Fanatec DROPS A BOMB on the Direct Drive Sim Racing Market!
Рет қаралды 439,369
Күн бұрынIt's been 2 years now since Fanatec revolutionized the Direct Drive Sim Racing Wheel market with the CSL DD. But in the time since we've seen some hot competition immerge from new brands such as Moza Racing.
Fanatec has just swung back seemingly out of nowhere with extremely aggressive pricing on their CSL DD Bundle, which gives you just about everything you need to get up and racing at an incredibly low price.
So let's check it out and see how it compares to some of the alternatives at around this price point!

So, I just joined this party. I ordered the Fanatec DD bundle at the recommendation of a friend, and I received it a couple of days ago. Maybe I received a unicorn, but I don't seem to have any sort of flex issues with the mount between the wheel and base; however, it is mounted to my desk via the desk mount, so what flex might be there could be cancelled out by my squishier, more flexible mounting spot. I highly recommend, and I already tried selling another one of our friends on it. I'm glad I found your channel (albeit after the fact), and appreciate all the information you deliver about sim racing and the gear required.

I feel you! I asked a question on r/simracing and the responses I got were ridiculous. I ended up buying my first wheel since 2005 - Last year, I got a Logitech Driving Force GT (it's old - from 2007) for $80 off of Facebook Marketplace and a sim racing stand by Vevor for $70 and I'm having a ton of fun. Is it a wheel anywhere as good as this one? - no of course not - can I run laps in Assetto Corsa at Watkins Glen in an MX-5 for an hour while my daughters nap and tune out the world & start practicing the craft- yes! Super happy with my purchase and I can't wait to buy one of these in another year or two when I can afford to splurge. This channel does awesome reviews that are practical for people that have to pay their mortgages/rent and feed a family/themselves.

I bought the basic logitech wheel, peals and shifter for 60 bucks around 6 months ago on ebay and i'm so glad i did. I already had a pc so it's the cheapest fun i've had with my clothes on. I'd highly recommend to anyone getting a basic set up just to get started, unless you're loaded of course but even there's a law of diminishing returns on investing loads of money in performance trems Most sim racing channels are geared towards more experienced racers and come across a bit elitist to me also. i think a lot of them get commission on selling us the newest innovations.

That McLaren wheel is really a good value. I own both the Moza formula mod you showed, as well as the 300mm mod. That required purchasing two full ES wheels to use as donors. Both are extremely nice but when you consider the cost of even one full donor wheel price at $129 plus mod ($79 for 300mm) it is more than that McLaren wheel. Moza needs to start offering the button boxes as an option.

I got the DD Pro bundle with load cell kit attached to my Sim-Lab rig, bunch of Fanatec wheels and its great with my PS5 VR2 setup but I am still thinking about this bundle to use on my PC in other room for casual games such as EUTS, ATS, BeamNG ... the clamp from DD bundle is unused so the fact its missing from this bundle is no problem. I dont have round 300mm rim yet so thats a nice bonus as well. The fact its rubber instead of fake leather is great as I treat my expensive Podium GT wheel in gloves only and sometimes, I just want to game quickly and eat at the same time, look at my phone, alt tab from the game and so on and this cheap rim would be great for those casual games and quick sessions. I'm really tempted to get this bundle but at the same time I think having two very similar DD bases is bit crazy.

I can not tell you in words how devastated I am.

@jamesmoore7858 11 ай бұрын
This has thrown a wrench in my plans. I hadn't intended to get a bundle, but the 5nm base by itself is $350, and for $50 more i could get the pedals and the wheel as well. Now here's the rub: other than the base, i won't use the rest of the bundle. I'm on Xbox, and plan to get the v3 pedals. So that means the pedals and wheel are going to be useless. I'm going to keep watching their pricing and availability for now, but i think it's interesting they've started aggressive price dropping, considering earlier this year they were in dire need of supply. Tough cycle. Dry availability leads to customers going somewhere else, the demand necessitates you build up your supply, but then sales fall off because customers bought the competition when your supply was low. I hope this doesn't lead to another dry spell later down the road.

Been waiting to buy the R5 bundle as my first racing wheel for a while, I thought it was better than the CSL DD at its previous price. But now I think I have to go for the CSL DD bundle, in the UK it's around £150 difference which I think can't be ignored. Being able to upgrade the brake to load cell too is a lot cheaper than doing the same with Moza would be. Plus the 8NM boost kit can be had for about £40 if you just buy a 180W power supply.

Is the wheel base for the CSL DD making any noise when rotating the wheel? I've got a brand new CSL DD for a few weeks now and even when the base is powered on there is some sort of rubbing sound coming from the base when rotating the wheel.

You could get the CSL DD bundle, then add a 90$ drivehub for Xbox and PS4 compatibility. For PS5 you also need a PS4 Hori Mini Pad for like 25$. It's the cheapest way to get compatibility with everything. I'm using my CSL DD bundle with a drivehub on GT7 PS5 right now.

I bought the CSL DD last year. Had it for about 1,5 - 2 months and then I switched to a Simucube 2 Pro 😂 Not because the CSL DD was bad. Simply because I fell head over heels in love with sim racing and now spend hours every day driving. So I wanted that extra power and speed of the Simucube ❤️

I just received my R5 today I was thinking of going with Fanatec but decided that upgrading the wheels or the pedals even to e-brake or shifter its less expensive going with Moza to me and the quality is great! If you're on the fence about the R5 don't be I came from the T300 and ordered mine from Advanced Sim Racing. They are based in Canada I'm in the U.S and I got it in 2 days with free shipping. I'm not using the pedals due to not having the brake mod yet cause it was out of stock so sticking with the TLCM pedals for now. The R5 I think is better than the DD if you're not playing on console keep that in mind.

Good thing for the customers and the effect on the market. I had good experience with Fanatec products, but had issues lately, also with a brand new CSL DD 8nm. The customer support experience was not good at all, mainly because they seem to 'lose' emails and therefor not reply to everything I sent. I'm moving out of the Fanatec ecosystem (although I still think they make amazing products). The aggressive pricing might also be an indication that there will be a upcoming 'midrange' Fanatec DD unit, might be a Clubsport DD priced arount €800 and have something like 12-14nm? I'm just guessing (and hoping...).

Is the QR2 going to be compatible with these cheaper rims though? On the site only the more expensive rims say "READY FOR THE FUTURE. The exchangeable QR1 Wheel-Side (ClubSport Quick Release Adapter) means the wheel can be upgraded easily to the next-generation QR2 system (coming soon)." All of the cheaper wheels mention QR1 and not the QR2 which is weird
