I dont want to have to pay another 100 on top of every wheel you want to utilize the qr2 I honestly dont see myself switching wheels a ton. If I feel too much in the qr1lite as it comes does the qr1 metal with the screw really that much better? I may get that ordered up if I feel it at all when driving. It was kind of a spontaneous purchase so didnt look into that part much or the cheaper csl lc pedal but I am sure it will all be better than g920

    I have a CSW 2.5 since 2019, never ever had an issue with swapping steering wheels or broken pins on the wheel side. No issues with ‘play’ while driving unless you put pressure on the steering wheel that is different from turning the steering wheel to the left or right, like pulling one side of the wheel towards you or push it away from you, or twisting the steering wheel forwards away from you. I will stick to the CSW 2.5 and will probably one day upgrade to a future Clubsport DD wheel base if that is 12Nm or more.

      Now if you want upgrade from an old base like the 2.5 your steering wheels arent compatible if you dont purchase the new QR. Its not worth it to buy a Fanatec DD if you want to stay in the same ecosystem because you have steering wheels with the old QR so you have to upgrade as well the steering wheels for a big mount of money. The only good thing with Fanatec is continous with the same ecosystem but if you lose it. Why anyone is go for it when you could buy a Moza or something like that? I will not be able to buy new steering wheels if i want to stay with an old base like the 2.5 and if i want upgrade with a new direct drive for Fanatec and be able to use my wheels now i have to purchase a new QR for every sinlge steering wheel because they dont want to adapt the new QR for the old bases. Its a shitty decision.

Moved over to SIMAGIC, mainly due to the size of the wheelbase being nice and compact so it allows me to get my triples as close and low as possible.

    I had zero movement until I started swapping wheels with my PS4 DD1 but the locking screw removed that. What's a far bigger issue is the sound of plastic cracking which is worse with a solid QR. Fanatec please release an aluminum back for the Formula V2 rim - No R&D needed.

  • @RacerScott
    @RacerScott Рік тому +9

    I know you mentioned it very briefly, in my experience using the locking bolt tightly removes all clicking and most if not all the movement in the QR1. It's extremely important to use the locking bolt as it protects the pins from any possible damage. I feel not enough people use the bolt then eventually have problems. Slop creates more slop without bolt, then by the time you decide to use the bolt the tolerance is worse than new. Use the bolt tight everytime!

    Definitely a nice upgrade. Still requires you to change out the stem which can bring tolerance issues. The issue I still have is if you want to use a third party wheel, you still have to purchase the podium hub. Another expense compared to some other brands. Asetek, Moza, Simagic.

    Idk if i just got lucky and received a good batch, but the wheel gas absolutely ZERO wiggle. Ive never needed to use the lottle screw to hold it in place! It fits together so tightly it requires a decent amount of force to take the wheel off!

    Fanatec should have come up with a trading system. You get the QR2 at a hefty discount if you send back the QR1. Plus, it would have made the company look more eco friendly.

      ​@@dimsoneill it's not a design fault, they had a system which was fine for the csl elite etc... every manufacturer regardless of industries produces versions of its products that are better throughout the time, Fanatec is not to be blamed for that. Again, QR1 works fine. The biggest problem with QR2 is the late release, making all those who bought into the fanatec ecosystem wish they had it from start. But fanatec had bigger fish to fry, namely, production and stock issues, fierce competition etc... Still with the money they have, development should have been quicker (especially considering they just copied real racing quick release), but they better release a product that is available than do a paper launch.. Anyways, it's good for upcoming bases & wheels, but honestly, QR1 it is for those who value their hard earned cash more than the hyped novelty.

    Excellent review. Seems like a much better product which is very frustrating for my 2 week old gear. With 2 wheels I'd be up for over AUD$290 for the base versions (and I can't even just do 1) for something that is supposedly going to be 'included as standard' very soon. With a 2+ year lead time and almost no updates provided, it's not like it was reasonable to expect a release to actually occur. I'm hoping they offer more than the weak bundle discount currently on offer to those who purchased recently.

    Disappointed that you didn't test all 3 QR's on the same (stiff) wheel. A lot of people are going to use the QR2 Lite on stable platforms and stable rims and because you chose a really flexy rim I can't tell if there's actually a reason to go up to the aluminum model. With the crazy amount of reinforcing they did on the QR2 Lite, I'd be surprised if there's any flex that can be shown.
    You also mentioned cracking at the bolt holes for the QR2 Lite, is this something that was experienced on the QR1? I have all QR1 lite currently and while they do flex they have been very durable.

It's a simple fix for the shaft, just loosen the clamp, and push the shaft back to being flush with the wheelbase.

I know there are other brands out there that may do better, subjectively, but the vast array of rims offered and the ones that I own already keep me in the Fanatec fam. Pedals, a different story...lol. Love the work you and your team put in. It is a true passion project that you all are stellar at putting out there for us racers. Much love, and keep it up!

    With the Base-side Nickel Type M which is higher quality plus the weight of the DD1 made it an overall more solid combination, you could instantly see the difference Vs the DD Pro Type C combo which was still very good, cheers for a very detailed clear understanding of how all this works, the "base side" "wheel side" Type M and C etc can be a bit confusing until you've watched this. Just to add it looks even more solid with the Club Sport V2 type wheels which is understandable at 27" which are a very popular wheel for GT anyway.

    Would have better if the securing bolt was used in the QR1 like you are supposed to when doing the flex test.
    The comment on the different amount of play experienced on different batches of QR1s was interesting and shows poor QC on Fanatecs side. I have never had an issue (lucky I guess) and have always use the bolt anyway as it isn't that much drama.
    The QR2 hopefully is a step forward and will withstand the test of time. But at twice the price as a QR1 for the wheel side AU$85 and AU$170 for the QR2 AU$340 for the Pro QR2. Would be nice if it is possible to open a QR2 up to see the difference and where that price jump comes in. I am assuming they are still manufactured in China.
    Oh and by Aviation grade for the pro do you know if it's 6061-T6 which would be the most common.
