This guy makes selling sim racing gear easier, thank y’all at Boosted!
"for about 6 months now" "15 hours of use" Wow that's around 3 days of true testing in 6 months. Hardly even used so would never have a true idea of how good the quality is.
I've been slowly educating myself this year on what I want from my first sim rig and which manufacturers/components made the most sense for my needs and budget. After seeing this video, I decided I had done enough tire kicking and decided it was time to jump in. Thanks to Microcenter significantly dropping the price of the Asetek Tony Kanaan bundle I now have a rig that performs way beyond my expectations and for significantly less than I imagined.
You channel is a pleasure to watch but is also a trusted voice for those of us that have limited access to this type of hardware. I can't thank you enough for your thoroughness and professionalism.
Yeah but this channel is more about watching promotions. So hard to get a good idea from the poor sim channels we now have.
@@davidfrisken1617 what?😂
What cockpit do you have? I decided last night I was going to buy the sim lab gt1 pro. After not being able to decide for the past year which cockpit to get. I even got out of bed to order it. Then, once I put my address in it said $268 to ship. Ah hell naw. I got back in the bed 😂 kinda sucks I really wanted it, but to have to pay $268 for shipping after spending over $1k on a rig that doesn't even come with the seat is absolutely insane to me. Not to mention tax.
@@kdcustoms1272😂ah dam I’m in the same boat I’m not sure which cockpit to go with
@@mr1k666 i'm seriously considering the trak racer tr8 pro
love the transparency and well, i wrote a few other comments earlier as well, but to cut it short, you've earned yourself a new subscriber!
As someone who is currently looking into this market and deciding what ecosystem to go with, I really appreciate going through each companies ecosystem. These videos help so much!
I've had the La Prima for a couple months now, and I'm absolutely mindblowned by the quality and feel of it. Has everything I need and more.
Can You tell me if QR is stiff plastic or Aluminium???
@@polqqqz1098 aluminium on the wheel base side and a very VERY sturdy mix of carbon fibre, glass fibre and plastic on the wheel
@@hawkinthepark Thank You Sir for Your fast answer :) im gonna buy new wheel and im between la prima or alpha mini :) I dont wanna make mistake again like i did when i bought t818 :)
End what about overheating?? This base has issue like moza for example??
@@polqqqz1098 I haven't tried Alpha Mini, so I can't give you a comparison, but oh man Asetek is superb in my opinion. The support team is amazing and is active on email, discord and the facebook group. The Asetek community itself is very very helpful.
I haven't experienced any overheating at all! I run the highest FFB in the Asetek software, and the only time I've experienced "overheating" was when I tried the limits in F1 23 with very high FFB settings in game aswell, but it only measured 60 degrees (Asetek says the wheel base can reach 70 degrees without affecting the life length or performance), so all good!
degrees celsius that is
Very thoughtful and thorough review. I believe anyone can make a sound decision of making a purchase decision on these or not. I love the quality of the content as well. Well done!
0:33 "They haven't sacrificed actual build quality to provide a cheaper price point"
Yeah... This is still insanely expensive for most of us XD -The G920 gang.
You playing on a ps2 as well? 😂
@@shaunhill5795 N64
I had a g29. Wouldn't buy again unless it was super cheap. Just doesn't spin itself fast enough for drifting or emergency corrections (cough, not that I did that... cough)
I already bought this bundle before your review was out, although it hasn’t arrived yet. Really glad to see that your so positive about it, keep it up😁
Same I ordered it off the back of Wills Invitca review and the fact it’s essentially the same base spec which can be upgraded. Having used my mates invicta I am not disappointed at all as I wind in down so 10NM anyway. I went with Fanatec V2 peddles as I don’t like the close spacing of the Asetek
How long was the delivery time for you guys? (if it has been delivered yet)
@@michaelcarbonaro831 I ordered it and picked it up from a friend of mine, so not from the official website. I have no idea how long the shipping will take, although I do know it’s made in Denmark so probably the closer you life to there the faster shipping is, but I’m not sure.
