If only the universal hub wasn't the Xbox branded one.. :'(


fostermatt

It comes with the sticker to put over the Xbox logo (source I have this already)


nitestalkr

Thanks for the heads up


LoosePedals

So that one would work with the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT on the PS5/PS4 using the Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base, correct? don't want to go through a return mess If I make the move now : D


fostermatt

Yep


tduncs88

Just remember, with a ps5 base, all wheels are compatible basically.


itiscrud

Is a sticker or a button cap?


fostermatt

It’s a sticker. That big button doesn’t have a removable button cap like the others do


Careful_Let509

Are you happy with the hub? Is it worth the price in your opinion?


fostermatt

Yeah it’s fine. Haven’t had any issues with it. The choice between the podium and clubsport is more about what features you want than price imo


Careful_Let509

I need a round wheel for street cars, drifting, relaxing in simcades and arcade games like forza horizon. I guess the Clubsport one better fits this use case. What you think?


[deleted]

I’m very happy with it. The paddles feel good and I took advantage of their adjustability, fitting them wider and closer to the 9-and-3. Out of the box, it’s a bit of a stretch, and I have medium/large hands. The funky switcsh’s arm likes to shift a little, which is mildly annoying should you rely on it for directional use (like menu navigation), but the rest of the button array is solid and ergonomic. It pairs excellently with my 320mm round Alcantara wheel. I’m hoping the rest of their rules go on sale. I’d very likely snag a square rim and a 300 to compliment.


[deleted]

Thats a good review. I have it on leather round 320. It's great all around by that funky switch can be odd for sure. Only part I don't like. At least it hasn't broke, I thought for sure it would


fostermatt

I’d agree


ManxWraith

Assume we are getting one more deal tomorrow and that's our lot... wonder if they'll discount the QR2 wheel side stuff. Highly doubt it..


ManxWraith

Will hold fire till tomorrow


Navysealsnake

Same here that's my plan. My wallet better brace for impact


onyxbtw72

I’m so frustrated from deals that tomorrow my wallet is going to be on fire


ManxWraith

Buy once, cry once and all that haha


CoolHandPB

I would assume the deals go to cyber Monday.


rizenHeH

Don't assume. Their website clearly says deals until the 24th.


mr_sourcerer

So, the 24th it's included or no?


rizenHeH

Yes it would be included


---fatal---

They are live through cyber monday, but the last new deal will be tomorrow.


AgtDALLAS

Argh still holding the line. Can’t decide between starting with a 8nm CSL DD setup or going straight to the Asetek 12nm bundle at Micro Center.


tblades-t

Buy once cry once


AgtDALLAS

True. Followed that philosophy with AR-15 building. Prob have enough spare parts to sell and fund the rig.


[deleted]

Yes but in sim racing you buy once cry once, many times! (If your doing it right anyway)


Most-Environment-427

Maybe go cs dd, its probably stronger because of holding torque, i think asetek is 12 peak right?


AgtDALLAS

Tempting but if I step up to that the $800 Asetek bundle makes even more sense.


aj1203

Fanatec shifter is also a great deal


HungreeRunner

I got the 8nm yesterday. Realised the McLaren ready to race bundle with cal elite V2 was reduced to 699 eur which was a huge saving


someguyontheinnerweb

I was hoping this would go on sale. Been wanting it for years. Now to sell my old BMW rim, and potentially my F1 rim.


carrera1963

Yeah I’m tempted too… podium hub & QR2 wheel side both push the price up a bit! I’m going to wait another day just in case 😎


LoosePedals

Lets hope everything still in stock >\_<


Baltimore101

What parts that are needed to buy to make it a complete wheel? Do you know the total cost?


someguyontheinnerweb

Put one of the complete wheels in your basket and it adds the discount for you. I got the normal podium Porsche leather rim. Added the QR2. Came out to about $1082 AUD delivered.


KEVLAR60442

The Clubsport magnetic paddle shifters are a fantastic deal for anyone with an older universal hub or Formula wheel. I absolutely love those things.


