I bought this about the same time as he reviewed the product. I am retired and drive several hours every day. The product is still working as good as day 1. It really uses a "Hall Effect" because it is basically a steel rod going in and out of an electromagnet. I have mine inverted in G27 pedals and I love it. It is still very stiff.

I have only owned a g920 brake set. Dump the original brake, swap the springs around. It’s great. If you have the money buy a bettter set up. If you’re on a budget like me, this is soo worth it.

Bought it and love it. One thing i recommend is that you buy the optional spring kits. I found that the 100% spring was too stiff, very hard on the door and could not get a good feel, switched to 60% and so much better. Now I may go to the 80% to see how that does. Great product.

I have the same Next Level Racing DD Wheel Stand, I used a second pedal plate from previous rig it has a 90 degree angle and I bolted them together. I used an adaptor from G27 pedals to my TM T500 wheel base. I had to cut the grounds since I pulled the assemblies from the plastic case and grounded it thru the metal to metal contact. It is in the instructions for mounting your pedals to the DD Wheel Stand. His uses the connection away from the wheel base. Just something to keep in mind.

Subbed! I absolutely love your videos! Your style is more like I'm watching a real automotive installation/ review, which is great cause tech KZbinrs often leave a lot of questions on the table. Also, a question- Should I go for the Logitech G29? It's way cheaper and the only difference I'm aware of is the loadcell simulator on the newer sets, which is pointless if I plan on doing this mod. Also I hear the new pedals have a weird exponential curve in the brake pedal.

I almost sent you a message a few days ago asking if a review was on your radar for this mod. Thanks for giving it the SRG treatment. I've been tempted to pull the trigger on this for the past month regardless and now I'm even closer. But. What I'd really like is some feedback from you or others who like me use a GTeye spring with the Bodnar cable and if this is a big enough improvement over that to justify the upgrade. Looks like it's about $74 USD at the moment with shipping.

There has been a lot of hate on this mod, mostly because of the way it is marketed. Despite that, once you use it you realise it is an excellent mod which is much cheaper than but the equal of a load-cell mod for the Logitech pedals. Yes, it won't be as good as pedals designed for load-cells but it is pitched perfectly for the Logitech pedals. However, if you do not have any pedals as yet, it is not economically smart to buy the Logitech pedals and the TrueBrake mod together. It will be cheaper and ultimately much better to buy one of the various entry-level load-cell pedal sets available from Fanatec in 2022 on. So, if you are on a budget and do not expect to buy more kit, get the TB. If you are starting from scratch, look at a different wheel and pedal combination.

Your videos are absolutely the greatest! I'm very new to the sim community. I have a cousin that's been paraplegic since he was 16, hes 26 now I believe. Cant use his legs. I just recently visited his state for a death in the family. He showed me his racing wheel and pedals. I then watched him play Iracing stuff and seen how he was having to use his hand on the pedals while steering with the other hand and felt terrible because hes really into racing. The wheels with analog paddles seem super expensive. Being handicapped, he struggles financially and hes recently started a family. I'm trying to build him a sim rig. I was really wanting to do a 2DOF with traction loss using aluminum extrusion after looking into everything heavily. I'm not wealthy either lol. I've realized it might be out of reach for me to do for him. Everything seems pretty expensive. But I REALLY want to make his sim dreams happen. Can anyone point me in the right direction on a build thats 2dof with traction loss that isnt going to cost more than 1.5 grand? Its going to take me long enough to learn actuators and servos. I'm getting overwhelmed lol. Any help would be super appreciated. I am in other communities online but I cant really find anything for what I'm looking for.

On the "incom" patameters" for steering wheel and pedals in DirtRally 2.0, you can see how signals for brake and throttle are "leaking" even when they are not used. Which makes the throttle/engine hack😢!??! If I step on the brake quickly, the knocking stops for a minute or so, but comes back soon! The steering wheel and pedals are only 4 months old! Have you heard of this problem? Today I have "deadzoon" 10 on the brake and 6 on the gas!??? To be able to drive at all! I have modified both the steering wheel to 14" and the pedals (uses the clutch for the handbrake) so it is not possible to advertise them! Ask 2 Does bypassing the pedals, bypassing the steering wheel on the Ps5 help too? mvh Lucas Sweden

Would you say these are more a hybrid? neither a load cell or potentiometer ! Also switching bumpers could be time consuming until you've found the one that suits you but looks like a good alternative solution to more expensive LCs.

