Try watching AVE tool testing. He reads the box, pulls it apart, tells you how they lied, then puts it back together in the hopes it still works.

13:21 To manually switch your racing wheel base from T2PA / T3PA / T3PA-Pro mode to T-LCM mode, simultaneously press the downshift (left) paddle on the wheel + the MODE button on your wheel base for 3 seconds. This will allow the pedals to work at a 16 bit resolution, if you have the latest firmware installed (v31.00)! 28:23 To calibrate, the pedals must be connected directly to the PC via the USB cable. Calibration tool won't work with the RJ12 connection type! After calibration, you can reconnect the pedals and the wheel base with the RJ12 cable, because the settings you selected during calibration are already saved in the pedal’s internal memory.

You are the Bob Ross of Sim Racing. I love your videos.

First time viewer here. Excellent video! I love the way its organised into sections and looks at each aspect of the pedals in depth. Very well thought out :) I'm here because im returning to sim racing and researching my new setup.

Love this video, it includes all I was looking for, good job !!

Reminds me of Bob Ross, but for sim racing, so thorough and such a soothing voice to listen to. appreciate the time you took with this review and all of your reviews

Best information and instructional video I have ever watched Hands Down!

Great video, thank you for the thorough breakdown & detail. Finally received my pedals this week. This video allowed me to remove the ballast: I have a Playseat Challenge and frequently transport it upstairs & downstairs and back, and need it as light as possible. Also, I like a stiffer throttle (than what is on the T3PA), and I haven't used the clutch pedal as I don't have experience driving with it, so I was able to switch the 2 springs between them. Cheers

Best review on KZread. Thanks, man. Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷🤝🏁

Thanks for this video, you helped me solve a problem that occurred the other day with my brake pedal - the set screw underneath that forms the block to keep the pedal from going too far forward had somehow loosened to the point that all my springs flopped loose. :)

Thanks Barry! Thorough as always.

Loving the videos Barry. Thank you.

On closer inspection it looks like the brake pedal is mounted onto a metal bracket that is screwed into the plastic base, to help it withstand the higher load compared to the throttle and clutch. You should probably add an annotation to clarify this as I, and probably many others, initially thought all the pedals were on plastic pivots.

I love your review , i love your cockpit and i love ur simracing skills! Great work man!

I see Barry's new video notification, i wear my robe, turn down the lights, put a glass of Jack Daniel's and sit back on the couch...

Great review, as usual. Love the channel.

Excellent review. I am going to invest in the T300RS GT set very soon. And after watching this, will definitely be upgrading the pedal set to the load cell unit! Cheers.

Saw the video length and thought this would be a drag. I was absolutely wrong, this was an incredible video with a perfect amount of detail, thank you so much for the in-depth review, I've constantly been having issues with pots and now I think I know what my next investment is. Cheers :)

First video I've watched of yours. Brilliant video with so much detail! 2 things from me: 1. I love how you're an esk8er like me (saw the LaCroix in the background!) 2. I saw lots of movement side to side when you were using the pedals as you highlighted. For £179.99 it's worth it but I'd rather invest a little more and get something more robust! Cheers for the great video again. I'm subscribed :D

I like that the gas and clutch pedals feel the same. Good if one wants to use the same set of pedals for both flight and race sims.

I would really like to see these pedal reviews with the sim motion turned off for a minute or two. That way we'd be able to see how much actual flex are in the pedals and heel plates.

@SaartjeandRufus

2 жыл бұрын

good point

On the bottom of the pedals underneath the sticker, there is a threaded rod that is tightened down by a nut, that acts as the stopper for the brake pedals return travel. You can adjust it to get more room where the springs would go. Really useful if you want to use different bushings, etc to give it a little bit of a firmer feel

Very nice review, thanks. Subscribed.

Well done on another thorough review. For me, I'm coming from G25 pedals. I'm now debating over the Ricmotech LC mod for my G25 set or going to this set. The main issue is the use of plastic in the pivot points and the plastic bushings. These will not get tighter with age and in your video, there's already a lot of flex...

