The 8Nm makes a big difference. You will be happy with the upgrade! Congrats on your new setup!
Thank you so much! Everything I will do to improve the setup I will upload here and I will give my honest feedback about!
Yes definitely a very decent setup. I had gt dd but upgraded to clubsport dd
I just saw at the fanatec lab the 8nm power source only makes 4.8nm
And if i put the 5nm power suply only makes 3.6nm wtf!!!! I really feelt a decreasing of the power in the 8nm bosst kit over time like its to powelful and little by little almost no force at all and i mesure it 4.8nm bost kit and the iriginal 3.6nm...
Amazing first full review! Love the energy and the balanced viewpoint! ❤
I know it can be underwhelming coming from more powerful base and better pedals but hopefully the future upgrades (loadcell and booster kit) make all the difference🤞
Looking forward to the next one! ❤
Thank you! I was as honest as I could!
you never seen boosted media ... this is just a review for views .. jump on the bandwagon.
@@BelgianSimRacing what bandwagon.. the wheel is on the market for 2 years 🤣
youtube algorithm gods brought me here , the most honest and un bias review ever seen , its soooo refreshing seen a real honest opinion on YT
I’m glad you enjoyed! Thank you ☺️
Been waiting almost 2 weeks for mine to ship. Cant imagine how happy you are to finally get yours. Hope your enjoying it.
Hello! I hope you’ll get yours soon! Thank you ☺️
From personal experience. You spend way more by buying cheaper ,and then wanting to upgrade . Dont do my mistake by doing that .. if your budget permits … buy once cry once
😂😂 too late, I already did the mistake. But I get it now 😂😂
@@riftblondie just don’t repeat the mistake like i did multiple times 😂
@@zeekot4064 seems like we never learn the lesson 😂😂😂
ikr.. clubsport RS is 300$ thats include QR1😂 with better shifter, and 2cm bigger
100$ difference is a bargain
as for pedals, u did the right choice. u can upgrade it to loadcell anytime,
handbrake is a must but only if u do drifting and rally, good choice.. but becarefull though its cheap sensor.. it will break 1-2years depends how often or how rough u use it (loadcell ones is better)
I got the handbrake for WRC, so I totally agree with that!
its crazy how you only have 500 subs we need to get her to 1k
Hi! I appreciate so much your comment, thank you ☺️
The wheel looks great !Hope you enjoy it and also great video as always
Thank you! I am slowly getting used to it!
Professional unboxing& cutscenes hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Melisa!! 🔥
Congrats on the setup! Your video was very entertaining. I too ordered on black Friday and am now waiting for my csl dd to come 😁
Thank you so much! I hope you will enjoy your new wheel ‘cuz it’s not a bad one ☺️
@@riftblondie For sure! I watched some WRC videos and they are good but maybe you can try and do POV style? If not it's good to keep the steering wheel of the in-game car on the screen for the viewers
@@atem8101 POV videos coming soon!!
That's amazing!!! All the complete unboxing for the wheel is pretty cool.
The handbrake is nice and also helpful, but I'm gonna say that the pedals it would still with 3 pedals as ussual, because without the clutch, it not the same and later it notices that is missing, more about when you're gonna start a race for example.
But the wheel is amazing, I like it!!
Hope you could enjoy with that and have so much fun!! 😊
Clutch isn't needed for now 'cuz she still doesn't have H-pattern shifter, but when she upgrades to a loadcell, the brake will become a clutch, so she would be ready for a shifter too 😊
@@MrRoko91 Oooh okay! Now got it, just in case it was my pov 😅
Thanks for the tips and tricks! Will definitely upgrade the pedals a bit later!
Fantastic. Great set-up 🔥🏁
Thank you!! 🙌🏼
Love the passion. Enjoy the racing!
Hi, thank you! ☺️
My mistake was upgrading g27 to t300. I should have gone Simucube right away instead. Good thing resale value is decent for sim gear! Great video!
😂😂😂 I might go to Simucube also as I still have two kidneys left 😂😂
@@riftblondie 🤣 oh no lol
Very good unboxing and review. Actually i still play with the G29, but planning to switch to a DD Wheelbase. I tend for the new Clubsport DD+.
