Been watching for the last 2 years and been saving for ages to upgrade from my logitech g920, and just ordered these. Thanks to Will and his awesome reviews I am confident that I am getting the right product for myself. Just not sure what wheelbase yet though 👌
Definitely agree. I appreciate Will's method of review more than any other channel. It's very objective and extremely thorough. The SJP pedals are the only "high-end" pedals in my price range, and I've got to know just how good or bad they are for the price.
VNM pedals having bearings on all the moving parts would make them silky smooth with no play compared to brass bushings on the simjacks. But for the price simjacks are very good if you are prepared to do a bit of tinkering to get them right, also I have heard the supplied elastomers are not great.
I have the Sim Jack pedals and I LOVE them. They are such good bang for your buck but I'd also love to see Boosted Media review them to see how they compare.
you can tell way of the difference between a 24 bit and 16 for bit there are more resolution when you’re pushing on the gas pedal so if you barely push on the gas bill on it in real life you’re barely pushing the gas bill and game that means when you do hill toe kick their more precise
So I just got a set of these from Sim-Motion and received a different pedal plate. This plate mounted the heel plate lower, so it doesn't raise it like you were complaining about. Much better I feel. Weird thing is, nothing states that I should have received different ones and I see no documentation of them changing them or pictures showing a new style.
Good pedals and all, but with simagic p1000 you can get the haptic motors, which non of these pedals have you mentioned. I dont find the reason to go anything else because of it
You can add a bass shaker to the pedal tray or puck to any pedal TBH and it appears rumble mounts / motors are being developed if you don't already have a haptic setup on yor rig.
@@mgerim Sim3d offer kits for no less than 35 pedal sets and the concept is the same - no meaningful benefit of an integrated manufacturer solution as the telemetry is always coming from the sim itself and converted into vibration - Simhub has been around for years and is extremely customisable. Enjoy your P1000s however - Simagic make amazing products which I use too.
👍👍Will. Im coming into this video off of watching Gamers Nexus tremendous call out the huge Linus Media group on their errors, lack of ethics and unprofessional behaviour. I hope this can be a lesson to all youtube reviewers out there who just want to pump out content without regard for quality. I stopped watching them a while back because i thot it was getting a little too "show-man"y and snake oil salesman but this Nexus video just exposed them big time. Keep up the great work Will
OK watched it. I've always respected Linus and his approach to how he handles sponsorships and his transparency, etc. However I must admit have had my concerns recently about the sheer volume of content necessary, and other potential sacrifices to core values that may be necessary to sustain a business as large as LMG has become, so it was certainly interesting. We've been at a point recently where I have to make a decision as to whether we take on more staff to increase production capacity, or start saying no even more than we already are in order to keep overheads low and retain an intimate involvement with every bit of content we produce. This cements my decision to keep things small and release videos when they are ready rather than making sacrifices to pump content out. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out as I know Linus has expressed a lot of respect for Steve publicly in the past, which means he can't jsut dismiss this. Thanks again for pointing this out. Not how I expected to be spending my afternoon but this is important stuff!
Hey @boostedmedia great stuff, i'm contemplating the idea of getting these instead of the Moza CRP. Do you know what are the main differences between these and the Lite version?
@@boostedmedia Thanks, do you happen to know what was included in this kit? Perhaps I can identify it by sight when looking at the currently selling products. Thanks so much for the reply :)
Great video detailed as usual. This is why your channel is one of the best. I was wondering if you would know if an HDMI 2.1 120hz splitter would work well with triple monitors on a PS5? I have seen a few devices about online and is the only way I can think of to get that triple screen immersion from sim racing without the expense of a high end PC. Your thoughts and any details would be appreciated. Thanks again for the content great stuff all the best from Scotland.
@boostedmedia , After almost buying the VRS pedals you come and review these VNM and saying these are even better? Although they come with elastomers instead of the more reliable springs? I'm really confused now Will.. 😕
I think these feel a little better with the dampers but there’s very little in it and I do think the VRS is probably the more reliable design. You’ll be happy with either choice.
