They have really worked on reliability this go around as they didnt want to be known for having unreliable hardware. Look around the forums a little bit and you will see thrustmaster has issues of their own, like i said I owned 3 and not by choice.

My local Gamestop got a TX for in me this morning. I am very reluctant to buy another Fanatec wheel after the bad experience. I would like to buy that CSL base but I just don't trust them anymore.

Fanatec wheels have had issues in the past with their motors (cheap mabuchi DC motors that were punching above their weight) but the move to brushless motors means that the motor are much stronger and way more durable and have very little fade.



No hardware is immune to issues, but I wouldnt write fanatec of because of past experiences, they have gone to great lengths to improve reliability with the newer wheels. Like you said you've had your pedals for 4 years, im still using my original CSP that I've had for nearly 6 years and I've only had to replace 1 load cell, They do make good pruducts.
