amazing, glad to see the spacebar can have a rest. great review! thanks again for your tutorials, I chained my first figure 8 -> donut -> figure 8 -> donut today!

[@KameTrick]

Thank you, and congrats on linking some turns, such a great feeling when it all starts to click!

[@e.r.6147]

Lol the space bar

[@HasslebackJones]

I wonder how many eBay handbrakes that is worth?

[@KameTrick]

At least 4, if I had to guess 😅💸

[@HasslebackJones]

@@KameTrick only reason I’m okay with this is because I know the amount of R&D was bonkers, Niels Heusinkveld is such a powerhouse in sim racing.

[@KameTrick]

@@HasslebackJones I agree, and I’ve only recently become aware of their product mix. I might have to look at some of their other offerings in the future. I hope to get the chance to collab with them at some point.

[@HasslebackJones]

@@KameTrick If I ever come across more money than I know what to do with, their pedals are my first choice. But I would love to see that, they don’t have much presence here in NA, granted the market is probably slim but it has to be somewhere lol.

[@KameTrick]

@@HasslebackJones yeah, if I ever go that route it would be thanks to my small amount of KZbin revenue. I couldn’t justify the cost of nicer gear than I already have with my day job income 😬

Hey Mike, good to see you here! I didn’t think we’d have too many viewers in common since I mostly do drifting vids, thanks for dropping in to say hello! 🙌🏻 If you ever want to talk shop HMU on the platform of your choice any time ✌🏻

[@zwenkwiel816]

wth, did you get a different mic or something? sounds like i'm listening to a radio show. if this drifting thing doesn't work out you could always do voice overs XD

[@KameTrick]

Haha I did upgrade my mic toward the end of last year (but mainly my understanding of how to record and work with audio) ✌🏻

[@gozz9999]

Why do you keep wheel and hands on screen?

[@jonathanchung7209]

Yes! Time to transition your fanatec over to high quality parts👍

[@KameTrick]

Their handbrake is just a poor design, they did much better with their other hardware 🤦🏻‍♂️ That said I’m still loving my Heusinkveld handbrake today 👌🏻

[@Alex-vz2jz]

I use a flight stick for a handbrake. if it works it works 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KameTrick]

For sure! My budget preference has always been the keyboard space bar kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5XLfIyYmqZ2Y9E

[@RaIkKh]

I have both and I really enjoy using the flight stick just because you can map a lot more functions on all the buttons you have!

[@KameTrick]

@@RaIkKh that’s fair 👍🏻 I mainly simulate 90’s touring and sports cars so there’s literally no functions of note besides steering, brakes, clutch and gas 🤣

[@captainslav6528]

Moral of the story don't buy Fanatec stuff if you can avoid it.

[@KameTrick]

Their V3 pedals are pretty great for the price, the handbrake is surprisingly poor compared to their other stuff, and their wheelbases are great, too. Though the pin interface can be a weak point eventually 5+ years or if you have kids or ppl who are rough on it. I still think Fanatec gear is loads better than all Logi and Thrustmaster offerings. Spending $600-700+ on each peripheral can get you better stuff but many can’t afford that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ryanoneill737]

would you be able to drift mondello park by digital motorsports and tell us what you think of the track?

[@BVTzenamo]

Looks dope. Enjoy it mate 🙂🍌

[@KameTrick]

I can’t wait to get this installed and take it for a rip down Irohazaka!

[@TheRobMozza]

Looks pretty buff Ben, impressive! Regarding the rig re-arrangement, I guess it's part of the course but at least, by having a DIY wooden rig, at least it's easier to do. All the best m8

[@KameTrick]

Yeah it’s nicer than the ebrakes in most real cars lol 🤦🏻‍♂️ I looked at it yesterday night and I def think I’ll need to mod the rig with some new wood pieces to make it work 😅

[@e.r.6147]

Damn Fanatec should feel the shame hard on this one 😛😅😅😅

[@KameTrick]

@@e.r.6147 I like their other products, but over the past couple years I feel like their ebrake...it’s great, but it’s kind of fragile😓

[@Ohrxse-]

Yo I’m struggling my wheel won’t work with the content manager or actual game

[@KameTrick]

Sometimes CM is bad about losing key bindings, but once you get it set it tends to keep working. First, always make sure you fully power on your wheel and pedals before opening CM. If you open CM before the wheel startup sequence finishes you’ll usually have a lot more issues. Second, try closing CM, opening CM, rebinding your keys and starting a race. Give this 2 or 3 tries. Sometimes it will work with just this. If all else fails, close CM, open AC using the default Steam launcher, bind all your keys in it. Close it. Open CM, bind all your keys in it, launch a driving session. Usually this fixes it, or some combination of the above and as much patience as needed, good luck! Also this may have some helpful info kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGrGkGl7hr-td7c

@@KameTrick thankyou

[@afternoonview]

Hi Kame, What are your thoughts on the shifter from Heusinkveld?