@@vnmsimulation4673 oh really? the two threaded holes on the back of the upper pedal arm? - interesting! I have Dayton shakers under my VNM heel plate which work well but a brake pedal mounted rumble motor would be nice too
Been waiting for this review for awhile. I have the VNM shifter and handbrake and love it more than anything else on my rig. So was excited to hear they were making pedals but wanted to wait for your view on it. So glad you did get around to it. Thanks Will!!
I have had the shifter, handbrake and pedals for about a year and a half now and I sincerely cannot recommend these products enough. An amazing and consistent performance since day one, also insane how much you can configure these to your liking. S/o to the amazing community they have in their discord as well, always willing to help out even during very crazy hours.
Great review. Regarding the heel plate - we got our NZ stock made so the heel plate can be mounted at base level. As the original design was way too high.
Hey will have had mine for close to a year now not running a damper kit or upgrade kit either. Have had no issues with the elastomer as of yet touch wood. Love my vnm pedals and shifter and recommend them to all looking for some new gear. Even see barry mannon above comment hes fantastic to deal with
Hi Will, thanks for the good work and enthusiasm behind it. Just mounted my set of VNM pedals yesterday with the performance and dampener kit and I love it. Never heard of these before I saw your video. Its amazing how these pedals feel and look (coming from CSL with loadcell and mods).
Aside from the review itself... I wonder how long in various applications (here in the pedal configuration program) the 3.5-inch floppy disk icon will be used as a symbol for saving settings, etc.? In fact, for many young people such a floppy disk is something completely unknown now ... an artifact from ancient times :)
Well, we still have a return key. I just pressed it. Comes from the carriage return lever on old typewriters which moved the paper up one line & back over to the right so you could start typing the next line.
Im really surprised ive not seen a review from you guys on the Simtrecs pedals. Ive neem running tbr simtrecs and reslly have found them to be incredible and really curious how they compare to these. Ive tried the HE ultimates and the sintrecs are definitely better imo. If i had a second pedal set if shio my sintrecs to uou to try. Lol
@@charlesgutscher1923 Exactly. I bought them based on his review. I'm also a sucker for incredible packaging/craftsmanship and have the mentality of 'buy once, cry once' :) If I HAD to nitpick at anything, it would be great if Simtrecs offered a dark black look like these pedals.
Regarding elastomer blow outs… i have had my Sprints since 2019. Those elastomers just blew out earlier this year. I do a lot of rally so i bang the hell out of them. I wouldnt be too concerned with elastomers blowing out. These pedals are actually on my radar for upgrading since im starting to max out the sprints brake pedal. Iv been looking at them for about a year.
I got this pedal set with the heel plate and I am sooooo happy with it. It's just a slightly friendlier version of the VRS, imo. Enough adjustment without being a pain in the ass to adjust and the build quality is EXCELLENT.
Great review. you're making me want to buy another set of pedals, but I'm wondering why you never reviewed the Meca EVO1 pedals. I saw you did the Cup 1 pedals a couple of years ago but the EVO1 are a great improvement and fit right in line with this category of pedal sets. I'd be curious to know where it falls in line for you compared to these and others like it.
@@gadpettersson9173 It's so strange how few reviews there are! Especially for how popular the cup1's were. So far I have only tried the pedals with the hydraulic brake and I'm not the biggest fan because the pressure is so stiff and doesn't have that initial uptake that Boosted talks about, which I like as well. I am planning on getting the LC brake because it has an integrated spring with the polymers similar to this VNM set. I ultimately decided on the Meca's because I like the design of the pedals and cup concept for the polymers, plus they are relatively cheap for the quality of build which I can assure you is excellent.
