@mementomori4972 haha dont I know it.... The mental gymnastics required have been extreme, but its a good "investment" in my happiness, now I just need to work out how to use it, and maybe get a better QR 😂

@@MichaelSmithRaces I have the Buchfink QR (Q1R) system. It might not look very pretty, or even flimsy in the pictures, but man, when you hold it in hand it's solid and it holds the wheel (I'm not exaggerating) like it's bolted on. There is no movement whatsoever. I can't imagine that anyone would be dissapointed with the Buchfink QR. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Sim Racing Garage has two videos on it, if you would like to check it out.

@Team_Reaper. Im sure you could do it, as the cable is very long.... but if you dont like the look of it then I would defo skip it as the cable is particularly chunky on this one! Look at the VRS rim or cube controls f pro, they both allow you to use bluetooth so no wire?? :)

@@MichaelSmithRaces yeah 👍🏻

@GreekSIMRACING no, the wheelbase does not come with any mounting options. What I did was buy the VRS hub adapter, and then that connects onto the parts in the Moza Universal Hub, which you will need anyway to use your KS wheel! Its simple when you get your head around it. Its the part where im drilling holes, that is into the Moza wheelbase adapter.

@fil_lokka just tried giving mine a first wash 🤪

@chitose3146 yeah they had to cram that motor into the wheel somehow though, had to make the middle bigger! Belt / gear wheels can get in the bin at this point!

@glenndjenkins thanks for the comment, you got three replacements?! thats mad! I agree with your sentiment though, pair the right equipment for the best experience!

@stevep927 see if Cammus need you to join their engineering team!

@@MichaelSmithRaces No need . I know how to buy two screws

Paddles on McLaren wheel have a piece of rubber to reduce the noise. They are the best of the best on the market.

@Sebastian-iz8ei whatever gets you driving & having fun is the best option! Keep at it!

@@MichaelSmithRaces yep It works till I can afford a better setup

@Blizzard0812 if you already had T300, I would go for something more powerful probably....

@wwvvww573 thanks for letting me know!! Must have looked funny at that speed :D

@Heliodoro18 nothing wrong with clipping mate, but yeah this is clipping bad. Its because I was doing lots of testing with different FFB settings for the review vid, then I just jumped into this GT3 which had much more downforce, hence why its red AF :) thanks for commenting though!

@SurfwidowBeaumont cheers bud, I dont even know why I do youtube lol just a bit of fun!

@Haunter_Vlogs nice im sure you will enjoy it!!

@Aaron-ze9jn yep 100% you cant have them on the floor, you could look into making an mount out of wood, but wheelstand or rig is the best path really!

@gavinmirosun5568 I dont think that would help you, generally the throttle is on or off, more resistance for finer detail I dont think would help you. I have no problem with the throttle on the SRP Lites.

@@MichaelSmithRaces Ohh i was just thinking it could give more resistance for a better feel.

@paddyodoors2757 yeah thats a good point, I had the Moza so im used to mapping all the buttons myself but I can see if you are used to the logi that would be annoying! Hope the C5 serves you well!

Sorry that happened @djmicrowave6073 such a joke that Corsair used these cheap components on this one!

@Invin_cibles here is my comparison video! ;) czcams.com/video/fsx-7FazW4M/video.html

@pedrohenriquebh90 they work OK, and lukes upgrade makes a huge difference, but yeah I agree if you spend the extra for Moza then you have a modular system so you can upgrade each part as you like to!

@m.d.g1337 yeah great point, IDK why thrustmaster dont reduce the price on the T300 would make it a much more sensible option nowdays...

@timdunn4093 yeah enjoy it mate, its a great bit of kit so much fun!

My oldest video is on my rig :) czcams.com/video/wILHToP-jZM/video.html

@Sony-Fanboy still funny to me this has had so many views :D

@@MichaelSmithRaces i can also laugh about it in a good way. A good sense for humor is never wrong!

How would you hide a huge servomotor in a wheel hub and make it visually appealing?

@virtualmotorheads IDK I think you get used to it, doesnt look strange to me now! It is a bit like a kettle bell :D

@robertcarr4172 fingers crossed! That will be an even more interesting comparison as I think the R3 will feel far weaker than the cammus....

@@MichaelSmithRaces with the R3 having only 3NM force feedback, I think it's too low for a direct drive.