Thank you! Go for it, you will feel the difference!! And it’s worth upgrading
Just seen your video, I received my GT DD Pro 8nm 2 weeks ago, definitely the best upgrade I could do from my previous T300RS 😍
Also got the handbrake as you
Hi! Enjoy your new racing setup!! ☺️
From the shorts and videos I see that previously you has TS-XW base, T-LCM pedals (am I wrong?)... In this case even 8Nm CSL DD can give you a wheel speed with a much quicker feedback. But 30cm wheel definitely will kill big part of this feedback. If you a rally girl - then fine. But a regular racing - for this base the small Formula wheel is the only option, to get the most of the base. But then almost forget about Rally, Euro Truck Sim.
Actually, exactly in your case, I'd rather recommend to get a Thrustmaster T818 base + a new quick release head for your previous wheel. That definitely will give you much more out of the box than 5nm CSL DD. With almost no disappointment for sure. Because wheel and pedals was fine already.
But anyway - Welcome to the Fanatec family! Hopefully LC + Boost Kit will make you much happier! :) See you on the Twitch!
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to explain! My wheelbase was failing that’s why I upgraded to a Direct Drive! I have to say I did get used to the wheel for now and I do hope the upgrades will make it a bit better ☺️
If you know someone with DIY confidence you can build the booster pack for this. All it is, is a more powerful power box....can be built VERY cheap with parts off of amazon. The one from fanatec is a huge rip off! the 8nm does make a pretty big difference. shoulda got Elite v2 pedals. not much more yet MUCH better. Also look into getting your damper setup in game and ALSO on the wheel base. Typically I run 25ish in game and 15-18 on the wheel base with the friction on wheel base around 10-15 too. Try those with lower damper in game. Makes things feel more snappy and sensitive. The wheel you got over what you had, is a much better base....you just need time to dial it in is all....and once you add booster pack THEN you'll be in a MUCH better base. Enjoy the CSL DD! Happy racing!
Hi! Thank you so much for the help ☺️
For the pedals I used the TLCMs that I had from Thrustmaster and for the whole bundle, I have upgraded it to something more powerful.
New video of that coming soon 😉
The setup you had before was pretty awesome already, I would maintain the Thrustmaster pedals I think they are better than the ones that came with the wheel, anyways good insight, will be waiting for the new uploads. Have fun!
Hi! Thank you, I am using them for now until I will afford to upgrade! ☺️
thanks for this video, im happy i went for the 8nm and will be looking to get the v2 as my next upgrade then i will look into the wheels. will use the standard wheel to get a hang of racing sim then will dive in the wheel pool for some laps.
You’re very welcome, I’m glad I could help! ☺️
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy. I’m saving for Fanatec and hopefully will buy sometime next year. Wish I started sim racing years ago. I been gaming since the 90’s always loved racing games and never thought about buying a wheel and I can’t remember what made me buy my wheel in 2020. I guess I watched a review for racing game and reviewer probably had a wheel. I genuinely get panicky when I think about the thought that I only randomly got a wheel and the thought of not being able to race in my bedroom, don’t bare thinking about. It just gives pure joy. I loved gaming as a kid but when left school, I started work and fell out with gaming. I tried to get back into it as adult and I have fun with the odd game but sim racing is just a pure joyful passion.
It took me 22 years to find out that I like gaming! It’s never too late to do what you like ☺️ the setup that I have right now it took me almost two years to build, little by little
@@riftblondie Your setup looks really great. I plan to get a cockpit like yours when I get my Fanatec gear. Gt Omega Prime. I have everything I need decided to buy from Fanatec but the only thing I’m unsure about, is what strength wheelbase to get for Ps5. There’s 5NM 8NM or 15NM. I leaning towards the gt dd pro 8Nm wheelbase. Reason I’m undecided is because if I buy 15NM wheelbase for £1000 but only have it set to less then 8Nm I’ll feel annoyed but I’ll also be annoyed if I buy 8Nm and need more. I don’t think I will need more but I’m not sure if the new 15NM Fanatec wheelbase does anything that the others don’t. Anyway hope you enjoy your new toys 👍
@@riftblondie oh, can I ask, what made you think about and decide to buy racing setup? Im guessing you probably see TH-camrs using or have sim racing friends?