T-lcm has hall sensor clutch and pedals compared to g29 cheap pots, double the resolution, actual loadcell brake eith much more adjustability, better construction etc... no contest really. This makes sense for people on console.

No way a small company that makes a modification for an already inferior product is going to be able to compete with a technically superior product by a mega company. Just how it is. The price is too high for what it is it to be justifiable on pc when you can just change your pedal set to TM and use USB, can't do that on console.

This mod is absolutely worth it. I’ve had these modded for 2 years. The best set up for these pedals is as follows: - AXC Truebrake mod - AXC potentiometer upgrade kit (throttle only) - Remove pedals from the plastic case and custom mount them on a very sturdy plate. This should get rid of the squeaking From here to really feel an upgrade you will probably have to spend $600+ on a set of real loadcell pedals to really feel like you got an upgrade. For those of us that already have the G920/G29 pedals, AXC mods are impossible to beat for the tiny investment. This is a console racers best option imo.

Great review, I just ordered one. Now I'm wondering if the firmware is still an issue since in the latest Logitech G Hub software are some sensitivity settings that are declared as "linear" in the 50% position. At least its possible for the G923 I own. Also would it be a good idea to put the old brake spring to the clutch and the clutch spring to the gas pedal? I could live with the clutch but imo the gas pedal is too soft...
@sermerlin1
@sermerlin1 Жыл бұрын
Yes. That's great idea. If and when I upgrade to truebrake (or loadcell from richmotech), I will be swapping clutch spring to the gas pedal and old brake spring to the clutch. Gas pedal feels too easy to push I don't feel the pressure of where I'm at.

Anyone using it with a g25 /27 and no Leo bodnar mod? I'm thinking of buying one for my g25 Pedals and I'm curious as to whether the lack of a bigger resolution on the stock logitech interface when compared to the Leo bodnar cable makes much of a difference (as in, it can't read the smaller movements of the TrueBrake's sensor)

Great review. I am a ps4 user. Got some issues with my true brake. On some games we can't calibrate the pedal "in game", main example is ACC. As a result I need to apply a lot of pressure to get to 100%, a lot. It feels I can stand on one feet with the amount of pressure. Afraid i might due some damage to the gear, or to my own knee. Any solution? Don't think so. Already contacted Kunos to see if they get that calibration option that all other games including the original AC have on the ps4. Other than that... it's a great mod.

If you were limited to console which would be a better upgrade Ricmotech or Truebrake? I would invest in CSL Elite pedals but to make it compatible with a G920 it would cost like $100-$200 more.

hello there!! Yesterday, I installed the True Brake into my G923 pedals, but since I have my left ankle injured, it came to stiff, that after only five pedal pushes, my ankle started to hurt, and still do 24hrs later. So I disabled the pedals again and installed the OEM spring, and know even if i push the pedal to the maximum, it only reports 74% in all the games and in G-hub... can you please give some advice. Thanks

@SimRacingGarage Thanks for a great review. Ordered a set. Question about the bodnar cable. I never understood that the cable was useful to bypass the firmware in the G29 and newer wheels that distorted the brake linear input. That said, I have a DFGT with a set of G27 pedals modded to work with it. I intend to use the DFGT wheel in line with the TrueBrake modded G27 pedals. I'm assuming that the firmware in the newer logitech wheels you mentioned doesn't apply to the DFGT? And if it does, then that means I'll need to get the Bodnar cable... right?

The brake curve is applied by FW in the G29/G920 wheelbases. If you run the pedals through the g27 wheelbase you won't need the Bodnar cable. Unless of course you want to run the pedals directly to your PC.

Superb video Barry but being a PS4 user I don't feel like this was geared towards console users who will have to connect the pedals to the steering wheel and it doesn't seem like it's going to work for calibration as well as some games that require you use the brake pedal to reverse. Very nice mod but definitely not for console users
