My relationship with the Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals has been a real love/hate experience. They've served me well but why have I moved on? Follow me on socials: twitch.tv/aeroveloce / aeroveloce / / aeroveloce / discord
Another great review Seth, I run the V3's only I've adapted mine being a right leg above knee amputee, I've switched the accelerator and clutch axis's over so that my accelerator is on the left, I've removed the upper linkage from the clutch side as I don't use a clutch at the foot, the clutch now performs exactly the same as the accelerator pedal so my able bodied friends can jump on and have a go, my clutch is operated with the middle finger of my left hand on the Podium rim ;) I hate the squeaks as well lol :) great vid mate!! You always get my thumbs up ;)
I agree they look the business and are very good, I had to angle mine when I fitted to rig, they gave good solid performance the BPK kit is a must, the dampers are just a gimmick and unless, the motors are a good idea, but they are weak and after the novelty wears off you don't even notice them as they are weak, but saying that I have added vibration motors on my Heusinkveld Sprints, and they are an amazing add-on. Back to the Fantec pedals, I had the V1 CSL elites before I got the V3s, and they are also a great set of pedals with the load cell. Spot on keep up the good work
Good take on the pedals. I mostly play gt7 so I'm stuck with Fanatec for now. I would love to see a podium pedal set akin to something like the cammus lc100 set.
I have the same pedals for about a year now. And just like you the pin in the brake worked its way out. It was a pain putting it back in, to the point where I had to sand the pin down a bit in order for it to go back in. That was about 4 months again, no issues since. I would recommend them for the price point.
All I did to mount the V3's without removing the faceplate was to put the bolts in at the front from underneath and then using wing nuts. Using the wing nuts makes the install easy.
I had the exact same experience and was also the reason why I upgraded to more expensive pedals and frankly I agree there's no way they are worth the cost compared to this. The damper on the V3s is far superior than the one on the Ultimates and honestly if it wasn't for the adjustability I would prefer these. I've also used hydraulics and other pedals, pressing elastomers feels like pressing elastomers regardless. It's why I changed my ultimates so now they use springs.
Purchased a 200kg loadcell kit of aliexpress is a must imo. They can be a little tricky to setup had to swap two wires over as it was inverted and stripped a screw from the alloy block so i used a slightly bigger screw. Comes with 2 clear elastomers which are way harder than v3 kit. I took the v3 kit foam out and it feels amazing now much better trail braking and muscle memory.
Have you done the same review for your H.field pedals? Intrested in your thoughts. The V3 brake and throttle response does leave lots of time on the track, for me.
I never got used to my V3's, beautifully made and I liked the clutch pedal, however I tried some different options and found that I much preferred the CSL Elite V2's. Not so pretty and no adjustment to the pedal throw, but if they suit they have a much more precise brake pedal. It's so easy & quick to adjust the elastomer stack, much better design. They are also very quiet in use. Still got my V3's, but the V2's are much better.
so for my biggest buying point is what most ppl dont want , that they´re not 90° i like my pedals way more flat an an angle . maybe that depends on knee issues and injuries i had, but i had other pedal in heusikvelt style and i hated them . i always got pain after 30min driving cause they were in about 90° tilt .
I have the V3 pedals and I am always trying to find an excuse to replace them with something supposedly better, but seriously, I just cannot find enough reason to do so.
If I can get these used on eBay for like 300$ would you say it’s worth it over a brand new set of v2s for 300$? I really want the vibration motor cause I wanna play in socks and I’ll really feel it (hopefully) and I don’t play competitively, I play for it to be realistic, so vibrating brake and throttle would be really really good in my opinion but I’ve never owned pedals that vibrate ! So looking for opinions or info
Hi...great video!! Only one question.. What are the games that support the shakers on the pedals?! I mostly play ACC and Iracing on PC but i m not sure if they support it Thanks for the reply Saluti dall Italia
