Sorry guys I don't have a GT Omega Apex to test this on any more, but looking at how it works on the PSC I'm sure it will be fine! :)

[@therookiemistake9714]

So no need for drivehub? Nice!

[@boostedmedia]

For those wondering, we tested with the F-GT Lite in our original CSL DD video. Confirming its about the same amount of flex as you're demonstrating here :)

[@KarlGosling]

Pretty much what we'd expect :)

[@ekush2675]

Maybe the csl DD sits further back on the mounting plate vs the Clubsport? As I don't have that much front/back wobble, but with my back issues and very little assembly on the f gt lite it was the easy choice. Upgrade to a proper DD wheel/cockpit one day.

[@X1erra]

Do you notice it when you're racing normally?

[@claywarner6074]

Dude. It's amazing how often I think of a specific sim rig question, type it into the search bar, and one of your videos pops up. Great work, and many thanks.

[@KarlGosling]

lol I must be doing something right then!

[@Ace331FTW]

CSL DD mounted to a Playset Challenge... an ultra budget motion sim! Brilliant! In all seriousness though, I'll be mounting one to a wheel stand come September, hoping to do something similar to your GT Omega ART strengthening. Should be a big improvement over my current G27.

[@TheQuackleDKZ]

Well that did it for me. I'm now comfortable buying the Csl DD when it releases late November. Cant wait! Thanks Karl :)

[@KarlGosling]

No worries! :)

[@mediumsizedcal]

This is exactly the kind of stuff I love about your channel. No frills, just proper reviews of equipment that the majority of people can afford to use in combination with one another. Thank you! There are apparently some half decent kits out there that strengthen the Playseat's wheel mount and pedal mount. There's some kits with reviews saying they're perfect for wheel bases like the CSW, which was also 8Nm of torque. I'm going to be combining the CSL DD, Playseat Challenge and this strengthening kit to see if it's any good. Will report back in 2024 when my Fanatec gear actually arrives!

[@KarlGosling]

Thanks mate! :) Yeah I reviewed a bracing kit from LDS a week or so ago, works well.

Thank you very, very much for another massively helpful video. I just bought the PlaySeat challenge (hasn't arrived yet), but on the basis of this video ... I feel confident now I can pair it with the Moza R9 base @ 9NM. There's just no way I can spare room for any other solution, and my Logitech G23 just isn't cutting it for iRacing either. Cheers Karl :)

This is a great review, glad I found this Karl fella, really good content. I'm on a playseat challenge/G29 set up at the minute. Love the playseat and the pedals of the G29 but not that impressed with the notchy, unrealistic feedback. Going to upgrade to the fanatec soon.

[@KarlGosling]

Welcome aboard!

[@Ben-sc7gf]

@@KarlGosling Thanks mate, subscribed!

[@Swiftmonkey]

Well, I think I'm convinced. After watching many of your comparison videos I think I'm going with a Playseat to pair with my new CSL DD. The F-GT looks nice, but I think the Formula position is just too low for a desk setup (which many probably will have). The slim and quick foldability of the Playseat have sold me, on top of that cattle grid vibration. Thanks Karl!

[@KarlGosling]

Sounds like a good shout mate! :)

[@ekush2675]

I run the csw 2.5/8 NM of torque on my f gt lite with very little flex in the lower formula style set up. Super sturdy compared to the playseat, but also takes a bit more space for the pedals and a reclining chair. I'd say it has a few advantages in sturdyness over the playseat if you have a bit more room.

[@caraboy]

Just upgraded to a progressive spring on my G920 pedals. Makes a lot of difference. There are also DIY arduino-based USB adapter guides over the web, so you can use the pedals independant of the wheel base. That makes the Logitech pedals quite an interesting entry-level set I might say, apart for the potentiometer wear. :) Anyways, it is nice to see the "good old" G920 again in a video. :P

[@GreDrums]

I have a similar setup, Challenge and a full Logitech G27. I got the Leo Bodnar USB adapter for the pedals, since I keep the pedals on the floor all the time. I'll get their USB cable for the shifter once my CSL DD ships:) Thanks for making this video, keep the content coming!

[@KarlGosling]

Sounds good! :) Thanks mate!

[@Froot99]

Just ordered a CSL DD for my playseat challenge, have my wheelplate in the default position so wonder how the flex is gonna be! Thanks for the video, it was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Karl. Love the honest vids. I’m thinking of picking up the new GT7 fanatec wheel. I have to use a playseat to keep it out of the mrs way. What I can’t find on you tube is how anyone has eloquently bolted the CSL pedal set with load cell to it.! The strap simply won’t work, I can see that. Perhaps you could have a fiddle with your csl pedal seat and playseat and post up a vid??

