Another customer for these pedals here! I have noticed that there are also better copy's of the Heusinkveld's which are slightly more expensive. They look more similar and have the better elastomers. But I went with these because everyone is so enthusiastic about them. By Te way, I really like your, in my opinion, low-profile without bells and whistles kind of approach to your reviews. It keeps me somewhat grounded to not spend too much to this hobby (life style) 😅

Great review! I agree on the brake setup being quite sloppy. We've developed a kit to address this and are in the final stages testing. The kit has a new spring and some elastomers which make it feel a lot better. We'd be happy to send out a kit if you want to try it!
Hey Rob, that sounds great, I'd love to check out your kit and run out a video. If you still have my details from before, it's the same address, otherwise fire me at email at contact@simracingcorner.com.
@@SimRacingCorner should have them somewhere! Once we've put the final touches on the kit we'll get one sent out. Hopefully can do it this side of Christmas!
I've been using SIM jacks for about 3 years now. Freejoy is great until it isn't and then it's a nightmare. Diview all the way. Or if you're lazy you can actually just calibrate these in windows and be done. Elastomers please treat yourself into changing them, the Huesinkveld ones are ok but a tad expensive for what you actually get. A couple of years of abuse and they're definitely feeling it now, time for me to do the bearing mods. Other than that for the price they're great pedals. on a side note if you ask the seller if they can do anything about import tax usually they're quite helpful and will change the price in the parcel. So no import fees. Win win
How do you go with replacement elastomers, and where have you sourced them? I'm having issues with the brake pedal in my Moza CRP, I've just split my third medium damper - this one only lasted 8 days of barely any racing! Moza are sending out replacements (again) but it would be great to find an alternate source for a more robust formulation
I run these. Using a valve spring from a boss 302 coyote v8 and orange independant truck bushings on the brake. Replaced the bushings with 8x14mm flanged bearing with 6mm i.d 8mm o.d bearing sleeves centered in them to not have to use washers or spacers. I had to solder a ground wire to the control box as with my csl dd i got quite a bit or RFI
I would consider Ghost Sim Racing Phantom SP5-PRO pedals. They are rebranded SimJacks from a North American based company. They plan to include upgraded elastomers and spring in every kit along with other optional mods.
$250 for those, are there any reviews of them online somewhere? I haven’t searched super hard, but I can’t find anything. Seems almost too good to be trye
That's interesting. Looking at the images on their website, right now it just looks like rebranded Sim Jack hardware with no changes, they even sell the Sim Jack shifters and the handbrake.
@@SimRacingCorner they just opened their website again. They claim their version comes with upgraded bearings and an elastomer and spring kit. $300 now.
@@JesseGebauer I can only assess it from the current pictures they display, and they don't look different, but of course they not be up-to-date images. Also, buying the SimJack pedals, and modding the bearings/elastomers would still be the cheaper option by some margin.
I have a set of these. Went from an old set of Fanatec CSR Elite pedals. I have almost no side to side play so got a good build. Other than that, what you've put here is exactly my experience and expectations. Going to try the bushings.
for users who would like to use a better pedal box, the simruito (black box) works perfectly with this pedals, the software is more pleasant and the calibration is done automatically in a single click.
I purchased a set with dampers on all 3 pedals I find they feel fine with them, but I have not removed them to compare. The only other change I have made is to limit the brake pedal travel using the orange bushing like you mentioned for the throttle.
Happy with the Simjack pro too. I added the Heusinkveld ultimate+ control box from the upgrade kit and now I can even switch profiles on the fly with Heusinkveld software!
@antoine78150 The Heusinkveld ultimate+ control box does it have the same connectors as the Simjack cables or do you have to fit new connectors ? cheers.
got the Simonn Pedals..another HE Clone...and did the HE ultimate + upgrade too....on mine you have to use DiView and that sucks...wouldnt ever use a pedal that uses that Software again..
I bought these as well. Worked fine at the beginning, but once mounted to my rig (which is isolated from ground due to rubber wheels), there was extreme interference with my Fanatec CSL DD. Whenever both were connected, you could see the raw data jumping around like crazy while turning the wheel. Looks like the Simjack Controller is not grounded correctly, there’s also a free soldering space on the motherboard for that. My solution ist simple but inelegant: I removed the Mainboard from the housing and taped it to the baseplate of my Paddels, so that the soldering pins have contact with it. That fixed the problem for me.
