High-Performance Aluminium Pedals

The CSL Elite Pedals are designed to be highly adjustable, and made from solid aluminium to ensure durability and stability.

Find the perfect driving position

The horizontal position of each pedal on the heel rest is individually adjustable, and they can even be separately mounted onto your customized cockpit without the heel rest plate, allowing you to recreate a realistic F1-style driving position.

Optional loadcell kit

Upgrade to the optional loadcell brake pedal unit for an even more realistic braking feel, thanks to a loadcell that can handle up to 90 kg of pedal pressure.

In theory you can use any RJ12-RJ12 (6p6c straight) and USB (type A -- type B; USB 1/2.0) cable which has the right connectors on both ends. If you use high quality cables of similar length to the originals, there should be no problem. Please keep in mind that Fanatec cannot guarantee perfect functionality if third-party products are involved even if the combination should work.

Important notes regarding (replacement) cables:

Cables which are significantly longer than the original cables can cause connection issues
Extension cables are often the source of connection issues. Longer high-quality cables are the better option
If your product came with a high-quality ferrite core cable, a replacement cable should be of similar quality

Q: Can I purchase replacement "RJ12--RJ12" / "USB A -- USB B" cables from Fanatec?

A: We should be able to offer replacement cables for all recent products. If they are not offered in the webshop, please ask our support team. But alternatively, it is also possible to use similar standard USB/RJ12 high quality cables, which are inexpensive and can be found at most electrical retailers.

Grundsätzlich sollten alle standard RJ12--RJ12 (6p6c - straight) und USB (Type A auf Type B; USB 1/2.0) Kabel passen und einwandfrei funktionieren, welche die richtigen Stecker bieten. Sofern hochqualitative Kabel mit ähnlicher Länge verwendet werden, sollte dies kein Problem darstellen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Fanatec keine uneingeschränkte Garantie auf Funktionalität geben kann, sofern Teile/Produkte von Drittherstellern verwendet werden bzw. involviert sind.

Wichtige Anmerkungen zu Ersatzkabeln:

Kabel welche (deutlich) länger als die Originalkabel sind, können zu Verbindungsproblemen führen
Verlängerungskabel (und Adapterstecker) sind oft die Ursache von mangelhafter Übertragungsqualität der Signale. Längere Kabel wären hier die bessere Option.
Wenn ihr Produkt mit einem hochwertigen Kabel inkl. Ferrit-Kern geliefert wurde, sollten sie als Ersatz ein ähnlich hochwertiges Kabel verwenden.

Frage: Kann ich ein (RJ12--RJ12 oder USB A -- USB B) Ersatzkabel von Fanatec kaufen?
Antwort: Wir sollten in der Lage sein für aktuelle Produkte Ersatzkabel zu Verfügung zu stellen. Falls diese im Webshop nicht gelistet sind, fragen sie bitte unser Supportteam danach. Es ist allerdings auch möglich ähnliche Standardkabel in hoher Qualität von anderen Händlern zu erschwinglichen Preisen zu kaufen und zu verwenden.

+ CSW V2.5 and CSL Elite Base PS4 (new) drift mode explained in detail

Here is a small explanation what has been changed to the Drift Mode of the new ClubSport Wheel Ba...

Here is a small explanation what has been changed to the Drift Mode of the new ClubSport Wheel Base 2.5 / CSL E WB+ (PS4 version) and which new feature is "hidden" there:

	CSW V2 / CSL E WB	CSW V2.5 / CSL E WB+ (PS4)	Notes
Standard electric motor damper	DRI OFF	DRI -5	Best for most games/simulations. Feels identical on both wheel bases
Reduced electric motor damper	n.a.	DRI -4 -> DRI -1 (new!)	Can eventually cause problems (oscillations in games which do NOT support “low drag” wheels)
Electric motor damper turned off	n.a	DRI OFF (new!)	WILL cause problems (oscillations) in games which do NOT support “low drag” (like DD) wheels
“Classic” Fanatec Drift Mode	DRI 1-5	DRI 1-5	Will speed up/accelerate your wheel movements and reduce the dampening – just like power steering

DRI OFF now has NO dampening at all. Works similar to a direct drive wheel which has no mechanical resistance. If there is no FFB effect there will be no force/dampening from the motor and electronics in the wheel. That can cause problems in games if they are not optimized. DRI -5 is the safe setting now (for the CSW V2.5) as it was “OFF” in the CSW V2.

Differences to the CSW V2 / CSL E WB:
At the time the CSW V2 (and original CSL Elite Wheel Base) was developed it was not possible to create a dynamic/variable motor damper into the motor driver. To develop this features we had to design a completely new motor electronics which is driven by a logical processor and has its own firmware which is programmable/updateable. Since the combination of having NO electronic damper and hardly any mechanical dampening in the (v-belt drive) system causes problems, like wheel oscillations on straights, in most games, using this static electrical damper in the CSW V2 was a MUST. The drift mode helps to keep the effect of this damper as minimal as possible. DRI3 should be a good compromise in most games for the CSW V2 to make the wheel turn easy and freely.

IF oscillations are happening within any game...reduce the DRI value to -5 (CSW V2.5) or to OFF (CSW V2) again.

Bei den Lenkrädern sind ein oder zwei Pins im Quick-Release-Mechanismus kürzer als die anderen.

Das is völlig normal und kein Grund zur Sorge.

Der Grund dafür ist ein nacheilender Stromschluss. Der Kontakt soll erst hergestellt werden, wenn alle anderen Kontakte verbunden sind und das Lenkrad schon mit Strom versorgt werden kann. Die Verbindung zwischen Lenkrad und Wheelbase wird dadurch nicht negativ beeinflusst.
