MadCatz MC2 Racing Wheel Video Review

[TheAirNikes]

How do i get my petals to work? Like i dont even no how to set the thing up lol.

[JPproductions151]

i have the same one but the older one can you tell me if the wheel is big because mine looks smaller thumbs up so he can see thanks

[onlinegamer26]

Does it has vibration?

Please answer.

[Danielhsv0]

Update Vid Update Vid PLEASE!

[Danielhsv0]

Clutch + Force Feedback = Make it perfect

[MrMrbobo123]

BY THE WAY YOU DID INSULT MY NEED OF LANGUAGE.........TWAT!

[mhavrilla88]

@MrMrbobo123 He says native not need of moron.

[TlathamXmahtalT]

@DuhamelEW10J4S

Probably because you bought it used, like an idiot.

[atvking04032]

looks cheep and a peace of crap next to a g27 dont it ?

[TlathamXmahtalT]

@atvking04032

No shit, retard. Anything looks cheap (you spelled it wrong) and a piece (you used the wrong one) of crap next to any Logitech wheel.

Too bad Logitech doesn't make anymore Xbox wheels.

[atvking04032]

@TlathamXmahtalT look up XCM converter and that will let it so that you can use the wheel on the xbox look up sim racing and go and look at there videos they have a clip of it and how it works

[rivalcf4]

@atvking04032 You'll have to find a replacement if you can't use it with Forza 4 for example because you can't use a G27 with FM4.

[Nrodful]

If you're able to secure the wheel and pedals so it does not move it's one of the best steering wheel in the market no matter what the price.

[TlathamXmahtalT]

Thank you for the great review. You've convinced me to buy this wheel!

[greenbutt123]

How has the MC2 been since you bought it? Does it react fast with no delays from when you move or press a pedal to see it on screen? Is it reliable?

[Iampablothedragon]

What do you do for clutch exactly?

[PedoThePandaBear]

@Iampablothedragon what do you mean, like what is a clutch for ?

[TheBadboiiash1]

(brain fart)lol

[SexyyDaniel]

'"they are not uhhh drugs"

[obscuresword]

I have the one for PS2/Xbox/GC and it's pretty awesome.

[samtalbot1]

did you get the sponge in the break pedal?

[mitchell3cowan2]

How much did ur old one cost?

[AciNSANiTYLOL]

this guy is funny as hell

[mrthesplit22]

nascar seriously?

[rawrforme68123]

does it vibrate at all?



[left4halo4]

getting this and Forza 4 for christmas :P

[123karox]

@left4halo4 Haha I asked for this and Forza 4 too! COINCIDENCE?

[left4halo4]

@123karox

"Likes your comment"

[left4halo4]

@left4halo4

Just sucks this doesn't come with a clutch

[TheQuack45]

One question: If you turn the wheel really far, and then let go, will the wheel go back to the center on its' own?

[DanishDownUnder11]

Are the suction cups as good as a clamp or should I use it on my lap

[thr33lif3sl3ft]

100 dol-HAIRS :D

[sticklift]

is this worth getting till i can get a fanatec setup with tax returns. I had the madcatz wireless one, but it stopped working so i smashed it on the floor. I just use it to play F1 2011

[DanEllisRacing35]

@sticklift In my opinion, yes.

[traxxasrcs100]

@DanEllisRacing35 is the gas petal the right trigger and the brake the left trigger

[floridaracing111]

@sticklift DONT, save the monwt for the fanatec, or if you really can't wait, go for a thrustmaster 458. cheaper/better

[TheAwesomeshark]

does it have force feedback

[DanEllisRacing35]

@TheAwesomeshark I state about 3 times that it does not have FF. Listen!

[jeromechandlier]

@DanEllisRacing35 does it have force feedback? lol

[TheAwesomeshark]

@DanEllisRacing35 just making sure before i decide to throw 100 dollars at it.

[evh7775150]

@DanEllisRacing35 How the fuck can he "listen"!? You babble on like a fucking retarded nut job. Try editing your shitty video, Rain man minus the skills. And clean your damn room ya slob! You do live with your mom don't you! lol And great job testing it with Forza 4! NOT! Way to update your shit Capt. Slow!

