Love your videos but You confused me so much now, I was going to go for forte pedals which I can upgrade later to invicta pedals but now? Hmm...would You recommend this vrs over the forte? I'm driving just formula cars Please help 😢
Been using the VRS pedals since the first few production batches (about 2 years) and waited a bit on preorder for them too. I absolutely love them and swear by them. They're like an aluminum profile cockpit but pedals. Universally adjustable and extremely smooth. I can never see myself using another pedal set and don't ever foresee these breaking.
Great review! Agree with everything in this video. Have had my VRS pedals since August 2021 and they are the best pedals I’ve ever had. I’ve had a couple of sets of old Thrustmaster pedals, Fanatec clubsport V1’s, and ProtoSimTech PT1’s and these VRS pedals are just in their own league. Smooth, adjustable, responsive, quiet and so far their reliability has been 100%. No issues whatsoever. And truly great value for money. Keep the great content coming!
@@I_Like__bananas I went from Sprints to VRS pedals as well, and yes they definitely feel different. It really is something else under the foot, to me, pushing hard on the VRS feels more like a "natural" thing than pushing hard on the elastomer based Sprints. The feel of the release of the brake is also a lot different.
@@I_Like__bananas Yes, not rlly TOO MUCH difference when you press but a lot of difference when you release and trail break, VRS are way better, and no rubbers!
I've just bought them because of your review and sold my Heusinkveld Sprint. Thank you sir, however my wife want to talk to you about something and she seems a little pissed, have a nice dayyyyy!
@@S2GUnit It was better, the feeling was more linear and there is plenty of force available on the brake pedal. However, since I change again for the ImSim Talento. I got them for almost 6 months and I can tell you that it will be my last and only pedal set. The brake feeling, the engineering is perfect. I really prefer the Talento over the VRS and they are around the same price
@@Flowracingmotorsport interesting..... I have the Simgrade VX Pro's. Have been using them for 4 months. Still getting them more comfortable however, I was more impressed with my friends VRS pedals when I tried them for a few minutes before buying the VX Pros.
@@S2GUnit THe VRS was good, however I found that the lack a little bit of feeling in the braking progression. I was feeling like I was pressing on a wall. However, with the talento, I don't know how, but I can tell 100% just before I lock up in game only with the brake feeling.
@@Flowracingmotorsport Was about to buy vrs pedals before I saw your comment.. Now im looking into the talentos and they are very interesting. Could you share which settings your using for your setup? I'm on the fence between vrs and talentos now and would really appreciate any info you could share.
I just bought these pedals minus the clutch, and as per usual, I was second-guessing myself, so thanks for making this video as it's helped me feel more confident in my purchese. Now, all I need to worry about is mounting it
Am close to buying a cockpit and a pedal set. Was back and forth between Sprints and Ultimates, but looks llike the answer to the question was actually VRS. Upgrading from G25, DD wheel base will be a little alter int he year. Your videos and reviews have been an excellent way of getting my head around the different technologies and manufacturers available. Hitting the subscribe button a couple of weeks ago has saved me a lot of money already.
You talk about the progression of the pedal on 40:46. Thank you very much for noting it in the video. I spend a lot of my time drifting, and on drifting, the throttle control is probably one of the most important things. So, having a throttle where you can reliably know how much % you're pressing just on muscle memory is very important :)
Literally went to a friend's today to try these and said "there aren't any really good reviews on these anywhere"... And what do you know! Thanks Will, this has sealed the deal.
I have a set of these on the way. I always watch this channel, find items to buy - then re-watch the video while the item is on the way. Its better than an instruction manual!
Agree with this review, I've had these since the beta release and they are outstanding, what's more, the support from VRS is as stellar, they are people who care about their customers well beyond the sale date.