"DO NOT pull that off. Although I might pull that off." LoL

Thanks for the thorough review! I already see how people gonna start selling the same kind of spring sets for throttle and clutch too, because the design of how these pedals travel is kind of the same, they're just hidden under the top cover. That would be the first thing I'd buy to make this pedalset almost ideal.

8:26 i foresee an haptic feedback addon for the pedals for emulating things like ABS.

​Great video thank you for the detailed review. Being primarily a console player, and a TM wheel user, these have been on my list for a while now, glad to hear other than the softness you mentioned they feel like they are as good as expected. I am curious if you think the "softness" could be improved by slotting the small bridge in the hinges and dropping a washer in there? If you take a look at the 37:05 mark when you are looking at the circuit board under one of the pedals, you get a great view of the hinge, and to me it looks like that would be easily doable and wouldn't affect the clearance to the arm as the arm rides in between the hinges. OR, am I too worried about something that may not really be that noticeable? Especially if I am coming from the T3PA pedals?

I could listen to his voice all day

Great review as always. I was wondering if it would work if you change the spring with a rubber bushing.

That sound intro gave me chills

I remember modding my t3pa pedals with transmission springs to make the clutch and acceleration pedal stiffer they are color based for stiffness and for the break pedal I used a old top hat bushing I trimmed down to fit the slot under the pedal they still work great today

Thank you Barry.

Excellent sim channel !!!!!

Lets get to it! 🔥

great review, as always. this is a very promising set of pedals, considering my background of owning and modifying various pedal sets including ClubSport and Elite LC. For the price this set seems to be the best and most versatile. From this review I can see that it's very easy to invert them - swap the wires on pcb, springs and plates for brake and clutch, done. Barry missed one thing: the brake plate can be adjusted up and down - there 4 sets of holes for bolts in the pedal arm itself, all arms actually. Looking to buy this set for the fun project - take out arms with pcbs and building three separate metal bases for each pedal to get rid of all plastic and be able to move and mount them individually. ClubSport pedals are good as is, but on my set both springs are snapped and loadcell died. On Elite LC pedal set pots are not consistent and pedals have movement at pivot points, so I made a single pedal out of damaged ClubSports for gas/accelerator and use two pcbs now - one for CS gas and vibration motors, another one for Elite LC brake, clutch and Fanatec handbrake. Also on my Fanatec SQ shifter the spring snapped for its Sequencial function, and on my CSL Elite PS4 wheel rim built-it display stopped working which made it impossible to adjust the settings. Not a pleasant experience for me with Fanatec products ( except the CSL Elite PS4 wheel base - it's awesome for my needs). these T-LCMs are great for the price, but I can't find them anywhere in the states at this moment. wonder when they go on sale? P. S. Got them from Microcenter.

Yea, my first thought was that its just rather simple plastic base, but solid HW in it, so why not simply build metal housing for it. Think thats not that hard to do.

Your garage is my dreamhouse

That mounting bracket (if im not mistaken) to make this pedal set compatible with existing Thrustmaster mounting holes, my F-GT cockpit has pre drilled holes for Thrustmaster pedals. Makes the mounting hardware backwards compatible without having to drill

NIce driving and review. Crazy the price has stayed the same.

I have these and they’re as solid as the real ones on my old S2000. Sometimes I think the high end sim equipment is actually better than what you’d get on a real car, and paradoxically somewhat unrealistic. Case in point: Very few cars have adjustable pedals of any sort. You just deal with it.

@greengringolr

Жыл бұрын

The high end stuff is supposed to mimic race cars not road cars

Nice to see that you can remove the clutch pedal, because I don't need it and it seems like it would interfere with my left foot which I use to brake. Exactly the info I searched for. Thank you!

Great video Barry as usual. If you can remember your settings what did you settle with for non heel toe brake force? Did you stay at 90 or change to something else? How did you go about calibrating in iracing? I feel like I am locking up too often and I'm using the stiffest springs. Thanks ;)

I think these are great for bundling with the TM higher end wheels. As far a buying standalone, I’d probably go with some Fanatec pedals.

