    What I find most impressive is your ability to draw this out to over 3 minutes. Big ups.

    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.

    Simple, easy to install and works. Good stuff. Reminds me of modifying the logitech pedals by using an eraser.

    • @Ferrari255GTO

      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

    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?

    • @dannyleeracing
      @dannyleeracing  Год назад +2

      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

      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...

      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!

    Fanatec is always refusing support and repair. So no need to worry about. Also, if you are new to the hobby, avoid Fanatec completely.
