Regarding our noted discrepency in the manual related to the elastomer stack configuration, Heusinkveld have gotten back to us with the following: "It is an mistake in the product manual, which we will correct as soon as possible. All the illustrations simply show one spacer too few. It is therefore correct that the Sim Pedals Sprint brake pedal is delivered with 3 spacers and 28mm soft elastomer in the default setting. For use with the 19mm elastomers, 4 x 10mm spacers are required. Since printing the manual, an additional 5mm spacer has been added for even more versatility."

@smoothopsgp3994 2 года назад

I'm glad I saw this bit about the extra spacer. It was the deciding factor for me. Just purchased through your link buddy :) Goodbye V3s, you served me well.

@willsutton9954 Год назад

oh, my redline Sprints are getting a bit soft in the pedals and just looked and I have only 3 hard spacers . Heusinkveld didnt think it was important to let its customers know? You would think you would have an option to purchase new elastomer's ? At the moment I cant locate my spacers and elastomers so have contacted Heusinkveld asking can I buy a set. Will wait and see what there reply is. btw: my brake got a horrible squeak but thankfully I got a can of WS40 Dry Ptfe...one spray and it worked magic

@nickfleury9764 2 года назад

I am obligated to mention, Heusinkveld customer service is simply incredible! I once broke the board with the connector for the USB cord. 100% stupidly my fault, admitted that to Heusinkveld while asking about the possibility of purchasing a replacement board, and they refused to take my money and sent me a replacement free of charge! Not only that, they sent with 2 day shipping to the States! And the modular design of the electronics made it so incredibly easy to fix. I wish they would make a direct drive wheel, I'd wager it would be the best on the market. 😏

@remonragheb5159 2 года назад

One thing needs to be mentioned that their customer service goes above and beyond. I bought this pedals 2nd hand with 1 month left in warranty. I contacted them as I didn’t have the small wrench’s that comes with the kit as I needed to adjust the placement of the pedals. Enzo was more than happy to send me the missing wrench’s without asking any questions! Unfortunately they sent me the Allen keys instead of the requested wrench’s. They arrived super fast in 2 days and I live in the US. I emailed him again about the incident didn’t expect he would even care to read my mail but boy I was wrong! 2 days later they sent me a whole box full of accessories that includes the wrench’s! One of the best if not the best customer service I dealt with.

@gabebutler5503 2 года назад

I'll definitely agree with you here. I too bought a used set of Sprints that were missing some of the spacers and elastomers. Sent them an e-mail, had a response within literally 5 minutes, an order created within 15 minutes and had the parts a few days later. Order placed on a Friday and parts arrived on Monday. I'm in the US. Just insane customer service. Went from V3's to these and couldn't be happier. I've had them about 2 months and no issues at all so far. The software is excellent. Took me about a week to dial them in to where I'm very comfortable with both software and mechanical adjustments(Yeah, slow learner, I know). Really can't go wrong with these.

@Desert_Spec 2 года назад

I upgraded from G27 pedals to HE sprints late last year. One thing I learnt is that the brake modulation you can get from these compared to G27 pedals introduces a whole new way of controlling the vehicle while under braking and mid corner. It did take me a good 5 hours to get my old G27 lap times back lol but now my lap times are more consistently fast then ever.

Im thinking about upgrading to heusinkveld sprint from g29 pedals.

@Desert_Spec 2 года назад

@@simonbruhn8062 Do it! My old and trusty G27 setup lasted me for 8+ years so I stand by their products for that reason, especially for people wanting to learn/start off in sim racing. The HE Sprints though are in a whole different league and their construction is comparable to some real world pedal boxes I've used. If you are still using the G29 wheel though, I feel as if that would be worth upgrading first as wheel feedback is ever so slightly more important than braking feel. Either way though, I can can guarantee every part of you will love it, maybe except for the wallet :)

@jonneymendoza 2 года назад

What did you mount yours on? Do you have a cockpit? Wheel stand?

