[@pdxholmes]

I have the podium shifter kit on my F1 rim and the paddles are solid. I've never had an issue with mine in over a year of heavy use, despite them being thin. Because of the magnetic actuators and short throw you don't put the kind of lever force on them that would weaken them. The original shifters were much easier to yank on too hard and on my original Formula Carbon rim I have absolutely bent the metal shifting plates on accident.

[@d3tach3d]

Those analog paddles is the first ive seen on a wheel. soo freaking cool, but soo expensive. Having two extra Axis like that is just a great idea and adds a lot of flexibility. The only issue I see is that those Axis paddles a really far back from your fingers. If you can barely reach the main paddle I can see trying to use those with any sort of comfort could be an issue. Love your vids, Barry! I watch them all. Thanks for the great breakdowns and honest opinions instead of being a shill.

[@STEPPENWOLF411]

I just wanted to inform you on your pedal shifter the smaller one is screwed from the back side also they say for a larger wheel you want to use the spacers that's why you're having problems reaching for them. Just a heads up and thanks for the video. You do awesome work!👍🏻

[@MegaCm123456]

Some additional tips to anyone looking to assemble their Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 R Podium wheel kit. Some things to do different from this video: 1) The small paddles should be attached the opposite way to shown in this video so they sit farther from the rim. 2) You should use the spacers to bring the large paddles closer to the wheel rim. This way the paddles are easier to reach and it is easier to manipulate the different paddles as they are offset distance wise from the rim. 3) When attaching paddle wires to the hub, use the cut out holes on the top, not on the sides. It will be a much cleaner look wires-wise. Also, FYI: I just received two sets of the Advance Paddle module and the carbon is now 3 mm thick.

[@stryker1992]

nice advises 👌

[@momorious]

Barry, you forgot to use the spacers on the APM Paddles for easier distinction between the upper and the Shifter Paddles. Also, the upper Paddles should be mounted from the back, not from the front (which already gives a slight gap for distinction between the Paddles so you don't accidentally push the wrong Paddle, especially when driving in VR and with Gloves). The cables of the APM should be as deep in the Podium Hub as possible, it's fitting well so no reason to not push the cable all the way in, looks much better and it doesn't popping out ;)

[@simracinggarage3026]

Spacers were not used because I did not want the paddle reach staggered. Muscle memory works well enough for me. But yes that is an option. Stuffing the thick cables against the PCB to take up the slack certainly is an option. But I would rather not take a chance of any cable rubbing on the PCB. The way the BME covers that part of the APM and captures the cables will keep them in place quite nicely.

[@ErnieGaming]

Agree with the small upper paddles. I've mounted them from the back to get a little extra gap to the GT paddles. And i think it's the way it meant to be mounted. Upper paddles from the back, GT paddles from the front.

[@momorious]

ErnieGaming correct.

[@bertram-raven]

A quick look at the instructions would show you the cables are meant to cross over inside the hub :)

[@fredrikahlinder5523]

Since the rim as a “stand alone” product gets a recommendation it would have been interesting to see how an Ascher button box worked with it. The competing teams right now when it comes to new higher-end gear seems to be Fanatec DD vs Simucube 2. So this rim with a SC2 compatible button box like the wireless one from Ascher could be a very interesting product for many!? Thanks for another great video from the SRG!

[@thomaswyatt199]

I just got the podium hub and it has a lot of play. So I tried to use the bolt but it's not long enough to reach the threads in the hub shaft. I never had to use the bolt with any of my other wheel rims.

[@EliteSwedenPhotography]

Would really like to know if the clearance on the button box is enough for the OMP Superquadro wheel?

[@ascott741]

Barry, I was wondering if this button box works at all with the csl elite wheel base. Website says no, but wondering if any of the functions work, buttons etc.

[@Matiz69]

[@Mexmex1975]

[@hooviedoovie5220]

Can you try multiple different wheels on this button box? I'm very interested in just the button module but I'm afraid my wheel's spokes may be too large and contact the buttons on the bottom right and left. I'm interested in a thicker spoked 300+mm wheel and the Turn R20 wheel rim

[@bowentian2485]

Hi Barry, I remeber in your DD2 review you mentioned that the fanatec quick release system is never a tight fit, that the wheel wobbles a little bit when attached to the motor. Is it the case here with the podium hub? Thank you very much!

