to improve my current setup. I just have to hope that FANATEC offer some nice "bundles' with this particular DD kit, over time... [:]-)
@@halfbreed02 well, sim racing "at the fanatec level" does get more expensive, your not inclined to spend that much. Fanatec is the only company with a dd wheel around these specs so they can basically choose the price if you know what I mean.
csl dd basically thrashed whole mid range wheelbase market. I was aiming at osw or csl elite for some time, but i spent lots on my pc upgrades recently, so happy i didnt, and now i will be able to go straight from my t150 wheelbase to this one :)
Same here. Buy a 8020 rig and you’ll be set for life lol
@@MissedApproachMagpie i dont have much space, so my gt omega apex is perfect for me :)
Nah man thrustmaster would still be mid range king, because Fanatec still won't fking ship to asia
Awesome dude! Hopefully you bought the 8NM
@@christopheroconnor4665 yeah, i havent bought it yet, im going to when its available, no preorders :)
I personally would use the locking pin on any and all wheels as this should reduce any wear and tear on the quick release mechanism and therefore prolonging the life of both wheel and base !
agreed, besides it's no issue for me, I am turning wrenches all the time and have tools no big thang.
Thanks for the video
Man, the QR issue is a serious bummer, especially considering it's, by now, a piece of machinery they should've mastered. Also, it seems like it's not just a GamerMuscle issue, as several other reviewers have pointed the same issue out.
Used your affiliate link to buy the DD to support your amazing dream, seriously!
Really enjoyed the use of the best word in the dictionary.....SHAFT
Great vid!! In the video, on the left, what brand is that button box?
earned my sub and like funny vid and good info thanks :)
if i was new to sim racing i would get this , plus you will get most of your money back and more enjoyable experience
Mines on order and can’t wait I’ve ordered with boost pack and I have already purchased clubsport V2 wheel. Think I’ll order the lighter mclaren wheel to compare.
This will replace my logi tech g920. Can’t wait to feel the difference!!!
thanks for the video :)
Great review GM as always. Only issue here in South Africa $349 = R15000 at advertised prices locally. I am gobsmacked at that price, it's 3X times the exchange rate. Will have to stick to the old Logitechs and Thrustmasters
Plus you only have like 4 hours a day you can play. With all the loadshedding I don't know how you can sim race 🤣
Great review as usual Tea Bags! I wonder if my DD1 Power Pack would work with the Standard "Lower Power Power Pack" DD CSL Base? I wouldn't mind one as a spare.
I'd probably not try mixing power supplys with devices , might end up with an expensive firework display.
Can definitely confirm that MY CSW v2.5 has the same play in the ''quick release''
thanks great video
Great review - any additional details regarding when the CS DDL for Playstation will be available?
Proper content.
Nice one GM!
Nice , what I like to hear .
I hope they make a bundle which includes the base, a wheel rim and pedals. The desk clamp should be included as well
Boy am I glad to tell you…
@@jayralta4735 And am I glad to see your comment. The price seems good as well considering that it's direct drive.
@@brzo. I didn't. I thought about it but then I realized that I don't play sim racing games that often and getting it would probably end up being a waste of money.
That sticker on the shaft. Come on Fanatec!
Using the "High-Power PowerPack" I get a very notable thud-like noise, when changing directions with the McLaren V2 rim. So there is some play in the rotational axis. The QR1 (as shown in this video) does that too, but not, when the sercuring screw is in. So what I had to do was, throwing another 100€ at fanatec for a QR1. After having experienced snapped pins on the McLaren V2, I felt, this was my only option. Well played fanatec. Well played.
Use an hair drier (no pun intended 😄) to heat up the glue in the sticker (or adhesive stickers in general) and it will come off easily without leaving any mark or residue 😉 thanks for the review, informative and right on point as per usual! Other reviewers get lost in enthusiastically praising products without really focusing or even stressing the eventual downsides or sometimes flaws they have. To me that makes a review completely useless. An honest review is useful to the viewer to have a genuine overlook, and to the manufacturer to know where the product needs perfecting to make it even better. Keep ‘em coming
Hair dryers are for women and Fanatec should just use vinyl-stickers instead.