Dammit, all your videos cost me money :) Thanks so much for the indepth review on these, I have been umming and ahhing about these for a while, this helped me make a decision
I was one of the first to get these and they're still as good today as the day I got them. The great thing is that vrs are quick to answer any questions I had
I like their brake pedal pivot a lot, smart way to eliminate the motion ratio change with travel. The brake pedal springs are a nice touch too. I just ordered some springs to replace the elastomers on my HPPs to see how they feel, I’d like to get some simulation of the initial master cylinder cutoff and pad travel before disc contact so it’s cool to see how other pedals approach that
Nice review man, after this review and all the positive feedback from sim nerds running the VRS pedals I have decided to get a set of these to replace my Fanatec V3s that packed in twice with less than 12 months use. Keep the awesome reviews coming 🤘
@@chubbs6504 hey man, I actually ended up with the simagic P1000i kit, primarily because of lead times. I have to say they are beautifully built, just to confuse you further LOL
@@jimmy-the-bear what made you go that route ? I’m in between the VRS and P1000s, I love the customisability, the looks, and everything about the VRS pedals but I’m concerned I don’t see any replacement parts in case something goes wrong, don’t see any spring replacement etc. was thinking of getting the P1000 because the haptic feedback looks awesome but then realised you can also install it in different pedals so not completely sure now. I have a budget of around €700
@@enriquelemus1337 Hey mate, actually ended up with the Simagic P1000i pedals with haptics on the brake pedal. The VRS were out of stock and didn’t have a solid ETA, no complaints about the Simagic pedals though, feel way better than the V3s and you can add hydraulics and haptics as an option…haven’t added hydraulics as yet, doesn’t seem to be a necessary as they already feel great. The haptics on the brake for lock up and abs is awesome. You instinctively release the pedal when it kicks in, it gave me a way more intuitive way of finding the braking limits.
Daily used these pedals for a significant amount of time. They were and still are my favorite set of pedals. However, I'm my use case, they had 1 flaw. No dampers. They are all built with the mounts for them, all their media pictures them, yet they just aren't putting in the effort to get the dampers finished and out for sale due to their team feeling "they are not necessary". Damper for the throttle can make up for the fact that there is very little difference between fully soft and fully stiff on the throttle spring and the throttle not giving quite enough feedback for someone that needs a stiffer throttle pedal. Curious how it will affect the brake, but with all the talk and workarounds on their discord, VRS really needs to have some option springs for the brake. One for in between the blue and red and one stiffer than the red. Found it really not possible to set the brake up to achieve that very stiff, low amount of movement even with the spring compressed with extra preload and the longest the tie rod can go. Due to these very small items, I chose to move to the HE Ultimate plus pedals and have been significantly faster with them. As soon as the dampers and a spring upgrade are available, I will be buying them again. But to be fair, buying a longer tie rod may allow for the feeling I need out of the brake pedal.
I would find it difficult to believe someone complain about never getting the VRS pedal set to feel the way they want. The set is very fiddly, but intentionally so that whatever feel you prefer is there. You just have to spend time tweaking the set. Other sets may lock you in to a feel, e.g. aestek pedals are a short, stiff throw. What if you don't want a short, stiff throw? Well, you're stuck. It takes time but you can find your setup with the VRS. I think the versatility in adjustments is the major advantage to the VRS pedals, but be warned you'll need to invest some time dialing it in. Also, the bolts are helluva tight from the factory. You'll want some long handle hex or ratchet with hex adapters. You can't be disappointed.
Those Talento pedals you reviewed the other day clearly impressed you too. Lots of attention to detail in that design by the looks of it. Enjoyed your video. :)
I run these pedals. They are quite noisy when they hit the stops and the clutch is just terrible. The brake also requires a fair amount of fiddling to get the feel right. That said though, the brake and throttle are amazing. Incredible value for money.
Another great video! I bought these pedals a few months ago and I’m so glad I did. I was always going to get the H Sprints, but alot of people were saying these are really good and compare to the Ultimates but are cheaper. They really are awesome pedals and easily the last set I’ll have on the rig for a long time… which is a good thing but also sad as I love buying new gear 😂
@@boostedmedia Hi will. Just installed it. I messaged at messenger. Hope you’ll will see if you have time. If you cannot see maybe it is in message request. Daryll F. Piedad is the name of the account. Thanks This pertains to VRS pedals
I like to see that you finally get the importance of good throttle feel. I own Sprints, and then Bought the Invicat S line, and I sent the Invictas back, one of the reason was the throttle, it feels absolute cheap and dead, now I have Ultimates and throttle makes me smile again.
