Need recommendations for new pedals
I have a set of Act Labs Performance Pedals, but am sick of the springs
constantly braking, always right when I need them most (have 3 stages to submit in RBR, and a race in Nascar 2003 online monday.) I also have a birthday in a few weeks...so I have a good excuse to get a nice set of pedals. I basically want something that uses USB, has a clutch, and has a good system where springs do not brake all the time. Thanks. |

I had the Performance pedals for a couple years and I know what you mean
about springs. I wore out the screws on the base changing the springs. I recently purchased a BRD rig. http://www.interactiveracing.com/Pedals/Speed7/ Speed 7 pedals with clutch. It is USB and works independent of the wheel. Expensive but if you plan to race often, well worth the cash. I tried the ECCI pedals and they felt great but only work with the Momo Force or the Red Momo(of course with their own wheels as well). I also got the BRD RallyV2 wheel and it was tough to give up force feedback. BRD is working on a FF wheel that will work with the speed 7 pedals(not surprised if it costs a mint when complete). Another feature of the pedals is that you can sit them on the floor like the Act Labs or invert them so the pedals hang like ECCI which feels much more natural. There is even a small switch to reverse clutch and accell. so no soldering. Excuse the no paragraphs. I am in a hurry to get on the track.

I have owned the BRD system with the Speed 7 pedals, and an ECCI system. I
now have a TSW unit and like it much better than the BRD or ECCI. http://www.thomas-superwheel.com/prods/3pedal.html 185.00 for 3 pedal unit, 70.00 for control box to connect direct to USB port and 23.00 shipping.

My TSW system is almost 7 years old, the pots in the pedals(3) have
been changed once to upgrade to the 50k specs but otherwise they have required no repairs and still work as new ...and btw TSW products have a "Lifetime" warranty Bob Gee wrote: > I have owned the BRD system with the Speed 7 pedals, and an ECCI system.

I haven't found the answer on the web and a while back when I wrote asking, I didn't get an answer. Russell |

That is the link I posted. The control box adapter is needed to connect the pedals to a USB port on your computer, rather than to a TSW wheel system. |

Right now I am running old Thrustmaster pots in my TSW2, and they've beome a bit too twitchy for my taste.

I have the AcrLab pedals,
and to avoid the spring problem, someone posted instructions on removing the baseplate and inserting tennis balls underneath the pedals. You have to drill a hole in each ball to make the fit, and its pretty tight. But its a cheap solution. Guaranteed no spring problems, and gives the pedals a nice firm feel. Took about 10 minutes to get the bottom off and the tennis balls wedged in there. hth, jeff On Sun, 31 Oct 2004 01:37:42 GMT, "Stuart Becktell" > wrote: >I have a set of Act Labs Performance Pedals, but am sick of the springs >constantly braking, always right when I need them most (have 3 stages to >submit in RBR, and a race in Nascar 2003 online monday.)
