Fanatec CSL Cheap and Simple Brake Mod For Sim Racing Improvement - Wooden Dowel Trick
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- I've been testing the standard 80 quid/euro Fanatec CSL pedals and found the brake pedal to be the embodiment of 'eh, whatever, it'll do'. Luckily, it's really simple to make a mild but noticeable improvement to it if you're using them for sim racing and can't yet afford the load cell kit. It won't bring you anywhere near that level - definitely not - but it's better than how it comes out the box and couldn't be easier, so it'll tide you over a little longer. Give it a whirl.

![[REVIEW] 3DRAP Fanatec CSL Pedals Elastomer Brake MOD. Better feel, improved control! 🦶](/img/n.gif)
What I find most impressive is your ability to draw this out to over 3 minutes. Big ups.
You gotta be yanking me chain, that's brisk around here!
No I reckon he’s right, this vid could have literally been 30 seconds long
@@gazdavies3727 yeah, but UA-cam doesn't recommend very short videos most often unless it's literal shorts
@@dannyleeracing Here's me hoping for a minimum of 4 minutes 🤪... good vid a great idea , will try this when my pedals arrive
Man your mod is great i've put a rounded off piece of cork inside and it s great just the right stiffness and the end for more control on trail braking..thank you !

That's neat, I think I will try that but with a 3D printed part in place of the dowel. That might allow me to tune how stiff I want it to be, especially with flexible filament.
Good idea! Can you share the file for 3d printing?
thank you for the idea, there's a lot of options for filling that hole
Simple, easy to install and works. Good stuff. Reminds me of modifying the logitech pedals by using an eraser.
I was actually thinking that the same thing could be done with an eraser or just plain ol' rubber for a softer feel in case the wood was too much
I haven't watched your channel for too long.
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for the tip and the video explanation. You're the man! I also loved the little guy at 00:39
Cheers! I had to fill the brief lull with something...
Ah, KISS - Keep it stupid simple!. Will try this mod when I get my pedals :) good idea.
I used a piece of 3/8 automotive heater hose , fit perfectly inside the hole on the stock foam , much more consistent feeling
I've heard of people using a Cheesestring, too
I 3D printed a piece that fits your meassurements.
Works great.
Thank you! :)
You clever cookie
heya, would you mind sending me the stl file? I have a 3d printer as well. I don’t mind paying you a couple bucks! reply to this and ill give you my email, thanks!
Tempted to try this. Thank you very much! :)
Good idea. I'm gonna try a peice of cork from a cheap wine
It has made a nice difference to mine. Thanks buddy, awesome
Awesome, thanks!
Genius. Still want load cells but what a fix for less than £4
Gonna give it a try for sure. I thought I was the only one that didn't like that rubber thingy... I am using a carved gummy eraser to fill the hole but it is now crumbling, literally, and there are gummy pieces everywhere now...
I'll get this done as soon as they come in the mail nice thinking bro
Have you done it?
@@vinigobbi worked like a charm
great job and simple trick without the cost .
Great low cost idea. Couldn’t find the link to drop you a few quid for one
There was guy on reddit who did a similar mod with a m8 nut
Here I came to this video finding the break pedal too stiff instead of too soft 😂
same you found a solution?
just cut out a bigger hole then, save the foam to put back in if you want to reverse it
@@hanfo420 nah not needed anymore it whas new ant stiff not its been used and its getting soft meaby to soft over time and i will add that wooden thing to stiffen it up agen
Thanks very much 👍🏽
Fanatec is always refusing support and repair. So no need to worry about. Also, if you are new to the hobby, avoid Fanatec completely.
first thing i did when i received the peddlas. Its a shame that the out of the shelf option is so uncustomizable
I am an exceptionally lazy Brit. Order put in, thank you.
Hey man, thanks for the content!! I'll try this with mine. Do you think 15mm works too? Cant find 14mm.
Hi Danny, I am considering an Upgrade to Fanatec, but I have a question about the CSL Pedals, because they are a lot cheaper than the Clubsport ones and I am on a tight budget, but they do have Torsion Springs in the Throttle and Clutch, and previously I had a set of Thrustmaster pedals that had Torsion springs, and they were endlessly snapping. So my question is, have you ever expirienced the Springs braking in the CSL Pedals?
Hey man - I would be very very surprised if you had the same issue with the CSL pedals! I haven't heard of anyone having that issue yet, either, so I think you should be good
@@dannyleeracing ok, thank you for your help!
heya, i live in the uk. Is the shipping of the wooden sticks still available? If yes i’d like one, and we can discuss the price / shipping fees in private! thanks
Is it possible to adjust the brake sensitivity of the standart CSL pedals after the mod?
Interesting thanks. do you have to unscrew the brake or can you just... jimmy it in?
It'd be tough to jimmy back into place, you'll end up wishing you just undid the bolt - simple enough. I've tried jimmying it back into place without the wood core and it was annoying...
@@dannyleeracing I have since tried and I concur!
I don’t have a rig can I use it on the floor ?
I'm gonna ask my metal workshop teacher if I/he could make me a aluminium or brass piece
Still waiting on my set up but what do you think about doing this mod as a clutch pedal? I also have the Load Cell on order.
This won't be any good for the clutch pedal as that doesn't have any foam blocks or wedges to speak of - there ARE mods out there for this pedal set, though!
Appreciate the effort, but a bit pricey for a tiny cut of wood
You can buy one off me if you cannot be bothered doing it yourself or don't want to buy dowel/a handsaw, that's all. You're free (and encouraged) to DIY, I literally show you how!
No worries
Why not just get LC pedal its not that expensive
cause 2$ is a lot cheaper than 130
First