Thanks Will! Now you threw another curve ball at me trying to pick my new pedals😂. In all seriousness, im coming from the csl elite V1 load cell. I have been looking at ultimate plus, sprints, asetek, and simagic p1000 and 2000. I need help deciding
Do these peddles fit the same mounting bolt pattern as Huesinkveld pedals? I built a custom mounting plate to fit my Sprints and hoping they will be swappable. Thanks,
Ended up buying these pedals off the review they are absolutely perfect for me i got the hydraulic dampers on them with a soft initial travel to medium stiff final travel and its just wonderful. one thing i will note on rigs like mine (nlr fgt elite even with big feet you do need the baseplate. Would love to see a review of there 32nm dd base
Been using VNM's shifter for quite sometime and i love it! i expect the same level of quality and love they put into this pedal, hope i can get it in the future. Thanks as always Will!
Has anyone tried to run these pedals on the NLR Wheel Stand 2.0? Wondering if the VNM pedal tray would be able to attach to the base plate on the wheel stand.
I've had these pedals for about 6 months. I did not get any of the extras, just a 3 pedal set. I love the aesthetics and large faceplates on these. The pedals are a bit tall for my rig, so I had to raise my feet up to get more leverage on the pedal face. I blew out/split the brake elastomer in the first few weeks of owning them, but only because I was seeing how hard I could press on the brake and apparently I found the limit lol... But I haven't done anything to repair it since then and it's working just fine. There is a faint "squeaking" sensation in the brake if you play close attention, as the broken elastomer rubs against itself. The throttle has excessive throw... I wish I could move the bump stop even further to reduce the throttle throw, because at full throttle the pedal is like 3inches past the brake pedal, which results in some lower back/knee pain. I fixed this by having the brake mounted slightly behind the throttle so the distance to the pedals isn't so much of an offset between my two legs. The clutch pedal can be a pain in the ass to make adjustments to because it involves so many screws and washers. Once you get them dialed in, they are awesome to use.
@@jonfrderick I haven't tried the sprints. If I were to buy pedals again, I'd look at simagic pedals with the haptic feedback motor. I like their rounded pedal face too. The VNM pedals are nice but they're not perfect.
Great review! I run the VNM Shifter, Handbrake and pedals and have to say I love the design and reliability hasn't been an issue at all. I also have the damper kit installed.
Been using these pedals for about a year now and I highly recommend them. I paid about $650 plus 50 for the brake upgrade kit which I would also highly recommend. The stock brake kit is way too soft. I have size 12 US feet and use the heel plate as well, as without it I felt the pedals were too tall.
Question about the softest brake setup: I have a playseat evolution rig for the time being, which has a fair bit of flex. I plan to upgrade to a more rigid rig down the road, but in the meantime, would I be able to work with these pedals in the short term? I like the idea of pedals I can grow into as I upgrade my rig.
Is there any chance you could PLEASE compare the fully upgraded versions of this and the P1000 with hydrolic brake and throttle kits? I know that the Simagic haptics can be attached to both (with a small adapter purchase for the VNM), so it can be ignored for comparative purposes. To me that is the ultimate test of the best under $1000 pedal set. If you don't think a full video would be compelling to enough people, Id love to hear your thoughts. The one thing I know is that the damper kit on the VNM is mechanical and not hydrolic, but not sure how much that will actually matter. I'm waiting build my sim rig until I know the direction to go on this :)
@@braidenrahn2534😂 I went completely different direction and went simagic P1000 and alpha U wheelbase with the fx c rim. Since then the neo gt wheel came out which I would have went with that instead. Simagic is great, had it since October 2023, zero issues 👍
I got these pedals few weeks ago. They are really nice set of pedals. I made the decision to get them thanks to this video, because this is nicely detailed video and the pedals looked good. And now that i've used them, they are amazing and i'm super happy. I got them from a sale and with very good price so it's a massive win. My previous pedals weren't that special and i always felt a bit uncomfortable with them, but with these i was instantly feeling so much better and it even improved my driving because i feel more confident and i can be more consistent.
