Definitely think if they get this thing dialed it could be a logi killer especially if they offer some pedals with it for 350ish but at 300 for that wheel and base and still needing pedals it makes the moza r5 a close competitor and the r5 is just so good
Yes! Will definitely be interested what they do regarding the pedals
Also the csl buddle which you can down the road add the 8nm power bank
@eshansatti9953 true when it's in stock
At least here you have a good quality rim (fanatec you have to buy an extra one)
@@batzertyabc3339 good quality? That thing sounds worse than the 100$ thrustmaster wheel add ons lol. The overall build quality looks very cheap and ugly compared to some other brands, sure you’ll be paying around 300$ just for the steering wheel but usually it’s decent quality like the moza rims. This could be useful for people with limited space or tight budgets but I don’t see anyone with an entry level DD base going out and switching over to this thing.
Seems like an interesting wheel. However after my experience with the PXN V10 I think I’ll just stick to my G29
Why are you comparing a PXN wheel to a DD?
That's like comparing a Toyota Camry to a Ferrari
the madcats ffb wheel failed to compete with the logi g wheel 8 years ago and the pxn v10 is just a redranded madcats so dont know why anyone would think it would be better then a logi this time around.
@@TheRivalryDrifting
Many in America think so...unfortunately
1st of all awesome video as always! loved it.
2nd: this aint a direct drive wheel as most ppl think how direct drive wheels should work. I mean internally hardware wise, therefore its not a direct rive wheel per se.
And 3d: Testing hardware on ACC? cmon man, i bet you know better than that. That's prolly the worst sim on force feedback. Hell.. even AMS2 delivers better than ACC.
My opinion if you'd ever ask me? Get a used t300 or a tmx/tsxw or smthing similar from used market and then save some money for an actual DD Wheel, preferably from 8nm and above. Lets say moza r9, csl dd etc. Dont waste money on a half backed synergy of components that its wheel is as small as a logitech g29. Even that g29 on a used market, you can get it with 3 pedals and a shifter under 300 bucks. If you just getting in, in sim racing and and/or just wanna play some racing games casually, just get a g29. If you already know you are gonna stick to it from the get go, get a t300/t300 rs or a similar and and then go for an actual direct drive wheel base.
Also apparently cammus c5 makes almost the same noises as a g29 so... There's that..
Cheers!
this is a direct drive. no gear, no belt, wheel directly hooked to motor shaft .
Look up Eric Laithwaite if you want to know more about the hardware in these wheelbases and what makes them tick so people don't have to listen to BS comments like this.
If Logitech gonna make a successor to the G923, i.e. G925, this design is the way forward. Fanatec kicked off the more compact DD box design wheelbases which they and now Moza are releasing, followed by Logitech and Thrustmaster(with limited success imo), and Camus decided to do something innovative. Hopefully we get more cool innovations bringing DD wheelbases prices to at least $300 USD.
but you cant replace the wheel when you want something different or when it breaks.
@@grozaphy you can't really do that on logitech either.
@@givemeajackson you can though just wont have the buttons
@@grozaphy My logitech g27 literally still works and i use it every month since I bought it, no reason why shit you buy should break in under 5 years.
So is thrustmaster not a good Wheel at all? I was about to buy one please Help
The noise let this package down imo. My t300 still going strong for 2 years now. Next upgrade will hopefully be a real life car lol.
Upgrading to a direct-drive will be more realistic
@@OCRacing than a real life car?
@@martymet This will be more realistic for your banker
@@OCRacing it's the vibration function .... is it possible to put it off??
@@martymeti was joking lmao
Would have been nice to see it compared to other 5Nm direct drives instead of only gear and belt drives.
Will be doing so soon 👍
Dave Cam rates it.
4 months later, 300 wheel and pedals, but only a 2 pedal set up.
@@boziewz6125They have 3 pedal set now and it look sick at a great price.
it might not have made any noise if you had assembled it correctly, look at the shots at 3:12. not great dude
This sure has some out-of-the-box thinking with this wheel. I would buy this, if it didn’t have the wheel base integrated in the wheel and the weird noises that it makes.