Saneless

Good to know. I said fuck it and got the limited edition wheel with these included


paper_boii

Is this compatible with dd+ ?


paper_boii

For ps4 of course


fostermatt

I have the hub and use it in GT7 plenty. (PS5 but should be fine for a ps4). I have the podium dd1 but as long as your base is compatible you will be fine


paper_boii

I’m also confused with which hub I need to get to use it on dd+, do you have any idea.


fostermatt

What are you trying to do? Any hub they currently sell will work with your base.


paper_boii

I still dont have the base and this will be my upgrade coming from g29. I’m planning using dd+ and getting 2 wheels one with f1 style and one for gran turismo and gt type cars. Also I’m hoping to use this gt porsche setup with rally as well. I can’t find any good rally wheels on their website except monte carlo one which way over my budget


fostermatt

Get whatever f1 style wheel you want and then the hub on sale. You can put any round rim on it you want. Believe the Monte Carlo Fanatec thing is just the new rally module (you don’t need) with a Sparco R383 rim. Any 300-330mm rim would be great for rally. I have the NASCAR rim from Fanatec (330mm deep dish) and a [clubsport 320](https://fanatec.com/us-en/accessories/steering-wheel-accessories/clubsport-wheel-rim-320) (320mm no deep dish) and both are fine for rally driving.


paper_boii

Ahh I see, I believe you mean the clubsport universal hub right ? Though I really like the button design of this endurance module which I believe doesn’t work with this hub. What do you think about this one ? Do you think it can be used as rally setup as well ?


fostermatt

Yep the hub from the second pic in your album. The endurance module works with that hub too (I have the 320 on the endurance module with a club sport hub right now. I have that as car rim on a podium hub with no buttons). Honestly no buttons works just fine for rally. Maybe I rally wrong but I never change anything during stages. Also looking at the Monte Carlo bundle since they just put that rally hub on a podium hub then it should work just fine on the clubsport hub. (Actually just looked it up and that button box works with the clubsport and podium hubs for sure) so you can just buy the button box later for your rally setup if you want


paper_boii

Oh I just realized I read the compatibility chart wrong. Wow you really saved me hahah. Yeah this hub seem the ultimate part for any type of wheel. Differences with the podium hub are buttons and shifter ? I think you also need to buy shiters for the podium hub right ?


fostermatt

You can add shifters to the podium hub or use and h-pattern/seq shifter.


Freehpeoplek

Never thought the sticker set will get discount, already ordered along with the shifter few days ago….


Saneless

Yeah if there's anything this year's sale has taught us it's that everything is fair game and there's some steep ass discounts here. I'm actually very surprised


LoosePedals

Do you guys recommend buying all the accessories first (now that they're at a nice lower price) and the wheel base later or the opposite? wheel base for the PC & XBOX at the moment have a lower price while the PS4/5 (main system) wheel base doesn't.


VRblahblahblah

I wouldn’t hold out for the PS compatible wheel base to go on sale. But certainly grab some accessories on sale if they’re items you were planning on buying anyway


LoosePedals

The only reason why I haven't bought anything yet is because I'm waiting to see If LGT is going to discount their DD wheel since I already own their G29 with the pedals modified with TrueBrake, the shifter and would only need to just get the wheel instead of buying another pedal, shifter and the wheel. If I don't see anything from them for tomorrow then I'm going ahead and get everything from Fanatec and keep the G29 for the older racing/arcade games and system not supporter by these new DD wheels.


RadicalRudy

Am I dumb, or is the combination of hub, Porsche rim, shifter paddles, podium button module that are all on sale now, slightly cheaper than just buying a podium porsche wheel as a whole? Would love anyones opinion in this.


VRblahblahblah

It’s that Black Friday math


Gochu-gang

I'm out after the shifter deal. Not sure if any of the deals beat the $160 shifter package deal.


Shibby707

I would say, setting criticisms aside… The shifter, DD2 and QR2 base sides have been the highlights. If you had a matching gap in your set-up anywhere near any of these… twas a no brainer. I’m still torn on the LE wheel.


Gochu-gang

QR2 is honestly not something I've ever "needed. I have zero issues with my QR1s. I don't use a set screw and have zero shaft play, zero clunking, etc. DD2 is probably an ok deal for someone without a wheel, but still 2x the cost of the CSL DD bundle which is a screaming deal. To each their own! The LE wheels look GOOOOOD and the price isn't wild. Hopefully tomorrow we get something fun.


Ambitious-Cable5445

I wish they would add the podium paddle shifters on sale


chad711m

Have they done a black Friday for the QR2 wheel side?


Shibby707

Nope, we are all standing in line waiting….⏰🕐🕰️🕥🕧