Resolution level is kinda ridiculous, a human body naturally has physiological tremor and many others noisy movements especially in a tense static state, 2k evenly distributed points on 20cm line gives 0.1 mm distance between them, I think any resolutions higher 10-12 bits are marketing, it is also hard to believe that real car will behave differently if you apply 70% and then 70.01% of break in the same situation.
Had mine since December. Love them. Excited to watch this review. I will say, for the clutch I could never get the second stage to happen sooner. The vertical holes dont seem to be very useful in that regard. I ended up setting the software around the clutch point of the pedal and that worked ok.
I had the same issue with the clutch.. and got tired of trying to adjust it with the 3 screws and washers on either side. So I just left it near default and calibrated bit point in software...
Are you going to do a review of the Simagic P1000? I've had my Invictas for 18 months and just dont get on with them, so looking for alternatives. These VNM look like a good option.... the P1000 being another
I wonder how long it'll take for companies to finally abandon elastomers. Its the Achilles heel of everything on the market. There's no such thing as an elastomer that won't require replacement and an elastomer that can transfer force without damping and delay
The two vendors listed in the description are charging a full 100 dollars more than the price listed in the video. Without context, it just looks like a blatant price gouge
Could anyone with this kit please provide the measurements of the take up springs? Curious if these will fit my factory spring on my Simtrecs pro which is too flimsy. Thanks
Hope you get a review unit from the P1 Sim Mistral. Tested them at the ADAC expo and they felt really good with rumble motors neatly integrated into the pedal arm
That's a very tough question as I'd honeestly be happy with either. I think I'm leaning to these very slightly though simply as I like the feel of the damper kit (which VRS has discontinued for their pedals), and I prefer the sleek black design. Ultimately there isn't a bad choice between the two as far as I'm concerned.
Bought a set of these, great set of pedals and the software is fantastic. However the adjustment process is an absolute pain, it lets them down as dialling in the correct combo with the brake performance kit was such a slow process compared to my old Sprints.
Owning their shifter and HB I'm not surprised the pedals are good too. As for best presentation explanation and build quality and performance my Simtrecs ProPedal GT are un matched. I was on Sprints before and find the dampers on my Simtrecs actually one of the best things on them so if the dampers on the VNM do the same job I recommend getting the option. One thing I will say VNM have terrible documentation and the software is weird. I still to this day don't know how to update the software 😂 but it works I only use ld it once for my HB and never opened it again
@benclimo461 best pedals I've ever had the chance to try or own up to date. The tuning is endless and being able to change the strength of the potentiometer on demand is amazing. It depends how much you want to spend and if you'll use all the tuning. I drive rally gt formula and anything in between so to be able to switch my pressures on demand is valuable to me.
I love mine, i've had them since december 2022, they are built like a tank, no squeeks or rattles, everything is super smooth. I got them initially without the brake upgrade kit because they were out of stock but i bought it recently and it is worth getting them together if you are buying these, this way you can really finetune the brake because it's super stiff out of the box, one thing i wish was better is more adjustability of the pedal plates because of my crappy rig the angle of them isn't the best but that is a problem specific to me and will be "fixed" once i get a proper 80/20 cockpit, i checked my cables and all of them have heat shrink on them so your set propably wasn't picked up during qc, i would recommend these over heusinkveld sprints, i paid 902 CAD$ with taxes for a set of 3 pedals with 200kg loadcell, meanwhile a set of 2 Heusinkveld 100kg loadcell (gas and brake) is 899 CAD$ before tax so i'd say VNM are much better value.
I've been holding off buying new pedals for a while because I'm just not sure which way to go. I have Titan Exodus pedals, which I'm pretty sure are a knock-off of another brand. I've really had my eye on the Simagic pedals, since I have the Alpha base. But there's a few pedals around that price and I just can't pull the pin on anything atm. These reviews are great but always make it tougher!
Been watching for the last 2 years and been saving for ages to upgrade from my logitech g920, and just ordered these. Thanks to Will and his awesome reviews I am confident that I am getting the right product for myself. Just not sure what wheelbase yet though 👌
Every time I think I know what I want in pedals Boosted Media comes out with a new video and my mind changes.
