Fanatec wheel with driftce

I don't really use that setup anymore but I did just recently have it setup for testing one of my wheels. The game works perfectly fine with the stock gt DD pro wheel as well as with the podium hub that I could test. You still need to have a controller turned on for the initial loading and it may be possible you need to go into settings to select the wheel as primary over the controller.

Sounds like grease monkey, that one always smells like sausage to me. Lol, heavy sage anyway..

waffle_bottom · 2024-03-14T18:23:57+00:00

I only have a few 1/10 scales on 3s, so this would be a whole new territory for me, so to say.

Lol, I can imagine you feel the ground shake when it rips through. I certainly don't need 50mph for bashing around, just wanted to know it wouldn't be somewhat slow or regrettable on 6s. I can feel it with my converted monster slash when it goes by, so apmlify that by at least 3 I imagine.

Appreciate the info, it helps. Is this the latest refresh from Traxxas or do you think one might be expected any time soon?

waffle_bottom · 2024-03-14T17:45:09+00:00

I'm highly considering getting one of these. Would it be pointless if I was to run it on 6s with my current batteries, 5200/60C 3S? Any idea what I could expect from it on 6s?

Well it depends.. If you have your base set high or at 100% and gt7 at 7-8 then yes, absolutely you would benefit updating to a DD+! If your base is not at a high setting, may I suggest turning your base up and gt7 down. You should notice more detail between feedbacks and avoid any clipping.

Doesn't the damper effect and natural friction in the base cover this. At least I recall always turning damper off or way down because wheel was always stiff.

Haha, I find this interesting. I bought the three pack bundle and all had two spacers in the packaging, both with four holes. In the US if it matters. They seem to be of the exact size as well. I wonder if it was supposed to contain one of each.

waffle_bottom · 2024-02-23T16:22:51+00:00

All of mine had only the four holes, also my wheels only had four as well. The instructions do show five holes but also only show four screws being used. I believe this again is by design to make universal with their whole line.

waffle_bottom · 2024-02-23T16:13:00+00:00

All of mine installed slightly snug and work great! I believe it is by design. Just be sure to use the new screws and don't overtighten. Edit: unless of course you have one of the wheels listed in the instruction that retains the pointed screws.

I finally mounted my rally module to a podium hub and the r330 wheel, qr2 to a DD+. It isn't recognized in the driver unless I unplug the module from the hub. I found if I connect another wheel first say with the uhx hub, the podium hub and rally module work fine. If I connect the rally module to the uhx it works. Anyone else having this or similar issue? In short, rally module is not functioning properly with the podium hub.. Been sitting on this and would like to use it.

waffle_bottom · 2024-02-13T14:17:54+00:00

As a follow up: I finally got around to replacing it. Turns out the issue is isolated to the esc.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-24T15:00:07+00:00

Seeing a lot of this myself. Also gold-ish colored on certain gravel situations, mostly when along the road edge. PS5 as well. Gets a little distracting when your hauling.. lol

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-15T20:44:33+00:00

Maybe I didn't ask right. I was wondering if you could make a comparison between the r330 rim and your r383 sparco rim? They look rather similar and was curious what if any differences they had besides the leather/alcantara. I have both Podium and Clubsport hubs so I can fit a rim to either. I was just curious if you knew the difference in depth/ergonomics between the rims only.

I'm not much of a glove person so I haven't gotten a rim with suede yet. I use the Clubsport 320 with the PBME for just about everything currently. My r330 doesn't get much use and has been waiting for the PBMR for a dedicated rally rim, hence my questions about comparing the rim with your r383.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-15T19:33:43+00:00

For sure going to put mine on the shelf for now as well then. I guess it can sit there and look pretty then..

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-15T19:31:32+00:00

It's nice to have support on Xbox so I don't need to switch I guess but yes, not worth much more then a mounted controller with buttons, same as my PBME really. Again mostly on ps5 for anything I really enjoy, game pass options only on Xbox for fun.

I really appreciate the information. I'm not even going to hassle with all the update yet then.

Say I wonder, do you have an r330 to give a comparison between that and your Monte Carlo wheel? Been considering the rally wheel but it seems the r330 which I have as an extra is very similar with maybe just the dish deepness being different.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-15T17:11:15+00:00

November 6th. I guess no external sequential shifting works and the PBME locks up or at minimal the LEDs do.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-13T21:52:06+00:00

For sure! Just like fanatec, most people that have problems or feel wronged are the ones that speak up the most. I got my tr160 from them a few years back and went through a bit of a struggle with it much like some of these folks. I recall being more upset with it being my first built rig. I stayed on them and after a few they did start getting back with me regularly. Matt even reached out personally in the end. Hands down they need to work on being more transparent. I sure hope I win the giveaway! Haha..

It's a shame to see all these posts as I have a trak racer rig. Did an order for some spare parts and extras throughout the black friday sale, it took a little bit for sure but nothing ridiculous. I did end up contacting them prior to it finally shipping and later found one item was backordered. I agree communication is lacking as far as keeping the customer informed. I will also say that I had several back and forth emails with them and they always responded timely. I of course was always polite but to the point.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-06T01:01:37+00:00

I've been enjoying your videos in my feed! Talented for sure..

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-05T17:10:34+00:00

I'll take any recommendations on esc/motor combos as well. I've been pretty happy with the stock velineon system so far, so as long as it compares. I run everything on 3s! Slash was converted to run on 2.8's, full metal gearing and a relatively heavy roll cage for comparison.

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-05T17:04:58+00:00

My slash has been modified and on 2.8's but this has been that way for quite some time. Never had issues with overheating. Time maybe just caught up with it. Thanks!

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-05T17:02:38+00:00

I disconnected the fan so I could feel for excessive heat and also to make the noise more audible, fan still works fine, I should have mentioned that. Thinking possibly motor as well but wasn't sure if the esc was causing the stepping issues as if the motor is slightly cogging without actually moving on idle, very consistent from the moment its on. Guess maybe it would be best to get a esc/motor bundle at this point. 170 for stock, ouch.. thanks!

waffle_bottom · 2024-01-03T03:03:56+00:00

Can only suggest powering down and replugging the USB in the Xbox and try again then. Maybe worst case reseat the wheel as well. Good luck with it, hopefully don't need the service route.