@@grahamkelly8662 I got into watching Formula 1 in real life and I have a passion for driving fast which would not be sustainable 😂 so a few years ago I tried a Logitech G29 and I really liked it, thing that led me to invest into simracing 😊 ( my advice would be not to go under 8NM, but if you have a chance to test it at a friend’s house or something, do it because you really need to feel the difference before you buy it)
@@riftblondie ah, you saying about you driving fast, in real life, not being a good idea, reminded me of September 2022. I popped out on my e scooter, 1 morning, to go to a bakery, knowing the good stuff would be sold out but I went in hope. Nothing was left, I rolled past at 12mph and ended up crashing. I usually ride at 25-30mph and the 1 time I’m slow, I crash. 😭
And yeh, trying wheelbase would be great but nobody I know, is into sim racing.
Oh and yeh, I’ll probably go 8Nm or 15.
Just a heads up, if you plan to buy gear stick shifter, Fanatec have a regular version and a sequential shifter. I don’t drive in real life so I’ll make sure I buy sequential, to make it easier and I mainly play dirt and Wrc rally and you constantly shifting, so it will make life easier. 👍
I'm also using CSL pedal + the load cell brake pedal, and I would 1000% recommend to upgrade it with a 3rd party mod.
The one that I'm using is from Race Sim Engineering, and it is absolutely fantastic mod! there are some review videos around if you want to check it out
Have fun with the new setup!
That’s exactly what I’m doing right now! Using my TLCM pedals, but in the future who knows, maybe I will be able to afford some high-end ones
Just be aware that the loadcell upgrade to the csl has a lot of resistance/little travel. It's very different to the TLCM. The polymer "spring" can be changed with third party polymer, but I haven't tried that. I upgraded from csl to the csl elite now during black week sale, and I like it better (not so firm, more travel if you want)
@@petedechop thank you for letting me know!
I upgraded to the CSL DD from a G923, and the silence is great, love all aspect of it, apart from i do miss True Force, when going to a wheel without it you can really tell the difference
Hi! I felt the same, but eventually you get used to it
I have a G920, what's True Force n how does it work?
Huh? A direct drive is 100x better than a gear driven wheel, you probably need to play with your settings a little.
@@notsydew yea the 9nm one that i have right now is clearly better, the 5nm one was not enough.. it`s all about preferences :)
@@riftblondie a G29/920 is 2.8NM of force and it's also using a gear which loses even more feedback, so even the 5nm DD is 100x better in terms of ffb that's why I asked, the difference should be day and night I don't see anything to miss about having a Logitech.
CDL DD user here, went straight to 8nm from the beginning, the extra 3nm of range makes quite a big difference.
also I was a TLCM user for quite a while, went to Asetek Forte Loadcell pedals 12 months ago and they felt like a good step up in quality, the brake pedal is also quite a bit heavier as standard but can be adjusted (very easily, no tools required and no need to take them off the rig)
I’m glad you’re enjoying your setup! I heard a lot of good things about Asetek, but for me at the moment it’s a bit too expensive to try.
Dont get the load cell for the pedal you already have, it is trash. Get the Elite v2 pedals :) And if you like your old pedals you can just connect them, since you are on pc :)
Hi! I am actually using the TLCMs ☺️ will keep that in mind!
I got the load cell pedal a bit back, it took a bit getting used to, always having the full range and no resistance. It's neat.
I just ordered that Handbrake last week as well, waiting for it. Been using my old thrust master shifter in sequential mode to handbrake - but some games don't let me rebind that shifter as a handbrake. So this was a must have upgrade for me.
As for experience with fanatec -gt dd pro- it's a hit or miss. Games requiring me to switch to a compatibility mode or manually setting the inputs. Mildly underwhelming, but fun all the same.