Strange. All other reviews I have seen with this wheel it has been silent.
we definetly need more cheap wheels in the market like these
Perfect wheel for the traveling sim racer and for kids wanting to race with dad
One thing that happens when you get things for free is… You don’t pay for shipping!!! That’s one reason these reviews can’t be trusted. 🙄
I got a few bike frames for free but they sure make me pay for shipping!
@@Cloxxki I'm talking about crazy shipping costs that put the cost of the wheel in the ballpark of way more expensive gear.
How odd though that they specifically “engineered in” the Logitech rattle. 😂
So happy to be a part of this amazing community‼️ Keep grinding and dropping bangers‼️
You already know I will. Big announcement soon 🫡
I was pretty sold on it until I heard the sound clips of the loud noises it was making at 5:40... has me a bit weary now
The noise is what made me said no to this instantly
Thanks for the video! I've been hyped for this wheel for a while now, and there haven't been many reviews so far.
I wanted to say though, considering it's a budget wheel, you should review it in a more budget friendly setup. For example, people who want the cheapest direct-drive wheel they can get probably aren't going to have racing gloves. I'm sure the leather feels fine though, what I care more about is that I doubt many people buying the wheel are going to have racing chairs with mounting brackets. I personally have a desk that has a drawer on the front with no overhang to attach the clamp to, so I don't know if the clamp is going to be able to extend all the way to the bottom of the drawer, or if my drawer handle would get in the way. I didn't get a good look at the clamp in the video. Maybe I'll have to take the drawer out of my desk every time I use it! I'd love to see a follow-up video showing how the clamp works : ) (you don't have to make that video if you don't want to)
Anyways, any video about the Cammus C5 is a good video. I am very excited!
If this gets console support i will definitely be heavily considering it as a g29 upgrade
I hope it works with PS5!!!
It doesn’t
The sound you complained about seems to be the bibrations going from your cockpit onto something close to it rubbing, it would make no sense for the wheel to make any noise since it has no gears
This is a great wheel…. For people on a really tight budget or really don’t have the space for something as small as a moza R9 then this is absolutely perfect, outside of that I don’t see anyone ditching their current DD wheel for this thing lol.
the noise is an absolute no-go, and I think many think of it this way, Big problem. Otherwise I love the buttons and overall seems like a decent wheel.
Nah. Its an in-game and wheel setting problem. 2 other reviewers have no such problem.
im having a g29 looks like this is a promising upgrade just the pedal situation... the noise while vibration is normal i think, the trueforce thing had it as well if i remember correctly.
If you already own the logitech pedals there are some cheap after market chips to make them standalone usb devices, or some basic electronics and coding do the trick as well. It's just some potentionmeters to be read by an arduino leonardo/micro/pro micro and it's done.
@@alphastratus6623 thanks
So cool but why does it have to look so goofy😂 i know i cant say anything as an t248 owner tho😅
Due to my living setup that noise would be unacceptable. 😢
Very quiet though,
Finally a good review on this wheel
Gotchu 🫡
Nice! But that grinding though. It sounds like a defect.
Another week another w oc racing video 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
🙏🙏🙏
Looks promising, every single brand trying to establish and bringing up some competition is always good for us customers.
Although seeing its flaws, until (and hopefully) they polish their product, Moza is the way to go, its R5 Bundle is just a bargain considering the awesome quality and performance offered.
Agreed! Thinking of comparing this to my R5 to see how it holds up.
the small shift paddles could probably be fixed with a 3d printed cover
OC big fan of the channel man! Honestly though your best videos are when you race online! I would check out ACC LFM, it's like ACCs version of iracings ranking system and is a ton of fun, would make for great content! I'm actually a single seater guy primarily but I'm currently addicted as all hell to ACC online racing, it's just sooo fun.. from what I've heard ACC does GT3 cars even better then iRacing, obviously iRacing has way more variety but ACCs price is a fraction in comparison. Check it out! 😁
Excellent editing as always
Thanks 🙏🙏
WOOH! YES ANOTHER VIDEO!
You ALREADY KNOW 😤😤
nice video oc
Thank you very much
Looks interesting, as an entry level guy I will keep an eye on this one
Shifters ruin it for me it’s a decent wheel but those shifters just don’t look or seem to feel right
PlayStation? I see it has the PlayStation controller symbols on the right buttons. Do you expect it to be compatible with PlayStation consoles? Also, what do you know about the company and their products? Do you expect it to be durable over the long-run? Thanks for another well done video!!
