Fanatec Clubsport Pedals V3 Inverted Review 

Man, the writing on this is awesome; legitimately NPR-quality descriptions; concise, illustrative, and well-spoken!

I've been using the Clubsport pedals for 6 years, replaced the load cell once. Great set that I would never switch out.

i really liked your review, particularly the part where you measured the brake throw at soft and hard settings, this is exactly what i was looking for, and no one else was doing. nice job.

Excellent show once again! I'm happy that Fanatec is always innovating and releasing new gear.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that races in their socks. Just ordered my V3’s yesterday. Looking forward to trying them out very much

Great job, Shaun! these pedals are what I've been waiting for, finally!

I really like this guys super thorough reviews and I also like his upbeat style, he is definitely one of the better guys doing this.

You got me sold on these. Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for to upgrade from G29 pedal set.

Great, thorough review. Really appreciated the way you showed the dimensions.

Awesome job Shaun! Super complete review.

Good review Shaun!

Thank you especially for the measurements of the pedals. This is really helpful 👌🏼

Pretty in depth review, much appreciated!

great detailed review Shaun, thanks

Nice review Shaun very informative

very very good review , cannot be more complete !

You nailed it once again! Great job!!!!!!

Nice review Shawn, my V3i pedals should arrive tomorrow. Keep up the good work, haters always have an underlying reason that has nothing to do with the person they are hating on.

Great Review. Thanks for your time.

fantastic review once again. wish these things were more freely available in South Africa. exchange rate plus shipping costs make it a big no no.

Almost ready for my first race with these awesome pedals! Overpriced for some, but not all!

Was lurking on those pedals since the launch. Normally would never have bought them but the Fanatec Blak Friday deal put at them -40% sale, lowering the price from 600€ to 360€ which is finally a reasonable price for me. They're arriving in two days and I can't wait to have them replace my V2 pedals which I was actually very happy with.

I'm writing this comment six years after this video was posted and I'm amazed by the ingenuity and engineering of Fanatec. They really elevated the level of realism of sim racing.

Nice review Shawn, compared to what is on the market now these pedals are a very good option I think and a darn good looking set of pedals. Considering just an aftermarket load cell will run anywhere from $100 to $180 and the brake adjustability on these pedals is fantastic and looks very user friendly out of the box.

Fantastic Review. Thanks!

Just bought some standard V3s because I wasnt sure the Inverted would fit my GTOmega stand. Now I'm feeling regret at not going inverted and just buying a new stand if needs be

I recently bought some V3s but I really like these. I would buy some today If only my GT Omega Pro would allow for it.

Great review, hope some day i'll have this pedals in my setup... I think holes on brake pedal feel is normal if you play with socks and... man, this left foot braking is killing me xD it looks so weird

Thanks for the video

Awesome show and great review! Liked and Subscribed! Hope to see you on a track someday Cheers!

holy shit i finally found you again. i was wondering what happened to you when you disappeared from that other channel.

I just did a DIY inversion, swapped the gas and clutch then mounted the whole platform on a 1/2" piece of MDF and mounted it to my rig, would highly recommend.

I think what some aren't getting here is Shaun talking about how Fanatec changed the game. First, most of us had plastic pedals. Fanatec introduced metal construction at a reasonable price, where most premium pedal manufacturers charged much, much more for their metal pedals. Now Fanatec brings inverted pedals at a reasonable price, certainly much cheaper than other inverted pedal sets. It's going to cost you as you move away from cheap stuff to equipment that should last a lifetime. Are you a casual user or are you ready to take your sim racing to the next level?

Thank you sir! You are a great person!

Just got these during their black Friday sale and I'm having a tough time adjusting to the load cell braking, I'm coming from the TH 2 pedal setup so I have to relearn and tweak with the brake seeing to my liking

Great review and I agree this is priced right for the features. You pay for what you get and Fanatec is looking out for the sim racer.

Awesome! I would love to see more on the gas/brake pedal shaker motors...can we use simtools to run them?

Have the normal V3 for a couple months now. Only thing I wish they would add is an option to move the individual pedal assemblies. Moving the face plate also changes how much force needs to be applied since force is not being applied to the center anymore. Off center forces tends to increase wear as well... Had to cut those little spacers rings to move the brake pedal further out. Would have expected a proper solution for a "version 3" design. Other then that, pretty good stuff. EDIT: Forgot, one thing that pissed be off when taking them apart. Metric and stone age thread screws in the same product (with damper kit), WTF!?

I wish they sold an inversion kit for these pedals. I really love them and I doubt I'll need to buy new pedals anytime soon. I'm just wishing I would have coughed up the extra cash for the inverted set.

