How good is the Fanatec CSL DD for drifting? 

If you want people that know how to drift check Goosiest, Ctoretto, K3BAB. Everything else, subscribe to me. Disclaimer: Unit send by Fanatec for review. Affiliate on the description.

DISCLAMER: "I'm not this big drifter like ctoretto or other". I luv U mate! thumbs up as always for U! Keep doing what U doing :)

This wheel is perfect for all your Tofu delivery needs.

Good to hear your impressions, especially compared to the CSL Elite and T300 belt drives!

I'm on a G29 till March, but damn looking at how quickly your wheel turns compared to my wheel, makes me so jealous haha! The G29 rotates really slow compared to this lol, can't wait till March when I hopefully get my GT DD Pro!

I'm still using my 20 !! year old Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro, now that's budget! (But I admit, the time to upgrade has come.... :P)

I think the perfect budget wheel for drifting is the T300rs, that u can get for 320 euro (in germany atleast) and that includes the pedals aswell, the fanatec base, wheel and 3 pedals will be more like 700 euro, that's early highend prices, far from budget.

Amazing video! 🔥 Only thing I'm missing is the force feedback settings. Please make a video where you show your aspect of the different settings for drifting!

lmao I like the fact that this is condsidered “budget” while I am still using my DFGT :D

So, coming from outside the ecosystem (G27), how much do you recommend this? I specced out what I think I need (Base + Boost Kit + Wheel + Pedals), and it's coming up north of €800. Also needing to be bought are still the H-pattern shifter and a rig to mount everything to. All this kind of pushes it (far) out of the "budget" section for me. Admittedly, my only reference is a G27, but I'm not sure if I can justify this to myself... :P Compared to other DDs though, it's certainly great, but the rest of the things required for a setup are so pricey... Which wheel did you use, and which did you recommend? I selected the "CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC" since it appears to be the only "round" selection with enough buttons and paddle shifters.

I think that this would have been better if it had already came with the "power pack" and it was 400$ not 350$

5nm is still spinning that wheel super fast. My t150 wheel requires a lot of help to counter steer. 1 more month before my dd arrives

this wheel i think is great for ppl on a budget for drifting. Im on a simucube pro and im running 5.5 nm on it for drifting, and racing is 13.5nm

The perfect budget driving wheel for making the perfect runs, amirite

For me, I have spent around 300 hours in total with the T300RS and I had to fix it once because the logic board died. Did get an early version T300 with a broken drive mechanism with everything else working for free tho so this wasn`t an issue for me. When drifting I DEFINETLY want the wheel to turn faster when transitioning, I often find myself kinda helping it along by throwing it into the opposite direction so it skips the "windup" time it would usally need to get the wheel going. But you get used to this no problem with time, but it feels like getting used to a baby crying. It´s annoying and it´s always present when in use and it limits what you can do but if you work around it it´s surely livable. For ANYTHING else, I think a gear or belt driven wheel is plenty for anyone who isn´t looking to become a pro at their division, but with DDs now beeing to comparatively cheap compared to what they used to cost 2-5 years ago it´s surely worth thinking about especially when building a first setup. Also consider noise, the DDs are virtually silent, while the belt or gear driven ones make a good deal of noise considering there is mechanics going on in there.

ah yes, sim racing Goku uploaded

upgrade from G29. pre-order w/boost kit + wrc wheel + V3 pedal. i got WRC wheel and V3 pedal. except csl dd. my csl dd will ship after Sep 20th. i probably will get more wheel (gt3 v2 or formula 2.5)

I know this is an old video but this is too good not to share, get a Philips Fabric Shaver to make the fabric on your wheel like brand new again.

legend i have been waiting for someone to review this wheel for drifting not just track times haha

woah whats your neck fx settings? it looks incredible

I should have my CSL DD next week, if you can't tell by my name I like to drift:P

lmao that centering speed is needed in dirt rally 2.0 my g923 can barely keep up in that game

i still doesnt get how u ppl can drift with this cam settings, started like this too and was horrible af on my t300, found the right settings for it and changed the cam pov etc. + neckfx for a better feeling, everything else than interior view or roof cam is ( in my opinion) trash in assetto, try cam settings like u would actually sit in the real car and not like ure the 90yr grandpa sitting right on the wheel, would change ur life i swear but great review! going to get the csl dd soon finally to see the diff to my t300, hard to tell just from videos if its good or not, hope its more good than bad

I'm sorry, this is not a good comparison. the 2nd run uses no gloves. (:

How is your wheel recentering so fast on both beamng and Ac and its so slow compared to this Have the 8nm boost kit aswell

The way you handle the wheel is so good

im sitting here with my gear driven wheel like.... so, is drifting just easier when the wheel does everything by it self? really seems that drifting is all in thethumb and index finger. so, the big question is. why use thisinstead of a gear driven or belt driven? i just dont get it

I think its worth it in every section. With Pedals and a wheel, the Base cost around 700 Euros and thats really good for that much amount of quality

Guys I think its plenty, my 2 nm g923 is more than enough force for drifting in assetto corsa.

That’s true there a lot of RU-vid drifter but not one of them did a review yet on drift for the DD Thank you I was looking for this

i was drifting once on simucube wheel with 32nm and ffb set at around 50-70% best experience on simulator ever

What map is this and if anyone knows is there a link ?

would this be a good first wheel/setup, i'm not into sim racing but more on sim driving since i will be playing eurotruck. beamng Drive, and forza horizon (mostly free roaming), since i want to feel a realistic driving feel, or the t300rs be enough and just change the pedal and shifter with the fanatec ones?,

Guys please help me I was using G29 I have switched to the csl dd 8nm I'm in love with it in Forza horizon 5 but in assetto Corsa it's really so hard to turn it's so jiggly tits so harsh I can't even drift 5 minutes straight I have been watching so many videos to help me i feel very disappointed 😞

Do you have Soft Lock on in AC settings?