@@michaelcarbonaro831 to the guy i picked it up from, I think it arrived in less then a week. but he lives in Sweden, so close to where it is made
This review finally made me open my wallet and treat myself to a new DD wheel. I went for the Forte pedals after seeing your other review rather than the La Prima ones as luckily Asetek also do just a base and wheel bundle as well allowing me to add I my preferred pedals. Can’t wait for it all to arrive, thanks guys for a well balanced an informative look at the Asetek products.
A great approach to less expensive products in their range. Take away features, and don’t compromise on the quality.
I watched all the reviews I could find and finally decided to buy the La Prima bundle. I'm moving up from a Logitech G920, and I've never used anything else. I got my La Prima a couple of days ago and finally got a chance to take it for a ride earlier today. I've never been so pleased with a gear purchase. This thing is so far above and beyond my expectations. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great DD wheel. Not only the wheel - the pedals are beyond fantastic. Get it. You won't be sorry.
A long awaited vid, thanks a lot !!
Will, I always appreciate your business transparency and the quality of your reviews. I'm looking forward to seeing your review on the QR hub and am keen to see what the upgrade path and cost are for the La Prima base. In your video you mentioned the likely upgrade path but we will have to wait a little longer to see what the cost and process are. Thank you--Excellent as always!
Edit: FWIW, I don't really mind the look of the wheel. A little industrial, maybe...
I mean, it's pretty obvious the upgrades will be more expensive than just buying the Forte.
Ever since i pre-ordered the Moza r12 and KS Wheel i have been dreading this review Will. I also got the Fanatec CSL Elite V2 pedals. So I have a clutch, very good brake pedal, and a clutch release on my wheel. And unfortunately the La Prima bundle was an extra chunk of cash when you added GST and shipping to Australia.
But yes, this stuff looks to be both quality and beautiful (i love the aesthetic). I particularly enjoy the videos of the Aseteck CEO introducing his gear. He is such a non-professional presenter .. i can tell he is all about the product and not the advertising. Best of luck to Asetek. I think they will be very successful.
Enjoy the R12! It’s a great piece of kit and makes more sense in areas it’s significantly cheaper.
I was so close to ordering a La Prima bundle three months ago, but ultimately went with an R9 and ES, (then added GS due to shipping delays with ES), Moza shifter and VRS pedals. I wanted pedals that could adapt to all cars as drift from one style of sim racing to another all the time. La Prima was just that bit too $$$ (also Aussie btw), and unknown, and Moza has been so good at expanding their ecosystem. I'm very happy. And I'd still love a La Prima! 😆
make sure you turn off all that crappy dampning on the moza wheel..i dunno why people suggest to use it makes the wheel feel heavy and rubbish
Asetek is already very successful! They invented the AIO water cooler, and all AIOs that you buy for your PC, beit NZXT, Corsair, EKWB, Asus etc are all made and supplied by Asetek!
The Asetek wheel rims definitely look like toys to me. Something about the buttons and thumb encoders looks really plasticky. Not a fan, but I like the open nature of the WB to use any wheels.
The KS wheel, while in the same league visually, does more to convince me it's a real wheel rim. Especially the finish on the plastic housing and illuminated buttons.
I still don't know what ecosystem I want to buy into, but I like that there's so much competition that's making it difficult to choose.
They also feel plasticky. Close to the McLaren from Fanatec
You could get pretty much any wheel you want and install Asetek's quick release adapter into it.
The whole Asetek lineup and bundles are well defined. Each level seems a genuine step up. I know that I’d probably get the invicta because I have a “buy once, cry once” attitude to these sorts of things and I’d lose money upgrading over time. Great video. Cheers!
Yeah. I bought into Fanatec CSL DD 8nm with McLaren wheel and mid-priced pedals. I will never upgrade. Fanatec FINALLY bundles the CSL DD with the McLaren Wheel! Asetek masquerades as a superior product... I'd go with tried and true Fanatec if you are buy once, cry once. Only reservation is the wheel is rubber, and rubber gets soft and gummy over time...
You know asetek partnered with Granite, the guys behind Simucube right? One of the top dogs in the DD field. Asetek is running some of their IP as well.