[@Robbi532]

Thanks Karl for the great video! All you need are two broomsticks or something similar in 30cm and 15cm diameter sawn to the right length (measure the height of the wheelbase plate from the floor +0.5cm for tension), 4 wood screws for the centre bars and an adjustable furniture foot. Maybe some black paint to make it look nicer. At least with the T300 nothing wobbles anymore and as a nice side effect the pedal mount of the Loadcell pedals stays on the floor even when braking hard. All in all, it didn't cost me more than 20 euros. Unfortunately I don't know if I can link pictures here.

[@Robbi532]

I'll answer myself ;-) and hope the comment with the links to the pictures will not be deleted ibb.co/RQ38DgP ibb.co/NmgNBgn ibb.co/Mc8mrs6 ibb.co/GTH05fM ibb.co/Zxkh943

[@iFBNm8]

This actually is really clever. Is it possible to put the supports on the arms instead of the plate for better movement freedom?

[@Robbi532]

​@@iFBNm8 I have not tried this but I think the most important thing is that the plate is stabilized. When you push the steering wheel up and down, the plate is the part with the most flex. What also helps a lot is to stabilize the seat itself. Especially when it is on a soft surface (carpet). I have two narrow flat wooden plates (60cm long, 10 cm wide and 1cm high) placed lengthwise under the chair legs. So the seat is very stable and does not wobble back and forth. And that is also all quickly put away when you want to put the seat away ;-)

[@Steve30x]

I got the Playseat challenge Actifit a few days ago. The one and only problem I have with it is the headrest is angled too far forward and it gives me neck pain. I was using the Next Level Racing GT Lite for five months and the playseat replaced it. But what I've done is swapped the pedal mount from the GT lite to the Playseat challenge thing. It bolted on to the playseat perfectly. I also swapped over the wheel plate attachment. I immediately felt that the FFB felt much better with my T400 on the playseat than the GT lite. My next move is to buy the stiffening mods for the playseat.

[@wendext9532]

Hi Karl, great videos and very informative. A kind request for a future vid for someone like myself who has a playseat challenge due to space constraints. I currently have the playseat challenge and logitech g29. I really want to upgrade to the Fanatec DD pro, im just abit worried about how then playseat challenge will handle it. If you could please do a review with the DD Pro with just the 5nm power supply on one of the gran turismo series (7 or sport).

[@nortski78]

Thanks Karl, you've made my mind up :)

[@KarlGosling]

Glad I could help!

[@slootje1338]

to me it seems the flex you have is up and down, i dont imagine it would flex from left to right a lot. but even if it does, it's still your own muscle force against the FFB that could eventually bend something, so you'd still feel the force, i think it would rather create (small) inaccuracy in your steering.

[@TheDeadman14]

Thank you again Karl for doing this!

[@KarlGosling]

No problem! :)

[@TheDeadman14]

@@KarlGosling Hey one quick question though, for long term use wise, will the base be able to handle long term use without bending it from weight and ffb dealt out?

[@huntriel984]

Just don't put loadcel pedals on it. I have done that, and it still works after a few days, but I can feel that one of these days I will destroy the seat. The wheel works fine (it moves but works). The pedals is a different story. Also I have the pedals almost at max range, Karl has the pedals very close to him. So I am thinking that I am a bit longer than he is. This maybe contributes to the wonky feeling I have with the pedals. But for everyone who wants to use loadcell, and dd wheels for that matter, I highly recomend to buy a stronger cockpit that the playseat. It is a matter of time before (at least in my case) the seat falls apart.

[@bh5831]

Great comparison sir, I liked your video. Thank you

[@mj-np9sy]

There's a kit on Ebay if you look up playseat challenge, a guy from Korea 3d prints 3 super sturdy reinforcement brackets to help its movement. I'm putting my Challenge X together right now and have them for it but I wont have tried it without them. I'm not sure they would affect front to back falling forward though. With that said, I can't figure out how you got 3 screws to mount. Maybe the non-X has a different bracket (id be surprised). I can only get 2 holes to line up. The 4 screws i need to use where the rotating bracket is are off center from one another.. so i can only get 2 lined up. Also I'm short so I really wanted the wheel to be pushed all the way forward. Instead we have to put it almost all the way back. Maybe it wont matter when I get going..

Awesome Karl, I'm going to hey a DD because of this video!

