In this video we Review the PT-1 Pedals by ProtoSimtech and see if these Load Cell sim-racing Pedals are indeed the best value high end pedals money can buy !
Good
- Value for money - Especially in USA
- Easy to tweek and customize
- Solid construction
- Nice chunky pedal plates
- Very obvious Digressive clutch feel
- Easy to use Brake pedal with fantastic Brake feel
- Plug and play
- Comes with two separate dampeners to adjust brake feel
Bad
- Postage and Customs fees up the price for those in UK/Europe
- Limited runs and high demand make getting a set tricky at times
- Clutch can be quite noisy when set up at harder settings
- Quite large in size for people with smaller rigs

Good review these are truly awesome pedals and the feedback back from the pedal is best I've used plus Chris is really helpful and quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns about them. I received my pedals in June I was £600 for what you received including UK customs charge but price will be subject to exchange rates.
I need to stop watching reviews of sim equipment, because I'll end up selling my liver...
Sell someone else's liver. Problem solved.
Fuk need to sell a liver a kidney an arm and a leg to build a dream rig lol
That being said I have a good used liver for sale. I really want these pedals. LOL!
Yes!!! I should’ve stopped months ago... I’m now 6 grand deep and unhappy with the “shitty” pedals I broke.. smh 🤦♂️
Great review, i do have these pedals since last march and using them almost 6 days out of seven and they hold up really good. they are build like a tank. Love them a lot. The only thing i had to do is put a little bit a grease when they started to squeak.
to decrease/prevent noise, you could use a foam/rubber ring in between the back plate of the pedals and the back ring on the pedal rod
Thank you for the nice shots of the pedals. Ill be spending some time in solidworks i think.
Stunning piece of kit! Great review thank you. Darn, I'm going to have to sell my entire Marmite stash to pay for these beauties!
I had a bit of a fiddle myself watching this video. Great job my friend. Thank you so much for the share. New sub here.
Great looking set of pedals, and a great video.
Went to buy some of these (well get on the waiting list) but as you mentioned the shipping and import charges are a serious consideration, pretty much adds up to two sets of pedals.
Can you do a video on budget pedals because I caught a t300rs and the pedals that came with it have like 50% dead zone and every time I want to use them I have to take the whole pedal apart manually move sensors and screw it all back together while it’s still on and every time I turn it off I have to redo it.
Greate video . may I ask what is the name of your dirt rally telemetry mod? tanx 6:12
Excellent review GM.
Thanks I hope I covered most the points !
I Bought the PT-2's last friday. I gotta re-learn braking haha
What were the "I've gone too far" pedals?? I want them!
We are Borg! Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated! Good review again mate!
Awesome review! What would be a good wheel setup/ h pattern shifter with these pedals? I'm trying to get into sim racing but don't know where to really start.
T300 is probably the best value wheel and then SHH shifter ore the Th8a shifter. I need to check out the new fanatic ffb base tgough.
hahaha that was really funny xD keep up the great work!
Thanks !
aw c'mon! now you're just making me jealous... and laugh. dude you're like the top gear of sim racing reviews. great one. I had these back in 2015! batch 1. best pedals I've ever used.
PS, I hate you, no one will send me stuff lol
Praise the lord, it's a new GM review!
Good thing I didn't buy the Clubsport V3 pedals, these seem much nicer.
Club sport V3's are meant to be quite good I think these pedals are in a different category though, will probably come down to availability and price after postage for most people as to which they went for :)
Instead of buying the V3's and upgrading maybe 2 years later I think it's a good idea to save some cash and go straight for some pro pedals. It's cheaper in the long run. If you can survive the wrath of your significant other.
ima very un happy owner of the v3s,ive gone back to my modded dfgt pedals,even with the eladur mod they are just not worth the money over the dfgt pedals,the brake feels like a potentiometer based brake and you have to treat it lke such.
i wish id have saved a bit more and bought these
Those are some sweet shoes - who makes them?
I upgrading my rig with dd2 soon, do you think these are still the best as currently using thrust master pedals?
Any loadcell pedal will be better than thrustmasters
Hey GamerMuscle, what shoes are those in the video @ 11:15?
They are not very breathable I just got them as a cheapo shoes to use for simracing :) as they happend to be narrow ish and have a relatively thin bottem to them, though im sure proper go kart race shoes would be "better".