@@virtualawakening2299 wait until you need to contact fanatec for customer support then you'll be crying yourself to sleep
Excellent video as alway ! After seeing the reviews of the Forte and Invicta range and what Asetek released on the speecs of this it was alway going to be good. Your video and Laurence's habe just confirmed this is the product for me. Time to sell my Fanatec gear and put it towards this 😁
The wheelbase is for sure a solid choice. Pedals and wheel you can keep. Wheelbase for sure will be a great choice for any and all.
Thanks for all of your hard work and excellent content.
I have the Invicta Wheelbase. With the VRS. Pedals and I have couldn't be happier with this setup.
Regarding Kevin Magnussen's settings, something to remember is that Formula 1 cars have power steering. So the forces through the wheel may not be as high as you might guess. Interestingly Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars don't have power steering, so their wheel response is said to be much heavier.
Yeah exactly, same as Indycars.
This was extremely helpful, thanks so much for the vid!
I got this bundle as my first ever Sim racing gear, honestly it feels like it will be all I ever need.
It's easy to use, solid and feels like a real piece of equipment, not a toy.
Pretty happy with the purchase and I feel like 12 NM is more than enough, it is very strong.
Great review mate.
lol, shit, you should've bought a used g29 or something to use for like a month just so you could have been totally blown away by the amazing gear you get to start off with once you switched over to the Asetek stuff, lol. Great choice.
@@BurtSampson haha actually I got a buddy that has a Logitech for his playstation so I kinda felt it a little. But yeah, if anyone is in doubt, get it. It's great.
@ What kind of strength are you running the wheel at?
AHHHH! A Micro Center is FINALLY coming to my city next year! I can't wait - and it was about time! It's a Fun Fact that years ago, CompUSA's/TigerDirect's #1 store nationwide was located here.
Omg yes I'm just in the market for one now.. best timing ever on this video
Thanks for the review! Do you know by any means if there is a round wheel in the making? Or do I have to buy a quick release adapter for now with a separate wheel?
And how was game compatibility? Worked everything out of the box? AC, Dirt Rally 2?
Great video, thank you very much Sir!
What I like about micro center... I have one about 1 hour away. The place is awesome!
Im so so blessed to live right next to my microcenter! Its also a damn curse!
Im in the Charlotte area. Can't wait for Micro Center!
at 18:00, I believe you misspoke, I recently bought the la prima package, and also got the dual clutch paddles as well since the clutch pedal was out of stock, and they do not work with the wheel, so the hall effect sensor does not appear to be built in here
Great video! I was about to order a Moza R12 until I saw this. Microcenter has an interesting bundle called the Asetek Tony Kanaan Bundle which is TK branded but consists of the La Prima base (but with the 5 USB port in the back that doesn't come on the standard base), a TK branded Forte wheel and TK branded La Prima pedals. Its priced higher than the La Prima Bundle at $1900, but for some reason it was on sale last week for $1200. I went straight to the store and bought it and have been loving it, really good stuff. If you can get it for $1200, this is a steal - better wheel functionality, and you can add the clutch pedals to it which you can't to the La Prima wheel. Also, for anyone looking for just the base, Microcenter sells it separately as well as in the bundle.
Got the bundle for 999 absolute amazing value
@@shawnvilaisackJust bought the Bundle for $799. Not a big fan of the green but it is what it is.
@@shawnvilaisack Where?
Hi Will. Great video! As always supper informative. I'm thinking about getting a 12NM wheelbase but im using a Next Level racing F-GT rig. Would you recommend the r12 or the La Prima. I have also heard that the r12 has some overheating issues. Does the La Prima have something similar or no? In addition to this i also want to buy a formula wheel which will not break the bank. but the only one that seems to be competitive at an affordable price point, is the KS. Are there any other wheels im missing?
Honesty, should more “reviewers” do. Thanks Will
Glad you signed on as a Micro Center partner! I've been a huge fan for a while, and you helped influence me towards the Invicta pedals when they came out. Super satisfied with them. Now as a Micro Center employee, I get to give back to you with I hope lots new subscribers for all of the resources you give us. Cheers from the other side of the pond!
If I remember correctly, you CANNOT add the clutch paddles and analog shifters to the La Prima wheel, there's no PCB support for it. You need to upgrade to the Forte, and then you can add them.