[hwdestroyer]

@DanEllisRacing35 Does it have force feedback??

[EL345150]

Yeah fuck Gaystop crooks! They are the devil! Have you had a chance to test this out with FORZA 4 yet? And how does it hold up to the old crappy MS wheel with it's famous dead zone? lol Thanks.

[Littlewolf34]

Awesome..Mug rootbeer..that's what I drink when racing.

[Darman017]

this guys is funny as fuck

[DanEllisRacing35]

@Darman017 Thanks. I try. :)

[Mrbillybob1171]

@Darman017 you are right there :)

[Zombl337]

nice wheel, but FUCK Gamestop

[45babo]

is it compatibile with Forza 4?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@45babo Well, seeing that Forza 4 hasn't been released yet, I am not sure. But it should be.

[topgear93]

@45babo Its compatible with any existing xbox compatible wheel..

[CAM64CAM64]

ccall me cheap but thats the best steering wheel in my opinion, not becouse its cheap, but becouse its sturdy, nice to use, and goodlooking, other wheels cos £90-£100 (or $160-$180 if thats what it is) and they are to flimsey in my opinion! :)

[EviLNox8]

So it has no table mount? It has to sit in your lap?

[CAM64CAM64]

@EviLNox8 no mine has suction pad things on the bottom of it for a table

[CAM64CAM64]

Respond to this video...

[2703Flo]

I like this Wheel !

[CaliMist18]

@DanEllisRacing35 i know right!! i am such a retard...lol... but thanks for the video i actually went out and bought one today!!

[CaliMist18]

nm my last comment im an idiot

[DanEllisRacing35]

@CaliMist18 LOL Let it be a lesson to WATCH THE WHOLE THING before commenting!

[CaliMist18]

thats a logitech wheel not a mad catz

[HazardousLinkinPark]

Pretty useful review. I may get this if I can't find anything better for the same price.

[olepotti]

it should be MC12 racing wheel.. that wouldve been awesome :D

[ordealbyfire]

I don't get it. There's a gear shifter, but no clutch..?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@ordealbyfire Its a sequential shifter. Real cars with a sequential shifter don't need a clutch to shift gears.

[travellingartistfilm]

@DanEllisRacing35 Actually they do, well in wrc and most rally :) Im a racing nerd like that haha

[ssj5devilhunter666]

so would u say this wheel is better than the microsoft wheel?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@ssj5devilhunter666 Yes.  I would.

[c3p024]

not like drugs lol

[RacingDoctor123]

It sucks

[Y0J0E36]

This video was made in February, so has to held up with no problems?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@Y0J0E36 It works great. I use it for Iracing. Not the best wheel for it, but it works.

[sannyf2000]

be intresting to hear about its lifespan form heavy use.

[thehubbabubbamax31]

im trying to decide whether to get the Mad Catz MC2 wheel or the Mad Catz wireless wheel...any suggestions?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@thehubbabubbamax31 Personally, I like the wired wheel. No batteries to constantly change/or extra outlet needed. Plus, there isn't a delay in the controls. It may be a tiny delay with the wireless wheel, but in racing every millisecond counts.

[C0NNORx024x]

Hey dude, i cant decide which wheel to get, the Logitech or the Madcatz. I have only one question though, is the Logitech only "padel shift" or do the two things on either side act as a sequential? PLZ RESPOND ASAP. Thank you.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@C0NNORx024x The Logitech ONLY has the paddle shifters. and they arent really paddles. They are more of tiny little hard to find buttons. The MadCatz MC2 has BOTH a sequential shifter and paddle shifters. The diffrence between "Paddle shifters" and a "Sequential shifter" is just the placement of the shifter. kinda like a real car. some cars have an automatic transmission with the shifter on the steering column, while others have the shifter on the floor.

[C0NNORx024x]

@DanEllisRacing35 Thanks for the quick response , and personally, which do u think is better?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@C0NNORx024x I like the MadCatz MC2 much better. It lacks Force Feedback, but it is an amazing wheel even without it.

[Maddog3281]

How long is the cable that connects the wheel to the Xbox 360?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@Maddog3281 If I were to guess, Maybe 4.5 to 5 feet. I don't have a tape measure, so it is a rough guess.