I really wish I could try a bunch of different pedal sets before ultimately choosing one. I was really interested in the VRS pedals as I use the steering base and wouldn't mind keeping it in the family so to speak. I ultimately decided on the Meca Sim EVO pedals. I'm still waiting for them, but I'm super excited for them to arrive.
Great review. Seems they are trying to simulate hydraulic brake pedals with the pivot, as the more it rotates the higher the force required for additional pedal travel. Ingenious design. I might start to consider upgrading my Fanatec V3s
They seem like the best option before going for the Heusinkveld Ultimate. I still have my HE Pro pedals from 2017 but a lot of people who I've talked too and have tried and used the sprints were somewhat disappointed despite how much a jump they are versus anything bellow. These VRS pedals basically took the place of the old HE Pros which they opened themselves by not offering them anymore. $780 AUD is a damn good price for just a 2 set of them.
Been using these for a year now. I enjoy these much more than my v3 pedals.I am more than comfortable keeping these on my rig and have no interest in upgrading anytime soon. For the price these are hard to beat!
Some of us do like the 2 stage clutch Will. Can you please try to show the 2 stage in action in your reviews. I was hoping to see that but you just talked about it
@@realVRS yeah, took me a few weeks to get used to having a brake pedal that requires such a high force to actuate (admittedly I used the red spring as recommended in this review) but now I've got the hang of it and feel like I have nice control. Also modded on a simagic haptic reactor
Definitely one of your best reviews I’ve ever seen😁 What I like best in what I’ve noticed compared to previous review vids is the organized format of the vid, especially the conclusions section at the end, more similar to Barry @ SRG. What I liked better than Barry’s vids is you talk about where & how these pedals perform in comparison to other pedals on the market. (Barry would just say if they worked well or not, not if an aspect was better/worse than another pedal)
I'm tempted by these but kind of wish they sold a pedal plate for them. I run a NLR GTelite rig and would need to source a 3rd party plate to mount them.
Hey Will. Great review as always mate. I’m seriously considering these to replace my MECA Cups. Although I love my pedals, I’ve had to replace the spring in the throttle load cell 4 times now. These VRS springs look really sturdy and multiple adjustment points are also really useful. Cheers
Based on this review I think they’re fairly similar to the mecas, I love mine too but thankfully my throttle springs been fine. How long before yours broke?
@@SwordnScale first spring snapped after about 3 months. Then I had more fail in a similar time frame. The guys at MECA were really great and air freighted me extra springs. I also think they have changed the spring material. The current spring was installed back in November 2021.
A handful of influencers have raved about Simagic’s inverted pedals and the real car feel. They also have highly positive things to say about the build quality, adjustable elastomer system, and the FFD. Does anyone have a comparison of Simagic with VRS?
@@boostedmedia I found their brake system totally overengineered. Its just weird to use and adjust, because its not a classic load cell. It also measures the movement instead of pressure. Didnt like that at all. Toolless adjustments was very nice though. But quality of the VRS is just 2 classes higher. For me those fit perfectly. At the end everything is subjective
Was considering new pedals for a while but couldn’t find anything wrong with my v3’s really to upgrade . Anyway off the back of this review I thought they are reasonably priced look great and the outlet was not to far from me in Melbourne. I went to see Julian at VRS today who was very helpful brilliant customer service and after having ago handed my money over. They look better in the flesh very well made and after setting them up on my rig ( bloody update wouldn’t work for ages after about 30 attempts it did and loads of swearing ) I did a few laps at interlagos within 5 laps I was 0.5 seconds quicker than my previous best money well spent . So Buy VRS pedals they are bloody great !!
On my DIY Pedals I came to the same conclusion as the VRS pedals. Spring(s) on the brake just feel better and provide more longevity than elastomers. Hence I am not surprised they are perceived well. The only other pedals I know of that use springs for the brake are the german Nuo Evo1.