By the way, very nice that you are looking to cover the Alpha Mini. I think the 10-12nm range is among the most interesting for a large part of sim racers at the moment, and the La Prima and the Alpha Mini seem to be the most viable options in that category, so great to see you cover both to get an educated opinion on the differences. I'm particularly interested to see of the Alpha Mini actually has 13nm instead of the advertised 10nm, because I read somewhere that they dialed that down to 10nm in a recent firmware patch or something. So basically, if there would be any significant maximum torque difference in the two wheel bases.
Oh, and how does the review have 74 dislikes? I don't see any controversy here
one of the dislikes came from me, I bought the wheel and the dual clutch paddles since the clutch pedal was out of stock because this video said it would work, but only now did I see this comment so unfortunately this video cost me $60
@@theCDGeffect return them?
Not sure what you're referring to with the VRS DFP. I've had mine for 1.5 years and never had any twitches or irregularities. Plus the software might not be pretty, but it's dead simple to use.
Nice base, shame about the wheel.
I am with you on the covers of the missing buttons.
If the wheel was nicer looking then I would go for La Prima base with Forte wheel.
Personally a GT style 300mm wheel (with less orange) would be a game changer for me.
typically they sell them now. for an extra £300 odd
Looks great. Awesome!
i actually really like the asetek design. unique.
Great review, Thank you! I’m in the market for a DD wheel and I have Fanatec pedals and shifter, which I love. So naturally the Fanatec DD would be an easy plug and play for me, however, I’ve heard the Simucube and Asetek are higher quality. My question is, can I run my nascar wheel on those two and will my pedals and shifter plug and play easily? I hate problems! 😂
Will, great video as always. Any idea when the La Prima wheel base upgrade kit will be released?
Not sure on that one sorry.
As always. We’ll done Will and team. Thank you.
Thank you for your review.
I'm thinking about buying the La Prima bundle without the pedals and to buy the Fanatec Elite CSL V2 pedals separately.
Would you recommend differently? I think the CSL V2 brake pedal may be worth this combination.
How would you compare force feedback of this vs logitech g pro with trueforce on? I have logitech and think that it's amazing but i tested only this and thrustmaster t300 before :)
Extra head room above the desired torque level (around 12Nm for me) is very important
I watched this video the other day, and decided to go from my planned Moza R9/12 + KS GT setup to the Tony Kanaan bundle at Micro Center. The only problem is stock issues, so I’m on an all out hunt for the wheel and base now that I picked up the pedals.
I was able to get the wheel base! Now to find the wheel. Micro Center dropped the TK pedals to $127.99, the TK wheel base to $399.99, and the wheel to $159.99. It appears that all their Asetek products are EXTREMELY discounted. Like the Invicta S Series Pedals are down to $430 ish.
Would you run a GSI wheel on the La prima or is it to heavy for the dampening effect
Love your work mate but it's a tad frustrating you don't provide aussie pricing. Any particular reason why?
Hi Will, absolutley love your content, I am in Australia also. How about some AU pricing please. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see some more racing.😁😆😅
I generally include AUD pricing where available, but Asetek don’t list AUD pricing on their website.
Are the front mounts the same spec as most other MIGE motors like Simagic, VRS or Simucube? I know Asetek licensed the motor IP Granite/SC so I'm hoping the front mount options maintain that form factor.
Can you front mount the base on a normal holder? Right now I have a VRS front mounted will the asetek fit also or do you need a special front mount holder? I have a universal where simagic, vrs and simucube fits on
I'm new to the sim racing world and trying to research what I'm going to buy. That being said, what's the difference between La prima and the fanatec dd2?
Watching this with my la prima bundle next to me 😍
How are you liking it so far? Will be very interested to hear your thoughts!
@@boostedmedia I am very very happy with the La Prima wheel quiet shifters, the overall comfort of use and materials. Only little fault i can find is that the kinky switches are a bit difficult to reach with my thumbs while I am driving. After a couple of months of use, the La Prima didn't miss a single beat, and I'm thouroghly satisfied with it.
Isn’t that something, I just went to microcenter today and saw forte products for the first time.
Quick question... you show added clutch paddles, will the La Prima wheel support them?
