Fanatec CSL Cheap and Simple Brake Mod For Sim Racing Improvement - Wooden Dowel Trick

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.

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

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 !

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

@Ferrari255GTO Месяц назад

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

It has made a nice difference to mine. Thanks buddy, awesome

Ah, KISS - Keep it stupid simple!. Will try this mod when I get my pedals :) good idea.

@vinny9152 2 года назад

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.

@Gurzo82 2 года назад

Good idea! Can you share the file for 3d printing?

@mowglippml Год назад

Thanks very much 👍🏽

@vinigobbi Год назад

Hey man, thanks for the content!! I'll try this with mine. Do you think 15mm works too? Cant find 14mm.

@Yap018_PS5 2 года назад

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...

@bp1496 Год назад

I used a piece of 3/8 automotive heater hose , fit perfectly inside the hole on the stock foam , much more consistent feeling

Is it possible to adjust the brake sensitivity of the standart CSL pedals after the mod?

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 Год назад

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

@ShadowRacing Год назад

first thing i did when i received the peddlas. Its a shame that the out of the shelf option is so uncustomizable

@MrOliverYTGamingandGiveaways 2 месяца назад

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

@noobdaddyraces 2 года назад

Interesting thanks. do you have to unscrew the brake or can you just... jimmy it in?

@dannyleeracing 2 года назад

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...

@JinkoMK9 2 года назад

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.

@dannyleeracing 2 года назад

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!

@Bramster17 7 месяцев назад

just cut out a bigger hole then, save the foam to put back in if you want to reverse it

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

@cyberphonic 2 года назад

Appreciate the effort, but a bit pricey for a tiny cut of wood

@dannyleeracing 2 года назад

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!