You think GM has a hair dryer?!
@golden I´m not trying that mate!
@golden WD40 is also a good choice
As soon as the PS4/5 compatible version is available to order I'm on it.
Its coming i do believe man
I did see a leaked photo of PS4/5 version although I have no clue when that will be available. Rim looks similar to the Thrustmaster TGTII rim which I’m just not a fan of… but then again, I’m still on a T150 so I’m sure I’d be thrilled to own it 😀
The drive hub would make it work on console, I use my Clubsport wheel in Pc mode across PS3/PS4/360/series x. Also lets you use ialogs hand brake or thrust master shifter on consoles with fanatec wheels. Super useful.
Hi there. Which wheel are you using? It looks great! Regards, Gernot
Teabags Inbound. I took the plunge DDeeper into the life of Balding Misery. Now just have to wait till November to feel my very first DD Girl
Perfect review…
will you be posting videos with your ffb settings? I think that would be very hel;pful to the community.
Ruined my life today.
Bought a kit with the CSL DD, Pedals, Wheel and Rig.
My bank acccount has suffered today.
Cant wait to get it. The availability date is now January 2nd...
The wait will be hell.
cant wait to upgrade from my g27 i think its time and this is a perfect upgrade will have to wait awhile coz theyre gunna be sold out straight away
I wonder if I can keep my G27 pedals while using this new direct drive wheel? For example, I could have my G27 pedals connected to the G27 wheelbase and leave that wheelbase sitting on the floor out of the way, and in-game just move the direct drive wheel when assigning the controls, and move the G27 pedals. Or will I have to buy new pedals just because I'm upgrading my wheel?
Am at the moment looking to get into sim racing.
I am not sure if I want to mount to my desk or buy a playseat challenge. But because I want the DD base I am leaning more towards the desk mount.
Question do you have any issues using the chair with the pedals? Like sliding away because of the wheels on the chair?
A T150 and a T300 gather dust in my storage room, and the CSL Elite will get there too in september. :)
are you in the usa? looking to buy a used t300 lol.
@@techbuildspcs Hungary, sorry... :)
@@lowfastracing All good, have a good day!
Thanks for the thorough review. I'm new to sim racing but a gamer for life. I ordered this when it came up for preorder. I get it in November along with a hub, wheel, pedals.
I just got a next level gt track rig and a g293 while I wait. Thing is though it's going to be hooked ip to my series x as my pc is too weak. I was really hoping it was plug and play. Is there a way to update it on the Xbox?
I think you can only update it on PC , im sure it should all work out the box with xbox even without updating.
@@GamerMuscleVideos great thanks
I wonder if Fanate will make a Podium QR1 Base side thats compatible with the CSL DD, or mage an updated QR1 base side with the rubber o ring thats on the CSW v2.5?
Just letting you know that there is some sort of high pitched frequency coming from the entire video wherever there is sound. Im not sure if it is coming from your microphone or editing software, but it made me unable to continue watching as I was getting a headache. I double checked another video and it was fine so it does seem to be the video. Just a heads up, overall what I watched the video seemed great.
Its possible that some people may not be able to even hear the frequency due to the pitch, so if you don't notice it maybe that's why.