Makes my Logitech G Pro wheel and pedals seem great value still as you get everything you need to use it on a desk or rig and a clutch pedal had my Pro wheel and pedals about a year now no issues at all 11nm is ok for me it's more than enough but Logitech is too slow to bring out a pro shifter ,handbrake lever and F1 type wheel they left it too long IMO and lost a lot of sales when so many DD wheels came out this year at great prices too,but Logitech is a very well known Company and the build quality is not as plastic as some reviews suggest plastic is used in sensible places.
Can you share a link to your "how to set up load cell pedals " video your talked about? I don't see it in the description.
this why i would pick moza setup just because the more wheels to pick from i guess it's the F1 fans wanting that style of wheel most but i hate it just give me a basic round wheel lol
Here I sit with my good ole CSL DD 8nm and I wonder... Do I really need more?! Do I?
Elite v2 pedals ( love these)
Mclaren v2 and universal hub V2 with a NRG leather wheel, round...for drifting and such as well as a WRC wheel
I was looking at this, but the ps support of the clubsport DD+ ment I pulled the trigger in preordeing that instead, think all these other companies are missing a trick with pc only support.
On a side note when will you be doing a review on the fanatec clubsport DD and the DD+?
Great review as always Will, thanks you! I really like this brand, their view on sim racing products and how they present themselves but.... Unfortunately, and that is a matter of taste, I do not like the looks of their products and the colour Orange. So maybe I should buy the front mount so I don't see the wheel base, buy a colour kit from pineapplegrips for the wheel and paint the orange parts of the pedals ;-). Currently still in Fanatec eco system with belt driven CSW 2.5, bought that new and within a year the DD came on the market ..... Never had issues with Fanatec but that is maybe because I always bought a v2 or higher version of their products. So maybe I should wait for DD1 v2 or DD2 v2 and v4 clubsport pedals .... which might take ages😂
still thinking about the force feedback wheel setup my mother got me when the PS2 was the next best thing😢
Sounds like you had FFB well before me! My first FFB wheel was the G27! I had a V3 Racing Wheel on PS but it didn't have FFB.
It seems there's always at least one comment talking about how bad fanatec is and how great this or that wheel, base, pedal set etc is so much better. Personally, I've never had an issue with fanatec support or their products. The fit the rig, they work together and they are backwards compatible. Not to mention great quality and super fast shipping. I get fanatec orders faster than Amazon. This is just my experience. I don't doubt that people have had problems with them. To each their own. I guess it only matters to a few of us that fanatec is a title sponsor for pretty much every major GT racing series in the world. I'll continue my support.
Does it come with an Australaian power cable? All the other unblocking videos it appears to have every other power cord under the sun but the Australian power cord.
Not sure if I got a bad pedal set or not. But there seems to be no resistance until the wall, no matter how I adjust them. The progressive spring on my Logitech 920 set feels better than this one. Is that normal? It feels as easy as the throttle to push...
Great review!!
I'm not a fan of the quick release on the Asetek.
Moza seems like the standard for now.
If only Simhub would work on their F1 wheel.
Do the forte or la prima button boxes come with a quick release or do you have to purchase separately?
Ive have had SC2 sport and pro but have sold them a while back and want to get in to sim racing again, I have set my budget to around Asetek forte and SC2 sport range so witch one do you recommend to buy?
yes yes i know, i'm a genius, already bought one *takes a bow*
Same, I ordered last week, should be shipping this week
For me coming from the Fanatec eco system there is a big problem with the La Prima wheel & wheel base bundle: No dual clutch possibility on the wheel.
That means either purchasing a conversion kit plus Invicta QR to use my McLaren GT3 wheel (which has clutch) or bying the La Prima wheel base + the Forte wheel. But wait! The La Prima wheel base isn't sold separately. I just don't understand the choice to not have clutch paddles as an option on the La Prima wheel. Even the cheap McLaren GT3 V2 and the Moza KS have those.
Asetek needs to:
1. Offer possibility of dual clutches on the La Prima wheel
or
2. Sell the La Prima wheel base separately.
The level of transparency on all these reviews in regard to brand inclusion is so unbelievably impressive, good job Boosted 💙
I think the wheel is really whats holding me back from considering Asetek. The pedals and wheelbase look great, but not the wheel.