Between the options we discussed in this video you really can’t go wrong. You’d be happy with any of them.
As always, great review Will. These pedals seem pretty awesome. Would love a comparison with the Simagic P1000 pedals with haptic feedback.
back this!
I would also like a comparison.
fyi you can stick simagic haptics on these with $20 mounts
I would love to see you review the simjack pro aliexpress pedals to see how cheap ‘high-end’ pedals compare to more expensive branded products
Definitely agree. I appreciate Will's method of review more than any other channel. It's very objective and extremely thorough. The SJP pedals are the only "high-end" pedals in my price range, and I've got to know just how good or bad they are for the price.
Supposedly they are the best pedals for the price, even better than fanatec V3s and HE sprints
Man if he did this, what would be even more dope is a follow up mod video on how to make them better
VNM pedals having bearings on all the moving parts would make them silky smooth with no play compared to brass bushings on the simjacks. But for the price simjacks are very good if you are prepared to do a bit of tinkering to get them right, also I have heard the supplied elastomers are not great.
I have the Sim Jack pedals and I LOVE them. They are such good bang for your buck but I'd also love to see Boosted Media review them to see how they compare.
I would also recommend the Simgrade VX-PRO pedals they are sweet pedals. Great price and no elastomers to deal with either.
Never ceases to amaze me how sophisticated the technology is for something that doesn't go anyware, goodnes knows whats inside the real cars. 😮

Hey will wondering if your going to be making a video on the new turn dash
Outstanding review will 👍💪 is there any chance getting your hands on the vmn lights? would really appreciate a comparison
Can you do a review on the new GSI Hyper P1?
Great review :) would love to have a comparison between this and the Simlab XP1 (same price range)
simagic P1000 is some new pedals that is like simucube's but much cheaper than 6k
Really hope you get back on terms with simagic so u can start reviewing some of their awesome gear thats available
Has anyone tried to run these pedals on the NLR Wheel Stand 2.0? Wondering if the VNM pedal tray would be able to attach to the base plate on the wheel stand.
I've had these pedals for about 6 months. I did not get any of the extras, just a 3 pedal set. I love the aesthetics and large faceplates on these. The pedals are a bit tall for my rig, so I had to raise my feet up to get more leverage on the pedal face. I blew out/split the brake elastomer in the first few weeks of owning them, but only because I was seeing how hard I could press on the brake and apparently I found the limit lol... But I haven't done anything to repair it since then and it's working just fine. There is a faint "squeaking" sensation in the brake if you play close attention, as the broken elastomer rubs against itself. The throttle has excessive throw... I wish I could move the bump stop even further to reduce the throttle throw, because at full throttle the pedal is like 3inches past the brake pedal, which results in some lower back/knee pain. I fixed this by having the brake mounted slightly behind the throttle so the distance to the pedals isn't so much of an offset between my two legs. The clutch pedal can be a pain in the ass to make adjustments to because it involves so many screws and washers. Once you get them dialed in, they are awesome to use.
would you recommend the sprints over these?
@@jonfrderick I haven't tried the sprints. If I were to buy pedals again, I'd look at simagic pedals with the haptic feedback motor. I like their rounded pedal face too. The VNM pedals are nice but they're not perfect.

Great review! I run the VNM Shifter, Handbrake and pedals and have to say I love the design and reliability hasn't been an issue at all. I also have the damper kit installed.
Great review! Thanks from France!
Been using these pedals for about a year now and I highly recommend them. I paid about $650 plus 50 for the brake upgrade kit which I would also highly recommend. The stock brake kit is way too soft. I have size 12 US feet and use the heel plate as well, as without it I felt the pedals were too tall.
Thanks for the precision regarding the heel plate. Just ordered them and was wondering whether the plate would be necessary. Same foot size
I was using my toes too much, now I'm pressing with the balls of my feet. Great purchase! You will be happy with them. Enjoy!@@javacupracing
Question about the softest brake setup: I have a playseat evolution rig for the time being, which has a fair bit of flex.