Nice video, Subbed. My only feedback would be the sound is a bit low. Not sure if a setting on the rode needs to be adjusted. Great video :)
Thank you so much! Will work on that, appreciate the feedback 😊
Yes !! Definitly!! Fanatec is the best ecosystem and upgradable wheels. GP to racing ❤
I think it might be 😊
Was just checking out the Ultimate sim racing wheel chart and if you own the TS XW which is apprently 6.4 NM then that could be the let down?
idk if some would consider the t300(3.9 NM) a somewhat mid higher tier belt, but i wonder if its still substantial to upgrade to CSL 5NM DD. Thats the boat im in...
Also another factor is TM doesnt measure their wheels with NM so this is all community driven research. I hope the DD 5nm can still produce most of the same feelings(worried i might miss TM "canned" effects) and if its a little faster spin wise thats great cus i wanna drift.
You should check other Reviews before your next buy, because I think the CSL Loadcell Upgrade could be the next "mistake" you do. Espacially if you own the Thrustmaster LC Pedals already.
Hi! I installed the TLCMs with the base already and I think the next pedal upgrade is going to be the full set, and you are totally right
is that the gt omega prime cockpit? i get the same one. also the boost pack for fanatec is to much and people make their own for cheap im should you could find a video on it. i came from the t300 to the moza R9 the jump was crazy the dd was so smooth and the strength was crazy
Hi! Thank you! Yes, it is the GTOmega prime cockpit ☺️ it is REALLY comfortable right?
I hope you enjoy your wheel!!
nice review i got first the podium dd1 ps4 edition but i sell them for a dd gt base with 8nn kit and i like it more of the dd1 with 25nn i really happy that i make that choice ;)
Hi! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I hope to get the 8nm adapter soon :)
@@riftblondie Hi thanks for your response and yeah didn't notice a diffrent , cant wait to see your review of the 8nm adapter =)
Hi, congratulations for the review, I appreciated your sincerity
maybe your timing in the purchase wasn't the best, with black friday there was Boost Kit, CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit and pedals Tuning Kit at half price.
Unfortunately, to fully appreciate the quality of Fanatec products you must not make compromises otherwise you will not be completely satisfied.
Another upgrade that I recommend is to replace the plastic quick release of the steering wheel with the aluminum QR1, which is much more robust, precise and reliable.
Good fun
Hi! Thank you so much for the tips, the problem was that my Thrustmaster had some conflicts with EA Sports games where I would loose the feedback out of nowhere and when I decided to upgrade I was like a little kid😂 so I couldn’t wait until Black Friday even though I got this a week before😂
The 5nm in definitely enough if you are struggling to lift it out of the box 😂
😂😂😂 that’s what I thought too
The 5nm is the 8nm,it's just the power supply that makes it 8nm.
Ok atleast your honost i love that.... i also felt not thaat big diffrence coming from CSW V2.5 to DD csl and was disappointed
Thank you! I think that’s the main point, to be honest about your opinion
Can I ask, How are you gonna get those TM pedals to work with the new CSL wheel !?? as apparently they don't plug straight in to the wheel base..?
Hi! You just have to connect them separately to the pc and choose them for brake input in whatever game you’re playing ☺️ it did work for the little time I used them! ✌🏼
@riftblondie Only the newer games have that ability to see separate inputs, some of the older, Better sims don't....So I'm told.. can you confirm the piece of kit to convert from rj to USB please. ; )
@@puremad1 you don't need a kit, search for the direct cable ( rj/usb)
Should avoid the Fanatec handbrakes if you enjoy rallying, mine lasted less than 12 months and it wasn't abused either, they're not as robust as many of the other alternatives out there, I'm loving the Sim-labs loadcell handbrake at the moment, it's night and day in terms of overall difference in use and quality and overall end product, far higher quality then the Fanatec model for a couple of quid more...
I am still debating on what bundle to get moza r5 or fanatec csl dd. This would be my first sim (but I always loved seeing videos about it and watching reviews) at first I was debating on getting a logitec but knowing myself I would later want to update so I am saving up money, my biggest issue is reading all the problems fanatec and moza have with shipping (I dont want to order something and wait months to get it I am in the U.S btw). But seeing this video aswell as many more I am probably going for the csl dd because later on I can slowly update parts in the future. Thanks for the video and I wish you luck on YT.
