You don’t need to pull the collar when attaching the wheel. Just line it up and push it in.
Only need to pull when releasing the wheel.
Fanatec really should throw in a QR2 wheel side or at least a 50% discount with the purchase of a wheel base and a wheel.
facts but when you think in your head you the best it shows in actions 🤦♂ im really thinking about ever getting anything fanatec again as much as i love my wheel in fact i been modding my g920 having a fanatec 😂 stay blessed bro if you sim or drift get at me would like to ask a few thing i not new but new 😂
It’s crazy that Moza uses a 35 dollar quick release mechanism that’s seamless. I’m good on fanatec and their pricing model with the bs qr2 and boost kit
Been watching your videos for a long time and just realized I'm not subscribed. Sorry about that problem fixed! You and Boosted Media are my go to driving sim youtubers. Keep up the great videos! Always learn a lot!
5:00 did you not replace the metal ring with the plastic one? It saves you pins when you are putting on the wheel to the base since it is tapered and can go in crooked without that spacer
Nice vid man keep up the good work
Thank you, will do :)
2:22 those random outdated memes you put in while speaking in a serious manner always cracks me up lol
It’s just my terrible sense of humor 😭🤣
You do not have to pull back the quick release to attach it. You can just push it on
True. Pulling it back will reduce scratches I'd imagine.
Yup, it’s just a habit of mine haha
@@Daz555Daz Didn´t think of that. Might be smart to do so for scratches
Sick Video as always
Sick comment as always
What about the base side for the “new” (whenever they decide to start shipping them) clubsport DD.
For this they should have included option to have shaft extension so people can mount monitor between wheel and base for fov
It's coming. They showed it off at sim racing expo.
isnt it already long enough ?
Saldra el pack csl dd pro con qr2 directamente o siempre habra que comprarlo aparte?
You mentioned the QR2 base side is made from carbon infused plastic. I thought both options of the QR2 (base side) were metal with one being a full cnc piece (pro) and the other being cast. Am I mixed up here?
QR2 Lite is glass reinforced plastic. Just installed one, seems solid enough but we'll see how she goes shortly.
Question to you, do you notice FFB or any other details changes between your QR1 and QR2, now some weeks in use? I have to install mine yet on my DD Pro
I went from QR1 lite to QR2 standard and can confirm that it definitely does make the wheel feel more lively overall. It's a superb upgrade.
@@Daz555Dazthe qr1 lite is absolute dog though so that’s not surprising, mine used to bend and slide off of my wheel base shaft, instantly went and purchased the qr1.
@@goldsnafu QR1 lite is a bit shit yes, just in a different way to the standard QR1. The problem with the metal QR1 is that it could not cope at all with manufacturing tolerance issues - some people had a rock solid QR1 and others had a sloppy, knocking, mess. QR1 Lite was at least good in an "average" sense for the price.
QR2 solves all of this of course.
Why You hold it though? I mean, while puting it back on the base, thats like the most important difference in usability betwen QR1 and QR2.
5:00 - looks like you did not follow the installation instructions. The metal washer used with QR1 must be replaced with the plastic washer included with QR2 wheel-side.
For that shot, I quickly attached the QR on several rims to film with the white background and as such, didn’t bother to change out the washers and bolts.
Dumb oversight on my end but in actual use, I did make sure to use the correct washer and bolts 👍
@@OCRacing great to hear!
Hey OC, quick question:
Any plans on reviewing the Playseat Trophy?
Hmmm... probably not as I'm running out of space from so many cockpit reviews lol
@@OCRacing ah I see makes sense thanks
@@OCRacingsell the ones you don't want to keep and you'll have more space.
funny when you see they hold the ar lever back to fit the wheel. there a reason for the tapped shaft it so you have to pull the lever to fit the wheel.
Oc racing posted big W
Rare Tuesday upload 👀
OC in love your content! What is a wheel I should get next I currently have a g920
Thanks! Depends on your budget. Usually Moza or Fanatec is a great upgrade from the beginner Logitech wheels
@@OCRacing thanks homi have a good one
Moza R5 bundle (pc only) or Moza R3 (xbox and pc). Still waiting for R3 to go retail.
0:01 & 04:59 Why are you using the metal washer and the old screws on that wheel instead of replacing them with the new plastic washer and smaller screws which come with the QR2 like you seem to have done on other wheels correctly?
By using the old stuff you damage the Base-Side QR2 everytime you attach the wheel and this damage is not covered by warranty...
because you wouldn't want someone who is reviewing products to actually read the manual right? Also probably blaming the company when it breaks
Currently all my quick releases are un-attached from my rims since I’m swapping them out for filming.
For that shot I just placed it on there for filming with the white background (not racing) and as such, didn’t bother to change the washers and screws.
Dumb oversight on my end but figured it didn’t matter for just getting b-roll footage :/
Greetings 👍
Hello 👋 how are the gloves doing?
@@OCRacing Like them and using them!! Thanks! Hope you had a great time in Amsterdam!?
I have six rims, I'm kidding can you imagine. Have a good Halloween you scary guy.😄🙋👍
🤣 happy Halloween :)
👌🏻👌🏻

I was hyped for the QR2, but when i saw their pricing i just went nope. Their qr1 is hot garbage compared to competition, has plenty of issues, and should have been discountinued as soon as qr2 released.
So everyone who was content with the QR1 or used a CSL Elite or CSW base wouldn't be able to buy any more fanatec wheels ever?
@@johnathanmoyer2375no one should be content with the QR1 and that is OPs point. It should’ve became the standard that QR1 said it was. No one should have a QR that can shorten the lifespan of the main product
I've had a csl dd for like 2 years, and it has broken. I was planning to get a new one with the great deal going on now, but having to spend $150+ to use QR2 turned me off of it. Now I'm thinking about getting the new CS DD and the csl elite v2 petals
What broke?
@@johnzome788 all of a sudden the ffb cut back to like 30% of what it was. I have the 8nm and now it feels weaker than a g29. I've tried everything software wise, even set it up on a new PC, but it is still weak.
Hmm super weird… I’ve heard great things about the new Fanatec 12 and 15nm versions coming out, I’ll try to review those
@@samhill88 Im about to get my first wheel, the 5nm bundle, and hopping it works for more than two years.
@@OCRacing I would love to see that
My first CSL DD 8Nm burned itself after 2 weeks. I received the RMA'd product (new wheelbase) yesterday and tested it today for 2 hours. Suddenly it disconnected mid-race and after checking the wheelbase, the usb-connector in the QR1 base-side had bent and destroyed. What the fuck is going on.
I hope QR2 fixes this. It's my only option next to a full-refund.
how to put a QR2 on a aftermarket wheel?
QR2 PRO STILL has clicking during quick direction changes and slow chicanes 😦 Do NOT buy a lite!
LOL "This is the QR2" - 0:02 - Instantly shows it improperly installed.
interesting, but I don't think it's worth the upgrade, I don't see any benefit here, it's just a catch system nothing more
You never used a bad QR1 if you say that.
QR2 is not an upgrade and will not improve your sim driving performance.
Actually is just a new way of wheel/base contact and frankly, will prove to be inferior to QR1 in the long run.
How do you figure? I got mine installed and it stopped the metallic clicking sound I was getting with the QR1.
It has pins... Nuff said.

Third is not good enough unfortunately 😬
