Simucube pedals are way more important then we think

The Passive Simucube throttle pedal is not bad at all but can't be compared to the Active pedals which will change the future of sim racing and this tech needs our support!

[@ryuw2701]

I built a DIY brake version of these for around $350-400. It is a awesome pedal and I could never go back to a normal loadcell pedal. Being able to adjust the pedal through software and setup ABS or TC is awesome and easy. The one I made uses Simhub for the software which almost everyone should be using IMO. I wouldn't spend $2300 for one pedal and would wait for others to copy the idea for a cheaper option or build one DIY. I'm now in the middle of building a throttle also and have thought of making a guide for others.

[@SynchroFPS]

do you have any blog or post about how you build them?

It will I’m sure

Great Video man! I really like the push to support this amazing company. You have made an amazing impact on my life. In one video your videos you said, If you are passionate about something you will find away to make it happen. Well I did! Thank you! About to get my Simu cube upgrades very soon. My only question is how do you get your GoPro to not overheat. I film at GoPro12 blk 4k, 30fps, hdr off, hybersooth on. Anyways thanks again for the amazing videos and the amazing influence you have been.

[@chepilevski]

Happy to hear you are enjoying it on max buddy 💪😃 The GoPro’s are overheating indeed and I have a fan blowing my head directly which keeps it just enough to not overheat before drying the battery at 5.3k 60fps I can film like 10-15min maximum with one battery

Imagine what SimuCube will have for us in 5-10 years! Agree with what you say about those who can afford are pushing that innovation. Appreciate your insight here, reiterates my reasoning for dropping so much on new “gaming” gear.

Absolutely 💪 I can wait to see the future.

Great video and presentation 👍 Pushing sim racing forward

[@chepilevski]

It is crazy how far we have gone in all those years man 🙈

[@SerialDriver]

I have one active and the normal throttle since last August... it wad hard on my bank account at first... but after almost a year I can't go back. The easiness of adjustments and the natural feeling are unbeatable. Abs effect is only the icing on the cake. Hopefully it will become cheaper at some point to allow more people to experience it.

[@chepilevski]

Yes bro, it can hurt badly but is nice to see it worth the sacrifice for you 🤛 It really is next level experience in every possible way 😃

[@izieky]

How has it helped your lap times since august?

[@SerialDriver]

@@izieky hard to give you a precise answer about laptime improvement. But it definitely helps. It provides so much confidence and regularity

[@buddy5088]

Wish they were cheaper. My wife would kill me if I purchased these pedals. Maybe someday. Still trying to save up to pull the trigger on a Simucube pro. Kids are a priority right now. ❤

[@chepilevski]

I’m sure it will be the case one day and that tech will be the new standard but we must definitely prioritize things in life and keep the hobby in reasonable budget and think what we can afford and not. Stay safe and family always in first place 🤛

[@mannyfresh7065]

I ended up getting 2 pedals and love them. Your review helped me decide on getting them. Now w the damper out I’m debating if I should go back to 1 passive throttle but honestly I can’t give up the ease of adjustments w 2 active pedals! I’m spoiled now lol

[@chepilevski]

Spoiled is so well said 😁

[@simracingden]

Well said 100% agree

[@mannyfresh7065]

I hear the damper is really good where some ppl even went back from active to passive. I myself love the adjustability way too much to give it up lol

[@chepilevski]

I’m with you buddy, I think I don’t want to give up on that luxury too 😁 Must order that kit and give it a go to see if it makes the difference I expect 🤛

[@bokomassine8124]

hi from Russia! you a great professional! Good luck buddy!

[@chepilevski]

Thanks BRAT 🤛 Have a great weekend buddy 🍻

[@RiddleTime]

If anyone rocks a playstation 5 controller, you can try it out with ACC (using Race Element and DSX). It will add brake pressure as well as TC and ABS to the triggers.

[@chepilevski]

That’s cool man 😃

[@RiddleTime]

@@chepilevski I mainly use the controller to develop Race Element as my wheel is broken. So I this really helps me to be more consistent, being able to trail brake and probably just feel more of the car. You know just set a lap to have some good test data :D (then again a controller is a controller and the thumbjoystick does not have feedback). To be honest, having used the T300 GT RS pedals(just springs).. I feel more on the controller, just the throw of those triggers is quite small. It's all about having fun!

[@mrGTRspec]

I would love to have the active brake pedal. .if Simicube had a clutch pedal that is not a active Pedal I am ready to give one of my organs for the kit.