I plan to upgrade to a more rigid rig down the road, but in the meantime, would I be able to work with these pedals in the short term? I like the idea of pedals I can grow into as I upgrade my rig.
You can swap one of the white elastomer on the brake pedal with a spring that comes included with the pedals to make it slightly softer
@@slobry Thanks 👍
Is there any chance you could PLEASE compare the fully upgraded versions of this and the P1000 with hydrolic brake and throttle kits? I know that the Simagic haptics can be attached to both (with a small adapter purchase for the VNM), so it can be ignored for comparative purposes. To me that is the ultimate test of the best under $1000 pedal set.
If you don't think a full video would be compelling to enough people, Id love to hear your thoughts. The one thing I know is that the damper kit on the VNM is mechanical and not hydrolic, but not sure how much that will actually matter. I'm waiting build my sim rig until I know the direction to go on this :)
Do you like these better than ultimate plus pedals? I’m between the two sets
what did you choose im in same boat at the moment
@@braidenrahn2534😂 I went completely different direction and went simagic P1000 and alpha U wheelbase with the fx c rim. Since then the neo gt wheel came out which I would have went with that instead. Simagic is great, had it since October 2023, zero issues 👍
I got these pedals few weeks ago. They are really nice set of pedals. I made the decision to get them thanks to this video, because this is nicely detailed video and the pedals looked good. And now that i've used them, they are amazing and i'm super happy. I got them from a sale and with very good price so it's a massive win. My previous pedals weren't that special and i always felt a bit uncomfortable with them, but with these i was instantly feeling so much better and it even improved my driving because i feel more confident and i can be more consistent.
Please review the simagic p1000s❤
Hey Will... are you going to be checking out the new VNM dd base?
Resolution level is kinda ridiculous, a human body naturally has physiological tremor and many others noisy movements especially in a tense static state, 2k evenly distributed points on 20cm line gives 0.1 mm distance between them, I think any resolutions higher 10-12 bits are marketing, it is also hard to believe that real car will behave differently if you apply 70% and then 70.01% of break in the same situation.
Had mine since December. Love them. Excited to watch this review.
I will say, for the clutch I could never get the second stage to happen sooner. The vertical holes dont seem to be very useful in that regard. I ended up setting the software around the clutch point of the pedal and that worked ok.
I had the same issue with the clutch.. and got tired of trying to adjust it with the 3 screws and washers on either side. So I just left it near default and calibrated bit point in software...
@@quinnseitz1377 yea it looks very adjustable but when trying all of those holes. The clutch mechanism doesn’t even work if you go too far down.
Are you going to do a review of the Simagic P1000?
I've had my Invictas for 18 months and just dont get on with them, so looking for alternatives. These VNM look like a good option.... the P1000 being another
VNM lite on the list? would be really interesting to see how they compare, being 200 euro's cheaper.
If SJP is gonna be reviewed, hopefully alongside Cammus LC100 too. Budget price, pro-feature review pls.
Great vid Will. I have 2 of these QR and both disconnect and connect frequently. Are having any issues with your QR?
I was completely dead seat on going with the simforge mk-1's for the past 6 months...and right as I'm about to buy I have to see this video. 🤬
I wonder how long it'll take for companies to finally abandon elastomers. Its the Achilles heel of everything on the market. There's no such thing as an elastomer that won't require replacement and an elastomer that can transfer force without damping and delay
gotta love the forced synonym to avoid saying "I like it very very hard" while looking at the camera @7:58
The two vendors listed in the description are charging a full 100 dollars more than the price listed in the video. Without context, it just looks like a blatant price gouge
Could anyone with this kit please provide the measurements of the take up springs? Curious if these will fit my factory spring on my Simtrecs pro which is too flimsy. Thanks
Hope you get a review unit from the P1 Sim Mistral. Tested them at the ADAC expo and they felt really good with rumble motors neatly integrated into the pedal arm
These or Simagic P2000? I only need 2 pedals, making the Simagic a little cheaper.