So it seems everyone who reviewed it agrees, the only that remains is to gather the moneys and order it to upgrade from the DFGT finally. Hopefully it will shave a second or two from my pace in powerful cars and maybe a couple of tenths on the MX5
pedals before wheel, if you arent doing both
@@jamesmccaul2945 it's a matter of confidence in high powered cars as i don't feel exactly what the car is doing i cannot push to the limit, unlike the mx5 which i do push on the limit hence only a tenth or two
@@Dylan-180 i have changed the pedals a few months ago, t3clm, before that it was impossible to drive GT3 cars, now I can drive them but not on the limit
I'm waiting to see if Thrustmaster will bring a dd base out, though I could be along time waiting as there is no news on the horizon. There beginning to fall back here. Fanatec are throwing their name everywhere, advertising hard at all the top motorsports events
Hi, how do you mount the CSL DD onto your rig using their original t-nuts, without the CSL DD sliding along its t-nuts rail?
thinking of getting one for christmas, along with the WRC wheel because cheapskate. would the Boost pack be worth it? upgrading from a 4 year old Thrustmaster TMX
From this day on, I will forever refer to power supplies as "High Power Power Packs" or "Low Power Power Packs" based on their wattage. Legendary 😂
@GamerMuscleVideos
Thanks for the video. This is the highlight of youtube for me today. The only problem is the fact you keep shaving the chimp and putting him on the screen.
Tea for life
3:12 - "dis-play" nice nod to Barry :D
You had me at the last pro “100% attractive to Eastern European women”. Sold! Haha. Love the humor.
would it be safe to use the simplified QR adapter with the CSL DD boost kit, or would I have to go for the more expensive QR adapter?
Really want one, but I need it to work with PS5 and PC ( and series X as well, but not as important). Or at least work with my DriveHub on ps5, like my t300 with csl elite lc pedals
I would throw out my t300 setup if I could buy the base+lc pedals and rim. Perfect upgrade bundle...but will they?
Do you know why the load cell pedal for the new csl pedals set is not available? Thankyou!
Hello. I am looking for a long term build and was wondering if the CSL DD is right for me, if if the 8nM is going to be too low. I have the F-GT Elite front and side mount cockpit with the ES1 Elite Seat. I have the following on order and I am wondering if for the price, I can get a better product. Currently on order I have the Fanatec V3 pedals, Clubsport Formula V2.5X wheel, advanced podium F1 paddles and the CSL DD. It came to around $2,000 CDN, so for the price I am wondering if there is a better set of wheel/DD and pedals I should go with. Willing to spend a little more if it's a big improvement in what I am getting. Your help is appreciated.
Will be getting this one once my Thrustmaster TX dies.
Was that a production model? Or a prototype? I’m waiting for installment of my unit and having it wiggling on a quick release would be a real disappointment…
Does the rim that come with the CSL Elite PS4 work on the DD? Can I just buy the base if I already have that rim? Thanks for the review, GM!
It works with all the current fanatec wheel rims. So yes will work with your PS4 CSLE rim 👍
Great review, two questions. Any updates on the delivery schedule and what’s the flex on table clamp like?
Updates will be on the website or fanatec blog thats best place to follow, as for table clamp I found it works alright it does flex a bit but not in a way that's really an issue I think generally if a person is spending more than 350 on a wheel then they probably would want a nice wheel stand or simrig to really get the most out of it anyway.
@@GamerMuscleVideos yeah okay :)
Not enough space for a rig...
@@nanoverse indeed
@Gamermusclevideos are you sure this wasn't a CSL DD advert? Especially that super fast reading of which I didn't understand a word 🤣🤣(like the usual terms and conditions). Good vid though
Funny guy, love him and sim sarcasm!
I perceive the topic of rotating mass/inertia as fancy marketing (and as such, nonsense). It would make sense if the rim was free to spin but under normal conditions, the rim isn’t free spinning because it’s being held firmly in your hands. It means the FFB is felt by the resistance of your hands & arms. I could understand this argument if max torque were at Logitech levels. Moment of inertia is the engineering/physics term. The DD CSL has ample torque, even for rims with high moments of inertia (layman wording; heavy steering wheels).
