The best Direct Drive Wheel for the money

  • This is by far the best priced Direct Drive simracing wheel ever existed ! SimuCube , Fanatec and VRS have awesome wheels but non of them can get even close to what we get from the Simagic Alpha Mini in combination with GT1 for the money ! If they keep that price this can be the bestseller and more people can join the track with high quality force feed back !
    Without any quality sacrifices on the build with only Aluminium and carbon materials !
    10NM may sound not much but even coming from 25nm SimuCube wheel I was super happy with the fidelity and the clean force feed back which was absolutely enough to feel everything I need !
    This bundle is incredible choice for all those who do not want to spend over 2k for the high end wheel bases !

The style of your videos, your studio, your sim, everything is beautifully made, and with your enthusiasm, I can listen to you for hours and hours, I just started with sim racing and I hope sim racing will give me a fraction of the happiness it brought you. i wish you and your family the best, and i wish you many save virtual kilometers!

      @DiogoChannels Hey, sorry, I just saw this. So the Simagic was great. I never had any issues with it, and it worked well across all the sims I played on. But I did end up selling it and going with the Fanatec DD2. Mostly because I have Fanatec pedals and shifter, and just prefer one system for updates and software.

    Your videos are awesome as always, when it comes to having visuals and a storyline. I just got my Simagic Alpha Mini with the round GT-1 wheel moving up from a G29 and I couldnt be happier. Its such a high quality product. Theres no cut corners I can find. The wheel feels phenomenal. Its everything I could have hoped for. The buttons feel really nice and the shifters have the most satisfying feeling ever. And honestly the 10Nm is sufficient for 99.9% of people. Personally dont see myself ever needing more as I dont even need to run it on max FFB to feel really solid and smooth and still have great details. If anyones thinking about buying it, I can thoroughly recommend it too.

    • @chepilevski
      @chepilevski  2 роки тому +4

      I wasn’t sure what 10nm really means on track as I use usually high torque and always had 20 nm + bases and after testing this with relatively big diameter wheel “320” I was surprised how much that really is ! For all my endurance races I used exactly those torques I was getting from the Alpha Mini 🤭 I was curious about the software which surprised me too ! This wheel is smooth like butter without sacrificing any speed !
      I hope those guys keep those prices and they will be first choice for the most of the Simracing community in few years 😃

    • @Bikaz
      @Bikaz 2 роки тому

      @@chepilevski Absolutely agree. Sure theres always stronger bases but I think this is like comparing supercars and hypercars. Both insane performance and im sure the even better bases might could have a slight edge, but even "just" having the supercar of direct drive, feels well suited for me. :) If their other products keep the price strategy and this level of quality, I see myself upgrading the rest of my gear to their ecosystem too. Those simagic pedals that are releasing also look very interesting and cant wait for you, Berry, Laurance, Boosted Media and the like to review them. Really great stuff.

    Great video Steliyan :) I love how you capture the passion. It's exactly what I felt when using the product. I had low low expectations but the alpha mini blew me away and I would happily use it forever. I do think that the GT1 button box can be improved and hopefully we will see a new version of the steering wheel in the future. That said, it's still a great steering wheel for the price. the GT4 rim is GREAT though and also worth testing out. Thanks for sharing your adventures

    I do a lot of work with arduinos and stuff it makes me happy I will actually get to use those skills once I get rid of my wooden cockpit that hurts my knees and back. Personally I am thinking either getting the fanatec podium DD, the carbon fiber blue one, or just skipping and going right to getting a simcube. It might be cheaper for me in the long run to just jump right to getting a simcube instead of upgrading from fanatec after a few years.

    Copy paste: Great video 😃
    At 5:22 you say that you love high torques for maximum understanding of the cars and I give you 100% right.
    I always use 15 Nm for Fanatec Podium DD2, can use higher but for longer races it’s just ideal.
    BUT I came across many simracers who claim that LOWER TORQUE is better for feeling and understanding the car. I tried 6 Nm, 10 Nm but find it too low, so for me it didn’t worked.
    It’s personal taste imo. With higher torque I can correct my slides better and sooner because I feel it immediately.
    So I join your club: The High Torque Club 😂👍🏁

    • @chepilevski

    I’m in the market for a DD at the moment and I’ve so far narrowed it down to 2: R9 + GS wheel. Here in Australia the R9 base is $699 and GS $799. The second option is the Simagic Mini + GT4 rim. The Simagic base on sale here is $1000 and the GT4 rim is $850. $1500 Vs $1850. I did think about the cheaper GT rim like you have in the video but I want open style and I need dual clutch.
