      I wondered if you might have the answer to this. I just ordered the 8 Nm DD last night (DO NOT TELL THE WIFE!!) and i own the McLaren GT3 V2 wheel with the plastic quick release. Now I believe the quick release has to be upgraded to the "metal" version for the DD1 & 2 but i haven't heard whether it needs to be replaced for the 8 Nm "baby" DD. I'm assuming not, but would welcome clarification. BTW, I do enjoy your content, and consider you largely responsible for my purchase last night....another reason not to tell the wife! 😄

      @@EndureRacing Most beginners will go for the cheapest option. Especially if they've never tried a wheel before. That's how I did it as well. For someone who didn't know anything about wheels, the ease of the G29 bundle was what I liked. And it was cheaper than a bunch of other options. I wasn't about to spend $600+ on a hobby I wasn't even sure I would like. Though, I probably should have gone with a lower end TM set.
      Then after about a year with the G29 and familiarizing myself with more aspects of simracing, I made the decision to go all in and buy a Fanatec setup.

Other reviewers get lost in enthusiastically praising products without really focusing or even stressing the eventual downsides or sometimes flaws they have.

    Using the "High-Power PowerPack" I get a very notable thud-like noise, when changing directions with the McLaren V2 rim. So there is some play in the rotational axis. The QR1 (as shown in this video) does that too, but not, when the sercuring screw is in. So what I had to do was, throwing another 100€ at fanatec for a QR1. After having experienced snapped pins on the McLaren V2, I felt, this was my only option. Well played fanatec. Well played.

      I wonder if I can keep my G27 pedals while using this new direct drive wheel? For example, I could have my G27 pedals connected to the G27 wheelbase and leave that wheelbase sitting on the floor out of the way, and in-game just move the direct drive wheel when assigning the controls, and move the G27 pedals. Or will I have to buy new pedals just because I'm upgrading my wheel?

    This is more than enough wheel for my needs. I don't sim race but would prefer a wheel over mouse/keyboard or controller options. Looking to use with games like Forza Horizon, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Sim 2, American Truck Sim. Would be great if able to use when driving in GTA Online too but not sure if supported. Then further down the road (pun intended) if I decide to play AC or Project Cars I'd still have a decent wheel.

      forza horizon is terrible with a wheel, the youtubers you see using a wheel have spent hours practicing, learning how to drive wrong just so they can use a wheel in forza horizon on youtube for views etc. maybe/ hopefully forza horizon 5 will have better wheel support/ physics/ ffb. but i wouldnt count on it, its an arcade game and those usually dont play nicely with wheels. i have a wheel (only a g29) but i always use a gamepad when playing forza horizon.

    @robbrown3433 2 роки тому +1

    Funny guy, love him and sim sarcasm!
    I perceive the topic of rotating mass/inertia as fancy marketing (and as such, nonsense). It would make sense if the rim was free to spin but under normal conditions, the rim isn’t free spinning because it’s being held firmly in your hands. It means the FFB is felt by the resistance of your hands & arms. I could understand this argument if max torque were at Logitech levels. Moment of inertia is the engineering/physics term. The DD CSL has ample torque, even for rims with high moments of inertia (layman wording; heavy steering wheels).

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  2 роки тому +3

      1 you don't always hold firmly onto a wheel
      2 you can literally feel the servo motor more with the lighter wheel rims ( as well as smaller diameter wheel rims obvously)
      3 8nm is really quite week on the grand scheme of things from me experience you need at least 14+NM to make the wight difference between the fanatec rims effectively irrelivent to how that then effects the FFB feeling.
      I have litrally used every wheel rim on the market with tons of DD wheels for different companies this is not some hyperthtical thing.

    Just ordered the CSL DD 8NM with the above rev link. I am curious how it does compared to my trusty old Thrustmaster TX, used it for 5 years now I believe, unfortunately the best is off from it. While spinning it has some areas where the rotation gets notably harder, all not so great for ffb, also some wobbly wobble and squeaking from the plastic construction. It served me well, but it is time to move on. Lockdown here we come! ;)

Im not sure if it is coming from your microphone or editing software, but it made me unable to continue watching as I was getting a headache. I double checked another video and it was fine so it does seem to be the video. Just a heads up, overall what I watched the video seemed great.
    Its possible that some people may not be able to even hear the frequency due to the pitch, so if you don't notice it maybe that's why.

    Hello. I am looking for a long term build and was wondering if the CSL DD is right for me, if if the 8nM is going to be too low. I have the F-GT Elite front and side mount cockpit with the ES1 Elite Seat. I have the following on order and I am wondering if for the price, I can get a better product. Currently on order I have the Fanatec V3 pedals, Clubsport Formula V2.5X wheel, advanced podium F1 paddles and the CSL DD. It came to around $2,000 CDN, so for the price I am wondering if there is a better set of wheel/DD and pedals I should go with. Willing to spend a little more if it's a big improvement in what I am getting. Your help is appreciated.