Amazing video like always! Can you test the Augury Simulations 121 set of pedals? I think those are the nicest pedals i've ever seen and It will be great to know how they perform
Will be a huge jump in the feel and overall build quality. I went from V3s to the BJ Steel GT Pro and there is alread a HUGE difference. Treshold braking is amazing (never managed to get the V3s to behave like I wanted) and another huge difference is the throttle pedal feel. And with these it should be even better. So I would say go for it
I recently bought a set of these for my new rig and have found the actual pedals not so bad.....BUT the software is ordinary . If you have all 3 pedals, the system will calibrate normally, but after replacing my brake pedal with simucube, it turned to shit. With only 2 pedals in the system, it had major issues. For over $1000 a set, the software should be a whole lot better. On my first rig, I had a set of Heuskinveld Pro Pedals, and would still buy them over these, purely on the software alone. I also found their brake pedals to be better as well, but that's just me.
Hey Will, great review. Have you ever thought of doing a ‘Will Score’ (aka Doug Score)? With all the choices available it can be a little overwhelming trying to compare product A to B, A to C etc… If you had a spreadsheet with various categories rated, it would make comparing pedals more straightforward and easier to make a purchasing decision. Just a thought.
Think I'm going to get a couple of my old Meccano sets out and build me a set of these pedals. Joking aside, I'm very tempted. Just feels strange to strap these to my cheap folding Playseat (Perils of a London flat .... ).
Hi Will, I am looking at options to upgrade my sim setup from the T300. I have checked out your review on the VNM pedals. If you consider the reliability of the elastomers, would you still choose the VNM over the VRS
so should i buy these or he ultimates? maby something else? first sim rig but dont want to upgrade later would rather add stuff instead of upgrade. simucube pedals are to much for me on this one
I have tried only a few pedals. I owned the TCLM's, now I own the Simgrade VX Pros. Before buying my VX's, I tried a friends VRS pedals for about 10-15 minutes & another friend & I were incredibly impressed. I'm still trying to get my Simgrades to where I want, trying different configurations after 3 mths. I barely tried the Ultimate's at a Microcenter, so I can't comment on those but the VRS are best pedals my friends & I have tried.
@boosted Media I'm completely new to sim racing but also went all in in gear and went with the vrs pedals. Currently I'm on the default setup just the red sprint. Which tie rod length u ended up using? Would also like to get a little more travel. Thanks!
Hey Will great video. Question, in your experience, do you find it more beneficial to have the pedal face position at the top or closer to the middle of the pedal?
I am hooked after getting the Moza R5 Bundle. I have returned it and I am ready to invest. I have been looking at Simagic P2000R Pedals, Alpha Ultimate Base, GT Pro Wheel, FX Pro Wheel, DS-8X shifter. My friend that has been into Sim Racing and spent some time in the pit in Nascar suggested the VRS system. I am open for any incite from you all. Thanks in advance.
There’s no compatibility issues. Just means you’ll have to run multiple software packages. Although once calibrated the pedal software doesn’t have to be running anyway.
I just got these pedals and they are great. What I want to know though is what wheel you are using. Looks like one of the new GT Pro Cube Controls had at simexpo but with a twist.
Hey man, I have the p1000i with hydraulic brake as well. For the money I spent with add ons and such I don't feel 100% satisfied either. I get some clicking here and there and I'm not sure how I feel about the brake and throttle since I don't have much to compare it to. Kinda wish I went for the Heusinkveld Ultimates +. What didn't you like about the pedal set?
Nice one guys.. another addition to me dream list! Speaking of which… Are you guys planning on reviewing the PSVR2 and GT7? Early reports appear to be very positive, but won’t believe the hype till you guys have got some time with it 😉
Love how these pedals seem to look and perform. Would love to see a review of the simagic pedals to see how they compare as they are cheaper and hydraulic. Also apparently have the best feeling throttle of any pedal set many have tried.
Simagic is not in the same league as VRS especially when it comes to build quality, but it depends whether you want a actual hydraulic system or a mechanical system that feels like hydraulic
@@barrymanon9459 How exactly are the simagic pedals more of a hobby pedal and not competitive? Just curious as to what objective measure you are referring to?
Great video!! If you had to choose between these and the heusinkveld ultimates which one would you choose? I know they're very similar but which one would you choose?
I'm a fan of inverting pedal mounts....easier to keep my rig clean..... anyone have any ideas or input about this? currently in running the JVB3's with the original pedal faces and just never have cared for the side to side slop in those!