That monitor is a 34" Ultrawide right?

Ooh what track/map is this?!

Alright im buying one, shit.... Next year i will be with one for sure, be happy that im spending money on fanatec bacause of your video...

does the old P1 wheel from CSL Elite bundle fit the CSL DD ? (not planning to swap wheels so no need for a QR)

Does drifting cause damage to the CSL DD in the long term ?

is there a video where it explains why i should choose Fanatec wheels over G29. Sounds idiotic but it would be nice to actually be introduced to fanatec on some aspects

Kinda suck at drifting with my g29, have a CSL dd on the way hopefully I get better at drifting

On the five Newton meter setting. Did you turn up the force feedback on the force feedback controller in assetto Corsa to 200

good vid and thx for all the info. i just wannato let you know that the car your driving also has a 3gear🤣🤣jk

about rotation speed, I think that is all down to software, cause these direct driven motors can spin with 1000rpm if you want. (which would be around 15 spins a second)

Question - "How good is the Fanatec CSL DD for drifting?" Answer - "Yes."

What's your exact settings on fanatec and AC?

So man I’m a beginner and I’m a drifter type player so which one will I take personal preference by you

After watching this, clubsport wheel base for sale.

If I had my G27 hooked up, with it's pedals and it's Hshifter, but then also hooked up the direct drive wheel, could I go into Assetto Corsa and assign the DD as the wheel, and the G27 pedals and Hshifter- without assigning the G27 wheel itself? As in, I'd have my old G27 pedals and Hshifter to save money, but I would have the G27 to the side and not clamped, with the DD clamped in its place. Is such a thing possible? Could someone test it?

Turn voice up and car noise down, thank you

The consensus I've seen is that the wheel clips a lot in 5nm, because it is designed to make 8nm, and the power supply's price is where it's at to make up for selling the base at a loss.

It would be fun to see a review of the 8nm setup attached to a cheap desk to see what that would look like.

You know what would be cool to add by the people behind the content manager etc ? Engine stalling and startup like in competizione :)

play the video at 1.25 speed. You're welcome.

Bro please could you tell me the settings ?? I’m struggling to get it right

what are you wheel setting for drifting?

Repping kame house 🔥🔥

Can anyone tell me what this track is called?

Yo this would be fun drifting on carx,beamng and rds

I mainly play rally games, please can you do a comparison on wrc9/dirt rally 2?

How does it lock up like? Being a direct drive is it a hardware stop, or some type of software stop at max steering angle?

Hey! Very nice video! I was wondering about the noise of the CSL compared to the T300RS while drifting specifically? Is the CSL REALLY quiet in comparison? Because my biggest issue with the T300 is the FFB noise it's doing when countersteering. The loud "vvvvvvvvv" noises (when the wheel spins) which go through the walls and is annoying for people at home, especially during evenings. Could you make a video comparing the noise of those two during a drift session? :) Thank you for your very informative videos!

hello, does the fanatec p1 steering wheel lock well? the holes where the screw passes are not aligned

you the real mvp, i almost only drift and this is a important thing for me when i am looking at the CSL DD

For drifting you also have to buy a separate shifter because you can't find the paddles when the wheel is spinning fast - or are the paddles on this wheel stationary and separate from the wheel?

hello what eyetracking hardware do you have

Dam I want even the 5nm bad. I gotta help the tmx to spin back lol

Id like to know how the csl dd handles some of fanatecs heavier wheel options for drifting like the ''clubsport streering wheel classic 2 v2'' as im considering this wheel for my csl dd coming in October!

RC there's a slight audio sync issue at the end

If only you could get a CSL DD in New Zealand. A Thrustmaster TS-PC setup with a ferrari rim, load cell & shifter is $2000.

“Not needed but they are a must have” 🤣

what's your favorite wheel? and how does it compare to this?

What is that steering wheel?

What wheel is this?also what game?

👍

"not needed but a must have" :)

What servers or maps is this?

test cls dd with Vdc car pack pls

설정 방법좀 알려주세요

You can use the thrustmaster shifter with the fanatec wheel????

Your settings for drift for the DD

can you put any steering wheel on it? I dont want to pay 400eur for a wheel

Still no available till October waaaahhh

another consideration with the 5nm option is you can go with the cheaper csl hub, so you can save more money there.

What wheel is that?

U drove better with 5!!?

did I miss something? It says it's available in November

Hey man enjoying watching someone learn to drift. The wdts pack is good but I recommend trying out the gravy garage pack.

Can you do a rally test?

what touge is this?

Maybe I need this wheel

elo

What game is that?

im sorry? did i miss something? since when is 500 euro for the base itself budget????

Olá Random Callsign sou subescritor do Teu canal e estou com algumas duvidas, visto que já experimentaste quase tudo que existe no mercado queria-te perguntar 2 coias: - Achas que vale a pena trocar o Thrustmaster T500 pelo Fanatec CSL DD? - Caso me aconselhes a trocar é melhor optar pela fonte bost que dá 8Nm ou pelo volante fanatec BMW GT2 V2?

My man cant even drift and doing a drift review ;)

I’d say rally racing is more hardcore on wheels than drifting…

I use a Logitech G29 and can hang with the best of them, when drifting. I am planning on buying one of these fairly soon, though.
