I had no idea these pedals existed until Will just posted his review. I searched and saw that you reviewed them 4 months prior. I was 80% of the way to purchasing these. I just went and looked, the fact that you are still running these pedals on your personal rig 4 months later sealed the deal for me.

[@davecamm]

Yep, I still think they are the best bang for buck pedals out there right now 👍

[@angryginger791]

It is crazy how many awesome options sim racers have these days and how much prices have come down. Several years ago, I remember talking about how the growth of the industry and the competition in the marketplace would be good for all of us. And here we are. The quality of our gear has increased considerably while the prices have been cut in half or better. Thanks, capitalism!

Thank you, now I ordered it because I trust your opinion. In Germany we get it for 490€. I wanted the VRS pedals before but I like very much the design and the simple engineering on this pedals. Thanks for your review!

I have the T-LCMs too and looking for an upgrade. Did you get yours yet?

[@pmattarazzo]

@@christopher_hopperI just got them last night. Took only 1 week to get to the states. They are everything Dave described in video. There’s so many adjustments on them compared to the T-LCMs it might take a while for me to dial them into my liking. But right out of the box they’re amazing. I also got clutch at same time. Definitely will take some getting used to with that compared to T-LCM clutch. One little quirk I did run into was with Racedirector software. My antivirus (Bitdefender) did not like that program at all. Quarantined it right away and deleted it on restart of computer. It does mention that on their website because software is so new. I have dual boot windows 10/11. Was able to get it to work on 10 cause I just have defender on that OS.

[@rickthomas9894]

Hi Dave! Thanks for sharing thoughts on these Sim-Lab XP1's. I've been using Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedal set for 4 years. I'm cautious about the, "new and better", hype that goes along with gear and try to get the most out of my existing. Pedal set choices have had me a bit dazed and confused for awhile. I just may have to do the upgrade for these. Addendum: I just placed the order for Sim-Lab XP1 Pedal Set. Thanks for bringing these to our attention! Also...nice socks 🙂

[@MrJMHP]

I always take your reviews into account and it was through them that I bought the Asetek Invicta pedals which I love after having had Heusinkveld Sprints, Ultimate+ and VRS... Invicta for me is where I will stay until one day sensitive and responsive pedals become accessible and the norm.

[@fabianrudde1331]

im am looking to buy a set what sets it appart from these or the ultimate+ ? love to see ur reaction!

[@lukaskliment9646]

What are advantages of Invicta over VRS?

[@MrJMHP]

@@lukaskliment9646 VRS Pedals are very good. One of the best options price/performance on the market. But the Invicta are superior because i like more stiff and short range pedals, It has a better and more solid construction, very easy and fast adjustments and with them my drive performance is better and more consistent, better races. For me they are so acurrate that once calibrated and i change cars without any adjustment( ex: Porsche Cup/GT3/LMDH). I only have to adapt my foot sensitive/pressure. Short/hard range pedals are better for muscle memory.

[@USDefcon1]

I purchased a set tonupgrade my fanatec v3's which customization and feel has been not very easy and I think these will be a sizable upgrade. Well done sim-labs and thanks Dave for the review.

[@kdcustoms1272]

You ever get them? I got v3's now, I'm pretty happy with them. But I'm upgrading everything else, so I might replace them with something and keep the v3's as a backup.

[@USDefcon1]

@@kdcustoms1272 Yes I have been running them for about 6 months. For me huge upgrade in several areas. The biggest one is pressure that I can apply before the sensor maxes out. With the V3's it was super easy with my elephant leg when I'm excited during the race to max out the sensor almost every turn. With these they can be calebrated to where I could stomp on it and never max out the sensor. The trick for me is calibrating it properly so that when I'm in 'amped up' state during the race that I don't constantly max out the pressure so that I can stomp the brake and get 85% braking for example. I was able to do that with these pedals and never with the V3's.

Funny timing, this. Literally last night I was dinkin with my CSL pedals, yet again, thinking "I really need to just buy a proper set of pedals."

[@kdcustoms1272]

You talking about the older csl pedals with the optional load cell? I got them, the load cell worked great especially for the price IMO, but the sensors for the throttle and clutch were garbage. After a few months the plastic teeth for the sensors would wear and I would get input spikes. Had v3's a few years, I been pretty happy with them. But it's time to upgrade, im upgrading everything else😂 so I'll probably get these sim lab pedals and keep v3's for backup😉

Hi Dave, nice video ! I need new pedals and I don’t know wich is the best between he ultimate +, imsim talento or simlab xp1…….what do you think ? Cheers ✌🏼

[@Rene_Bo]

I was looking forward to your words on them Dave. Can they compete with your Heusinkveld Ultimates, since they are going on the rig? :-)

The ultimates are much more adjustable but so they should be at double the price 👍

[@adriantrise493]

Dave, thanks for the review and the brilliant channel. Just about to upgrade from my Fanatec V3s. Stuck between Invicta’s and Ultimate+ and now these! Do you think the multi-elastomer setup on the Ultimate+ adds much over these Simlabs?

In my opinion no. Sure, you have more adjustability on the ultimates, but I had no problem dialing these in super quick 👍

I’ve seen other videos mention about the blue adjuster knob at the bottom of the pedals sometimes presses against the heel, have you had any problems. I see a heel support stand is available.

[@davecamm]

No, no issues. I have felt it with my foot but no issues

[@sugarbagels]

apologies if this has already been addressed - do you see any issue with the pedal angle adjustment being a smooth channel instead of a set of holes like the heusinkvelds? i'd worry that hard braking would cause the nut to slip eventually, and over-tightening would be necessary to prevent that. is the back of the nut textured to ensure a tight lock perhaps?

[@davecamm]

Not at all. Solid as a rock 👍