Thank you so much! I don’t know exactly how it is in the US but here from Germany (Fanatec) to Romania it took 6 days to deliver and the cost was around 30$. From what I heard the taxes are also higher in US so you might need to do a bit of research on that also. I hope you’ll make the right decision☺️
@@riftblondie Hi , i want to buy one too , im from Slovakia , but they have 2 sites where they detect your ip and they know from where you are . When they detect me that im from Slovakia the Stock is out and there is only few options of wheels . But when you open it through anonymous tab the Stock is fully full 😅 the question is , from which fanatec site you ordered your wheel to Romania . Thank you 😊
@@haha9266 hello! I ordered from their official site! Check ready2go bundles, that’s where I got mine from :) I did have to wait because pedals were out of stock initially and later that day, they were back on stock again. Keep an eye on their website!
I use fanatec csl dd 8nm boost kit and also I upgraded to csl v2 load cell pedals they are absolutely fantastic compared to the csl pedals more control trail breaking etc. also use the McLaren gt3 v2 wheel. Currently awaiting for ClubSport 2.5 wheel and advanced paddle module just because McLaren wheel doesn’t have L2 or R2 buttons that are mappable on wheel and also for crisper gear shifting. Using prime lite gt omega rig and installed Trak racer side mount for CSL DD it’s absolutely solid. Considering I paid £700 for the base alone a year ago that’s a cracking deal you got.
Hi! First of all, amazing setup, enjoy! I do need to get the 8nm adapter but yes! It was a good deal :)
CSL DD 8nm or Moza R9 which one would you guys recommend and why? Thx
Hi! To be honest I have no clue how the Fanatec CSL DD of 8nm performs, but I do know about the R9. I can only tell you that I would totally recommend the R9 after having it for almost a month since it gives me what I wanted from a DD base, a true driving experience. If you have any more curiosities, you can check out my Moza review where you can find more details about everything ☺️
Did you got something from the blackfriday offers ?
I did not! I rushed and did not wait but I saw they had good deals
Just ordered my CSL DD. Coming from a TM T300 RS GT. Cant wait to get it. I think i need to order that 8nm power supply ASAP!
Hi! You might feel what I felt so if the basic one is not enough you might have to get the 8nm (but if you are disappointed at first, don’t worry it will get better)
8nm power supply ordered. Might as well. Its going to happen sooner or later 😅
@@garagefabroart Enjoy it! It will for sure be a difference in feeling 🙌🏼
I bought my CSL DD direct drive bundle with the WRC Wheel, which is also Xbox compatible. Also added the load cell brake pedal
I took a chance and bought the Alibaba 8nm power supply that was a direct plug-in. The cost was just over $50 shipped When I have my BMW M4 GT3 on the Nurburgring Ring, it sure gives me a workout!! Very good review for what you get for the money 😊
Oh I just ordered the Fanatec shifter on Black Friday and got it for a pretty good price
Hi, thank you so much! Enjoy your setup! ☺️ I can’t wait to get the 8nm adapter too
Hey could you sent me the Link to the 8nm upgrade kit from aliexpress? and is it holding up? thx
did it come with qr2 add on for the wheel?
Hi! For me it didn’t, I know it was supposed to have it, but seems like they forgot to send it 😂
Awsome ❤️❤️
Thank you!!
I still drive my G29 and, despite the fact that I'd like getting an upgrade, I also know that I should buy a better rig, which is pretty much out of my possibilities, at the moment, but still it was nice watching your review and hear your opinions about this kit.
P.S.: until you said that, I was wondering if you were from Italy (like me), Spain or Romania, because I recognised the similar accent, haha 😁
Hi! First of all thanks for the feedback! I totally understand you as my first ever rig was DIY made from wood and for me the rig was the first upgrade also!
OG 29🙌🙌 the wheel that got us all into simracing 😂
@@riftblondie cool! I love DIY, it helps a lot learning what you truly need. I made some modifications to my G29 and the sim rig, so that now it doesn't feel bad at all driving with it. :)
If I can just give you another piece of feedback, when you describe the cons of something, try making specific examples, so that the viewers can actually understand what you mean. For example, when you say that you need more feedback from the wheel, try saying where and how you feel the lack of it (running over a curb, over gravel, while hard braking, while sliding... Things like that and describing what you feel, or don't feel), so that whoever has a different wheel can better understand if that's good for them and those who already own one might give you advices about how to set it, to improve the feeling :)
@@user-iv8ck7lg1t the immortal piece of hardware 😂👍
magnetic shifter mod is badass
It’s on the list ☺️
Depending on the game/sim force feed back maybe different do to the software alone I would imagine.