[Maddog3281]

@DanEllisRacing35 damn, was gonna get it but I have 8 ft of distance between my gaming chair and Xbox 360

[DanEllisRacing35]

@Maddog3281 USB Extender cord?

[Maddog3281]

@DanEllisRacing35 good idea, was thinking of getting the MadCatz wireless but it is much more expensive and uses a tonne of batterys, great review by the way

[980696]

@DanEllisRacing35 how do you calibrate it? i just got mine today and it doesn't have the calibrate button. mostly the throttle won't register all the way down, even though im pushing it to the ground...

[DanEllisRacing35]

@980696 I honestly don't know. I have to calibrate it separately for each game.

[980696]

@980696 where do you go to calibrate it...?

[nogangstalean]

They are not drugs

[TeamMonkeyDrifting]

would you recommend the microsoft wheel or the madcatz mc2 wheel?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@TeamMonkeyDrifting I would reccomend the MadCatz Wheel

[bigbangpegasus1]

@TeamMonkeyDrifting i dont recommend it the force feed back sucks dont get it



[TeamMonkeyDrifting]

@bigbangpegasus1 so ur gonna tell me not to get it because of the ffb? wow thats not a good reason at all, im getting it anyways

[DanEllisRacing35]

@TeamMonkeyDrifting The MS Wheel has Force Feedback. And it is quite decent. The MadCatz MC2 does not have Force Feedback at all. It has a rumble feature. I turned it off the first day. I have used 3 wheels. The MS wheel, The Logitech FX Drive wheel, and This one (MadCatz MC2.) I prefer the MC2 over the others because of the way the wheel feels in hand, AND the shifter. I really don't mind the lack of Force Feedback.

[TeamMonkeyDrifting]

@DanEllisRacing35 thank you sir, im actually going to get the mc2 as soon as i can, one reason because of your review and the other because of the shifter,

[DanEllisRacing35]

@gangster001ish In my opinion? Yes.

[jjolly123138]

thanks man, Im looking for a wheel and Im building a poor mans cockpit, I would love a fanatec but the price is stopping me. Dont listen to the haters. It was very informative thx again.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@jjolly123138 Thank you for the kind words! And keep me updated on your ghetto cockpit build!

[32110George]

Does the wheel have grip on the bottom

[DanEllisRacing35]

@32110George Well it has 3 suction cups. they grip well but if you don't have a smooth surface, then you may be screwed. My friend Deryl fixed it by duct taping his to a Table Mate. but if you don't have that option, the unit itself is a good weight. mine doesn't move around much at all even during serious driving action.

[kcin125]

wow you are a huugee fag and yes we all saw ur gay NASCAR poster and hat that you were trying to show off.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@kcin125 Thanks for noticing!  :)

[youngmoney565]

IS there a clutch?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@youngmoney565 Do you see a clutch?

[icenater13]

I love how you said pretty damn sweaty at 5:35

[DanEllisRacing35]

@icenater13 Thanks?

[iMatt928]

this was mad hilarious

[DanEllisRacing35]

@iMatt928 Thank you kindly.  :)

[11Superguy]

oh and btw, hows it do at drifting?

[11Superguy]

hey, you gunna sell your old wheel?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@11Superguy I guess i could sell it. you interested?

[11Superguy]

@DanEllisRacing35 yea im interested, how much you wanting?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@11Superguy I dunno. i will give it to you for like 35? Plus the cost of shipping?

[11Superguy]

@DanEllisRacing35 hm...ill have to think about it, get back to you tomarrow

[DanEllisRacing35]

@11Superguy Alright. :)

[11Superguy]

@DanEllisRacing35 never mind i dont need the wheel now, my cousin gave me his old one he just got a new porsche one

[137bff]

will the steering wheel clamp to a table?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@137bff No, but it has some good weight to it. so under normal use, it shouldnt scoot around. it has suction cups on the bottom.

[mcladriftmaniac]

nice vid you made me buy one and i luv it!!!!1 thanx for the great review!!!! i subscribed cuase of this. keep up the good work!!

[DanEllisRacing35]

@mcladriftmaniac Thanks a bunch dude! Glad I helped you make a purchase. :) I will be posting more reviews as I acquire new stuff.