Since they recently collaborated with Pagani, I gotta ask: Whats stopping you guys from doing a replica of the Huayra BC's steering wheel?
Thanks for the review. What is that Momo wheel you are using @7:36 in the vid?
czcams.com/video/INYnnSVmPnM/video.html
The Simagic Alpha (15 Nm) bundle with the GTS wheel can be had for $1039 in the U.S. Why no mention of this in the comparison rather than Moza?
Because I don’t have recent experience with it.
@@boostedmedia now that you have reviewed the line up. Thoughts?
hi mate
as a person that test both La Prima and Forte, tell me whats better please. or maybe Moza R12&R16, Fanatec dd1 better than Asetek?
Something that for me brings me to the Moza r12 is more space between the wheel and wheelbase. Making it possible to get your monitor in between the wheel and wheelbase for the best fov.
Didnt Moza even sell a steering shaft extension, to gain even more space between wheel and base?
Asatek also have wheel extensions.
@@jobkinderen8882 yes but the moza doesn't even need one, and asetek extension is 100+ eur
Great Vieo as always @boosted media ! If someone gets the la prima and then wants to upgrade to Forte , the only difference is the power suplly ? Will he gets also the slu rate improvement or the 6nm increase on power only ?
New board and psu
@@deadmanwalking1930 yes I got it ... question is about slew rate ... la prima has about peak 4nm/ms and forte about 6.7nm/ms ... with the upgrade of power supply will I get the peak slew rate of forte or only the 6 extra nm from 12 to 18.... so in simple words , will la prima become a forte concerning detail / power / slew rate with a 400w power supply ?
@@nickiphorosn yes, with power supply and New pcb
Forte and la prima are the same dd motor
So happy with my new csl ready to race bundle and McLaren GT3 wheel. Perfect entry level into DD. This is as said, damn expensive lol
A good entry for sure, and I still enjoy my GT DD Pro every day. But I think the La Prima bundle with be my next setup when I move over to PC.
Same here, pulled the trigger on CSL DD 8nm, Macca wheel and Elite V2 pedals. I was looking these new 12nm bases but couldn't justify the premium over the ready to race bundle. That's my first DD base and it's really good to me, especially for the price point. Next step haptics, and maybe the simagic P1000 HPR later on.
Glad to see this kind of midrange products coming along tho
As a fanatec user, i can't recommend fanatec with all the new bases coming out.
@@Mr_jz_12 price wise for entry level I’d recommend all day long 😝
@@tonyf9076 With their issues and the lack of qr2. I can't for the pricing they charge. Thats if you can get stock also.
Can you try to use an ascher wheel with a Trustmaster base pls
VRS or asetek la prima ?
The only thing I wonder about this base is whether it gets warm after 1 hour of gaming.
I use Moza R5, it gets very hot.
It is difficult to decide between Moza R16 and Asetek La Prima.
If La Prima does not heat up, I will prefer La Prima.
Are tha Pagani pedals the same functional hydraulic pedal as the Invicta pedal?
What do you have to say about the pedals not being real load cell Pedals?
Can't decide between Moza r12, KS wheel and VRS pedals and this bundle tbh.
They are real load cell pedals. All load cell pedals are essentially measuring deflection of the strain gauge based on how much force is applied to the pedal. The difference here is that the applied force is scaled through a spring rather than applied directly to the strain gauge.
In a practical sense I don’t find it to be detrimental at all. It was discussed at length in our review of the Forte pedals.
So torn between this and a simagic alpha. Selfishly I’d love to see these two compared with one another.
The build quality of simagic is amazing. All metal and carbon fibre and are nicer than the wheels I have in my race car. As for force feedback the simagic is fantastic. This stuff just seems a tad to plastic and toy like for my liking so I’d recommend simagic
@@sbsimracing7275 Good to hear, definitely helps me narrow things down
i dont really care all that much about what brand of dd base i get i just wanna be able to hook a moza wheel, fanatic wheel or asetek wheel up to my dd base and be able to race or drift with it without any complications, i am looking for a 12nm base but idk which companies allow that type of compatibility
@boostedmedia
I have a question that might seem weird but I'm serious:
Considering ONLY the FFB speed, quality and especially Immersion (which is more important to me than human competition) is the logitech g pro wheel with calibrated trueforce for the titles that are working with that feature actually better than the la prima in ONLY those aspects.