Sim racing shoes from "Fast Track Sims" are a must and are very reasonably priced. Don't race in socks anymore, lol.

I don't find software that allows any adjustment at the Fanatec download page. I do find the drivers. Love my Fanatec pedals but they should have given us the new brake pressure inserts, free. It was their mistake to send them out early on with such a mushy feel. Now they feel great. I have the non inverted V3's. I was having to clean my Logitec potentiometers every 5 or 6 months. Not a problem with these. Thanks for the review. Let me know about any software the allows adjustment

Well, i placed and order today for the V3 pedals (not inverted), dampener and shifter. Hope its worth it. Let you know when i try them out.

I'm ok with the pricing it's quality your paying for so I'm cool with it. I have questions about the pedals I'm newer to sim racing and wanted to know will these fanatec pedels work with the t300 rs racing wheel?

ARG! Just when I got my v3 pedals few months ago!

BlackFriday offer for Fanatec... same price as the Normal v3, NICE DEAL!

Keep it up !

Good review Shaun ...I may just buy these and sell my v3 standard

Sean, one tip... centimeters are shortened to 'cm' (lowercase) and not "cent". Cent is a 100th of a Euro or US Dollar after all. ;) Thanks for the review. :)

I don't know if you answered comments or questions, is there anyway I can get a hold of the cpx adapter? It allows me to plug in fanatec v3 pedals to my thrustmaster tx.

Hey Shaun, I am looking to upgrade my sim rig after 1 year of simming. I currently use a g27 set on a simetik K2 with a rift. I was thinking of using Fanatec V2.5 base, wheel, shifter, and hb with protosimtech pedals. I would like to simulate the car i drive, which pedals set would you go with? The V3 inverted or the protosimtech. Thanks!

They're only $600 today, instead of the $500 back in 2017. Just ordered a set today. I have the regular V3s and love them, I wanted to try the inverted ones.

Inconceivable!

Shaun do you think the Inverted would work on the Human Racing Gt chassis with adapter plate ?

I currently have the T3PA Pro pedals inverted and I'm looking to get the Fanatec Clubsport V3's. Do you think the inverted pedals are worth the extra $200 in your opinion? I personally doubt it, but I'd like to know your opinion.

great review

Is it comfy for left foot braking? I.e. not too much offset, not too much body twist, enough spacing? Recommend for F1? It looks to me that they are a bit more spaced out than the non inverted V3. I'm looking for a set to offer a good left braking position, but also use as clutch drive from time to time. This also seems to have more travel than the non inverted V3 and slightly better quality. Should I order this? If so, should I still order the damper to mount it on the gas pedal? I read some people do that... or should I just mount the stiffer spring if I need more feel. Any educated opinion is welcome. Thank you

So, do these have more clutch travel than the floor mounted model? Edit: Sorry! You answered my question at 12:57. I should have watched the full review.

Would be Nice if Fanatec made a kit for those of us that already own a set of standard V3s

They're a masterpiece of Sim racing enginuity and I'd consider them actually cheap for what they can do,but the rocker motors are only pc compatable. I only play Forza on Xbox. I can upgrade my current pedals to load cell and customize hydraulic braking if I wanted. That's too bad the rocker motors aren't compatable.

I want these pedals. But I have one question about the way you had it set up. To me it looked like you were barely able to reach them. I personally don’t like to have to extend my leg and foot to the extreme in order to do repetitive things like using the clutch.

Hi. Can I change the position of the clutch with the postion of the brake? I need the brake left. Thx

any feedback on heel/toe? throttle seems too far low/side to allow any heel-toe

If playing on PS4 with Clubsport V2 and inverted pedals connected to Clubsport base I have severely reduced Pedal Resolution. Is there a fix for that?

Where do you see plastic in the Thrustmaster pedals you shown at 0:59?

Hi Shaun What are the best settings for this Base on Forza 7 on xbox? I run with all assists off and want the most realistic feel possible Thanks

the walls at fanatec's hq have some weird angles, the walls at my house make a 90 degree angle with the floor not 45

How do these compare against the Heusinkveld Pro pedals? Any owners here?

can the brake and clutch be swapped?

So... do the vibrating motors work using a CSL Elite Racing on the PS4?

What bolts did you use to mount to your rig? Seems like all of my fanatec gear came without mounting hardware.

So you can obviously mount these flat or even on the floor, but would it be bettere on an angled platform like on most rigs?

