4:35 to be fair to the quick release it looks like the flex is actually coming from the wheel rim itself and from somewhere inside the wheel base, the connection point between the wheel and the shaft itself looked completely solid.

[FilthyCasualRacing]

I think the pro is absurdly overpriced, but the other ones seem to be where they need to be. I've been holding out on getting a new wheel hoping that they would release this so now I think I can make the switch. Hopefully the pump out an updated v3 pedal soon. If not I may end up snagging the p1000s.

Had I not switched to the SC2 Pro from the DD2 almost 3 years ago. It would have cost me over $1300 to upgrade my wheels to proper QRs. The QR was the reason I switched. Bless the affordability of the HRS XeroPlay.

Its criminally disrespectful to be selling something for a high price, whereas the competition like Moza offer it on the cheapest wheels and wheelbases. Thanks Fanatec for the extra cost 🥲

[StancedMK]

The cheapest one doesnt seem to have flex, it was the rim itself flexing hard. While overall the middle of the price is the best for price. The cheap one is perfect for the cheap bundles Fanatec provides.

I think this is a good update to compete against MOZA and Simagic. Now, they need a truly premium option to compete in the brake space as a $500 option that is Heusinkveld Sprint quality and console compatible is certainly needed.

FYI, you don’t need to pull the sleeve to push it on. Just push it on. Only need to pull the sleeve to take off

[vjollila]

4:40 I think i see more move on wheel base itself and wheel than on the qr there

[traviss]

Fanatec knew what they were doing when they released the Pro a month before the preorders for the Normal edition go out. Trying to get as many people as possible to overspend on almost the exact same product...I'll wait.

[akpanjennings]

I’m just getting standard QR2 then painting them

[ncokicsi]

For me it poses the question if I should make the switch to asetek now for the extra cost

[imwishhez]

Ofc this comes out as I order a CSL DD and QR1 lmaoo

[ThePudgyPlatypi]

as long as the thing doesn't clack around like my QR1 it seems a worthy upgrade...ima wait to make sure tho

[DevioussJohnson]

yes dad I know I was just ran over by a bus and need to go to the hospital but i need to watch the new oc racing video

[eugenecia]

I have different experience with QR2. I have DD1 and WRC wheel with qR2 and qR2 light on WRC wheel, I have no flex at all, a little bit on the wheel itself. Had the qR with rotary knob on WRC wheel. I don't even miss my Hi Tork, it is so a big progress.

[simwhite.]

No joiny thing that attaches to another joiny thing is worth that price

[Elijah]

I just wish they made it slightly shorter as the current qr1 feels a bit long with a wheel added on when im using it
Aside from that it seems great

[mr_misty]

What I am wondering is should I upgrade just to the qr1 metal one since it is only 50 bucks now and not upgrade to qr2 since the light is affordable but lots of flex but the normal qr2 would be quite expensive to upgrade to

[haraldjohansen]

So, what would be the point in buying this if I already have a metal qr that works just fine?