I realise the asetek has other definitive pros, but I'm really curious about this.
For the games that support true-force the G Pro has more detail overall. But it’s not necessarily useful detail. It’s more things like textures.
@boostedmedia
Huge thank you for taking your time to answer. Would you say the rest of the FFB in terms of reaction speed and force is comparable?
My situation is quite unique as I didn't simrace at all for about 6-7 years and didn't competitively about 8 years.
I want to get into it again, and due to some dear friends from those times was offered a very good Deal on both including the same great pedalset and rig, putting them both at the almost the same low price for me, with the logitech even having a slightly better offer.
I'm not really looking for upgradability since I'm positive this whole thing will remain a casual weekend enjoyment with my wife and friends rather than ever hoping to get on their level again, which is why I'm more considerate of the fun in it all, even if I drive at the ba k of the field.
Does Asetek have a forum where people post wheel settings or discuss an issue they're experiencing? This is what has been holding me back from buying the product. I've searched for forums, but I have not been able to find one.
We dont have a forum per say, but we do have a discord.
Where that is posted 😊
You wouldn’t go pass this bundle , which one were you referring to. 50:02 cause you spoke about la prima and forte.
You also mentioned about slew rate , question here is if you get higher Nm base invicta will you feel more or is it the same with lower Nm base such as la prima @boostedmedia
which is better the la prima or the moza r12
So would you guys recommend this over Fanatec Clubsport DD and DD+?
Yeah I canceled my DD+ to get this
What is the point in having a wheel of over 12nm? What benefits do you get if you are only setting it at 60 or 40%, aren’t you simply throwing money away?
What is your recommendation for console users?
Congratulations for your videos. As I am interested in buying a wheelbase, I would like to ask you this question : Between the Asetek la Prima and the Simagic Alpha Mini wheelbases, which is the best, according to your experience and your tests?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Still testing the alpha mini but honestly you’ll be happy with either. They’re both great.
@@boostedmedia Thank you for your rapid answer.
As regards between SIM-LAB XP1 and SIMAGIC P1000, what is your opinion (which would you prefer)?
Thank you in advance.
still testing the P1000s mate @@tzarvalis
I think the situation has changed with the release of Fanatecs Clubsport DD. 12Nm for 699 + 199 for McLaren Wheel is hard to beat. Add Heusinkveld Sprint to it and you got the ultimate setup for comparable price point that beats laprima bundle by far.
Things are definitely heating up!
All competition is good competition. Only issue is the Clubsport DD will only ever be 12nm whereas La Prima will be able to go to 18nm. That should never be overlooked, and at 12nm they will be super close to each other.
I’ve had a CS DD on order for almost a month. It was supposedly “available” but still no sign of ever shipping. Ordered a La Prima and it shipped the next day. I’m done with Fanatec. I want to drive, not sit around waiting for gear to ship. Jumping ship to a brand that can actually support its customers.
Ive wanted to see Asetek on here i got Moza R5 srp pedals hgp shifter which is the best feeling shifter on earth hand down so so good i also have the cs wheel l and a ebay handbrake but plan to get moza's hbp t some point to hammer a all moza setup now all i got to do is upgrade my sim stand to a cockpit a dd wheel on a stand gets talked all over the be place i literally have it ratchet strapped to my desk it's pretty ghetto but it works im just glad i upgraded to direct drive it's world better than my Logitech g29 or any gear or belt driven wheel
I almost bought this over a CSL DD! However I need a round ish wheel. I am ok with a slightly flat bottom, but the fact you can only get that base with a gt wheel took it completely out of contention unfortunately. As I'd be buying a rather fancy wheel that I'll never be able to use.
You cannot get this shipped currently from the link
It looks like the only wheel option is an F1 style wheel. What do you do if you want to play Rally games like Richard Burns Rally? I an a noob at sim racing
I was on the fence about this as well but there will be round rims available on November 20th so i think I’m gonna get this base and wheel for now
