    I was really happy with my original CSL Elite Load Cell pedals; when I experienced the inconsistency in the load cell based on where you press I felt so unhappy with the purchase, but I decided to just live with it, and I managed to get used to it and used them for years.
    These new pedals address the biggest issues, and with hall sensors too? Brilliant V2!

    In auto calibrate mode you can set a dead zone. Just hold the pedal where you want the dead zone to end then power up the pedals. I hold about a 1/4 on the brakes then power up the wheel base (pedals plugged to base) to give a small initial dead zone on the brakes. Since I tend to rest my foot on the brake I need that small cushion area.

    @ess99_ Před rokem +3

    Thanks so much for this review! I have the v1 pedals and the potentiometer has been so frustrating, the plastic teeth being worn away and resulting in poor inputs/random spiking was so disappointing. Buying a replacement is almost £40 - just for the potentiometer. I ended up boxing away my rig as I didn't want to downgrade to a different pedal set of lesser quality - like plastic pedals, but I also couldn't justify an expensive upgrade due to my investment in three sperate wheel rims and the compatibility with the elite wheelbase. But the V2 pedals using magnets like high-quality flight sticks is a game changer for me. That one change alone is worth this product. It's just such a shame this wasn't implemented in the original design.

    • @throttleblipper
      @throttleblipper Před rokem

      I switched to hall sensors on my V1 elites for £20something each from someone on Etsy I think it was. Plus different elastomers and small spacers to improve sideward play in the pedal arms.
      I agree the V2s seem a good step up but if you want to get your rig set back up without spending ££s on all new pedals, I can more than recommend these small upgrades in the meantime.

    @raikkusaatana Před rokem +4

    One, maybe one of the most important things in these, compared to CSW's, is that you can move/adjust these sideways. So if ie your knee hurts when loadcell brake force you to press it in bad angle, with these(as in v1 which I've had years and still have) you can move brake pedal more to the left, away from throttle. Some ppl complained that you cannot adjust pedal footplate angle, thats not problem if your rig allow you to put pedal set mounting plate more upwards, as I've done in my Simetik V2.

    Had the previous version and loved them but them v2s are on point! The new loadcell is fantastic in every aspect and the fact that they now use hall effect sensors made this pedal set a 10/10 . I think with that on the market its not necessary to buy overpriced high end pedals

  • @vladislavmatiusenco1089

    I modded the Thrustmaster t-lcm pedals so they are functionally the same. I put 3 elastometers which look identical to this ones, but i think they are softer, made from a stiff rubber which flexes if pressed with enough force. Then on top i put the RED SPRING which is included with the pedals. The spring is almost twice longer than that of those fanatec pedals. The loadcell is up to 100kg. When i fully compress the spring i feel the threshold, it somewhat well defined, it reaches about 80% of full force that the sensor is capable of. I set that to be 95% braking in the tm software, that works i guess as a cheaper alternative to fanatec pedals. You also can tune it however you want with elastometers of different sizes, types and various spring. I thing it feels the same as the pedals in the video. After all, the skill is the most important part

    Great review, as usual, but for me -- a TLCM user - the real value in this video is Will's explanation of how to calibrate load cell pedals. Would be a great topic for a short standalone video.
    I would like to know Will's opinion about whether the V2's are suitable for heel-and-toe driving. The non-adjustable pedal pads make me think not, but given pedals' strong points I'd love to find out I'm wrong about that.

    hi will. bought these based on your review(was a great video, thank you) and they arrived today.
    just wanted to ask if it's intentional that the clutch is significantly firmer than the throttle? I'm not sure what pedals are supposed to feel like as these are my first set.
    I can easily fully depress the throttle with my pinky, where as the clutch needs my thumb to make it feel that easy.
    edit: nvm, answered my own question when I flipped them over and saw the two springs were different.

Today has been my first time using them. I've just been doing laps around the nurburgring in ACC. All I can say is wow. I am already 3 seconds faster on my previous pb with the standard 2 pedal CSLs in just 16 laps! I am much more consistent and enjoy playing even more. For anyone curious about these pedals, I would do it! They are great.

