Reviewing the Cheapest Load Cell Pedals: Thrustmaster T-LCM

[@ChrisVmovie]

I bought this pedalset the day they came out. I race between 10 to 16 hours a week. The feel of the pedals are way better than the standard T3pa , and not only the brake pedal. The throttle is also better to control. Within a week i was improving my lap times and more consistent than before. Unfortunately after a year they started to mail function, the service was great and a got a completely new set. And with a close inspection, I could see improvement on small details with the first batch set that I had. Personally I think Thrustmaster is a decent product with a slow response in service, but they do fix or replace it properly. I hope they scale up there quality control, because to much bad samples still end up in the shop.

[@OCRacing]

I appreciate your comment! Find it hard to disagree although I’m yet to experience any issue with my Thrustmaster gear

[@ChrisVmovie]

@@OCRacing as I see it, Thrustmaster has a big market share. So of course the will have more complaints in total numbers, but we can’t see the percentage numbers. I personally have been unlucky with my Thrustmaster gear. Within 1,5 years I had 1 repairs and 2 replacement on my T300 and 1 replacement on the T-LCM pedals. So what I want to say is: if you have a good sample, it’s working great! But if you have a bad sample, go to the customer service and they will fix it. But keep in mind, they aren’t going to solve it quickly. It can take up to 2 to 4 weeks in Europe.

I wish the gas pedal was harder

[@CarnivoreRenegade]

@@mrj3217 can't you just get a bigger/stronger spring and make the gas pedal harder? Go to a hardware store and find one. Hope this helps

I used these pedals for almost 3 years, 15hrs or so per week. Ordered brake elastomer mod also and the feel was absolutely amazing. Then sold it and bought Asetek Invicta. My lap times with Invicta improved of course but not that much. The improvement was insane actually when I compare it to my first pedals, which were logitech g29. I usually play ACC and I can say I was doing high 17s on Spa with these and with Invicta ım doing mid 17s. Could be an indicator for some people. Hope it helps.

[@TylerCrimmin]

These suckers seem to be quite a way from the cheapest anymore with even fanatec pedals coming in cheaper, Wondering if you could do an udpated "Cheapest load cell pedal" Video?

[@BurkhartOfficial]

Great review man! I think I'm gonna save up a bit more and go straight for something like Heusinkfeld's as I really don't like the look of that flex, but I'm sure a lot of people won't mind and it's definitely an awesome piece of gear for people looking to upgrade to on a budget, keep up the good work!

[@OCRacing]

Thanks for the comment Scott! I’m excited your channel has been gaining considerable traction recently 😁

[@macht4turbo]

The slight amount of flex does not really matter to me, i don't feel it. My pedalplate does flex a bit as well, as it is made out of wood and a steel bar. In driving i don't notice it, mind you, most qr systems do flex as well and you wouldn't notice that either. Side to side movement is more like something you see, when you play around with the pedals, but thats not the direction of force you apply anyway. If you want to go to something higher end than this pedal set, i would highly recommend to take a look at the simforge mark-1, simracinggarage has a review of these up and they look amazing for around 333$, half the price of heusinkveld sprint. If i would ever want something more adjustable than the t lcm, i would look into them.

[@MaC111]

You said everything to me xD "... if you currently have a logitech G29 and want upgrade the pedals you can use these with it". God, I kinda hate the G29 pedals because I need to clean the potentiometer every week. I already broke the plastic thread where the screws go because of the cleanings

[@wearefamilyhomeschoolers4924]

[@BorisNoiseChannel]

Hi there; I realize this video is from a year ago, but hope you can answer my question anyway; I'm thinking about getting myself a DD steering base from Moza (the R5 or R9), and was wondering if these pedals I've got (the ones you reviewed here) could be connected (as well as working as intended) to it? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@OCRacing]

They’ll work if you plug them into your PC via usb!

[@BorisNoiseChannel]

@@OCRacing Okay then; Thanks! One more question if I may: Do you know if there's a huge difference between Moza's R5 and R9? (the webshop I'm planning to buy from got the R5 in stock, while the R9 has a waiting time of 3 weeks. My racing skills are at the slow side of average). Thx.)

[@Chuggnuts]

I loved them, until they developed issues. The brake will constantly come loose, then potentially jam and break something if not tightened. Doesn't sound too bad, just keep them tightened... except the bolt you need to tighten is UNDER the pedals, which means taking them off your rig to tighten them pretty much every use, which for me also means moving the rig as it's up against a wall and it's impossible to get to the pedals due the TV being behind the wheelbase. Feel great, cannot recommend due to being completely impractical.

[@failedmeteor6172]

What is the difference between tlcm and t3pa pro except the materials?

[@BENGYBOY77]

pretty sure t3pa pro are potentiometer pedals and t lcm´s have a load cell and magnetic hall effect sensors for the gas and clutch

[@vlavaroa1450]

are those compatible with t300 for ps4???

[@wanabdulhadi1268]

Yes they are. You can connect them via the ethernet-like cable

[@scottd7222]

Ive been having issues with these which is really crushing my vibes. Sometimes i turn it on and only 50 percent throttle and brake get registered. Takes a little to get it back. Need to turn it on and off a few times and just go through each connection. They all seem fine but eventually it goes back to normal. My other issues is the throttle deadzone. Fully pressed it feels like i can lift like a good 10 percent before it pulls back from 100 percent throttle which makes throttle control a little harder imo.

[@Me-0063]

Have you been using the calibration software?

[@wake99]

u gotta download the calibration software my friend

[@mbz4652]

​@@wake99Is the calibration easy to do? Do you have to connect it to pc? Does the calibration work with a laptop? I'm new to this

[@wake99]

@@mbz4652 should work with a laptop, just plug in ur pedals and install the program and it has sliders for you to adjust all your deadzones and stuff, then once u unplug your pedals plug it back in to ensure the settings saved and ur good to go

[@willisshadden7142]

whats the difference between these and the new T3PM other than build materials???

[@Kweyy]

Load cell, way better feeling on the pedal, especially the brake pedal, way harder and precise

[@ivana6141]

The only thing stopping me getting one of these is the basic clutch feel.

[@dahe8883]

Now move the clutch spring to the gas, and for the brake, stack a red spring over some rubber spacers separated by washers. Now, you are next level.

[@mbz4652]

The red spring is the spring for the brake already in it? So you just have to buy the rubber spacers with the washers? Is the 6mm rubber spacer good?

[@DOC187able]

[@terrycorkum]

Thanks.

[@CJ-uh8bk]

Honestly these seem very good for the price but in all honesty I think the Fanatec DSL pedals with the loadcell kit are better but it depends on what kind of feel you want, both good, down to personal preference

Could I use these pedals with something like a thrust master t80?

[@itsJPhere]

If you have a PC and connect them via USB, you can use them with any wheel. Not sure if that's possible on console, you probably need a compatible wheel you can connect them to. But do not buy a wheel without proper force feedback.

[@isaacbenson1631]

Why would you do this?? Get a t150 at least before even worrying about pedal upgrades lmao

Great review as always! Great to hear it's plug and play into the PS4 if I'm also using a logi base I have an Australian PS4 but it doesn't have the two USB ports next to each other at the front. Would a standard USB hub with more ports allow a base and shifter to connect including the pedals?

[@lexx348]

You can't use Logi base and T-LCM on PS4, as on consoles need to be connected to the wheelbase. The only way around is to buy a DriveHub device.

are the pedals compatible with a logitech g29 wheel on ps4?