[@finsimracer4944]

Brooo! I was planning to use some of my annual salery bonus and summer holiday money in end of June to buy Active Pedal+Passive Throttle and pedalplate combo but now watching your video puts me to think that should i get also Active Throttle. I think watching your videos is very expensive :D That cooled seat, now two passive pedals. Plese dont test anything expensive soon :D

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I actually agree now, I didn't realize how good they wrre. What I find funny is everyone used to go ahh I want 0 travel now we see things that have a bit of travel are nice for trail braking. But these are on another level that's for sure lol. I will say I love these pedals but I don't need to active ffb on them. It's cool but it's reslly not needed not until it's filled in to let us know mot keep on vibrating it's to much at times imo. Because the signals in the brain get distracted. But I believe the feel the travel the readings everything on these pedals are amazing either way. Worth it just for the way it's built and works.

[@chepilevski]

Next level indeed 🙈

[@LeoDavidson]

Do these let you change the pedal mapping/role in software? As in, could you have clutch, brake, throttle pedals for some cars, then load a different software profile and have brake, clutch, throttle (or brake, unmapped, throttle; the middle pedal wouldn't actually be used in that mode)? Being able to do that would make the price a little easier to swallow, as physically swapping brake/clutch is such a pain normally that we end up compromising between the two driving styles. Having the brake pedal too far to the right can hurt my left knee at times when I'm doing left-foot braking, but I want to keep the option of using a clutch and right-foot braking as well.

[@chepilevski]

That is possible and is one way I use them as I have same knee problem when brake is too much to the left! Swapping function in software between pedals and mapping is just few clicks and every pedal can function as we wish at any point 🤛

[@LeoDavidson]

@@chepilevski Thanks! That is great to learn. And also potentially very damaging to my bank account. Haha.

Hey Chepi! The damper kit was announced couple of weeks ago. Maybe you can ask for a unit to review the throttle with/wo the damper. PS: Man you should have a Netflix tv show, love your scripts 🫶🏻

Hugs brother 🍻

[@mannyfresh7065]

Also w SC software support who knows what other features they can introduce via software alone!

[@chepilevski]

I believe that’s only the beginning too! Those guys are gods when talking about software development 😃

[@snippidippi]

Pedals for 5000€ is only for pro players or pro drivers in training but simucube has proven that this is the next level of pedals and in the future (probably a near one) we will se this kind of pedals from moza, famatec and others for like 500-1000€ instead and then normal people can enjoy this as well

[@chepilevski]

That’s how tech evolves always and I in the same prediction as you’ve said buddy! I personally believe even SC team will bring lower spec model with better price 🤛

[@Anothersimracer666]

Haha maybe if they were reasonably priced they would get support 🤣 Awesome video tho, keep up the great work

[@kason9194]

I am fortunate that I can afford these and I am willing to pay. But my game is GT7 and these are not compatible 😢. I hope Logitech/thrustmaster/fanatek are working on this.

[@jasons4745]

Excellent video as always, if possible could you please do a video with the he throttle and clutch with active brake in the simicube pedal tray, I already have a set of sprints so helps the entry $ a little

[@chepilevski]

Hey man, that won’t be a problem even if you just use your HE as separate unit with there own software and run one active pedal for brake! It will take just one extra USB port and that’s all! That will probably be the most affordable way too 🤛

[@jasons4745]

@@chepilevski I am sure you already know this but simicube make an connector so you can adjust the HE pedals in the simicube software plus simicube sell brackets to ensure the HE pedals mount perfectly in the simucube pedal tray, I don’t another KZbinr has shown this setup

[@chepilevski]

@@jasons4745 ah yes, I know that but what I mean is, it won’t be problem at all to just use the HE or any other pedals with there native software and one active which will save you cash from the connector.

is the throttle better than on the simagic p2000? if yes that is impressive tbh

What game are you playing there on the nordschleife?

[@chepilevski]

That was on Automobilista 2 buddy but very unusual mix as I was driving RX car against GT3 and BMW M1 😁

[@alecmillea4539]

These are so impressive and I’m so glad simucube made them. I understand the amount of R&D that went into making these must have been enormous and they want a return on their investment. I can’t help but feel like they would make the money back quicker if these were $1000 per pedal as opposed to $2500. It would bring them into the realm of affordability to buy at least one for the brake pedal. At the current price point you can basically only afford them if you are rich enough to be a real racing driver. If they were $1000 instead of $2500 they would sell 10x more and make the R&D money back faster than at this ridiculous price point. They are very high quality and nicely made but they can’t cost more than $500 each to make in time and materials.

[@chepilevski]

I’m sure that will happen soon with another model 💪

[@alecmillea4539]

@@chepilevski hopefully it will man! Even if they had to reduce the max load to 80kg to make the price $1000 it would be so much more viable to so many of us!

Maybe that’s great idea for the guys indeed 💪

[@grandadssimracing]

These pedals are far far to expensive, what % of sim racers can afford this mad price 2 in 100 maybe, just get the P1000 pedals with haptics!

Most of us won’t be able to afford or justify the price, that’s for sure but one day there will be more affordable models with that tech I’m sure 💪