[DRT49]

Dan, don't bother with this troll. He has never contributed a single thing to the world, he's just a basement dweller that has no life and can't tell the difference between FRENCH and Spanish. Do your thing bro!

[DanEllisRacing35]

@DRT49 thanks dude. Glad SOMEONE enjoyed my humor.

[blade659]

your a fucking retard, thats spanish on the box and not some fancy name you dumbass.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@blade659 U mad bro? All i was doing was being dumb. I know what it was. It's called a sense of humor. I suggest you get one.

[blade659]

@DanEllisRacing35 and i suggest you get a fucking life. this video didnt help at all nobody wants a funny guy when watching reviews about these kinda things. they wanna know pro's and con's and whether its worth the money. not a laugh and mediocrity.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@blade659 Then instead of flexing your internet muscles and picking on the small flaws why don't you turn the speakers up and listen to what I say. I talk all about the wheel. And I also have another video that has an update on my opinion of it several weeks later.

[blade659]

@DanEllisRacing35 you know what. how bout you answer my question directly then because i dont feel like listening to your annoying voice. for the price would this thing be a good buy. i mean is it comfortable durable and convenient or is it made flimsily and unorthadox?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@blade659 so you troll my video, then ask my opinion?  WOW. Why do you even care? Or better yet, skip to the end of the video and use your ears. or you can find a different review. Good day to you sir! (Gene Wilder kicks ass)

[DRT49]

@blade659 It's FRENCH, and that makes YOU the retard......

[CandyCaner]

Sorry for the double-comment, but...did you figure out a way to slip a sponge into the brake mechanism? I purchased one from the store yesterday, thinking it was a good idea (and it was on the first wheel, you genius, you!), but when it arrived that afternoon, I saw the way the pedal was arranged and was stumped on how to make it fit and stay put.

Your video was very helpful regardless!

[DanEllisRacing35]

@CandyCaner I havent done anything yet. But your best bet is to cut a tennis ball in half and stick it in there. It is just the right size to work.

[DRT49]

@DanEllisRacing35 Or a racket ball with some holes in it. I have some friends that tried that as well....

[DRT49]

@CandyCaner Have you tried a bit of loop from velcro? Stick it to the bottom of the pedal and the base under the pedal to hold the sponge? I have gentle feet so it's not an issue for me but it should work depending on the type of sponge you are using and it's not a permanent alteration.

[DanEllisRacing35]

@DRT49 That is a great idea. I shall have to try it.

[TheOverheard]

soooo yeah or whatever. anywayss umm how do you witch from paddle to sequential?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@TheOverheard No need to switch. Both are always on.

[man9018]

2:26 Does he Say Brain fart?



[DanEllisRacing35]

@man9018 Yes he does.

[man9018]

@DanEllisRacing35 Wtf?

[MasterLulzington]

semen wheel

[DanEllisRacing35]

@MasterLulzington k? please elaborate.

[CandyCaner]

Hmm...looks like it's the same that went to the Xbox (mine had multiple ports for different systems), but with a spiffy new color scheme and plug.

...which means I'll have a matching set. :-X

[NascarFreak3]

Is the controller wired or wireless?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@NascarFreak3 It is wired. I don't trust wireless wheels. They are too glitchy. No need for wireless for me because my setup is close to my television and xbox.

[SpazSpazzAndSpazer]

how does it cope with difting in games?

[DanEllisRacing35]

@SpazSpazzAndSpazer It is decent.  Goes from lock to lock quickly.

[zarin666]

My tripod got... dead....

theres a huge dead zone, at least on mine there is.........um.........Brainfar­t.

Im gonna sneeze any minute now....

This is the big khahunna, or big.... good.... thing.....

Brings up....... that thing..... (guide menu)

Just slap it in there, itll stay firm...

Dude, really..... your fucking awesome lol instant subscribe

[DanEllisRacing35]

@zarin666 Why thanks! I tend to come up with interesting alternative words or ways of explaining things. I try to avoid the retarded words like "Thingy" or "Doohicky" I can't stand people who say that stuff. lol. Anyways, Thanks a bunch for the comment!