[@fofocho71]

Great video, straight to the point to solve our doubts about playseat challenge and Fanatec DD. One question: you are using pedals and shifter from Logitech with your Fanatec base/wheel. I guess it works on a PC with some RJ45 adaptots... but not on playstation, right? Many thanks

[@KarlGosling]

Just plugged in USB mate, but no I don't think this would work on console.

[@NWA_1919]

Can't imagine what a thrustmaster dd wheelbase would look like, since all their stuff is made out of plastic. Would their dd also be plastic i wonder.😄 And don't get me wrong, i like thrustmaster products. I drive a t300, and will be soon selling that and buying a ts-xw base. But i can't see them making a dd base out of metal all of a sudden. They have no expertice in the production and design of such product. Btw. The setup in the video looks surprisingly decent for a foldable cockpit, i'm quite impressed.😄

[@MotocrossRacingOnline]

Good content. I have the 1 class higher Playseat evolution and honestly i am not very happy with it anymore and i got this wheelbase incoming early next month. I allready had to custom make support bars for the pedal plate because it flexed super hard with loadcells on there and now with a Higher NM wheelbase inc i am thinking about going to a higher class sim rig alltogether. This playseat stuff is good for entry level Thrustmaster & Logitech stuff, anything above that i am not really sure honestly.

Hi, thanks for the video, cool to see that it can work even with 8nm! I’m thinking about getting a F-GT lite as I need it to be foldable. Looking at either getting the TS-PCRacer or this to go with it...What would you recommend? I would use the DD with 5nm as I’m not bothered about the extra torque but idk whether the wheel would come too far in towards the chair and would be uncomfortable and the DD would only be held by 3 instead of 4 bolts? (So idk about long term stability?) I’m sort of leaning towards the TS PC racer as I’m more confident it will work with the F GT lite ok...I don’t want to waste money if the DD isn’t really suitable...but I’m open to opinions.

[@KarlGosling]

CSL DD will work perfectly mate, I have a TS-PC Racer here (was my daily for over two years). Three bolts holding it is fine, certainly at only 5nm.

[@jessejames1999]

I started with a playseat with a logitech g29. Budget I know but needed to try using wheel. Playseat really good apart from constantly lifting up whole wheel to exit or enter . But when sat in position and wheel locked in it was solid . Very noisy exiting or entering. Lots of noise from sraps and velcro . But for money a great start to sim racing . Fortunately I've now upgraded to a omega prime rig but it was Playseat that I first tried that gave me the will to upgrade . Still waiting for fanatec to restock grrr. Honestly if you want to try low budget seat using wheel and pedal to see if you want to try it. Then this was great product . 1 last thing I'm 6.5 tall . Yeah pedals can move away far enough for me to get good position . But because wheel can't lower or higher I felt a tad crampt

[@jessejames1999]

Forgot to mention , when your finished racing, the whole thing can actually fold down . Without un bolting or undoing either wheel stand or pedal stand . It fold down to quiete a small space . That can either be stood up straight or layed down . Over all this intro seat is pretty cool

[@johnsonwong8823]

With the T-nut system, would it be possible to mount the CSL DD with the wheel plate in the center position? Thinking the center position would solve a lot of the wheel plate stability problems.

Hi,I have the pkayseat challenge and I'm considering moving up from a Logitech G29 to the Csl DD.I have a question which is a little off topic.Im playing Wrc9 on the logitech,is the feeling of the tyres with the ground a better feeling or more realistic with csl dd.Ive heard its a better feel with games like Asseto corsa competizione.Thanks.

Nice review ! I was thinking about taking that seat and the Fanatec GT DD Pro , but i was wondering if it wasn't too heavy for that seat and no pedals movement problems? I guess this is the same than that one you've tested in that video? What would be your advice? Thank's :)

[@KarlGosling]

Yes mate it's the same, just the console version.

[@sharko108]

@@KarlGosling and that wheel movement we see in the vidéo aint such a problem?

[@mohammedfahim9918]

Thanks a lot mate! Just what I was looking for! Does having a bigger wheel rim make it more wobbly ? Because I want primarily use smaller wheels like the Mclaren or , the wrc, or the f1 wheel. Will those be more stable ?

[@KarlGosling]

Yes it does mate, smaller wheel have less leverage :)

@@KarlGosling Oh perfect! Thank you Karl!

[@squirrelzar]

Amazing how little flex there is, the high steering wheel is something I always didn’t like about the playseat, even my g920 feels high on it

[@KarlGosling]

Yeah it's a pain!

I have the X-Rocker XR Gaming Seat, from most reviews i've seen it has about the same amount of give as the playseat challenge, do you think it would be okay to use with the dd until i can upgrade to a solid cockpit?