That’s true!
It's why i never upgraded my fanatec csw 2.5 8nm belt driven wheel base to this one even the 8nm version as most people said it would be a very mild difference... but now I am thinking about that new one that comes with 12 or 15nm and some new tech in it but will probably wait until next years black friday as on this one got the formula wheel to play around with.
Hi! I think that’s the best decision! I heard that belt driven Fanatec is a pretty good base
I have the same base and it serves me well for more than 3 years. Not gonna upgrade until it eventually gives up 😄
I just made the move from cs 2.5 to cs dd 12nm. Should be interesting.
if u use this on Ps5 it can happend that the games says that the wheel is disconnected on Ea Sports wrc u can fix this issue to restart the base and the game don't know if this is a fanatec issue or ps5 .
Hi! I use it on pc, but maybe someone will find your comment useful, thanks! ☺️
@riftblondie no worries let me know if u get that issue too on pc 😉
The 8nm upgrade might change your opinion on it, I agree 5nm just isn't enough
Hi! I am looking forward buying it ☺️
Come back to us and tell us how it feels, compared to the Thrustmaster one. I just got this CSL DD one and it feels weird, when going over bumps and curves it feels like a very rough, hard, clunky hit in the wheel...it's not as smooth as I thought it would be.
It’s the exact same thing I felt! When I go over apexes it’s very clunky and the understeer effect is almost unnoticeable. I think it needs a bit more power to be more precise because the Thrustmaster that I had was a bit more powerful also.
@@riftblondie mine also has the 8nm boost pack. I do feel it in my shoulders when steering but something feels off...I don't know what, and tbh, I'm uncertain if that's how it should be or it's the base that has a defect.
Electrical tape on the grooved part of the shaft got rid of the clunk for me. 2 pieces right on the groove where wheel slides on.
about 6 months ago i bought a boost kit for $50 cad. (about 30 euros) and it works great great. also look around for a cheaper loadcell mod!
Hi! Thank you for the tip ☺️ I did some upgrades to the setup and I will post a new video about it today 🙌🏼
Pretty girl does sim racing; lots of wheel manufacturers will be sending goodies over for review soon haha
Subbed!
Hi! Thank you
🍻
Hi there and keep up, good work ! You really need to update to the 8nm power supply, its way better, and turn off from the fanatec driver the "not in game effects' (like wheel weight, etc). And watch your hands :))
Hi!! I am for sure going to upgrade in the near future and I can’t wait to try it! Did you feel a big difference after the upgrade?
Let’s hope I’ll keep my hands on the wheel if I crash 😂
@@riftblondie
If you want to try to get a little more details from the force feedback try this settings :
1: Fanatec pc app - Tuning menu
2: Select Setup 1. than Toggle Advance mode to ON
3: Select Setup 1 - Slide to OFF the next options:
Natural damper=off,
Natural Friction=off,
Natural inertia=off.
Those might help if you feel the force feedback kind of soft and or lifeless.
4: FFB interpolation filter set it maybe to 4. If you start to feel "dust" in the force feedback - than increase this option .
Also update the firmware of the wheel. Better connect the wheel to a USB 2.0 port on your PC if the updated is not going smooth.
@@scimitarkrieg thanks!! I’ve been doing some of these settings and I’m slowly adjusting. Always appreciated tips and tricks 💯
@@riftblondie The 8nm option is the way to go i thing. It gives the wheel a better level of vibrations. The 4nm have torque but is missing high accelerations that make the vibrations to feel more serious.
doresc sa comand acest produs dar pe site oficial fanatec , nu se poate alege Romania ca tara destinatar. tu de unde ai cumparat ? cum ai facut sa ai transport in Romania?
