The CRAZIEST pedals engineer in the sim world

[@Technoane]

The point you made about how a very stiff brake makes your body robotic, tense and sensitive to injuries is a very good one. In my 10 years of sim racing I went from rock solid brakes and driving 10nm+ of force in my wheel base to a progressive feeling brake with a lot less max. force and just 4 to 5 nm peak force from my base. This has made me a lót more consistent, especially in 1 hour + stints. Just ordered these pedals, can't wait to try them!

[@DrR1pper]

How did you get on with these pedals, 5 months later?

[@Technoane]

@@DrR1pper still as amazing as day one. Couldnt recommend them more :)

[@alpha007org]

These simracing pedals shows how you can create a very impressive product with "thinking like an engineer" with their unique geometry. They appear to be easy to manufacture, offer all the necessary adjustments, and probably a very long lifespan. With their price, this is very impressive product indeed.

[@chepilevski]

I totally agree with you and they also show is possible to have something really strong. For reasonable price 😃

[@tropfen]

the design is absolutely genius. simple yet highly effective. it's designed by someone talented with lots of experience in the field (mechanical engineering, not necessarily sim racing).

[@Afrob0y7]

At this rate of you dropping such detailed videos about pedals, I can never upgrade because the next one will change my mind again aha! Keep it up 👍🏽

[@chepilevski]

🙈🙈🙈 sorry brother 🤗

[@bobbyQQ]

Love my Simgrade VX pedals! Got them when they first got released and it brought back the joy of sim racing for me. Had HE Sprints before and really did not like the way the elastomers feel. Was so tight and unatural. The spring feel in the VX pedals is so smooth, perfect. I can hit the same brake point each time. Highly highly suggest these over anything else in the price bracket.

[@chepilevski]

In that exact price, those are definitely the best I have tested here! They really are way better than the Sprints in every possible way.

[@GuppyMilk334]

Preordered these pedals earlier this year. It was way longer wait because there was tons of preorders, but im really happy with these pedals. I would like little bit longer travel on gas pedal, but im used to these pedals now. I think these are very similar to VRS pedals, but I personally like gas pedal feel better on VX-PROs.

[@DrR1pper]

Did you have the VRS pedals before these?

[@GuppyMilk334]

@@DrR1pper No, but I have used VRS pedals on my friend rig for +10hours.

[@DrR1pper]

@@GuppyMilk334did you remove the plastic at the front of the pedal to give yourself an extra 5-7% travel? Also, what settings do you use on your brake pedal? Many thanks!

[@GuppyMilk334]

@@DrR1pper I havent taken anything out from gas pedal. I need to check that when I can jump on my rig, at the moment I have slipped disk in my back so cant simrace. In software I have 8.5k max and linear curve. Softest spring slot and high pre-load. I have tried different curves and settings, but these basic settings suits me the best.

[@RacingisLif3]

Yes! Good to see this video! Love my VX-Pro's. Very sturdy and adjustable. Excellent build quality. Their support is very good for such a small company. I love that the haptic motor just fits the VX Pro pedalface :D If I can set them up for clutch bite point it would be amazing.

[@chepilevski]

I did some modifications to fit it to the plate but Dan Suzuki have 3D printed adapter solution buddy 🤛

[@RacingisLif3]

Excellent! I'll look into that mounting solution :) @@chepilevski

[@nanoverse]

I really like the brake kit with red spring in the second position. Little bit easier to brake consistently than with yellow spring. Also one tip is to remove the plastic “shim” around the stopping screw to get longer travel and a hard stop feeling.

[@nanoverse]

These are a mega upgrade from the Fanatec V3:s I came from.

[@chepilevski]

As I’ve said, those are easy in my top 5 list of favorite pedals❤️ Really really happy with the performance of those 💪

[@dinxsy8069]

Heusinkveld pedals are old news now unfortunately, Niels did a great job when the sim market was starting to gain momentum but now there's so many options beyond the initial concept he achieved. Now i'm stuck in what ones i would get, was looking at the P1000 but now these came in at a similar price. I wish i could try each to see, cosmetically has an impact on me as well, P1000 look amazing but when do you stare at them when in use. Hall sensor versus load cell. I finally saved enough to get simagic mini after 2 years, so pedals need some serious consideration when it is a 1 purchase limitation.