    Thanks for the review. Just used your affiliate link and bought a set. I bought a GT DD Pro 8nm a few months ago and was using them with my old CSR Elite load cell brake pedal set that I used to use with my old CSR Xbox wheel (toy-like belt driven). Then last week I ungraded to the load cell on the CSL pedals that came with GT DD Pro and installed those into my rig.
    I think I like the old CSR Elite load cell brake better but it was getting old and wasn't very smooth no matter what I did. New load cell but it was the mechanical stuff making it less than smooth. Now with the CSL load cell it is much smoother but trying to apply say.. 10% brake and hold it there is very difficult. You need to press the brake pedal pretty hard for it to register, then it seems to wants to go up to at least 50%. Hard to explain but pedal seems too stiff, like you're pressing on a rock, not a brake pedal. CSR Elite had more progression, it felt more like a brake pedal to me. I had to reinforce my cockpit for the CSL load cell though, it took a lot more pressure to get full braking after being adjusted to suit my taste.
    I hope these feel a lot better than the CSL load cell. Maybe I could get used to the CSL brake but I don't think I could ever be very consistent with them, at least trying to trail brake or hold a lower pressure for any amount of time. I'm sure I could mod the CSL load cell brake elastomers and get it feeling better, but might as well just get something that works better out of the box.
    So now my rig with have Elite V2 pedals, GT DD Pro 8nm, and a ClubSport Handbrake V1.5! Should be pretty sweet. I'd get the shifter but I never ended up using a manual shifter much even though it's fun to mess around with on appropriate cars. I kind of wish I just bought these instead of the load cell for the CSL pedals.

I had pretty much made up my mind on the VRS and just waiting on my call out! Would love to see these two reviews first though. Gee I’ve come a long way from my g29 and wheel stand in the span of 5 months haha

    Wheel stand with wheel cradle? I'm using a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 that includes a cradle for the wheels of a chair to help keep the chair somewhat stable relative the pedals. I've found the CSL Load Cell to not be usable because of the firm pedal. Do you think these will work well with a wheel stand 2.0. or should I just give up on using a load cell brake with the wheel stand. Thanks for the thorough review!

    I'm super excited for these pedals. My main focus is drifting though so modulating the throttle is a big deal in my consideration of what pedals to buy. I wonder how the throttle on these feels like compared to to something like the v3 pedals with a dampener kit on the throttle instead of brake pedal.

      @@BorbaPower I actually don't have experience with it but if you look at simracing garage on youtube he has a review where he explains that because the loadcell on the v3 you don't actually get much out of the damper on the break (because of a small amount of travel before you are pushing on the load cell) so he says that you get a lot more out of installing it on the gas pedal.

    Could you let us know how is the thottle travel? My issue with V3's was that the throttle travel was too long so i modified it and made it quite a lot shorter. As i see in your video you can not adjust it here, so is it too long? On V3's me heal actually lifted while i tried to floor it.

      I think that's probably Fanatec's plan. That, or a new Clubsport V4 with similar price bump. Their range is kind of all over the place at the moment. Incomplete Clubsport and Podium lines (no CSW DD and no Podium pedals) have left niches in the market for Fanatec's competitors.

    You can take out the foam insert in the CSL V1 and replace it with a polymer insert. This will give a similar feel to the V2.

      I always found it felt too linear using one of the polymer inserts. But I never tried any aftermarket options. Nothing a basic metal spring couldn’t fix in terms of the feel of the stack though.

    Good review and seems like quite nice pedals!
    Although to me they have one annoying limitation in that they dont have any adjustability with pedal angle ("height") at all.
    I cant be the only one that want to have the brake pedal sit higher than the throttle so the pedals are at a similar height when actually braking, making it easier to heel and toe...
    And with the way the pedal faces seems integrated to the "stem" itself, you cant really mod this afterwards either AFAIK :(
    Now the brake travel isnt huge, so this perhaps isn't a dealbreaker, but I do miss having that flexibility.

  • @schnipp6876
    @schnipp6876 Před rokem +2

    I used to run the old CSL Elite LC pedals.
    While some issues of the old design were solved (Hall sensors instead of potentiometers, loadcell on the rod and not under the pedal plate), the most annoying thing I had about the pedals is still there.
    That is the lack of adjusting on how the pedal faces line up. Even with a stiff brake pedal I regularly hit the side of the throttle plate while doing heel and toe on downshifting.
    Also, I always hated the lack of throw adjustments on the throttle. For me it was always too long.
    My solution was to zip-tie the throttle down so it couldn't come back to it's default resting position to have a shorter throw and a good throttle position for heel and toe.

Maybe it’ll make more sense when they inevitably release Podium pedals. I thought they made the CSL pedals to do away with this design, yet here we are.

    Just picked these up. Attempting to change the pedal position and the bolts out of the factory have been put on so incredibly tight it's almost impossible. Took well over an hour to remove 5/6 bolts attaching the heel plate and the last one I suspect has stripped as it's now loose on both sides but I can't for the life of me get the bolt loose from the nut. Seems like loads of people have problems with this reading reddit/forums. I'm not even sure what to do with mine as it won't even tighten back up now either.
