Thrustmaster T LCM - Load Cell Pedal Set - Adjustments, Calibration and Installation

[@NWA_1919]

This is legit an amazing pedal set. Going from the t-3pa to the t-lcm has made a huge impact on my performance, and enjoyment. And the price wasn't bad imo.

[@mrquickogaming]

That’s the exact move I’m considering doing too!

[@tabtab9929]

Thanks for the video. I have a question, the default value of clutch and gas is 0.2 on your video. On my pedals, only the clutch have not 0 value, this is jumping between 0.2 to 0.4. This is normal, or i should contact to support? I saw video of other peoples, and they dont have this issue.

[@Brian-cb3ce]

I think the t3pa pro are better imo. These pedals have no brake pedal travel. 0 to 100% in 1 inch distance wtf. How you guys fixed this?

[@FXCartel]

​@@Brian-cb3cedid you calibrate on computer to your preference??

[@Brian-cb3ce]

[@LOWkenshin]

Just got my TM-T-LCM pedals in a week ago and man what a difference. Waaaaaay more consistent with my braking and literally shaved seconds off my lap times. Thrustmaster hit it out of the park with these for sure. I'm still driving with a Logitech MOMO wheel all set up on a NLR-Wheel stand DD. Nothing moves.

[@andrejespersen8634]

I got mine today :) and I went from Schumacher to a blind man racing and trying to break lol. It´s a massive change from cheap setup, the break is soooo stiv and I get why. Just very hard to get use to.

[@dbehr27]

A couple weeks ago I saw just 1 set of these on Amazon, used. The description of its condition was poorly written and was discouraging, but were selling for only $135. I took a chance on them. And... the box was a little messed up but the pedals looked new. Love the pedals! What a deal! Yes!!! Great video, not too long and I learned a few things. Thanks. Liked and subbed.

[@thebanat]

Super helpful. Mine arrive tomorrow!

[@cannyfocus]

Very informative, finally someone mentions the resolution (16 Bit) of the T LCM Pedal set. About the totally free to adjust deadzone option it is nice to hear too.

[@ericcline9146]

The way you swap out the springs is cool..quick and easy..if I hadn't already converted my t3pa pros to hydraulic I'd prob get these

[@MichaelBolten727]

does your Mod for the T3pa feel good? Or still could improve?

[@matteusmaximus]

quick note on the spacers: those aren't meant to be 'corresponding' holes per se. The 2 sets of holes on pedal stalk determine pedal height, the 2 sets of holes on the spacers give you finer adjustment to the angle. so lower hole set makes the pedal slightly more vertical. You can also flip either spacer upside down for incremental changes the other way. Between upper/lower threading, spacer choice/orientation, you have something like 9 options for pedal angle.

[@cordaveast]

I needed this, thank you!

[@trZomB]

This was a big help for calibrating the brake pedal after switching out springs, thanks Shaun

[@LeweMan]

Thanks a lot for the video! I was trying to find out if I could use the pedals without the TM hub and I'm glad that you mentioned that they came with an USB cable to use on pc, really helpful! :D

[@silverdance2]

Great video, I will be trying your setup. I watched another video and used the red on red with all washers and spring between. Just too stiff and hard work and took the fun out of the driving. So hoping your setup will make a difference. Cheers

[@Ankhrea]

Thank you so much for this video! I just got my pedals today and had no clue what I was looking at. I knew they could be customizes but didn't have an idea how to disassemble the brake or what these blocks were for

[@_BuddyLee]

thanks. I look forward to using your tips as soon as my pedals arrive

[@t-niemi5359]

I have myself GTTrack Cockpit (the next level racing), T500RS wheel and T3PA-Pro (means t500rs original pedals), TH8A H-Shifter and a Sparco TSS handbrake. I thought Thrustmaster was releasing new pedals for adjustment with Gas and Clutch. They could invest for pedals which have inside very hardcore chassis and which will be activated / direct stimulated with a software. The forces. Even the each pedals. But at the moment Im loving my own one kind of setup right know.

[@t-niemi5359]

Also the Pedal's mounting - the drills under the pedals Should Be As They Were - or even better. But in my case I wish they perfect only for the GTTrack. Thank you public visibility for a customer.

Great review. I got my pedals this weekend but couldn't get them comfortable till I found this review. Apparently I like less travel. White spring on bottom red on top.

[@joeschmoe5009]

With the white on top red on bottom, is it soft to start then tougher once you press it further? Im looking to get these and was wondering which setup i should start with, i think id like softest to start then tougher to finish

[@traviseastough2675]

The first thing I found with these pedals is that if you don't have a rig or some way of bolting them down, they tip over when you use the brake. Just something to think about if you are getting these, you are going to have to engineer something.

[@Toolace]

That’s what I’m figuring out the hard way right now. Any suggestions? I play on carpet, but I’m moving to college dorm soon so I can’t do any huge rig or anything that’ll permanently damage the carpet.

[@letrface_8596]

So I ended up using the other Springs the black and white one I screwed my other my gas spring into the black one kind of mended them together and use that for more tension I did the same thing with the clutch I use the initial Silver Spring and then screwed the white spring near the bottom of it and it gives it more tension try it out

[@TheSeanyJC]

Just bought these and par the instructions it claims with xbox you need both cables plugged in? The USB into the xbox and the other cable into the wheel base

[@jedi-mic]

Well you don't need to use the 5 wash you could use one two or three to give it more of adjustment. I was wondering can you swap the silver spring for the White spring ? It should work it will put it under tension. I was wondering how do they read the force is it a potentiometer or optical?