I recently had someone tell him on UA-cam that the SimJack UT pedals can be calibrated through the Simagic software if they're plugged into the Simagic pedal box. I would love to test this at some point.
Great review, love your channel and work. Quick note, I got mine a couple of months ago now and there is zero lateral play. Not sure if this is something they were aware of and have since rectified.
Thanks very much! That's good to hear, It's definitely possible they've made improvements. A while back I reviewed the Sim Jack sequential shifter, there were a couple of minor things I highlighted, and they've fixed those since then.
Super vidéo 👍 sa serait pas mal de voir la vidéo pour serrer les pedal pour ne plus avoir de mouvement 🙏👍 faut il mettre de la graisse si ou quel type ?
Hey mate nice video 👌 i bought the pedals myself and i couldn't be more happy. like yourself i have swapped the stock spring with an elastomer and i'm liking the result a lot. there is one question i would like to ask you since i've seen it around min 11:28. basically using freejoy i can see the the pedal signal pick up is not smooth and it'll sometime freeze input for a few seconds.. also, after a few times i write config to devices like when i'm fine tuning the pedals input pedals will brick and then the only solution is to write back the original config file and the restart calibration again..long story short i've switched to diview and none of these problems are there. what is your experience with freejoy ? i'd like to go back and try it again to be honest. Also i think the ability to mod these pedals is what will get guys like me into these pedals. you can do almost whatever you like with these and modding imo is part of the hobby. eager to read you
FreeJoy does show a delay registering the pedal input as you describe, but that doesn't affect the pedal in any way outside FreeJoy once you've written to the hardware. So it's not transferred to any games if that's what you're concerned about.
I was told by basically EVERYONE that a Cockpit that can handle every upgrade will save me the most money & time in the long run, but after that, pedals are my first upgrade. I have a simple setup, NEXT LEVEL Racing Cockpit, with G29 Wheel, H shifter, and Pedals. Edit: Watched you @ 7:09 Blip the Throttle a few times so I could try that lol.. Ive seen guys doing it and haven't really seen their feet yet, that feels TERRIBLE Awkward so far for me, I hope I can someday make that not feel so foreign.
hey mate thanks for the video...im kinda interested in giving the pedals a go...how much extra for tax/customs did you have to pay to have delivered to the uk? keep up the good work
I got the ruito pedals instead as I could get a way better deal. Does anyone have experience with them? They look identical to the sim jacks, so I guess they feel similar. Though, they “only” have a 130 kg load cell, will that be enough?
I haven't used the LC pedals, so I can't answer that with any authority. The LC pedals seem to be highly praised in reviews, so seem very capable. The SimJacks are very adjustable, which I would suggest is the main advantages these have over those the Fanatec pedals.
@@SimRacingCorner I currently have a GT Omega Apex wheelstand, would I need a pedal baseplate to attach these simjack 2-pedal set with 2 hydraulics? Or is it possible to directly bolt the pedals on the wheelstand baseplate?
I own fanatec v3 pedal do you think sim jack pro is better? I'm having all the damper kit and performance kit install, if I move to sim Jack Pro is I'm going to see improvement or should I just stick to what I have
I recently bought this pedal sets but I feel like the brake is way too hard, it might be because I'm still new (my legs muscle 😆) but heck even my car's brake is not this hard? Should I get used to it or just loosen it in some way. It's like I have to p-uuush hard just to get the end of the brake when I calibrate it. I wonder if you have a guide on it? Thanks
All you need to do is push less force into the brake pedal during the calibration, set the threshold lower to what you want it to be. It can be as little or as much are you require to be comfortable.
@@SimRacingCorner I ordered some 88A hardness ones on Amazon and it completely transforms the way the brake pedal feels. It feels so much better now! Thanks for the help 😁
I have a question for you about pedals. You have used a large number of pedals over the years, what pedals are the quietest you have used. I currently have a set of csr elite pedals, but when I go full throttle or clutch very quickly there is a loud thud, and likewise when dumping those pedals. So I kind of in the market for a different set of pedals that won't wake people up at night. I guess it would also be good to mention that the budget would need to be between £200-300
Pedal noise will always transfer into the rig, that's unavoidable. The least noisy pedals I've used are the Logitech G Pro's. They're not silent, but they're pretty quiet, with rubber end stops that absorb some of the impact. And the pedal base is plastic, so that helps too. ua-cam.com/video/meisjJfUUds/v-deo.html