@LukusMaxamus the shifters are a really great upgrade on the C5, thanks!

@reviewforthetube6485 thanks for commenting, are you driving on a desk? On a rig for sure, I am loving the VRS now I have the extra headroom, but on a desk these are both good enough to get racing for me!

Gotcha yeah you did say desk my bad!​@MichaelSmithRaces

@reviewforthetube6485 I think this is what makes the C5 so interesting because its cheap enough to buy without worrying about the upgrade path, just buy it, enjoy, upgrade in the future if you fancy getting a rig!

@MichaelSmithRaces very true but anytime I mention the c5 on reddit people dog it and call them scammers etc. I almost feel like people make stuff up. I always felt it was good for a 5nm wheelbase and the price cannot be beaten.

@siqhamodana7126 yeah much to improve for sure! Thanks for the tips!

@Alejandro-vp1op thanks I was really struggling with the pedals but yeah for sure much to improve!

@sofroz3n wow a great upgrade for sure, I bet the forte pedals are brill! For anyone interested I have a video where I upgrade these pedals with a loadcell mod here: czcams.com/video/Tei0i1iZGp8/video.html

@Xpl0jd1 haha yeah it was maxed wasnt it! This was 100% in software and 80% in ACC because I was testing various cars and things for my review, didnt adjust it back down before jumping into this GT3!

@snappedbydan yeah for sure! I have ended up with quite a high end rig now but wanted to start showing more that its not about high end gear to be decent! But like me you can still be incapable with high end gear haha!

@@MichaelSmithRaces Yes mate so true. The biggest misconception in sim racing and actually many hobbies is that the more £££ spent the better we'll be at it. Some people figure out this is wrong in a week, some in a year, some never figure it out and some just don't care because they have plenty of disposable money. We all just go on our own journey but there is no substitute for seat time!

@GregoryShtevensh not sure if you have a rig? I think there would be no benefit over 8nm to 12 because in my testing on a desk vs rig even the C5 is far duller on a desk. The C5 has far exceeded my expectations. Its a great entry point, but I think for you having a csl DD currently cammus does not offer much. They are more targetting people without any existing sim gear. I am planning a video soon on upgrade paths from entry level gear.

@MichaelSmithRaces thank you for that perspective. Makes sense. I don't have a rig, but have a braced desk. I've added my own struts and braces, and screwed the desk to the floor and wall. It doesn't move at all. But that is with 8nm, and I can't say I'd trust 12nm on it either

@robertcarr4172 yeah it seemed really old fashioned to me initially when I was researching, but once you get your head around it, its extremely liberating to be able to use any wheel you want. Well worth the minor inconvenience of occasionally glancing at a cable wrapped around the base! Also wireless options available, but then you have to charge them.

@MichaelSmithRaces i had the thrustmaster tx. And i couldn't race with it. Every time i raced down a straight i would check to see if the collar was fixed. Its annoying man. I need something i can trust

@buttergolem8584 the Moza pedals are not slippery, I almost always used them with socks without any problem. I would say also that on PC there is no reason why you buy everything from one provider, they just like to make you think its best with a bundle deal, but you can get whichever pedals you like with whichever wheelbase (in most cases) as long as you can plug them both into the PC seperately via USB.

Simhound with external stitching, working great so far! czcams.com/users/shortsqKymfXjRPj8

@eclip3e712 On my rig I use 3x Dell G2724D czcams.com/video/gNvsXFtOZbc/video.html

working great @LukusMaxamus, I will be discussing them on my video review hopefully coming out tomorrow, here is a link for anyone looking for bigger C5 shifters! ebay.us/P5BKFC

@@MichaelSmithRaces great!! Looking forward to seeing someones opinion on them 😊

@diegolumbago thank you! Hopefully this has inspired you and Simon to get a household simsetup 😇

@GGHQio imagine trying another league 👀

@@MichaelSmithRaces

@DCOnTrack CUonTrack!

@lebronjames-lb8j so much fun! Happy Birthday!

Looks solid!

@@MichaelSmithRaces thanks for the awesome content!

Thanks @BSGamingSimulator ! Going well so far!

Love to hear it @chrisracing81

@klintonkacatin tell me more about HRS add ons that I should research :)

@darthsnape thank you! I got it from Apex in the UK next day delivery. Its nice we no longer live in the world of the everything shortage, but yeah its still tough sometimes depending where you live!