There is no point of buying pedals without force feedback (if you can afford them of course.)
will you do the review for the VNM extreme 32nm wheelbase?
Yep it’s in the queue.
@@boostedmedia Awesome!!
If you had to choose between these and the vrs as your only set of pedals which one would you choose? Great video!
That's a very tough question as I'd honeestly be happy with either. I think I'm leaning to these very slightly though simply as I like the feel of the damper kit (which VRS has discontinued for their pedals), and I prefer the sleek black design.
Ultimately there isn't a bad choice between the two as far as I'm concerned.
@@boostedmedia how often should a elastomer stack be replaced so that it stays I consistent? Thanks!
Which would you recommend between these and Si magic p-1000i?
Bought a set of these, great set of pedals and the software is fantastic.
However the adjustment process is an absolute pain, it lets them down as dialling in the correct combo with the brake performance kit was such a slow process compared to my old Sprints.
Can you share the link to your video about setting up load cell pedals for the first time? Thanks!
I would love to see P1000 review with the rumble motors. All these other pedals do not provide that function so do not really appeal to me.
Would it be possible to install the damper for the brake the other direction? It would help out, being able to adjust them up front.
"I didn't expect this" must be an algorithm trigger on UA-caml😂
I have the asetek invicta but i feel like i dont improve. Will a other pedal set inprove my performance?😊
Expensive but compared to the rest of the bunch, price / performance, they are reasonably priced IMO
Would love to know the feeling vs Moza... Really feel even their high end metals are MEH at best.
Owning their shifter and HB I'm not surprised the pedals are good too. As for best presentation explanation and build quality and performance my Simtrecs ProPedal GT are un matched. I was on Sprints before and find the dampers on my Simtrecs actually one of the best things on them so if the dampers on the VNM do the same job I recommend getting the option.
One thing I will say VNM have terrible documentation and the software is weird. I still to this day don't know how to update the software 😂 but it works I only use ld it once for my HB and never opened it again
i will improve them all in future :).
@vnmsimulation4673 I'm sure you will I had an issue with my shifter and you guys got me sorted really fast so the service is also very good.
@@taxi615 thank you :)
I've been tempted by the simtrecs, how do you find them comparing against some of the other pedals you may have tested?
@benclimo461 best pedals I've ever had the chance to try or own up to date. The tuning is endless and being able to change the strength of the potentiometer on demand is amazing. It depends how much you want to spend and if you'll use all the tuning. I drive rally gt formula and anything in between so to be able to switch my pressures on demand is valuable to me.
I love mine, i've had them since december 2022, they are built like a tank, no squeeks or rattles, everything is super smooth. I got them initially without the brake upgrade kit because they were out of stock but i bought it recently and it is worth getting them together if you are buying these, this way you can really finetune the brake because it's super stiff out of the box, one thing i wish was better is more adjustability of the pedal plates because of my crappy rig the angle of them isn't the best but that is a problem specific to me and will be "fixed" once i get a proper 80/20 cockpit, i checked my cables and all of them have heat shrink on them so your set propably wasn't picked up during qc, i would recommend these over heusinkveld sprints, i paid 902 CAD$ with taxes for a set of 3 pedals with 200kg loadcell, meanwhile a set of 2 Heusinkveld 100kg loadcell (gas and brake) is 899 CAD$ before tax so i'd say VNM are much better value.
I just checked my VNM pedal set and the little heat shield is only on the brake pedal as well.
I've been holding off buying new pedals for a while because I'm just not sure which way to go. I have Titan Exodus pedals, which I'm pretty sure are a knock-off of another brand. I've really had my eye on the Simagic pedals, since I have the Alpha base. But there's a few pedals around that price and I just can't pull the pin on anything atm. These reviews are great but always make it tougher!