Babe wake up, OC racing posted again
Her post notifications didn’t wake her?! Unacceptable
@@OCRacing Your right dumping her rn 😤
Would it work with pedals such as Thrustmaster t3pa?
Pc (all usb )
you are my favorite sim racing youtuber, i'd love a video comparing shifters, considering i haven't seen very many of those videos (thrustmaster vs moza vs logitech vs fanatec vs etc))
Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/nm3DdDNk93Y/v-deo.html
Havent seen a video from ya in a while, just watched this one and it looks like the cammus c5 is great. Love to see technoloyy getting cheaper and better as time progresses, also bro the sound that the wheel makes sounds like a squeaky door or straight from a horror movie lmao. I think the cammus c5 simply is too strong for your setup and it unscrews the screws holding the cockpit together making it sqeuak, just a theory 😂
I was hoping more detailed footage of the mounting section, rather than closed frame b roll shots of it.... great review otherwise a little disappointed there is not a youtube display more in-depth of the mount since its probable the first of its kind...
Another great video! I love the production value - your photography, editing, voiceover - all really well done. A pleasure to watch.
Thanks a lot! :)
This wheel looks cool. I hope it works on Steam Deck for driving games. I could easily take this wheel on vacations. Also hope it works on consoles.
It has no console support. That's part of its low price. Adding support for consoles means paying royalties which highly increases price.
They have to ditch that D shaped wheel since it doesn't look like you can swap a round wheel. Drifting with a D shape wheel looks awful!
Alright, I’m interested. I like sim racing but I don’t do it all the time and I don’t have the space for a whole rig right now. A simple and inexpensive direct drive wheel like this seems like something for me to finally replace my boring Logitech G920.
Most underrated youtube channel
🙏🙏
Haha almost look like diy hoverboard wheel made commercial
I'm buy it rn thanks 312 for a direct drive wheel crazy
6:17 that's a dealbreaker right there
Atleast it don’t sound like a jackhammer when your driving 👍
I honestly hate the lcd speed display on it. I hate looking at screens in cars too. More things should be analog and require less digital glitz, remove that screen entirely, make the shift paddles bigger and cheaper and get rid of the tacky carbon fibre to bring the price down bout a hundred or so by next year and im sold.
By far the most ugly wheel ever made and it needs a fan and is loud.
Also why bother if you can get the ready to drive Fanatec bundle, with this package you even have the ability to upgrade to 8nm later on.
6:06 Can we talk about what he’s doing going off the track like that: 😂
So you can hear what the wheel sounds like on different surfaces…
Was waiting for this review for so long! Might buy it when its coming out. Of course if i dont win the giveaway😏
Im not hating but the paddle shifters made me laugh so hard. sure they work but they look ridiculous
only reason i want to switch to direct drive is that theyre silent, my g27 makes so many clunking sounds
That price is cap. After you add shipping it is almost 500!!
Damn man I love your Miata, you thought I was gonna say "your reviews", just kidding I "love" your reviews!!
I’m surprised people know about the Miata. I think it’s only been featured in one video lol
Who would forget the infamous white miata!!
I bought 1 but its so loud.. is mine broken? very loud baring thumb
Can you turn the vibration feature off in the software if the noise happens to be too loud? Been dying to see the vid since the short and it was certainly worth the wait cause of how well made it is!
I didn't see an option for that on the software. Would be a good idea if they added that feature as I'm thinking it's the vibrations that cause the noise. Good point!
@@OCRacing so ..... Motors inside for vibration.??...unplug we have to🤔
What happens if the wheel breaks but the DD motor still works?
Use another wheel on the base
Nice vfm but wtf it's even louder than the g29
Let’s gooo I was waiting for this one
I know 😳
Ok but can you open it? It Will be revealed If there is any chance to slap 330 mm boi in to that ;)
I don’t think you can unfortunately. I’m sure someone will try to eventually though lol
You said better than the T248, how does it compare to the T300? Also with the buttons, will it be compatibility with playstation?