[@chepilevski]

Absolutely agree for the HE pedals man! They need to do something about it! You have some hard choices to make but either way you won’t go wrong 🤛

[@maverickgoose2305]

I am looking to upgrade my pedals and was looking at the Asetek invicta pedals but you have now thrown in a curve ball for me to think about. I really like the progressive feel in a brake.

[@chepilevski]

Me too man 🤛 If is not progressive is hard for my brain to control those fine inputs in trial braking 🙈

[@maverickgoose2305]

ive put the order in for these. but im having a nightmare trying to install the software from google drive on to my computerfor these. any advise would be appreciated buddy.Thanks@@chepilevski

[@petesreef1891]

Great review Steliyan thinking of changing mine as getting emi interference on my throttle pedal 👍👍👍

[@chepilevski]

Those can be really good option for very good price Pete. Simgarade promises 3 stage filtering against EMI with those! There no way to actually test that as I never had EMI issue with any pedals I’ve tested here but heard lot of complaints from people with all kind of different pedals! Hope you will solve your problem somehow bro 🤛

[@Juukam]

Hey! Can you make video about cheap ways to make immersive rig or something like that!

[@teconomix]

How do they compare to the simagic P1000? I narrowed it down to one of those two, but I cannot decide. I would add the haptics to either one of them. What do you say @racebyondmatters?

[@chepilevski]

I like those, the P1000 and the Sim Lab pedals equally for the asking prices! It is very very hard to pick a winner between those ! One thing I’m definitely sure is whatever way you go, you won’t be disappointed 🤛

[@cliffyouall]

Just recently received thise pedals and can't find that magical 2nd phase for braking. From what I can see 2 plastic spacers are already installed into brake spring, do I need to mount additional one from pacakge to have that 2nd phase ? Thanks for review

[@nanoverse]

No you dont, but I can check later how many I added. I think almost all. I wanted to have the second stage at about 80% and have to push through for 100 when needed.

[@chepilevski]

Hey buddy,the second stage is when you hit the end of the movement of the system! After hit the end you can still apply force and input without movement which is the second stage! I personally hit the bottom at around 85% game input so I know I’m consistent with that percentage which works perfectly in iRacing and if I need to hit 100% at some places I press harder on the pedal without actual movement! The spacers just limit the sprig compression and change how quickly you will reach that second (hard) stage! Hope my explanation makes sense 🤛

[@Thunderdome19108]

Hello First of all, thank you for the great video!! Now I want to start sim racing again after almost a year and I think the best is the Simcube 2 Pro, but I would like to ask you which pedals you recommend. Recently I was traveling with the VRs but now there are so many and since I trust you a lot I would like to ask you which pedals you would use. Thank you for your great videos (google translate 😉)

[@chepilevski]

Hi Sven and thanks for the kind words buddy 🤛 I’ve heard the best things about the VRS pedals but never tested ones! However, those here, Simagic P1000 and Imsim Talento are my favorite pedals from everything I’ve tested here! My advice is, whatever you go for, make sure to add one of the new Simagic haptic motors on the brake! That will change your sim world 100% You will need to find a way to attach and that’s all! I have many videos about that topic. Have a great week buddy 🍻

[@roadrunner_77]

I have the simgrade r7 pedals with the advance brake kit and a rumble motor which I will change with sim magic haptic,I would recommend them to everyone they are just amazing

@@boebsiebyarada9964 Yes I do,you have the goods from both world ,spring and elastomers

[@CharlesK441]

I wish I knew about these before buying HE Wow amazing price too!

[@Technoane]

Will the first stage also feel progressive or linear because it is pushing the spring only?