How do these compare to the HE Sprints?
I'm tossing up between getting one or the other and need help! :)
Protosimtec are closing down soon so sprints are probably better now or meca cup1s which are kinda between HE sprint and HE Ultimates 👍
a well made video
Its all in the 80s music.
At this price I'd expect some kind of feedback through the brake pedal (as you do in real life)
Same I feels too
Wicked trainers
Nice vid. Without the plate could you separate the gas and brake pedal. They look a bit cramped..
sure they are all separate units. even on the plate you can move them around more. or swap over the plate faces ore move the pedal faces.
That look like the club sport v3
If I keep watching sim vids I’ll end up selling my needs some work and almost complete turbo miata race car...😂😂
Will this be compatible with fanatec, logitech and thrustmaster
It plugs into usb on pc as a stand alone device. Games see it separate to the wheel.
I like your british humor. :)
Potentiometers aren't good idea, I have the pt1 pedals and the clutch pedal just keeps causing the pedals to disconnect every time I use the clutch. Now i have to order new potentiometer. No way I'm spending another $220 aud for postage to send them back and get them fixed.
That sounds like a weard issue , there is nothing inherlty bad about pots , often they last 4+ years of heavy use without needing cleaning.
If the clutch is causing your pedals to DC it's probably a controller board issue rather than an issue with just a pot.
This is just craziness. You should be able to purchase a excellent, top of the line wheel/pedal combo for 250-300 bucks.
Derek Wildash No, Premium sim racing equipement costs money, alot of money. An osw alone is more than 250 let alone a 'top of the line' pedal set.
Okay, I take your point. I would go to $500 for a combo but thats my absolute.
Derek Wildash still not 'top of the line' for 500 bucks. Of course you can have an extremily good combo door 500, but definetly not top of the line.
Are these hydraulic pedals? Or do they work like real hydraulic pedals?
they use springs and polyurethane dampeners, you can get a range of feel from them.
Will you be doing any Automobilista reviews or vids shortly ? And if not why not :)
As soon as they have VR I will probably be playing it more , same with R3E and RF2.
The problem with 2D games is that A) not as sexy as VR B) Have to move rig around room :(
That's OK for you lucky rich b'tards but worra bout us poor single screen racers :(
Lol I'm a penny pincher , and lucky that companies send me stuff to review.
I'll show you have to make awesome pizza cheep so you can save up faster :)
GamerMuscleVideos Got a fridge full of pizza fkn hate the shit :) I could sell it and buy a vive n t300 hmm nah haven't got that many ;)
Alumilium?
Very rare type of metal, can be found only on planet Jupiter
You can also smelt it out of unobtainium ore.
Hence the price tag
Aluminium. That's the word outside of North America. Just like aeroport. 😊
its called aluminium, its just that americans cant pronounce it and call it aluminum.
Like Homer Simpson saying nucular :)
man for the price of these you could buy a set of wilwood pedals and load cells
I need them...Thank you !!! Now my kid won't have any gift on Christmas ! Jk i'm kidding...or, am I really ?
Is better than the Fanatec clubsport v3??
From my time with V3's I prefer these over them its often hard to get protosimtech pedals though as they sell out fast.
Could buy a banged up car and throw it in a banger race for a little extra money
Good luck racing it for thee next 5+ years and then taking it to all the tracks around the world and then racing it in a competitive environment.
The reason people get sim kit is that though it's really not like the real thing it lets you train real world skills , brake points brake modulation race craft and in cars that would cost £500 - 5+k a day to run.
GamerMuscleVideos I see where the appeal is for that sort of thing and it is cool I love sim racing but the really high end stuff gets a big too expensive for my tastes, I know I'll have more fun at the end of the day on a cheap motorcycle in the mud with friends, but in the long run an expensive sim setup can be awesome too, it's just that if I spend £500 on 3 pedals (as nice as they might be) it's always going to be in the back of my head that I literally could've bought an entire motorcycle for that cash. But it makes sense I guess, niche items will always be expensive and mass produced tried and tested every day tech will always be cheap.
