Owners of Fanatec Clubsport V2 Pedals

Sorry for bringing this thread up but i have almost decided to buy these pedals. it feels a bit weird since they are much more expensive then my wheel (dfgt) but i have felt in love by watching reviews etc and i think this will pretty much be a one time cost.
Will probably do my order this month or next but i would love to hear your opinions about these pedals and AC which is the game i will use them for mostly.

unfortunately the clubsport shifter SQ doesnt get in stock until 2015-02-28 but I can wait for that..

So, you guys who have been using them for a while, could you give me some pros and cons? Even if they talk about this in reviews its nice to hear from the people actually using them on a daily (?) basis.

 

pros: well they're really nice
cons: the damper fluid leaks.....at least for me it did....

 

Doesn't matter if you get the CSP1, CSP2, or Clubsport Elites; it will be the best bang for the buck you can spend in sim racing IMO.

 

Thanks for the answer guys. That they leak oil doesnt sound that good tbh and I have been reading more people having those issues.

If your steam profile is correct you both live in the us but how long did it take for you to get your pedals after order? I live in eu but it should tell me something if it take a week or a couple of weeks at least.. i will do the "standard delivery".

 

IDK....2 weeks sounds right.

By the way, you should order the shifter now, with my experiences with fanatec, ordering before it's in stock is always a better idea.

 

I dont think i have that kind of cash to pre-order it now. It will cost 217.07€ including shipping and with christmas coming up etc its a bit much money. But thanks for your advice, i will probably do it in January so its at least pre-ordered.

 

The shock woes are a Cheap fix with a Mugen Shock from ebay. I wouldn't let that deter you from getting the V2's. They are Awesome pedals.

 

after 2 years I changed out the shock for a mugen mbx7, I also moved the pushrod up to the third hole on the pedal arm, swapping out the shock is simple and the mugen fits right in, one of the best and cheapest upgrades ive done, feels suburb, stiffer and more precise

 

I knew you would love it paul.

 

Pro:
better resolution than logitech pedals
Pressure-sensitive loadcell braking superior to logitech pedal-position braking - consistent and later braking lap after lap after lap using "muscle memory"
Cheapest loadcell brake on the market (no, i think the csr elites are loadcell brake?) - next most expensive loadcell on sale now is the 2-pedal HPP at ~$700.00USD!
You can adjust pedal throw, pedal plate positions, and lots of other stuff
full metal construction
FFB on brake pedal to indicate wheel lockups
Can place pedals on floor (i don't have room in my office for a simrig)

Con:
a bit "delicate" and need to be unplugged and then plugged back in to keep working.
in 2 years of use I have had to replace the throttle poistion sensor and the brake loadcell - easy to do but a PITA (my logitech pedals were bulletproof!)


In summation: the brakes can be a pain from time to time, but for the price they are simply one of the best pedal sets available! I would highly recommend the Fanatec CSP V2 pedals!

 

I really dont like that I will need to change parts after a while but if its easy I guess there will be no problem (i hope ). Thanks everyone for the answers!

 

Hi, can you write the exact model or link where you got it? Thanks

Look at the load cell as a wear item, If you run the load cell amp maxed out, Applying 50lbs Each and every braking application, thing's eventually wear out. They are just Basic Weatherstone load cell. They aren't technically meant for some of the abuse some can put on the pedal.

And Fwiw they are 8$ for 4 of them on Ebay and you can Add your own connector's for 2$ and you have 4 spare load cells for under 15$ and a little soldering work. Links can be provided if needed.