Great review. Seems they are trying to simulate hydraulic brake pedals with the pivot, as the more it rotates the higher the force required for additional pedal travel. Ingenious design. I might start to consider upgrading my Fanatec V3s
The VRS are a huge upgrade to my old V3s.
They seem like the best option before going for the Heusinkveld Ultimate. I still have my HE Pro pedals from 2017 but a lot of people who I've talked too and have tried and used the sprints were somewhat disappointed despite how much a jump they are versus anything bellow. These VRS pedals basically took the place of the old HE Pros which they opened themselves by not offering them anymore. $780 AUD is a damn good price for just a 2 set of them.
Don't waste your money on the HE utilmates, the VRS pedals are better IMO.
They are better
These are the better option when compared to the HE Ultimates! The brake pedal is the biggest differentiator...
Awesome video! Do you like the feel of these more than the invictas? I’m trying to decide what I should go with for ecosystem.
Been using these for a year now. I enjoy these much more than my v3 pedals.I am more than comfortable keeping these on my rig and have no interest in upgrading anytime soon. For the price these are hard to beat!
did you drop your lap times?
@@biturbo skill issue :)
The ideal pedal for the discerning small souled bugman.
Highly recommended. 👏
Some of us do like the 2 stage clutch Will. Can you please try to show the 2 stage in action in your reviews. I was hoping to see that but you just talked about it
Great video Will, ordered throttle and brake today.. Can’t wait to try.
Great timing on the review ! - I was just looking at these vs the HE Sprints
Your review made pre order a set thank you
Bought them on the strength of your review 🤞🤞
And do you like them?
@@realVRS yeah, took me a few weeks to get used to having a brake pedal that requires such a high force to actuate (admittedly I used the red spring as recommended in this review) but now I've got the hang of it and feel like I have nice control. Also modded on a simagic haptic reactor
@@realVRSI'm not sure if I can answer but do you know if your pedals work with the simagic vibration motors?
Definitely one of your best reviews I’ve ever seen😁 What I like best in what I’ve noticed compared to previous review vids is the organized format of the vid, especially the conclusions section at the end, more similar to Barry @ SRG.
What I liked better than Barry’s vids is you talk about where & how these pedals perform in comparison to other pedals on the market. (Barry would just say if they worked well or not, not if an aspect was better/worse than another pedal)
I'm tempted by these but kind of wish they sold a pedal plate for them. I run a NLR GTelite rig and would need to source a 3rd party plate to mount them.
I use mine without a pedal plate no issues
@@trevz1048 is that on the same rig? NLR GT Elite?
Hey Will. Great review as always mate. I’m seriously considering these to replace my MECA Cups. Although I love my pedals, I’ve had to replace the spring in the throttle load cell 4 times now. These VRS springs look really sturdy and multiple adjustment points are also really useful. Cheers
Based on this review I think they’re fairly similar to the mecas, I love mine too but thankfully my throttle springs been fine.
How long before yours broke?
@@SwordnScale first spring snapped after about 3 months. Then I had more fail in a similar time frame. The guys at MECA were really great and air freighted me extra springs. I also think they have changed the spring material. The current spring was installed back in November 2021.
A handful of influencers have raved about Simagic’s inverted pedals and the real car feel. They also have highly positive things to say about the build quality, adjustable elastomer system, and the FFD. Does anyone have a comparison of Simagic with VRS?
VRS is much better 👌
Tried the Forte, didn't like them, immediately changed over to the VRS and I'm in love with those now :) Build quality is soooo good
I think the Forte pedals are awesome if they suit your driving style. But these are far more versatile.
@@boostedmedia I found their brake system totally overengineered. Its just weird to use and adjust, because its not a classic load cell. It also measures the movement instead of pressure. Didnt like that at all. Toolless adjustments was very nice though. But quality of the VRS is just 2 classes higher. For me those fit perfectly. At the end everything is subjective
Great review as always Will.
Any chance to review these against ImSim Talento ?
i modded throttle pedal on my moza srp lite the same way, feels very nice
Looking to upgrade from V3 s to VRS or Sprints. Based on the comments seems like the VRS is the way
What did you go with?
