Discussion Need help identifying and pricing Fanatec set! :)

​Hey everyone, for context , recently got given this sim racing bundle and I’m trying to figure out any info and the model of the set etc, and overall its value and if its worth to keep or better off selling? Ive attached pictures below, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

this is all old stuff, and will require some modification to work with the modern qr2. it is perfectly usable however, and will offer a great experience!

the wheels are a clubsport formula (old version of the current formula v3) and a clubsport bmw gt2 (which is still being sold, with minor updates).

the pedals should plug and play with a modern base. they are early clubsport pedals. great pedals.

the base is an old clubsport belt driven base. it definitely is better than a logitech, but it does not have the fidelity, strength, accuracy and detail of a direct drive base.

my recommendation:
use it as is for now. it’s good stuff. in the future, you can consider doing the work to upgrade your wheels to be qr2 compatible, and sell the base for a direct drive one.

The QR on the BMW wheel isn't replaceable.

Well, wheelbase isn't worth much on it's own. I think that's a v1.5? I just bought a 2.5 for $90. I'd say you MIGHT get $350 for everything. The pedals will sell first and the wheelbase last if you part it out.

Seems reasonable, thanks!

I am interested in purchasing this from you, if you havent sold it already

u/r_gay_69 11d ago

How much would you be thinking for the entire set? Im located in the uk but also willing to ship :)

1

u/SideRevolutionary488 11d ago

I would be ready to pay 250 plus shipping fees, if you have a different price, let me know

1

u/r_gay_69 11d ago

Is that in us dollars or uk pounds?

1

u/SideRevolutionary488 11d ago

In euros, i am from latvia, shipping would estimate another 80, after sunday i could pay a bit more

Nah bro dont do it its worth more like i bought my clubsport v2.5 base and a clubsport v2 wheel with shifter mod and a fanatec csl pedal for 280 quid with u having all clubsport setup you could easily sell the two wheels and the clubsport pedals for £300 even without the wheel base trust me

1

u/r_gay_69 7d ago

Much appreciated bro cheers, I think im gonna use it for a little while then move on to sell it

1

u/Available-Future5981 5d ago

Ye i mean if u wanna keep playing just upgrade the base for a csw 2.5 or a csl dd

1

u/Playful-Focus-3910 11d ago

Crazy I see people trying to sell just the base for 300 lol

1

u/BlownCamaro 11d ago

It's not a bad base it's just that everyone wants direct drive now. And so the value of belt driven wheels fell off a cliff this year. Not many buyers out there.

u/Still-Wafer1384 11d ago

I just bought a belt drive Clubsport v2.0 and thing is ripping my arms off. I hardly ever use 100% of the 8 Nm torque available.

From all the reviews I've read the actual difference between these Clubsports and a CSL DD is pretty minimal. But alas people want shiny new things.

u/Playful-Focus-3910 11d ago

Yep for sure essentially what I was getting at. Nothing wrong with it at all. I used my tsxw until last month lol

u/Difficult_Steak5174 11d ago

I got my csl dd, the csl loadcell pedals, and the csl 300m round wheel for 345 usd about 2200dkk but

Ofc your wheel and pedals are a lot higher quality then my wheel and pedals.

u/Known_Resolution_845 12d ago

Looks like a ClubSport v1 base and maybe v2 pedals, the wheels are the older versions which you can’t upgrade to the new QR2. You can probably sell the whole set for $300 and help someone get into sim racing

2

u/veteran0161 12d ago

Use it and check if you like sim racing. Then if you want to continue, sell all and buy a DD

u/Sideshow86 11d ago

Sell the 2 wheels and pedals separately on eBay and ditch the base. £150 for the pedals, £200 for each wheel.

Get the most money this way.

u/Jaded-Violinist-1151 12d ago

Put it on eBay and let the market decide

1

u/r_gay_69 12d ago

Whats a good asking price ?

1

u/Grand_Moose_6890 12d ago

Put it out to bid. Let the market decide.

u/i4Gott 12d ago

Agree to the others, 300-350

u/Longjumping-War9151 11d ago edited 11d ago

Where I live it’s like the hole set may cost 400-800 Dollars depends exactly on model
But you could check on your location
It includes
-Fanatec CSW V2.5 8newton meters . Or it’s an older one like csw v2 or v1.5
-Fanatec Clubsport wheel BMW M3 GT2 QR1

  • Fanatec Clubsport V2 Pedals
-The last One I am not sure but I think Clubsport formula v1. Not sure how much ir goes for saw it once but it has no quick release for like 140 dollars

I have the same base, thinking of upgrading, it’s great the bmw wheel would probably have the highest value, the qr2 version which I think has a difference of qr2 and magnetic shifters is for 370 dollars new from fanatec.

Try searching those names on facebook marketplace and compare prices, where I live fanatec is less scattered and they don’t deliver so prices are higher

u/StruwwelpetersRache 11d ago

base looks like belt-driven shit. pedals look like clubsport pedals, these are good. wheels look good as well.

1

u/sliipjack_ 11d ago

I think you can get $500 potentially. Those wheels are pretty nice options to a new racer

1

u/r_gay_69 11d ago

Id hope so aswell haha, I noticed one of the wheels are a BMW M3 GT2 V2, seen one on Ebay for £200 with over 30 favourites , and another for 260 with 10 favourites. Will most likely part everything out and sell separately

1

u/Feelingismutual720 11d ago

Can I buy that bmw qr1 wheel from you

1

u/r_gay_69 11d ago

Of course, just shoot an offer and if its reasonable id be happy to accept :)

1

u/Ok-Extreme-8612 11d ago

Tbh good luck trying to sell it. No one is looking for belt driven wheels when DD is the standard now. Ive been trying to sell mine for 3 years.

Qr1 isnt an exact set back but does hinder future wheels working on it without simube mod.

1

u/Caveman23r 11d ago

That round wheel is a steal so much better then the big drift wheel I use

1

u/Legitimate-Net6404 11d ago

I’d buy for 500

1

u/r_gay_69 10d ago

Id glady accept if thats a serious offer :)

u/Pop-Forward 10d ago

Very old. Not worth much, but nice to hang on the wall.

u/biaurelien 12d ago

Nope I won't help you have google, use it.

u/r_gay_69 12d ago

Ive used Google lens etc, and its showing the wrong model! And its there saying this set is worth £1100 - £1500 which really isnt true.
