CSL Elite Pedals V2 - Unbox First Look And Talk

[@RidgwayRacing]

Hall sensor is a huge improvement on the throttle (I assume it's on the clutch as well. They formerly used a potentiometer senor reading rotation of plastic gear (why plastic!). The throttle had a metal gear that engaged with and rotated the plastic one attached to the potentiometer shaft. Wear on plastic gear would cause input blips and misreadings. I experienced this and semi successfully installed a homemade hall sensor with 2 magnets and a 3D printed a hall sensor mount, removed the old worn out potentiometer components. Was able to get it read on the pc but ended up with new pedals before I could make it better, dodgey soldering on my part. With a hall sensor, the magnets are attached to throttle and the hall sensor which doesnt move reads the amount of gauss (magnetic field flux) from the magnets moving with the throttle pedal. Magnetic field strength increases the closer the magnets are to the sensor. Great to see them make this change because it is contactless and now no concerns of pot sensor wear they had previously!

Came for the pedals, stayed for the groin.

[@vrdrifters8237]

Thats what I’ve done with my v1s, switched the gas pedal with the clutch pedal for a better feel. Works well.

[@ziljanvega3879]

If it’s like the V1 CSL Elites then yes you can swap the accelerator and the clutch. I did. They use the same RJ11 connector so you can just swap the connectors in the control unit after swapping their physical location on the pedal base plate, and the pedals (or wheel base) will recognize them correctly.

"After the third flip, I lost control" is clearly Neymar's quote

[@rememberthefuture944]

they finally put holes in the footrest to mount without hassle, nice.

[@TomasPiliponis]

Great review, and even better sense of humor. Thank you, good sir.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

This is not a review it's an unboxing. I have only used the pedals for 20hours or so , so am not in a position to review them yet.

[@siremangoes]

I got my CSL Elite Pedals V1 about a year and a half ago and they work perfectly. Personally I’m going to wait to upgrade to Heusinkveld pedals but I can’t recommend the CSL Elites enough, especially for your first load cell kit

[@MrEDET]

Same, the v1 is great and if I would upgrade it would be Heusinkvelds. But for new buyers the v2 seem to be a fantastic choice.

[@tabs1913]

A new video! I was getting withdrawal symptoms.

Fantastic first look mate! I sincerely enjoyed your sense of humour and subscribed immediately

Quote from GM @ 5:45 "The brake feels pretty good as far as hand feel". And to think I was using my feet to brake - no WONDER? I'm so slow, hahahaha

So if I understood correctly thx to the USB cabel being included you don´t need to buy the ClubSport USB Adapter anymore?

[@ZheikoNileth]

Went from CSR Elite first gen load cell brake pedals to 100kg elastomers pedals, and struggled at first few weeks, then got used to it to the point where I wouldnt wanna have it any other way - Yes, its stiff at first, but I have managed to learn to modulate by the force and not distance - which was what I was doing with the CSR Elite pedals. The way they were built was also odd, because I couldnt really push my leg into it without it slipping as the pedal would fold down after just few mm of travel so much, that my feet would start sliding up and above it.

After the third flip, I lost control………… - Don Roberts after crashing in the Jade Grenade at New England Dragway in 1975.

[@edteach3r]

James, when you do test them, could you point out how the V2s differ from the previous generation? I own a pair of CSR Elite pedals, which I have been using for 12 years. The reason that I have not upgraded is that my pedals have the adjustable load cell, which you can easily adjust with a dial on the brake pedal itself. I am not sure why Fanatec discontinued that.

[@carlosernestoayala9965]

Because you can do that now digitally through the tuning menu in the wheel base using any of the current era steering wheels. 👍🏻

[@Sliderz33CSGO]

Congrats Fanatec on the new release but how about you release the QR2 that has been talked about for over 2 years now. But great first look at the pedals.

[@luuify]

Damn. You really had to wait a whole year after making this comment lol

[@TheJAMF]

17:05 "if it works, it works"... and there is the rub. All that rubbing the slider does over the carbon track on a potentiometer, it has a tendency to wear through. Or before that, become spikey. Most (heavy) users of the first gen McLaren wheel have encountered issues with the clutch bite point not returning to zero. Flightsimmers with joysticks that use pots have all encountered the issue. To avoid RMA or replacing pots yourself every number of years, Hall-Effect sensors remove that problem. They cost a bit more, but what price do you put on longevity?

[@523motorsports]

Looking forward to the review. It's time to upgrade my t150 that I've been using for the past year. Pedals first. I want to see if these will be good enough or If I should maybe get the VRS pedals at double the price. I'm looking to buy pedals that I will be satisfied with and not really want to replace with something else eventually.

[@vitodiomede79]

Hi mate, thanks for your video. I have the csl pedals but I hate them, I tried varoius mod but I can't find feeling with the brake pedal. I don't know if the v2's worth the upgrade or is better try something better like sim magic p1000 or conspit cpp lite. Are there something news about a new fanatec high-end pedals set? Thank you

[@braxatoris7757]

I replaced the gas pedal with a clutch pedal.. there is a stiffer spring.. now it is much better

[@counterdebate]

I totally removed the clutch and the brake.. I'm too much faster now! 😁

[@growfishgrow1]

Love the plants 🌱 👊

[@xxManscapexx]

Sounds like a McRae quote, specifically when he flipped the Subaru seven times, fired it up, and kept going. I think he set the second fastest time. This is all very foggy in my memory. Edit: nope, I'm wrong, Don Roberts.

[@alpacaman6256]

[@523motorsports]

[@baccattack]

Pricey. From memory I paid the same for my CSP v3.

[@FunkyTR]

not sure if you've noticed but EVERYTHING is more expensive than it was a couple of years ago. Sim racing does not exist in a vacuum.

do you still have the protective film on your watch?

[@tarnishedd]

So can you swap the accelerator and clutch pedals?

[@jahshjahsh2002]

I wish Fanatec forces everyone to buy inverted-only pedals so they know what they're missing out on and thank her later.

[@Daz555Daz]

Nah. I prefer standard.

[@jahshjahsh2002]

@@Daz555Daz inverted IS standard. the only car that has anomaly weird pedals is 1965 VW Beetle and Mclaren F1. Fanatec makes this way because it saves costs.

Finally... I really like my Elite pedals, but the potentiometers... They really don't like my dusty apartment. :)

[@MrEDET]

I bought some potentiometers for my v1, costed around 15 euro.

[@TheJAMF]

@@MrEDET And how long did it take to replace, including driving to the shop or waiting for them to arrive? Could you do it while they were installed in your simrig or did you remove them and fix it on the coffee table? Was it adrop in replacement or did you solder the plug back on?

[@MrEDET]

@@TheJAMF whoa what a lot of questions :) It took 3 days to arrive by mail and installing took me 5 minutes. Maybe 4.

[@TheJAMF]

@@MrEDET Ah, so it sounds like a drop in replacement and crawling on your knees under the wheel in your rig.

[@MrEDET]

@@TheJAMF Yes it was extremely easy to replace them. If you do a bit of googling or searching on youtube you can easily find more info. Well worth it to replace them.

is it possible to use the load cell brake on the V1 pedals?

When can we expect to see you race with these so we can see if they make you much more faster 🤣?

IV been using them for the last three live streams done about 20 hours of racing , not quite ready for a review yet though.

[@akpanjennings]

Ya how about actually updating the 7year old “flagship” pedals with pedals that actual share their flagship series namesake

I don't need a brake pedal.....it slows me down!