@nukedogger86 Год назад

Exactly my path and probably time. January '14 I got my G27, in like June '16 I modded them, removed from the case, custom wood pedal box, inverted, and the gteye brake spring, then swapping the rest out in line. Picked up the new pedals yesterday locally on sale, then ordered the rest of my rig online... wish I would have 2 weeks ago since I have all this week off of work... oh well.

No offense….but you went from a childrens toy to a serious sim pedal kit. It should be night and day better.

@slatanek 2 года назад

I'm on my second set of these (had to sell the first one due to financial reasons) and can absolutely recommend them. Adjustments a plenty, compact size, great build quality, great understated looks, great software, reliable. I can't actually name one thing that would bother me with those. They hold their value too, so even if you don't like them and have to sell them after a while you'll still get good money for them. The base plate is not necessary if you have a rig like the SimLab ones where you have a proper pedal plate already - just screw them on and you're good to go. Edit: racing boots highly recommended if you wanna get the max out of these (the pedal plates edges feel sharp on bare feet. Note they are not sharp at all and you definitely won't cut your hand on them while handling, just the feeling while pressing with your bare feet)

@cutpriceracing 2 года назад

Nice in depth review. I have the non redlihe version. Owned 6 months now probably 10-20hrs per week use. Brake is excellent no probs. Throttle has required lubrication. Clutch became noisy within a few weeks. I have had to add a rubber sleeve to the rod inside the spring to stop the spring knocking. I've also had to ensure there was reasonable pre load. At light/low preloads problems occur. Tightening the rotation points and lubing it seems to resolve things. One note is that it seems almost impossible to buy a replacement clutch as a spare from at least one of the disties here in aus, and HE are also reluctant and wouldn't sell me one as a spare after asking more than once. No idea why. Unrelated, configuring the brake and clutch inverted with throttle non inverted results in a rj9 lead which is too short and you can't easily buy a cable. An old retro handset cable with an rj45 coupler does the trick though. Hope this feedback is useful.

@boostedmedia 2 года назад

Excellent real world feedback! 🙏 thanks!

@Fuogor 2 года назад

Exact same experience here, except instead of a rubber sleeve on the clutch I just tweaked the setup on it just so. I also did have to get a new load 1kg load cell for it at one point, and HE support staff was amazing through the process. Not a perfect product but I still couldn't ask for more given the price they're charging.

@trevorjlewis 2 года назад

I'm also inverted, the throttle R9 gets plugged into the clutch side and clutch wire into the throttle side of the brake mounted PCB. Obviously this shows up in Smart control as arse about face so the clutch animation moves when I depress the throttle etc, but is no biggie as in game they are bound correctly.

@jamalghandour8650 2 года назад

I had the MPPC Pedals, ProSim Pedals, T3PA, Logitech with perfect brake, CSL elites, TLCM, HE Ultimates (not the plus version) before these and this is what I run for more than a year now in my rig. This is bold statement but I can easily say, THIS IS THE PEDALS YOU NEED PERIOD.

@@jamalghandour8650 Can you share your experiences with these pedals comparing to the CSL load cell and TLCM? For the CSL load cell I'm using the max setting (60kg as advertised) and for the TLCM I'm using all the spacers provided with the red and black spring combination in it (100% Brake force in the software). The only concern I'm having is that I'll max out the 65kg brake force.

@jamalghandour8650 2 года назад

@@X13offical The CSL we are talking about is the old version? I have both the old and new, I'm impressed with the brake pedal on the new model (stiff). Both are better overall experience from the TLCM's the only drawback I can think of is with the old CSL elites the pedal is made out of metal rubbing on a plastic gear for the pots this issue is solved with the new version having haul sensors. Some people might like the TLCM's at the hardest setting but still there is a considerable travel on them compared to the CSL's. Overall from the 3 if I had to pick a winner it would be the new CSL for sure.