Bună! Eu le-am achiziționat de pe site-ul lor oficial. Am completat adresa și în maxim 2 săptămâni mi-a ajuns acasă cu FanCourier-ul
Multumesc pt raspuns
@@EHA1974 cu placere! ☺️
Hello , Iti recomand un upgrade la clamp si la quick release , cauta un clamp cu 2 suruburi ( ala cu un surub trebuie aliniat cu linia aia, e posibil sa se miste pe viitor si trebuie realiniat si conectat)
aftermarket si quick release mai ok de la fanatec, asta de plastic se poate rupe , also vezi ca e un kit de 8nm pe olx la un pret super bun , dar e de pe aliexpress
Bună! Am văzut și eu kit-ul ăla și nu știu ce să zic, prefer să aștept să iau de la ei original. Cat despre quick release, mulțumesc de sfaturi, o să văd ce găsesc 😊
Ich fahre auch momentan mit 5Nm und finde es nicht zu schwach, es hängt viel mit den Einstellung zusammen ob die richtig sind. Einfach anschließen und fahren funktioniert nicht immer. Ich werde später auch auf 8nm aufrüsten. Aber wenn du mit 5 mm 8 Stunden lang fährst dann weißt du was du gemacht hast.
The 8nm upgrade is a total different animal, I also came from a thrustmaster eco system and I gave it away cause I'm not going back lol. So get the 8 NM brick and I'll wait for that review when you can't talk cause you're to busy smiling.
I can’t wait to be able to post that review! I have high hopes from all I heard from all of you guys! Thanks!! 😊
I can confirm. The Boost kit makes a real big difference. If you haven't done so already: Use Fanalab to load recommended settings for each sim and they recommend ingame settings. Nice and easy, if you are like me who doesn't to spend too much time finding the right settings
Maybe a bit more power will improve the feeling overall. Great video anyway!
Thank you! I am almost 100% sure it will!
Ive spent 35 k on sim racing equipment. My advice is to Run! before it makes you poor ,like me :p
Omg! Let’s hope I will not end up selling a kidney or something 😂
chiar ma gandeam sa imi i au ready2race bundle cu clutch kit si shh shifter acum am o idee mult mai buna despre volan, multumesc!
Buna! Cu mare plăcere! ☺️
I hope you blow up. Nice video
Thank you so much! I hope too 😂😂😂
You're going to have some strong arms after this lol
Hi! The 5nm for me is actually not so strong 😂
Hello @@riftblondie , ahhh never mind lol, as soon as I started the video and began commenting I assumed that it was the 8nm. You can get the boost kit for it if the current nm is not enough. I will be getting the GT DD Pro (8nm) tomorrow (very hype) and looking forward to try all these Rally and GT type games.
@@sonyx5332 enjoy your wheel!! I hope you will have an amazing experience with it! ☺️☺️
@@riftblondie Likewise, thank you!
Just put a little bit lower the monitor, for better immersive 😉
Thank you for the tip! For the moment I raised a bit the wheelbase and I will try to lower the monitor also, because I want it to fit between the wheel and the base
@@riftblondie If you are new in sim racing, then i can highly recommend this video, from Daniel Morad who is a real GT4 driver, and professional sim racer. This video help to the correct seat position, reduce pain in your arms, etc. :)

Just come to tell you to continue, allways nice to see a pretty face with hands on a wheel, we need more girls showing their skills!!! Have a good racing days!!!
Hi! Thank you so much, for sure more content is about to come! ☺️
hi I hope you can put a camera in front of pedal, I want to learn pedal operation from you
Hi! I might do it for the streams!
@@riftblondie sorry i didn't see the pedal cam in stream, when will you plan to add it?
@@amyharu7913 😂😂 for the moment I don’t have a second camera
@@riftblondie i think you can do it by your phone, please inform me when you add it, thank you
Trust me a CSL DD 5nm with no load cell pedal vs a T300 with load cell isn't going to blow you away if you went straight to the 8nm version and got a load cell brake pedal you will be much more happy. I started out with a T300 GT then upgraded to a CSL DD 8nm and its a huge difference. I know you sound disappointed with it right now but trust me get that 8nm power supply and the load cell brake pedal and I'm sure you'll be much happier with it it absolutely blows away a T300.
