Great to see a company take the time to make an in depth how to use pedal video, other companies no names should take note! My pedals arrive tomorrrow. So looking forward to getting them setup.😁
Just got my VRS 2-pedal set on Christmas and I immediately fell in love a second time with them when unboxing them and checking all the mechanical adjustment possibilites ... I adore the engineering . First time I fell in love was on the SimExpo2022 in Nürnberg after trying them out at the stand of Bavarian Sim Tec (I also tried Heusinkveld Sprint/Extreme and SimuCube´s "Ultra-Adjusto-Pedals" and the VRS´s were my personal favorites) . Despite the pedals not being setup to my preferences I immediately felt at home with how they actuated and felt under my feet, they were just butter compared to my abused CSP v3´s . Thanks for the tutorial and your hardware in general, one very happy machine-tooling engineer/customer :)
I just tried my VRS pedals today, didn't have time to set them up properly but I can't wait to drive again, they feel really good and the change from Logitech G923 pedals is incredible
Keep the how to & tips videos coming for both pedals and DD as your products are looking very good. Adding high quality how to & tips videos will only add to the VRS experience so anything to make things easy to understand for customers is a big plus.. love the direction you guys are going.
Just got these installed on my rig. So much better feel and precision than V3s offer. The software was harder than should be to find unless you use discord. I’m just getting used to the blue brake spring and this seems a good start. More travel and harder force than V3s with standard blue spring. The throttle force standard feels great. As hard as V3s. The software seems easy enough to use. You get physical adjustment as well as software adjustment. I’ve gained seconds in the short time using them and consistency. $550ish for V3s & BPK or $750ish for VRS, $200 odd more is a no brainer! Who uses a clutch anyway!
Looking to start upgrading my sim racing setup(long overdue), and as I’ve been doing tons of research on the various avenues I can go in terms of hardware, rabbit hole like any good hobby, after this video and all the countless reviews I’ve seen and read online about the vrs pedals I’m for sure adding these to the rig in the next few weeks. Killer work, and great video going over the various adjustments.
Fantastic video David. I was lucky enough to be one of the first on the list and just want to share that they are miles ahead of my old V3s and Sprints. Now i am just hoping for some VRS ACC guides ;)
Great detailed video. Tho I think most would prefer if they shipped with the red spring installed or give the user the option to choose during checkout.
I have a set of these on order but I don’t actually really understand what any of these adjustments do in terms of how they translate to real life feel or when you would do one adjustment vs another. It’s actually a little daunting to play with these as there are so many adjustments. Any resources that offer a more basic explanation as to what each adjustment actually does?
Guys PLEASE! when explaining how to adjust the tie rods make sure to mention that the nut closest to the pedal loosens the normal way (counterclockwise) but the other nut needs to be turned the opposite way (clockwise)! Honestly, how are we supposed to know if we're not familiar with tie rods. Alternatively, please provide a manual.
@@gpellis did you loosen the tie rod before taking the spring out then after just tighten back up thinking of putting the red in from the start,thanks.
@@adambuzzeo me too!.... First the clevis end wasn't going in and seating....... Flipped it 180 then it popped into place...... Had to Preload the rod a bit and jiggle the pin a bit and it went thru!..... Slapped the clamp back into place and DONE!.....😉 No bloody fingers either!.....😊
What is the withe rod with the two black spacers good for? First I thought they are bump stops but they don't touch the orange stopper rod. It's on all three pedals. No clue what its good for
While adjusting the position of the new product, the white part in front of the load cell of the accelerator was slightly scratched, and there was a sensor problem. Is there any way~? It was the first time...
I have these pedal sets, and I'm desperately trying to alter the second stage point on the clutch. Is that possible? because out of box, the second stage (the feeling of drop in force needed) is at the near end of the travel (final 95%) which is not realistic at all.. You explained the adjustments for the clutch on your video but you never mentioned what those adjustments results as feeling in real life driving?
I am putting rumble motors on all 3 pedals I think I will leave the settings for feeling to those!...... However I always like a stiff feeling clutch to begin with!
Did you ever figure this out? I'm wondering if the load cell needs to be lowered a bit to cause the cam action to occur sooner in the pedal curve. Like you, I find the out of the box feel to be very baised to the last bit of travel.
@@adambuzzeo I have my rig but I prefer to invert mount my pedals I have a floor plate for my feet to rest on with a small piece of carpet as i race in my socks, (no shoes worn inside my home!).....I had a plate made from .120" T6 Aluminum to invert mount the pedals to, that way I can just remove the plate for adjustments needed for the track I'm running at (NASCAR Modifieds and Truck Series) and in place for pedal location adjustments (seldom adjust that anymore!) I find that invert mounting makes it easier to keep things clean in the foot well area as well!