Lol, I think it is a very ambitious design idea…..interested to see how it develops
no other reviewer got that sound, i think you got a bad copy
hey here is a feedback. reduce the constant intro video everywhere
Is this the same guy from that buzzfeed food show?
Heard its 5Nm consistent and 7Nm peak?
Should I buy a Thrustmaster yes or no ??
'Keeps the price low, especially in the shipping department' bruh they're charging 170 dollars to ship to my country without vat!. This thing with the pedals is almosg 600 euros after shipping and vat. Fanatec's r2r kit on the other hand has vat included and shipping is 45 euros. How does that make any sense from cammus.
doesnt the whole thing cost like 850 dollars?
Sounds like the G923.
It looks good but ugly at the same time.. good vid oc!
Kinda like the Nissan Z I guess
Very interesting. How does it do drifting?
As a g29 user, that makes no noise🤣
My T150 died. After watching reviews decided on C5....Shipping and vax adds $114 which you cant see until you purchase. Is this $419 wheel, peddles and clamp still such a good deal? im currently trying to cancel my order...
why does it have ps5 buttons on it ?
Maaan, those paddleshifters are the definition of anemic. Your clip of pressing them while turning the wheel it looked like your very fingertips were about to slip off the edge. I cant be convinced those are adequate. And unless you just really have small hands yourself, Imagine what a younger kid would experience trying to tag those things.
aslong as its actully the low price they say it is... unlike moza... 200-300€ for shipping litterly makes it THE MOST expensive midrange DD wheelbase
We purchased c5 couple weeks ago I've not heard a word from them except for a receipt they sent to my email there's no way to track your order I sent three emails out with no replies. We're starting to think that this is a scam.
Hey Oscar
I've been following you for a long time, love your videos
Wanna offer me one of those sim racing gloves of yours? :D
please??
Gloves aren’t ready to go yet, but I appreciate the support 🙏🙏
I am really disappointed with Cammus and at this moment I am not thinking about purchasing anything else from the brand, and I will strongly recommend to the virtual pilot community that they do not buy either.
You could do with less music for sure
equivalent to 380 dollars in the uk...........im done with uk pricing
Americans don't include VAT, but in many cases they do pay it.
yo why did it have to look so ugly tho
Looks promising for the price. My TS-XW just took a dump. Think it might be power supply. As much as I'm second guessing, I think I'm gonna go with the T818. Just at the fact that I have everything else Thrustmaster. Great video. Sorry I went off topic.
Yeah, makes sense to go with the T818 if you already have some of their peripherals. Solid choice nonetheless
I was like that before but I ended up waiting over a year for them to actually release their DD base. In the end I sold all my thrustmaster stuff and went all in on moza gear, I have never looked back not even once and I loved my thrustmaster setup. I had the same base the TS XW with a Ferrari F1 wheel ad on but the lack of power made most games never feel right compared to the moza.
is it brtter than the thrusmaster t300
I mean a DD wheel for less than g29 price? gonna be a MASSIVE upgrade from my used ahh g29
Just say ass. The ahh crap is annoying
u may stil wanna use the g29 pedals and shifter tho lol
@@SillyMonkeysLikeApples ofc but at least a DD wheel would feel better and maybe be even quieter than the g29
@@DEn0YT yeap thats what I play to do as well, this one or the moza r5, but thats another price
plan***
honesty i like the look, have the C5 sell in Bestbuy canada, would like to get one and share it with my peers who'd also be interested in get into this type of gaming setup.
honesty it's a toy, i hope the load sound doesn't break for long term use.
that noise is a deal breaker. i can't fathom who would think that's a good idea. it was a stupid idea on the G wheels, it's stupid now.
The only negative thing for me and a dealbreaker with this is that loud noise. That's quite distracting
i'm amazed how bad the rim is. why they dont just copy g29 like
the fuc* you mean?
i recently got the tspc.. can you do a vid compare to tgt 2? i know tgt 2 is ps and pc but it literally feels same. ts pc vs tgt vs tgt 2
How loud is this weird sound compared to the g29 clanking noise?
I’d like to see them add PS5 compatibility, since I go between PC and PS5.
The vibe noise is a bit of a 😮
too small the shifer palletes