Was considering new pedals for a while but couldn’t find anything wrong with my v3’s really to upgrade . Anyway off the back of this review I thought they are reasonably priced look great and the outlet was not to far from me in Melbourne. I went to see Julian at VRS today who was very helpful brilliant customer service and after having ago handed my money over. They look better in the flesh very well made and after setting them up on my rig ( bloody update wouldn’t work for ages after about 30 attempts it did and loads of swearing ) I did a few laps at interlagos within 5 laps I was 0.5 seconds quicker than my previous best money well spent . So Buy VRS pedals they are bloody great !!
Where abouts in Melbourne are they?
@@Dooogzliterally where
I'm really curious to see you guys review the Meca Sim Evo1s
Hi Will, great video. Will you be doing a review on the MECA EVO1 hydraulic panels?
On my DIY Pedals I came to the same conclusion as the VRS pedals. Spring(s) on the brake just feel better and provide more longevity than elastomers. Hence I am not surprised they are perceived well.
The only other pedals I know of that use springs for the brake are the german Nuo Evo1.
Thanks Will. Vrs setup here I come. Hope you get a referral link soon. Looking to order both real soon. ❤
Amazing video like always! Can you test the Augury Simulations 121 set of pedals? I think those are the nicest pedals i've ever seen and It will be great to know how they perform
So glad I wasn’t playing the drinking game with the word elastomer 😂
Would love to these how these stack up to VNM's pedals. I went with those instead due to the ability to add dampers, these look amazing though.
I’m looking for an upgrade from V3’s and these look pretty good.
Will be a huge jump in the feel and overall build quality. I went from V3s to the BJ Steel GT Pro and there is alread a HUGE difference. Treshold braking is amazing (never managed to get the V3s to behave like I wanted) and another huge difference is the throttle pedal feel. And with these it should be even better. So I would say go for it
i did exactly that, went from the V3 to the VRS. Just do it mate, you´ll never regret it! So much nicer feeling!!...
Do you recommend these or the Simagic P2000?
I'm totally sold on VRS equipment !
I recently bought a set of these for my new rig and have found the actual pedals not so bad.....BUT the software is ordinary . If you have all 3 pedals, the system will calibrate normally, but after replacing my brake pedal with simucube, it turned to shit. With only 2 pedals in the system, it had major issues. For over $1000 a set, the software should be a whole lot better.
On my first rig, I had a set of Heuskinveld Pro Pedals, and would still buy them over these, purely on the software alone. I also found their brake pedals to be better as well, but that's just me.
Can't decide between these and simtrec propedal GT. Anyone help with my choice?
Having tested both those brands you would be happy with both. So it all comes down to which ones you like the look of the best!
@@barrymanon9459 thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback.
Hey Will, great review. Have you ever thought of doing a ‘Will Score’ (aka Doug Score)? With all the choices available it can be a little overwhelming trying to compare product A to B, A to C etc… If you had a spreadsheet with various categories rated, it would make comparing pedals more straightforward and easier to make a purchasing decision. Just a thought.
Think I'm going to get a couple of my old Meccano sets out and build me a set of these pedals.
Joking aside, I'm very tempted. Just feels strange to strap these to my cheap folding Playseat (Perils of a London flat .... ).
Hi Will, I am looking at options to upgrade my sim setup from the T300. I have checked out your review on the VNM pedals. If you consider the reliability of the elastomers, would you still choose the VNM over the VRS
Great review Will. Btw did you use a base plate for these pedals and if so which one as I understand VRS don't supply their own?
Bolted directly to the TR120 rig.
How are the simlabs pedals compared to these ?
so should i buy these or he ultimates? maby something else? first sim rig but dont want to upgrade later would rather add stuff instead of upgrade. simucube pedals are to much for me on this one
I have tried only a few pedals. I owned the TCLM's, now I own the Simgrade VX Pros. Before buying my VX's, I tried a friends VRS pedals for about 10-15 minutes & another friend & I were incredibly impressed. I'm still trying to get my Simgrades to where I want, trying different configurations after 3 mths. I barely tried the Ultimate's at a Microcenter, so I can't comment on those but the VRS are best pedals my friends & I have tried.
