Testing the new Fanatec CSL Pedals [First Look]

Fanatec have sent me pre-productions versions of the CSL Pedals, Clutch kit and  CSL Tuning Kit. These are, I'm told very close to the final retail specification of these new sim racing pedals, though there may be some aspects of the aesthetics or design that may change. And since that's the case, it's important that this video isn't viewed as a review - it's just a first look at a pre-production version of an upcoming product.

Torx are way more durable than hex. This makes a lot of sense considering they had threading and torque issues with a lot of screws

Don’t knock torx screws just because you lack the tools. They should be looked at as a welcome upgrade as they are fundamentally better than hex or Phillips.

People complained so much about stripping bolts on Clubsport Pedals. Switching to Torx is the best thing they could to. Anyone complaining can go kick rocks.

Is it just me thats liking Chris more and more every time he uploads?

[egj]

The quality of your videos is mindblowing. Audio, video, commentary, lights and the content is just stunning. You are awesome

[drizz]

yay you survived the edit marathon!! great work again, a solid maybe you say, think i need to find a stage coach to "borrow" from .
informative and fun, top marks sir nice.

[brandonburt]

I don’t understand how you don’t have way more subs like I get sim racing is a niche market but your video quality is so high that even if I wasn’t interested I’d probably still watch

[hernanialves]

2 videos in a row? Too much to process now! 😃

[CuddlyJon]

Can't wait to upgrade later on this year. I'll be coming from a G29 wheel, logi pedals, shifter, VR headset and playseat challenge. Has been an absolute blast with this setup but I'd love the higher quality of a DD wheel.

[alsheatonism]

May the Lord bless my hustle. I genuinely need these pedal set as well as the CSL DD.

Great video Chris. Loved the smoke😁.

I cannot buy you coffee yet, but I'm not skipping any ads.

Quality stuff.

Love how fanatec are going to have mid level products at entry level prices the dd is such a good deal they will never have them in stock

[yourbraziliansimracer]

Now that’s actually affordable! Upgrading from a G29 pedal set might be interesting. Thanks, Chris. Cheers 🏁

[gtijet]

I cant wait for all this to drop been using a Logitech G29 for a few years and been waiting to get into the Fanatec gear till now

[ashliehiggins]

Torx are way better than having hex screws/bolts, as you're less likely to strip them with a 200lb gorilla.

Reviews on new Fanatec hardware always seems great and give you the "I wanna buy it now" kinda feeling. Looking for the same review after one year of usage (in the case you succeed to reach that long). Anyway, thx for sharing

[wwjnz]

A definite maybe. That about sums up my feelings on these pedals. I was considering them to replace my CSLE LC pedals, but I think I am either going to hold out for a set of CSP V4's (if it happens) or go further up market. I have a little more time on the current CSLE LCs so I am not in a rush.

[brianjackson]

Thank you for taking the time to review this new pedal set. Surprising they sent them out with out the load as per rumor if they can ship a load cell pedal set for $ 200.00 I have to think they are going to fly off the shelves. Lastly is it possible to put a stronger after market spring in the throttle ?

[JBarrandon]

but how are they compared to the CSL Elite pedals?

[fourutubez]

Torx are going to replace most hex key applications so may as well get the tools are you go

7:57 what we came for. Nice video still, Chris