[@KameTrick]

I haven’t had a chance to drive it, but I’d be curious to. All my dedicated shifter experiences have been on the Fanatec Club Sport H pattern / sequential offering, which has been pretty solid. My only “complaint” if I could even call it that, is that for arcade games like Initial D where you do some real machine gun up shifts, it’s a little slow to register 2 clicks at max speed. For sim driving I haven’t encountered an issue with it shifting too slowly, there’s always more than enough time 👍🏻

[@afternoonview]

@@KameTrick thanks legend, i did some research on a shifter because I swapped my G29 set for a t300rs gt (thanks to you, and first of all thank you for these tips because it's a day and night difference in drift handling between the two wheels, later on I will go for a moza or fanatec) so now I needed a shifter, but as I only use it for drift (when racing I use the pedals on the wheel) i decided to go for a full sequential. I have read a lot of reviews and price/quality it went between the Heusinkveld and the aiologs. (Didn't want to find myself with the noisy but still qualitative AliExpress shifter) Clearly i preferred the aiologs but i read a lot of extra custom costs that came with it since it's been shipped from Russia, and as a European I made the choice to order the Heusinkveld yesterday straight from their headquarters in Holland. I must say their pack is very complete with the three extra handles included plus mounting pads. Normally Thursday it will arrive, I'll let you know when I tried it out. Thanks for the response 👍

[@afternoonview]

@@KameTrick so I received the shifter, excellent quality I must say. Works perfectly, delivered with 3 extra handles, the only negative point is that when slowly moving the handle it gives a squeaky sound, which could be from running dry or installed too tight from the factory. One thing that is quite impressive with them is their client service. So I contacted them to give me some options of what to do against the squeaking sound. For the rest i can only say it's pro gear for the price they sell it. I also would go for the thrustmaster shifter which can be converted to sequential, but it totally doesn't give that feeling. So I think I made a good choice, hopefully I can fine tune it and or lubricate it that it runs a bit smoother. Anyway I don't have this issue when fast shifting then everything runs smoothly, maybe it's just a ''breaking in'' issue.

[@alfredosolano7594]

Hey Kame Trick I've recently gotten into sim drifting and want to drift on my home track Oklahoma motorsports complex. The document is no longer available on your spreadsheet could you send me the link?

Excellent video again, the content is getting better and better. Also loved the zero two sticker at 2:23 lmao, shes my favourite anime character so that was nice to see!

Thanks, I’m really trying to make each video better and better

[@Zukes454]

have you tried their pedals? apparently they're meant to be best on the market, even better than fanatec v3

[@KameTrick]

I’ve never had the opportunity to try their pedals, but from looking into it, I have no doubt that the Heusinkveld sprints are an improvement, and the ultimates would be even moreso…though a lot like their handbrake, whether you think they are worth the cost is an individual decision with a lot of variables.

[@glennsmith6438]

bro keep do what u do g made love from new zealand u have tought me heaps thank for the vids

[@KameTrick]

Thanks! I’ve been taking a break but coming back to it soon! 💪🏻

[@Chuggnuts]

The fanatec handbrake is awful, mine lasted about two months, it would constantly come loose and you had to have a 50%+ deadzone otherwise anything would set the handbrake off (vibrations from the nearby shifter for example) there was so much play in the actual handle, and lateral movement would also set the handbrake off. I replaced it with the older Huesinkveld handbrake (the one before yours) and while not as fancy as the new one, the build quality is in a different league to the fanatec (I'm not necessarily bashing fanatec, I love the clubsport shifter for example but the handbrake is absolute rubbish)

[@KameTrick]

Couldn’t agree more, Fanatec’s other gear is solid in my book, but the shifter almost feels like they just wanted to get in on that market and outsourced all the design and assembly without doing any checks or quality control, it’s just a poor design from the start 😩

[@Callsign_Jaeger]

nice review mate, can't wait for the HB entry video.

[@KameTrick]

I am so ready to shred on Irohazaka with this thing 👀

[@roostergeeracing6962]

Awesome review. Thank you. Mad skills on the track too.

[@KameTrick]

Thank you! Now that I’m back on track (my wheelbase broke and I haven’t driven for about 1.5 months) I need to do a longer term impressions video on it…tldr: still like it, feels great, get it if you like realism and can justify the cost 👍🏻

[@roostergeeracing6962]

@@KameTrick sorry you had to be out for so long. I wish this shifter worked on my Fanatec with my PS5