[@glenndjenkins]

Which would you choose between the VX-Pros and P1000's? The use of a spring in the VX-Pro brake is very attractive to me, especially based on you and Dan Suzuki's review of the elastomers in the P1000's (and all pedals that use elastomers, probably). With that said, having a haptic brake with the P1000's would be an incredible experience, I am sure. VX-Pro, three pedal set: $665 P1000, three pedal set, 1 haptic for the brake: $607 I currently own HE Sprints, but want to upgrade and gain a clutch. I have not experienced any issues with the elastomers on it, and my iRating has improved tremendously with them :). edit: Dan Suzuki did say that Simagic will be releasing spring options for the P1000 brake, which makes it even more appealing. I know someone else asked the same question in these comments and your advice is "can't go wrong with either", in that case I'd probably go with the P1000's because of price and haptics :)

[@chepilevski]

I’m huge fan of the P1000 but the kit will be way more expensive than those here! However, you can use the Simagic Haptic motors on those too but that will be extra 150€ so, the cost will be very close at the end and I believe the haptic for brake is MUST 💪

[@glenndjenkins]

@@chepilevski Thank you for your response! and your incredible videos. The excitement over the haptic brake is assuring for me.

[@umutdegismen]

A quick question about the monitors; would you recommend triple 3840x2160 4k monitors? Or triple 2560x1440?

[@chepilevski]

Hi buddy The 4k monitors are sharp but very harsh for the graphics card! 1440p is sharp enough and will perform better in most games!

[@alejandroleonmagallanes4455]

Wich pedals do You prefer. Heusinkveld Ultimate or this?

[@olivante9513]

I would imagin they feel quite simular to the VRS Pedels?

[@chepilevski]

Not sure buddy as I haven’t yet tested the VRS Someone in the comments said they are very similar in feel

[@Thunderdome19108]

Hey brother As I wrote to you a few days ago, I'm planning on coming back to the sim world but I'm reading more about simcube 2 pro and simagic ultimate and p100, vrs... I don't know what to choose. You are a great role model and I trust your judgment. What would you decide on hardware with your current knowledge? Kind regards, keep it up 👍👍

[@chepilevski]

Whatever you choose you won’t go wrong buddy as they are all very close in action! I found myself using more and more the Simagic Alpha Ultimate as i like the quick release mount and some of there wheels but from FFB is just like the other bases in the settings I prefer! From pedals, there are so many choices is crazy! I believe the P1000 are the pedals of the year particularly with the haptic motors but ones those motors now can be attached to other pedals, you can choose whatever you want and just add somehow one motor at least to the brake! As I’ve said, just choose something which I s pleasant to your eye and don’t think too much about it as those high end products are really good!

[@itzForTureHD]

i am thinking of buying these pedals or the simagic p1000, which one of the pedals would be better?

[@chepilevski]

Both are great and the P1000 are bit better in my opinion but those bit cheaper 🤛

[@jaytoppo1670]

stunning!!

[@acf1376]

Having a Heusinkveld Sprint, which pedal set would you say is a good upgrade that may improve performance?

[@chepilevski]

Hey buddy, to improve your performance in my opinion the best way is to attach one Simagic haptic motor on your brake which will help you enormously for cars with ABS. There are many pedals out which feels better then the sprints but is hard to say if the will improve your times on track! My favorite pedals are The Simagic P1000 with haptic motors, Imsim Talento, and those here but in all I put the haptic motor which helps my performance a lot 🤛

[@rissmau11]

What about p2000 with haptic motors?

[@Shibben-SC]

Hey RBM, I know you have shown off a lot of different DD bases and like a lot of them. If you were me, only buying one to cry once.... What DD base would you choose? Moza, Simucube, or Simagic? Edit: SC2 Pro, Moza R21 V2, or Simagic Alpha Ultimate

[@chepilevski]

Sold my Simucube 2 pro and stick with the Simagic Alpha U for few reasons! It is not better then the rest in feeling and they all are can give me exactly what I need but with the Simagic I have better QR system, better extension mod, I can use some incredible Simagic wheels and have more options for attachment on my rig! From pure FFB , they all do exactly what I need buddy 🤛

Hey buddy, I haven’t tested the Conspit pedals and don’t have opinion about them. Hope at some point I can give you clear answer but for now I can’t compare them .

[@pkundrat]

I havent tested those either, but what disturbs me a bit is that almost all hydraulic pedals still use elastomers as a compression material - which IMO still keeps all the downsides of elastomers (i.e. fading and wear over time).

Spring is spring, a concept that has never existed in braking system, only in throttle, so having a spring in the brake shows at least diletant approach to the matter. CNC metals around spring is not much of an impression nowdays.