If you already have the VRS Direct Force Pro wheel base (Like I do) than you already have it! just update your software as there are many new adjustments/fixes to the original!
Update from May 8th: "I expect us to send some invitations for the US pedals reservations this weekend and more throughout next week. We finally had all the components checked into inventory in our US warehouse today (Friday). We'll expect to have another small batch in EU before the end of May with a bigger batch in EU and US in June and then more in July. Australia may get just a handful of units before the end of May with more in June and July."
You can limit the travel with the adjustable red stand-off. This will in turn limit how much the pedal force drops off past the peak. Remember to recalibrate once you're done (you can also increase the upper deadzone).
@@realVRS How do I adjust the "bite point" effect? Right now it feels like it happens at the very end of the pedal travel, just as it hits the red stand off. I want it to happen much sooner in the travel range if that's possible.
I am loving my pedals and my only real complaint is that purple spring for the clutch. Is there a black, red, or even orange to match more? I know it's not that important as the feel is more important thing.
I ended buying the vrs pedals. They are a bit of a struggle as it looks, but hopefully you aren’t going to change the regulations more than a couple of time. I really don’t like the fact you need a pair of Allen keys for almost anything but the pedals are pretty awesome.
Not currently but there are plans. They're compatible with many other base plates on the market though - anything with a longitudinal distance between slots of 95-145mm will work.
@@Michelsen3K flex can come from more than just the baseplate, the whole rig can flex if it’s not strong enough. Best bet is to try it and see if it’s up to the job.
@@trevz1048 Hi i just simply screwed the pedals on two layers of wooden plates (about 6-7cm thick together). Then i used black foam like foam imagine you use to protect the floor for homegym. To cover the wood. Glued together with a hot glue pistole. You might think wtf, but it looks very good and stays there for already hundreds of hours.
Yes, we will do once the supply is greater so we can meet the extra demand that may bring :) Dan Suzuki has been using them for several days now though, so I'd recommend checking his Twitch channel to see what he thinks - hint: he likes them ;)
@@oren740 right, if it comes with 2 of each size with purchase, awesome..I know I have a 10mm spanner and a metric range of keys...but 2 of each is hueskinveld money!
That's how it appears with a rodless pedal design. The travel in the spring is in 2 axis, so it needs to be a bit misaligned. It's a small concession to have the low friction of a rodless design. Lots of RND went into that decision.
Thanks for the explanation Keegan. I have the direct force pro wheel base and absolutely love it coming from the Accuforce V1. I assumed there had to be a reason for the spring appearance however it was something that caused me a bit of concern. I guess I’ll order up whenever stock gets in
We've chosen to omit an alignment rod to essentially reduce friction to zero. The spring is well secured at both ends and can tolerate being bent slightly without issue.
@@egames.axel_iracing3669 its a spring, its made out of metal. The point of a spring is to bend and then unbend. It snakes a little, but springs are able to do that. It looks ugly but theres no reason for it to fail being used like this. What do you even mean by failing anyways? You think the spring will shoot out of the pedal? Or it will run out of springyness? Or it will harden and then snap?
The brake pedal adjustment seems so over complicated. I like to be able to adjust my brake travel and resistance between road and race cars, and I dont think I want to more or less de-assemble the whole brake pedal every time.
idk why this video popped up as a suggested video, but it appears piss poor design with no care to type of people in target demographic... young people with money and barely an education much less mechanical knowledge... torque, pressure, friction.... vs muscle strength of quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles.... you just assume your buyers would be able to make adjustments with them holding against those pressures... hand muscle tightening vs leg muscle during use... just saying complete freedom of adjustments vs set angles to help support the nuts and bolts seems INANE...
@@EricGibson1 yes... in no world will your hand muscles ever be stronger then your legs... and the common theme amongst sim racers to press the brake pedal as hard as humanly possible during calibration, i have no doubts, will out do the the pressure and friction keeping those adjustable pedals in their settings... i would put money that the threads will strip before you can generate enough friction to out do your leg strength. AND even if you do generate enough friction, it won't last the more you press the pedal during use.... most often referred to as WEAR AND TEAR on a product. legs are really goddamned strong considering they're holding your mass against gravity your whole damned life while your forearms and wrists aren't...
@@EricGibson1 do you even know what an impact driver is? to make up for lack of torque generation you can't create with your arms... the driver impacts the bolt head over and over to tighten it down.
@@emteehed threads to strip out on what? I have the red spring in mine and I set it max at 100% when I calibrate and no problems. They are built tuff and actually are on par with the Heusink's ultimate+ for a good nit less. There's absolutely zero play in these pedals. I just don't understand what in the world you're rambling on about.