I watched a teardown of a Thrustmaster T2 recently. While I never owned one, that level of build quality is familiar to me as someone that started gaming in the '80s. Because of this, the habit of being perhaps a little too gentle on my equipment has become ingrained. I don't tend to slam gear shifters (even in a real car), or stomp on pedals and it took me a while to feel comfortable resisting a force feedback wheel because I thought I might damage it (I still do with higher settings). I'd probably get on okay with this set due to this trait, but part of me thinks I may be better off upgrading to more robust equipment that I'm not afraid to give some abuse.

nice setup!!!

Great review! Thanks for your detailed explanation. I´m considering to buy this pedals but I´m between these and the CSL Elite LC. I also saw your CSL Elite review but I'm not finished deciding. What do you think about this T-LCM? Do you think that its lifecycle will be good despite the plastic?

Nice review, and glad to see Thrustmaster up their game! About the mounting points at 8:39 the fith one in the center is to secure to your rig the inner brake pedal steel frame to avoid pedal plate flex and fatigue under hard braking, you can see the bolt on the steel brake pedal frame at 30:20 it must allow better precision too especially while using the harder red springs like you did.

And I can make a metal brace to reinforce the injection-moulded plastics base.

The plastic bushings are probably more responsible for the soft feel than the molded plastic mount. Installing brass or bronze bushings instead of the plastic ones would increase the stiffness but would also increase the stress imposed on the plastic mounts. It would be interesting to see then how long the plastic mounts last. I bought a set of these pedals when they hit the market and they are a good loadcell pedal for the price.

Hi, don't know if anyone shared the info here, but I've just opened it up to see what was inside the ballast and it's dry cement or concrete, so don't bother to try and fill it with something heavier. Truth is it's just a minor help to anyone who can't screw it on a rig. Without screwing it you have to use the softer spring combination and calibrate it to about 60%. It's still better than a "normal" non load cell but you loose most of it's potencial. If calibration is set to heavier than 60% with the soft spring combination the set keeps lifting. Hope his info helps anyone. Edit: btw concrete from the info I've could understand is about the heavier they could have filled the ballast with, unless they'd poor liquid led in to the ballast.

it is 100kg pressure on the loadcell but due to the lever of the pedals it's less kg at the pedal itself. I'm curious how much it is. I don't like that some pedal manufacturers only advertise their products with the force their loadcell is capable of and not how much kg is needed on the pedal to get 100kg on the loadcell. Heusinkveld is open about it. The HE Sprint have a 120kg loadcell in the brake pedal and you actually need 64kg on the break pedal to achieve this. Looking at the T-LCM I would say it would be around 40kg to maximum 50kg effective pressure possible on the brake pedal. Edit: after taking some measures, taking some angles into account and trying some maths I get around 60 to 65kg pedal pressure to get 100kg on the loadcell... phew..

The price is on par with the elites The technology is on par with the clubsports (hall instead of pots) The use of plastic is how they managed that feat I'd go with it if trying to save money, elites are a step down technology wise but if money is no concern go for the clubsports

I like your reviews a lot, but I have a criticism to make. I bought this pedals soon after your review. Now, almost an year latter, my break pedal started to have a forward resting point, so forward that the load cell rod disconnected from the pedal at the back. Opened it up, expenting to find a bend plastic or something like that, because the force caused by the two red springs is very strong when you don't have a little play in the middle spring (deadzone). My surprise was the break pedal assembly is fully metal and there is an adjustable resting point screw, accessible from the bottom (without opening the structure). That's not emphatized in the review, and should have been - it's a fundamental characteristic of this pedals - the load cell, with very strong metal struture (the middle mounting point of this set is to suport the brake pedal even further). I have much more confidence in theses pedals, and recommend it to anyone.

Hi, i recently had the same issue with pedal being loose and the resting point screw needed to be tightend up but i did notice it has (or mine does) a red what looks like thread lock and i would assume this needs to be re-applied. Also if you tighten the screw to far it will apply pressure to the load cell kinda as if you was resting your foot on it so i backed it off a touch to the correct point using the calibration tool. Hopefully you see this as i am wondering if the screw came loose again after you adjusted yours?
