Fanatec Podium DD1 - Longevity?

[Patata531]

Hello guys,

I am currently driving on a TR300 RS GT Edition and I am quite happy. Nevertheless, I am also looking on what is on the market out there and maybe buying something new in the future.

So I will buy an Next Level Racing F-GT Cockpit and also some new pedals, the fanatac V3 with the performance kit (T3PA currently). I also looked into the market of Direct Drive Wheels and stumbled over the DD1 and DD2 from fanatec.
I know that the DD2 has more power, but I also know that the DD1 is more than enough. So in the first place, I would choose the DD1 - but then I read from some people, that the DD1 had some issues about longevity and now i am concerned that I would spent more than 1k+ just that the DD1 is broken after a few years.

So I am really thinking that the longer garanty would be a selling point for me? Cause I suggest that the DD1/DD2 would be the last wheel, that I would ever need to buy.

Nevertheless, I would go first for the pedals and the racing cockpit, so I am not really in a rush.