[@aaroraisanen4650]

Hi Barry or chat, I'm after a dd wheel for more power as I like old group c cars and basically my tsxw clips like mad so I can only run I'm guessing about 1.half nm, I know I can get a simagic for 800 pounds but do I have any other options, some input would be grateful

[@ItsEpicWesley]

I really wonder when they'll add support so the podium endurance module compatibility to the clubsport wheel base? I know they stated it was coming but haven't seen anything else about it. I just got my first full clubsport fanatec setup but I accidentally ordered the podium wheel instead of the clubsport one and they don't sell the module separately so now I'm stuck and trying to figure out what my best options are, really a shame I spent all the cash and a simple error has completely sidelined me. Would love to hear what fellow fanatec people have for suggestions. Would they maybe swap it out? I'd be fine paying a restocking fee or something.

[@Jetghostwolf]

You got me thinking Barry, what rim sizes would be perfect to cover all bases? I currently have a momo 350mm deep dish for nascar, drifting and regular road cars, 320mm for performance street and exotics. Completing my ‘end game’ set with a formula rim, is 250mm to small or would a 270mm be a better compromise? 🤔🤔🤔

[@simracinggarage3026]

For me, I would not want anything less the 270mm. But rim size preference is a subjective thing.

[@racecrashrepeat]

Hi Barry. I hope you can answer this. I just received the kit your reviewing here. On the podium hub, i noticed one of the gold pins that connect to the motor is shorter than the rest. Is this normal??? Are you able to check on your hub if thats the case? Thank you in advanced

Barry, use the spacers on the gear change paddles and that makes it easier to reach for the smaller paddles.

[@alpha007org]

I would like for paddles to be 1mm thicker and smaller paddles somehow easier to reach. I don't know why, but this replica doesn't have quality and durability written on it on the first sight. I don't like Fanatec their brand name everywhere possible and their support isn't something to write home about. ... Still searching for a new wheel... I'm heavily leaning towards Ascher F64-USB button box and some quality 300mm rim...

i love your info mate you have made some of my buying decision easy, i am stuck on now to factors do i get the fanatec eco system or buy the simucube dd and get v3 peddles from fanatec and then what i am confused on is there way to hook up say fatantec wheels to the simubue dd base. cheers if anyone can share some info on it

[@berrydex]

I believe you can get Fanatec wheels to work on Simucube but it needs permanent cable between the steering wheel (Clubsport or Podium hub) and the PC (And a Fanatec - Simucube adapter ofcourse). As for the Podium wheels I think a lot of the functions of the wheel will NOT work. If you like the rims go for Fanatec, that is what I did. Even though I initially was looking for Simucube. But I was also already in Fanatec ecosystem.

[@MrFrosty888]

Explosivefibers yeah I am not in that eco system at all but I do like the v3 peddles and shifter and handbrake. But over all thoughts on dd wheels sc2 seems to be the option I might go if I end up with dd base. I am weighing it up as it’s looking more n more like arm and leg just to get what Eva setup really. That said my mind keeps telling me it’s sc2 I want.

[@samgh7166]

@Sim Racing Garage hi Barry, There is a set with the same rim and podium bottom module endurance but with the universal hub. Could you please tell me if there's a benefit to get podium hub over universal hub for 100 €/$ more. I want to buy this set but can't decide between podium and universal hub. Thanks in advance.

[@TrAcHannuzz]

The Universal hub comes with the standard shifters of the uni hub, so if you want better shifters a magnetic paddle upgrade will cost you 99dollar/euro making it a price of 650dollar/euro so actually if you want the podium paddles its the better deal with the podium hub because you get the podium paddles already in the deal so you save 80dollar/euro taking that one. I have heard though that the magnetic paddle shifter upgrade of 99dollar/euro is actually stiffer then the podium paddle shifter upgrade so it’s totally up to you if you want the extra paddles or not. Hope this helped you in any way and good sim racing ! ( I’m looking for the same wheel at the moment so glad to share the knowledge)

[@VodkaRob]

Hi im a paraplegic and looking for a wheel that wont blow my bank account to pieces that i can have full breaking and acceleration control on the paddles. Can you help me out?

[@Nico-kt4st]

The controls can be custom mapped in game, so you should be able to do this as long as the wheel has paddles, maybe the Thrustmasteer T80 or something like that?

I still think a buying cheaper knock off Ebay replica sparc, momo, ferrari, omp, posrche wheel, etc, at around 30-50$ is still the way to go for most people with the ability to use aftermarket 6 hole wheel. I have a $35 OMP suede Deep Dish Rally Wheel and a $50 Porsche Wheel like this one with easily a 1000 hours of hard driving on both using a CSL Elite. No Flex, material, or thickness issues. A wheel itself is the most simple thing on a rig (not talking about buttons, adapters, paddles, or anything that attaches to it so you can use it) . I know real ones are stronger and better materials but Im not driving a real race car and most arnt running 10-30m of torque with Direct Drive wheels. Love your vids, Barry!

Can you tell me what you search on Ebay for most wheel rims? I am not having quite as much luck!