1 you don't always hold firmly onto a wheel
2 you can literally feel the servo motor more with the lighter wheel rims ( as well as smaller diameter wheel rims obvously)
3 8nm is really quite week on the grand scheme of things from me experience you need at least 14+NM to make the wight difference between the fanatec rims effectively irrelivent to how that then effects the FFB feeling.
I have litrally used every wheel rim on the market with tons of DD wheels for different companies this is not some hyperthtical thing.
Hi would you get the DD OR MOZA R9 . Cheers james
Went for the thrustmaster ts-pc, only reason behind the decision is that the thrustmaster is available😅
Being a CSWv2 owner and not able to spend $2000aud on a DD1 I really hope Fanatec make a 9nm low power DD with 12nm boost kit soon at around $1200aud for the 12nm.
Can the base be inverted in the software and mounted to the underside of a desk?
does the csl dd have a rotation limit so like the new logitech pro has 1080 wheel rotation limit due to force feedback cables
Nice review, I notice the driver is 406 also the interface is different, how you got that one? on the website only goes to 402?
Its a new driver that will come out when CSL DD's are delivered
@@GamerMuscleVideos oh i see, nice!!! Thanks James.
The forums have beta drivers.
Hey Gamer muscle. Would it be recommended that I use the 8NM DD on a desk with full torque or would I have to turn it down?
On Boosted media they recommend 5nm on desk.
Never experienced SIM racing on a pc before. Just ordered the CSL DD pro with the 8nm pack, McLaren GT3 wheel, deciding on pedals and will get the wrc wheel you're showing at the end for rallying. Haven't a clue what to expect but from watching reviews it looks promising. Any recommendations on pedals? I like the clubsport v3s but I dont need a clutch as I'm not going for a shifter.
Any advice welcome, thanks.
Just get the fanatec CSL pedals cheap and work great you can then upgrade the loadcell for a clutch if you ever want to drive stick.
@@GamerMuscleVideos Thankyou. Just looked and they're not available until the end of march on their webpage unfortunately. But the V3 are available right now 😅.
This is more than enough wheel for my needs. I don't sim race but would prefer a wheel over mouse/keyboard or controller options. Looking to use with games like Forza Horizon, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Sim 2, American Truck Sim. Would be great if able to use when driving in GTA Online too but not sure if supported. Then further down the road (pun intended) if I decide to play AC or Project Cars I'd still have a decent wheel.
forza horizon is terrible with a wheel, the youtubers you see using a wheel have spent hours practicing, learning how to drive wrong just so they can use a wheel in forza horizon on youtube for views etc. maybe/ hopefully forza horizon 5 will have better wheel support/ physics/ ffb. but i wouldnt count on it, its an arcade game and those usually dont play nicely with wheels. i have a wheel (only a g29) but i always use a gamepad when playing forza horizon.
@@socks2441 ah good so it's not just me then XD kept messing with the settings for ages and I just couldn't figure it out for the life of me...
@@zwenkwiel816 same, i spent hours trying all the settings to see if any of them made it feel playable. i didnt succeed, so gamepad it is for horizon games.
Did you also encounter the QR issues with the pre-production unit?
No , only had one wheel rim to use with that as well. I mean it works fine with the screw but as i said in the video I'd rather not have to use a screw , be intresting to see what the QR2 is like, just suprising given how well the CSL QR works with it.
mine didn't have the annoying sticker on it, I also noticed the power brick for the csw 2.5 and the boosted csl DD are the same except for the plug; kind of lame since I own both. CSL DD is so much better than my csw 2.5, its just so crisp
Could you use Driving Force GT Pedals with this wheel (I know that the pedals are the worst part of an already old wheel), but I would rather spend less.
I went the high power power pack over the low power power pack as I have a V2.5 and I think the high power power pack will be more representative over the low power power pack, it also makes you think if they will ever do a higher power power pack to gain more NM....
I can confirm there will never be a Higher Power Power Pack for the CSL DD. Only the Low Power Power Pack and High Power Power Pack.