Hi Shaun great review. Do you know if Fanatec will release an upgrade kit for the standard V3 model? Thanks

2 Questions Shaun: - in the 2 areas of how they perform and price, how do these pedals compare to the Proto SimTech PT-1's and the HE Pro's pedals? - have any recommendations on who sells inverted pedal mounts (pictured in your video beginning)? Thanks for this review Shaun, great job and detail!

I do have a playseat evolution m.. can I mount this V3 inverted pedals on the playseat ?

hay Shaun do you know if i can use it on my Thrustmaster VG T300RS Racing Wheel Servo Base for PS4

Is it correct, the more stiffer you adjust the brake, the more shorter the brake pedal travel range is?

what soft wear did you use for the rumble?

Looks cool, but ouch, the price point.....

I’m still running my T500rs with the original pedals. I haven’t really raced in my Obutto Ozone since GT6. I was too lazy to rearrange my Man Cave to play GT Sport. Now that GT7 is here for the next 5yrs or so, I am so out of “racing shape” LOL. I have the pedals mounted onto the pedal plate in the “GT” or inverted position. Inverting your pedals was all the rage 10yrs ago. But, now it seems like that cooled off and the majority of pedals are set in the “F1” orientation. I also used to have my brake pedal pretty stiff. Now that I’m 52, I don’t feel like having to really lay into it to get full braking. Same with the gas, I am finding myself pushing my leg to go full throttle rather than pivoting my ankle. I can’t recall if I’ve ever used the pedals in the down or F1 position. If I move the seat forward a click or two, then I’m too close to the pedals and I get soreness in my left ankle from resting my foot on the pedal. As for the brake pedal face, I’m using a custom made pedal face that spans the brake and clutch. I have zero internet in using a clutch. I tried it on my G25 and it was just nothing like driving a real clutch. So, I’m quite happy with sequential shifting. I can’t just simply flip the pedals around and press a couple of buttons. The pedals are oddly mounted to the Obutto pedal tray. I can’t find any inverted Vs regular pedal position videos to give me an idea of what to expect if I take my rig apart and flip them around. What are your thoughts on inverted Vs regular (or flat)? Thanks bud

It is expensive, but Fanatec made something use to be thousands of EU for hundreds. It cost much more than a low end padal, but the qulity can match those custmized extrem end products, which can cost you thousands of EU (you can even buy a real used car with that). Still a good job.

They look great but you have alot of flex in the base plate , how would these compare to the heusinkveld sim pedals sprint as they are very close in price I use a modded set of t3pa pro with load cell upgrade

What do you use to mount your products?

if only consider clutch feeling and accelerator, without brake pedal, which one feels better between normal and inverted? just please tell me your opinion only. Thank you

Can you connect the v3 pedals. To a t300 rim?

Will these work with the Accuforce v2 Wheel?

They would be great for Air Brakes .

I have Thrustmaster TX Base /Xbox, but want oppgrade Pedals (have not bay Pedals ). Can i youse Fanatec V3 (adapter) ? or is T3pa Pro the best Thrusmaster have for Xboks ? Maybe Thrustmaster came next year with oppgrade T3PA Pro (lov Cell etc....)

do you think this would be too heavy for the Yaw 2 motion rig?

hey Shaun, just wanted to ask (great video by the way) do you know if the clutch pedal can go where the brake is and vica versa ?

Actually what’s the practicality of considering the inverted version? Is it mostly for the heel-toe play? 🤔 cause if it’s more focused on that, might just wanna go for the standard V3’s

Do you know, by any chance what’s the brake pedal KG pressure range ? Maximum value is 90 kg but what’s the minimum ? Thank you ! 🙂

hi. so if i buy invertend, dont need damper kit, just need performance kit?

Any experience with the load cell breaking? Just lost my first one and had to buy a replacements as I was out of warranty Plus Fanatec will not sell me a spare due to limited inventory so have to wait 2-3 weeks shipping if it goes.

Hey Simpit! Shortcut for centimeters is cm, not cent. Cents are common for dollar denomination in USA. Which ones would you get if you would have to spend your own hard earned money - the GT ones or inverted? Doesnt really seem to be worth the extra buck to me... Its 350€ vs 600€.

No the wiring port explained in detail ?

hi everyone ! im new to sim race and looking for a set up ( never used a sim kit before ... ) i run my sim race game on my xbox one x , is the gaming consol does support the clubsport kit ?

Can someone tell me, how wide is it at the widest Point

this was the only thing which prevented me from getting Fanatec, I hate pedals in the F1 position, it doesn't feel natural when using a manual shifter and clutch.

So the only difference between these and the other v3s are the inverted, and the dampening kit?

From looking at the video, looks like there is some flex to them. I am considering these but any amount of flex is a bust for me. Anybody have these notice any flex?