[@luigipatane4965]

So to have a braking at 100% of the power, you have to adjust the brake pedal so that the load cell (green bar) is the (purple bar) at our maximum pressure both reach 100%?

[@ranakirti]

TLCM , Brakeforce Settings help. Hi, I have set Brakeforce at 0 on tlcm. But i still find it too hard to get desired braking. i would prefer for it to be easier than 0 to get 100% braking. Is there a way to reduce this below 0 or change any other setting, so i have to press the brake with lesser pressure/force to get up to 100% braking....? Thanks.

[@MDUK80sRacer]

When calibrating my brake is showing an input of 1.5 before even touching it. Is there a way to fix it. I have adjusted the deadzone to 5.0 so it doesn’t register immediately when I rest my foot on the brake will this have fixed it.

[@lesyoung7644]

[@TheDabbinDave]

Shawn I’m struggling!!! In GT7, I’m am WAY over braking. Currently using black & Red springs with zero top dead zone, and 85%. Last night I was gray & black a 75% with 5 top dead zone. The problem has not improved. The in game calibration tool in Options showed that I was reaching for break at about 80% of the travel. My antilock brake is turned on what it usually is Default. Thrustmaster has not been very helpful with this. The only thing they can do is point you to the manual, which does not give you a natural description or troubleshooting for certain conditions, we may be experiencing while breaking. If you’d like to see exactly what I’m talking about, check out my live stream from today. It’s rather frustrating. This should’ve been a simple, two races in one hour that turned into a nightmare. That template, the center hall of the template. It worked on was off by 1/4 inch 😆

I'll give you $200 for these. They are sold out everywhere and I just got my Trumpchange lol

[@mick1114]

I’ve just bought the Thrustmaster t-lcm pedals and the calibration software isn’t opening properly, it’s very small and the writing is all crossed with each other so can’t make it out, any ideas??

[@DynamicRacingSim]

The only thing I hate is how the brake is so loose like it dangles and makes noise it doesn’t stay stiff locked in place like the gas and clutch pedals

[@rDanny]

Are the mount holes similar to the G27 pedals? Would be fitting them to the original gt omega pro rig. I don't see it been a problem just curious

[@StudioDaVeed]

Just through the springs... FANTASTIC; best I have seen for how the spring combos work. My T-LCMs are on the way. I chose these over the ClubSport V3 for several reasons but LOVE the quick spring sets swap factor. The V3 was more of a surgical process; these are lightening faster. I am primarily an oval asphalt guy that will focus on all three NASCAR series this upcoming year of 2021. I can see that I may want different spring rates for each car/truck. What would you suggest as a start for the spring combo for the NASCAR series? THANKS! Dave

[@SOfilmable]

are you satisfied with your tlcm vs V3 ? waiting for my tlcm and coming from Clubsport v1

[@StudioDaVeed]

@SOfilmable They have performed rather well over the last year I really like the adjustability on them both with the Springs and with the software where you can add dead zones and adjust the force and pressure on brakes.

What should i do when i break hard either left feet or right feet the pedals lift up where i rest my feet on that silver plate thing where the thrustmaster logo is?

[@kemalkurtoglu1224]

Hello, I have a T300RS Gt edition wheel along with T-LCM pedals. I use the pedals with the Usb cable, so they are connected to the computer separately. Until today, my pedals were working just fine with the calibration tool. But when I opened the calibration tool today, I realised that the pedals were no longer working. I checked all softwares including the software of the wheel, deleted and re-installed them but nothing worked. I even connected the pedals to the wheel to see if it works, but it didn't. Later, I asked some of my friends who use the same pedals. One of my friends have the exact same problem and he also has a T300RS Gt edition wheel. 2 of my other friends had no issues. I asked one of them to send me the calibration tool that he uses, and when I opened it I realised that the versions are different though it is the same .exe file. His tool is version 2.00, and everything is working fine. Mine is 1.82, and the pedal doesn't work, and the serial number of my pedal is not correctly written on the bottom left of the tool. His software also has the serial number written correctly. Previously, my serial number was also visible on the bottom left, and apparently that has also disappeared. Right now, the pedals are not working and I am not able to use it, neither does my friend with the same wheel. How can this problem be fixed? I am sending two pictures to show you the previous state of the tool and the current one. Previously (when it was working without issues) : i.hizliresim.com/AqmGSt.jpg Current: i.hizliresim.com/rbyWYH.png

[@TBolt1]

[edit] Nevermind - the calibration tool and springs make a huge difference.[/edit] Just received my T-LCM pedals. I have to lay them flat on the floor, and I'm disappointed how light the front apparently is ... under heavy breaking with the out-of-the-box configuration, the entire set moves. I guess I'm going to have to use the softest springs or find some weights to hold this pedal set down. Any advice is appreciated.

Because the important thing here is not the distance traveled, but the weight you will apply to the pedal. Therefore, the important thing in loadcell is to have a hard spring. You can have a look at Fanatec v3. They sell extra dampers to harden the brake spring. Just use the red bows for 1 week and you will realize it feels better. So I switched from g27 pedal to t-lcm

I pre ordered these pedals and I have never used load cells before. Do you still need to calibrate the pedals within IRacing? Or does the Thrustmaster software calibration override the sim software?

[@thijsazerty692]

I've been using these for 2-3 weeks and it looks like the TM calibration is on the hardware itself ('in the firmware'), so if you set some deadzone in the TM calibration, and also set your deadzone in a racing game, it will add extra deadzone on top of the deadzone that is already been set in the TM calibration tool. (the only way to calibrate it with the TM software is when connected with the usb cable)