I guess what it comes down to is how dedicated you are to the niche of sin racing, I'm fine with my g27 personally I don't mind it not being incredibly high end but it isn't that great, I know there a world of better gear out there with so much better quality and prestige. But am I gonna she'll out the cash? Hell no.
No disrespect to sim racers who do though, this hobby is awesome these people are too (mostly)
Ben Fennell I agree what I love about SIM racing unlike real racing is you can be competitive on a G27 and learn lots of the skills that apply to the real world. The high end kit is mostly for direct training or if you like highly customisable kit. Or maybe if you just want something that's a bit more dun / immersive to use.
I have spoken to DTM drivers that are happy with a G27 as they just like to practice the tracks and get into the zone where as others will use top end kit for physical training or refining specific skills.
I have never personally had a ton of money so I really appreciate affordable things that offer the entertainment value.
As for bikes they are awsome I just have a pedal bike but have used some low power dirt bikes in he past. When it comes to getting a thrill they are way better then driving for value ! ( Unless you fall off )
GamerMuscleVideos GamerMuscleVideos haven't taken my driving test yet (only 16) but have used a g27 in dirt rally and assetto Corsa for a while with most realistic settings so hopefully won't immediately crunch gears, burn out the clutch and stall? Lol I can do bikes how hard can it be right? Here's to cheap thrills man!
Is this Jimmy broadband?
Adil Saleem no he has more hair.
Oh come on... the fanatec pedals aren't that bad... at least the v3
Any direct comparisons? Looking at getting the v3 or PT2's
So, your saying you had a 2 hour fiddle!
it's good to fiddle for a couple of hours each day. even better if you can get a friend to help.
I can hear the click of people unfriending you right now in case you mean them
Le prix?
he pro>pt1>fanatec
You get what you pay for !
Personally, I would rank both the HPP PRX AND Ricmotec REALGEAR GTPRO3 XTREME pedals above the HE Ultimates...but that's just me! :-)
GamerMuscleVideos do you still think they are wourth buying? I need new pedals, cant feel anything with my thrustmaster pedals. Nothing
I just went from a thrustmaster TP3A pro to a PT-1. The cronical brake mod on the TP3A pro is genius but I just don't like the feel of the clutch and gas pedal. And I'm so happy with my PT-1purchase even it cost quite a bit more. Adjustability on the PT-1 is awesome, from super soft to super stiff and travel distance. It took me quite a long time to set it to my liking, couple days of try and error actually but man it feel so so much better then the TP3A and fanatec CS v2.
they look like a copy of the HE pedals
They do have similarities, I think you can say that with most the top end pedals though. In the end there is only going to be so many ways you can do things and then do them well when it comes to pedals !
Nive pedal set, shame to see them close uo
500 Bucks pedals but potatoe graphics
126€ shipping to Germany. What a joke.
I think the postage prices come from ProtoSimtech being small and then having to use US post services, combined with the pedals waying quite a bit and also taking up a fair amount of space.
Maybe if they can get bigger / produce larger runs then they will be able to get better postage deals.
I agree though the postage price is a real shame as without that the pedals are some of the best value for money pedals you can get, considering they are essentially pedals for life.
GamerMuscleVideos Well I understand that they are small but not selling to anything then US customers won´t get them bigger. :(
bob bobo I Don't know what they can do though, I spoke to them about it because if the pedals could be delivered to Europe for say £35-£50 + VAT then Europe would get the insane value USA get from them.
In the end PST don't make the money of the postage, there is a stamp on my box $126.76 That's USPS taking all that.
Separate to that I think they are doing ok for sales, if anything one of the downsides for the pedals is that PST cannot keep up with demand !
GamerMuscleVideos Cannot keeping up is only a matter of investment. Hope they get more done and start selling in Europe.
bob bobo Thats not quite true , business management , time , quality , R&D and everything else comes into play when it comes to hard ware production.
Sure you can always just throw money at things but often that has a impact on Quality and the rate at which R&D can take place.
Also its a huge jump and risk for businesses to go from artisan worker to full production team.
PT1 is literally a crazy guy working on them not a huge company lol.
If they got bigger I'd expect the price of the pedals to jump another $100 at least as the current low price is probably due to them not having to go crazy on staff and admin costs.
Good review these are truly awesome pedals and the feedback back from the pedal is best I've used plus Chris is really helpful and quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns about them.
