    I have this same setup, except I currently have a CSL Elite wheel base, and I can vouch for everything said in the video. In order to increase rigidity even further, I have my rig on top of a sheet of three-quarter inch plywood. I have drilled holes in the plywood and I use heavy duty zip ties to anchor the rig to the base. It really works very well indeed.

    Warning!
    Within 4 months of light use my FANATEC McLaren wheel cracked at the shifter pivot point and where it mounted to the QR. I was accused of over tightening although I used a torque wrench set at 3nm.
    FANATEC then replaced the wheel chassis admitting in writing it was a weakness in the wheel.
    Very soon after my CSL load cell pedal failed. I sent a video before sending the pedal set back as requested.
    I was required to make a follow up email after not hearing back.
    FANATEC said they can not fault the pedals asking if I want then sent back which I found a strange thing to ask?
    Eventually they were returned however within minutes I experienced the same issue which was consistent with magnetic interference from the CSL DD wheel base before the load cell pedal would completely shut down.
    I was beyond my limits at this point and driven to warn as many potential customers as I could while demanding a replacement.
    Following the usual delayed response, FANATEC then offered a replacement only if a show proof that they faulty load cell was again on its way back to them.
    FANATEC’s poor response time drove me to desperation.
    Keep in mind I have owned this new product for around 6 months when 2 major failures occurred.
    An electric technician overheard my experience and offered assistance.
    I was able to demonstrate the issue and within minutes the technician diagnosed a defective voltage regulator attached to the load cell circuit board.
    The voltage regulator is designed to reduce 5 volts coming from the wheel base or USB down to the required 3.3volts. There was no signal out of the regulator which he replaced.
    I am now enjoying my sim racing again while I hold my breath for the next FANATEC failure.
    Please take my advise and look at the FANATEC’s own forum in regards to all the issues they have and their terrible customer service.

      Mostly the fact that between the two, and using only what came in the box, the GT lite can be a more rigid cockpit with less flex then the playseat challenge. Not worlds different though so if you can find either of them for substantially cheaper go for that one

    I went from Thrustmaster TS-PC 6nm belt drive to CSL DD 8nm. It's not as big a upgrade as say, going from a Logitech g29 or TM t300 but it is very noticable. The level of detail is immense, smoothness is off the charts and it's completely silent! Coupled with a McLaren GT3 v2 rim and the Clubsport v3 pedals, it feels really good. Just ordered the Clubsport handbrake and the wrc rim for all my rally/drift needs!

    I just recently purchased my first simracing set, the Thrustmaster T300 and dipped my toes in the world of sim racing for the first time and I'm in love. I also went with the Playseat Challenge, which is pretty decent, but the pedal tray slides and turns all over the place which makes consistency super hard, so gotta get some upgrades for that. I was tempted to try the Fanatec bundles, but since it was my first experience trying sim racing and I didn't know if I would like it so much to justify the higher price, I went with the cheaper option. Also, I heard that delivery times on the bundles can sometimes be months, which helped with my decision making.

    It looks like you have a very nice seat position, your wheel at upper chest, very aggressive style. The move from Logitech to what you have now was the same wow factor for me, i came form 9 years on the G25 and wooden built rig to a 20 nm OSW and P1 Simlabs cockpit and HE pro pedals, agree with the pedals feeling like an upgrade equivalent to a DD wheel, you can smash the pedals and still have full control. A good informative video, well done sir👍👍

      I honestly disagree on the position related to the arms length. I see it way too often. You're too close to the wheel (in my opinion). I've a Playseat challenge and I'm very tall and only have two position options. The one you have and with the arms much more stretched, and unless you really don't have any other option (meaning, the arms stretched doesn't work for you because your arms are not long enough) the one you're using is just unrealistic besides uncomfortable.
      Otherwise, nice video!

    I bought the same Setup, and i love it. It is so much fun and exhausting, when youre finished your session after hours. Instead of the Next Level Seat, I bought the PlaySeat Trophy. It is light and you can easily put it in the corner while not useing it. Yes, its expensive but you have no flex. The LoadCell i bought only a couple of days ago and Im happy with the decision. Im not faster than before, but more consistant. Next what I want, is a nice F1 Rim.

And yet, I’m still Fanatec and a Sim Lab rig. Now do real race car drivers like Max Verstappen have a better setup? Heck yeah! Way more money and space than I do! So as nice as my stuff is, someone with more money will always have a better setup and do better lap times.
    And it doesn’t matter a lick to me! I’m getting to enjoy racing at what’s a comfortable level for me! And that puts a smile on my face every time!
    Everyone, just enjoy what you have. It it’s a PS4 and a controller, have fun. It’s a game, enjoy yourself. When you can upgrade, do so and keep enjoying yourself.

