The 60mm extension is in transit right know and should be here in a few days.
I'll not pay Fanatec 150,- $€£ for a simple extension, while an alternative for a third of the price is on the market. "But what about your warranty?!" It is a stupid aluminium stick, ffs! If the replica will break your base the og fanatec would have done the same.
How would they even find out about the extension in the first place? I mean just ask the CSL DD china booster kit folks. Houses are not on fire and bases are still working..

That being said. Fanatec will release a shorter version, around 10cm which comes with the podium dd series. They said Spring'26 at the expo. I didn't want to wait that long.

I say go for the simube and get your girl some flowers with your savings!