Definitely VRS, better value for money and just as good
So basically if u have ultimate+ pedals dont bother but if you dont have them then have a look at these👍
I’d say that’s pretty accurate.
Are these 200kg load cell or 140kg like the website says?
@boosted Media
I'm completely new to sim racing but also went all in in gear and went with the vrs pedals.
Currently I'm on the default setup just the red sprint.
Which tie rod length u ended up using?
Would also like to get a little more travel.
Thanks!
Hey Will great video. Question, in your experience, do you find it more beneficial to have the pedal face position at the top or closer to the middle of the pedal?
I am hooked after getting the Moza R5 Bundle. I have returned it and I am ready to invest. I have been looking at Simagic P2000R Pedals, Alpha Ultimate Base, GT Pro Wheel, FX Pro Wheel, DS-8X shifter. My friend that has been into Sim Racing and spent some time in the pit in Nascar suggested the VRS system. I am open for any incite from you all. Thanks in advance.
Budget for Base, wheel/s, pedals, and shifter is around $4000.
These look great, but even now I can’t find stock anywhere here in the UK so I’ll likely end up just ordering some Sprints.
Can you use these with the Asetek drive motor and system without issues? or is it better to keep everything one manufacturer for compatibility?
There’s no compatibility issues. Just means you’ll have to run multiple software packages. Although once calibrated the pedal software doesn’t have to be running anyway.
How well can these be run inverted, especially compared to the Sprint? I am primarily concerned about the throttle.
I just got these pedals and they are great. What I want to know though is what wheel you are using. Looks like one of the new GT Pro Cube Controls had at simexpo but with a twist.
Great review,electronic is 12 or 16 bit?
How do these work with the CSL DD wheel? I just bought some for my CSL DD but didn’t think about connections
If you are on PC, just plug them into a USB port. If you are on console, it isn't going to work.
what is the benefit of using a load cell in accelerator and clutch pedals? in comparison with a hall sensor
I wonder what your views on the Imsim talento pedals will be.
Okay, now I want to spend money again, great review :)
I own a Méca cup1 and a p1000i RS.. not satisfied 100%. The swap with this is ok ?
Hey man, I have the p1000i with hydraulic brake as well. For the money I spent with add ons and such I don't feel 100% satisfied either. I get some clicking here and there and I'm not sure how I feel about the brake and throttle since I don't have much to compare it to. Kinda wish I went for the Heusinkveld Ultimates +. What didn't you like about the pedal set?
Wonder how this compare against the simgrade VX Pro's as they both seems like very good pedals
Simagic p1000 or these?
Nice one guys.. another addition to me dream list! Speaking of which… Are you guys planning on reviewing the PSVR2 and GT7? Early reports appear to be very positive, but won’t believe the hype till you guys have got some time with it 😉
I can’t decide between VRS and new MECA EVO LC…somebody have any experience with those?
Love how these pedals seem to look and perform. Would love to see a review of the simagic pedals to see how they compare as they are cheaper and hydraulic. Also apparently have the best feeling throttle of any pedal set many have tried.
Simagic is not in the same league as VRS especially when it comes to build quality, but it depends whether you want a actual hydraulic system or a mechanical system that feels like hydraulic
Agree with Paul here. Simagic are more a hobby type pedal.
For pure sim racing and wanting to be fast then VRS, HE Ultimate, Simtrecs and the likes.
@@barrymanon9459 after that in another league Simtag?
@@barrymanon9459 How exactly are the simagic pedals more of a hobby pedal and not competitive? Just curious as to what objective measure you are referring to?
@@alecmillea4539 that's what I was wondering how someone can use that as a reason, some hobby stuff is miles better than what is on the market.
Great video!! If you had to choose between these and the heusinkveld ultimates which one would you choose? I know they're very similar but which one would you choose?
Can you please verify how the rubber, plastic washer and spring should be stalked on the Heusinkfeld pedals in this video? thx
I'm a fan of inverting pedal mounts....easier to keep my rig clean..... anyone have any ideas or input about this?
currently in running the JVB3's with the original pedal faces and just never have cared for the side to side slop in those!
Have you done a review of the simagic p2000 pedals ?
So would you say they are better than the Sprints