      A minha opiniao e que nao importa muito se realmente e super SIM ou se tem um toquezinho de arcade, mesmo comparando SIM's como o ACC e o automobilista por exemplo, a conducao é drasticamente diferente. Todos estao a tentar simular a realidade com diferentes niveis de sucesso mas o que realmente importa e que tenham modelos de fisica previsiveis e que a corrida em si seja divertida. De resto nao penses muito no assunto e joga o que quiseres e nao ligues ao que as pessoas dizem. Experimenta o maximo possivel para perceberes as diferencas mas de resto joga o que preferires :)

  • @timothywest1183

    What is comparable with the PlayStation 5 is the base motor. What’s specific needed for Xbox compatibility is the wheels. I bought the DD Pro 15 nm base that works with PC/PS5 (chip is in the base to make it compatible with the PS5, and the Clubsport Porsche GT3 R wheel, the one that shows compatibility with PC/PS5/X Box X/S. That way I can race on all three platforms.
    Took a while to find out the motor works with the X Box without saying so.

    the thing with the rig movement due to ffb is that whenever you're suuuuper concentrated with racing you barely notice any movement or any wiggle, but of course if it is wiggling A LOT I'd consider it a problem. I myself own a metallic rig that also has slight movement when driving aggressive or simply cause of ffb yet I barely notice it or feel it. So I'd say for those who are afraid of slight wiggle they shouldn't really IMO.

    If you turn the pedal mount end upside down and run the pedals board flat on the ground, you can put in full brake force without lifting yourself.

      Also, reversing the mounting plate for the DD base means you can a less cramped setup for people with longer arms.

      Exactly what you described is my goal with most of my videos, tech has this effect on me that when something really resonates with me, I just want to capture that feeling and turn it into something that other people can also feel.

    Running this exact setup myself and running the loadcell at 65% for ACC and 80% in rally games. As a loungeroom racer the gt lite is brilliant and my only gripe is with the pedal deck sliding across over long sessions and winding up further left. Few cable ties have helped but i think some pipe clamps would be better

      Point taken and I agree with you. It is a fine margin to balance between bait and not bait and I am sorry that disappointed you. Honestly it can be pretty daunting of a task to dedicate a week or two to a 10 min piece of content that if the title is slightly off no one cares about. At the same time of the time is right and people watch it I am bound to upset some of you (understandably so)

    At this price point you have various options not only Fanatec, for the same price you can get a 10Nm system, and stating that the CSL DD only difference between the more expensive offerings is peak torque is false.
    There are things like cogging, oscillation, notchiness and more headroom to handle more detailed FFB effects (peak and spectrum)...
    Peak torque is not everything and there is a lot of details.

    • @carlosribeiroo
      @carlosribeiroo  2 года назад

      Absolutely! It can be a challenge to make a video concise and informative. Everything has a lot of caveats and I am only limited to my own experiences. But I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! When I said only option I mean for both all consoles and pc, as far as I know they are the only ones that support all platforms. As for the rest of what you said about the other improvements of higher end direct drive wheels it feels entirely possible that you are correct, but since my comparison was targeted at much lower end gear (aka Logitech and belt driven options) I focused on comparing it to that and tried to make sure that people don’t feel discouraged because they feel they lack the money or the space to jump into the Gt dd pro.
      But like I said the biggest challenge is always to be concise and informative and more importantly easily understandable by everyone watching
      Regardless, thanks for taking the time to write! I appreciate it!

      The rig is quite imbalanced! The wheel deck is much heavier than all the rest and collapsing it all the way by yourself is a little challenging, doable but challenging.
      After it's collapsed, you can carry it and it weights around 30kg

    • @carlosribeiroo

      Unfortunately it's the wheelbase that is responsible for the compatibility with consoles, so you will always need a GT DD Pro for console and no wheel can give PlayStation compatibility to the CSL DD

    Dude, what a fantastic Video. Great for anybody doing an Upgrade and not sure what to do. Face it, there are millions of options out there and most likely you get lost in them. And most importantly, not everybody can spend four digit numbers on a new rig. Your choice of wheel is same as mine. For me it was not just the price, it also was the diameter of 30 inches. One upgrade I would invest in is the Metal quick release, it makes a heck of a difference. Other then that it is a great wheel. Also, for me it had to be an aluminium profile rig. Solid as a rock, but most importantly, all the options for future upgrades you have. I startet out with a basic rig and addet on as I could. Just a poor cook. 😁
    But never the less, great Video. Keep it up. 👏👏👏💪😎

    • @carlosribeiroo

      Hey! Yeah I totally agree with you, it's all about finding what works from you and accepting the compromises on that choice. The quick release upgrade is something that will happen sooner or later without a doubt.
      Also reading that you are a cook made me realize I haven't had lunch and the lasagna I made from scratch (humble brag) is sounding mighty tasty right about now.

      Big question, I would say if you are going to get both eventually then the 8nm is the more incremental update that will improve your current experience. The load cell will be transformative and a much bigger adjustment. So do you want a very nice upgrade now or a transformative one?

I do not buy apple products for reasons similar and I'm no longer going to consider fanatec.