You are right, I will definitely upgrade that in the future!
Does the 5NM still atleast feel on par or atleast a little better then t300? Mostly does the wheel spin as fast on 5nm. I just wanna drift on AC and had the t300 and loved it but i had to return it due to "ghost buttons". Also can csl dd produce most of the same feelings TM does? like im worried ill miss "canned" effects if thats even a thing.
Also it seems she had a TS PC or TS XW which is like 6.4nm. t300 is 3.9 but who knows they dont use NM to measure at TM and they use springs and other types of tension i assume to produce feelings.
@@gregwilhide9685 oh yeah 5nm is definitely still better than a T300 but I also drift and I think you'll find it significantly easier on a 8nm wheel the wheel spins much faster so it's easier to catch your drifts and you don't have to wait for the wheel to catch up to you if you know what I mean. 5nm is definitely a bit better than the T300 but I'd plan to upgrade to the 8nm down the line that makes a huge difference.
@@gregwilhide9685 Hi! From T300 to CSL DD it is ok, the 5NM misses some of the feelings, but it is not the worst either. In terms of power and feeling, for me it was under the TS XW and that’s why I only kept it for not even a month and I upgraded it.
@@riftblondie I figured it out, thanks to some research on reddit and ignoring most of the cringe sim racers on youtube(atleast they say the boost kit in mandatory but no one adressed the real problem). Fanatec is selling a power supply for 150$ because the racing community is retarded and will buy it.
The CSL DD with NO BOOST KIT = 5nm "peak" but its "Constant Forces" is 3.5nm and possibly lower.
With boost kit, its 8 "peak" but "constant forces" are 6.8 so when people say it feels like double its geuinely is almost exactly double the strength.
T300 = Can produce up to Constant forces up to 4.5 and possibly higher peaks. Even if its the unnofficial 3.9NM we have seen people say it is then it actually still Edges out the CSL 5nm DD.
So even t300 owners are downgrading if they go no boost kit route.
Should have gone for the new clubsport DD 12nm
I agree!
The problem is that I got this right before the Black Friday sales. But I will totally upgrade it in the future. Do you have that one? Can you give me a feedback?
@@riftblondie I have the Clubsport DD+ on pre order it's not realsesd till 12 Dec.. People have just started getting their DD version the 12nm this week. With these bases the NM is holding torque not peak so pretty powerful and they have a new technology called full force that adds another layer of force feedback, sounds like they ripped Logitechs idea Trueforce from their DD wheel base.
@@timreeves6901 I hope you will have the best experience with it! I will for sure upgrade mine in the future too 🙌🏼
@@riftblondie thanks I hope so too... I think when you get the booster pack and brake for yours you will be much happier
I'm switching from my 16 years old gear driven Logitech Driving Force GT to the CSL DD.
Picked up the Shifter and Formula V2.5X wheel and clutch kit on black friday.
Waited with buying load cell and 8nm upgrade.
I think the switch from 2.4 to 5nm is enough for me for the first few months.
Going from Logitech to Fanatec is definitely an improvement and you will feel the difference! Just make sure to play with the settings and get to a point where you feel comfortable with the wheel. You can change almost everything in the settings with this DD base.
In short: overpriced. Even i get mine on sales on july
- After only 1 month the up-shifter gets stucked for no reason. I played Euro Truck Simulator, and the paddles used for Volume knobs generally
- After 4 months the pedals get shiny. The plastic on the throttle is total lost its texture, however i'm not a daily sim driver
May Fanatec hires different manufactures to build their hardware and sellsdifferent quality for ROW outside of Europe i don't know...
+1: EA WRC is now v1.4 and still can't handle LED stripe on P1 V2 (you can1t customise or switch Off) and it is annyoing a lot, on higher RPMs the light color burns into your eyes.
Hi! I can feel what you are saying and unfortunately for me, I had to make a move to another manufacturer. Review coming soon ☺️
Too bad Fanatec treat their customers like trash.
to be honest i did not get in touch with them to see that but i heard some complains about it....
@@riftblondie I've been trying to contact them since December 7th and they're just ghosting me.