@ErnieGaming 2 года назад

Really good review. As a former user of the Fanatec CSP v3, i tried the HE Sprint pedals at the SimracingExpo in 2018 and instantly felt in love with these pedals.😍 Right in the moment these pedals became available i ordered a set. In the first months of usage i had a loadcell failure, but this was only an issue with the first batch of the Sprint pedals. But the Heusinkveld support is phenomenal and i had a completely new brake pedal in my hands within a few days.👍 Now ... over 3 years later: Yes, newer revisions of the Sprint pedals are more refined, but my "first-batch-Sprints" still work great and i never regret the switch from the CSP v3.

I've had a set of Sprints for about a year or so, absolute game changer to quote one of your sayings. Changed from Fanatec V2 to the Sprints. Immediate and measurable improvement in stage times in Dirt Rally, also an immediate improvement in frequency of crashes, the level of control with these is off the charts compared to all pedals I have had in the past, from cheapo DFGT plastic pedals, G27s, Fanatec V2. Apart from the DFGT I have always mounted my pedals inverted, the G27s were stripped out of their plastic casing and mounted on my own manufactured rig, the V2's came next and were disassembled and rebuilt fully inverted mounted on a modification to my rig, and finally the Sprints were mounted the same. I found max braking load was 35kg in the Smart Control but this still feels quite a solid push and feels identical to the feel of the proper Ford 909 Group A bias pedal box I had in my Sierra Cosworth Rally car. Can't see me ever needing to upgrade these they do exactly what I need them to do. Cheers for the review Will, basically watched it for your thoughts on them.

@brettdarren8799 2 года назад

Been using these for a year now and these are great, they're a well made set of pedals with enough adjustment to suit pretty much any application and the smart control software is great too. Ive been running the biggest rubber on the brake with maximum pre load on the spring with 65kg force and find that works well for me. Went from logitech g920 to csl lc pedals which werent too bad before getting these and was amazed how much better these were again and how much more consistent my driving became with the sprints. Only a couple of minor issues in a year and each time their customer support responds quickly with a diy fix. They seem to be made that well that if theres any issues they are minor and possibly just how the are configured sometimes but HE have been able to diagnose the problem each time with a quick fix which is great imo as no one wants to pack their gear up and post it off if it can be avoided.

@rudigerstevens123 Год назад

I currently own the CSL LC pedals (but already ordered the sprints). I can imagine that you got more consistent. One big issue with the CSL LC brake pedal is that the load cell is located in the neck of the pedal between the plate and the point where the elastomer stack is attached to it. This means that putting your foot a bit higher on the pedal makes a much larger difference in measured brake force as it does on other LC pedals. So beside muscle memory you also need a good "position memory". Fanatec seems to be aware of that as they changed the design on the CL LC v2 pedals! But too late for me :-)

I've gone from logitech G25 pedals, to doing the pedal mod (the eraser and springs thing back then)to inverting them in my rig, to upgrading to these sprints. Well, the non-team-redline one's... and i absolutely LOVE them. I am however guilty of putting them in the weakest position, but that's due to my irl work, where i stomp on the gas and brakes all day so much that my back already hurts. If these pedals start creaking, tighten up the bolts again, if that doesn't work, use dry grease to lubricate them as per manual.. I've used them A LOT and they are performing wonderfully. Many MANY hours of simracing and trucksimming with these pleasures under my feet. Well done Heusinkveld!

Made some rapid upgrades in 2020 to my pedals going from G29's to Fanatec CS v3's, then attempting to support local with the Simworx GT v3 here in Australia before side grading to the standard version of these Sprints, and they've been flawless after nearly 2 years of racing, with easy initial hardware tweaks and the ease of use with SmartControl to make custom clutch maps to match my most driven cars As much as there are good options that compete and have come out recently, I don't have any compelling reason to consider a switch any time soon, though the HRS pedal faces are definitely on my mind for the looks and to save my poor sock feet from the edges of the pedal faces in the rare moments of heel+toe I do 😅

I do have these (non-Redline) for quite a while and have to say they are great pedals. Totally agree with everything you mentioned. One of my friends purchased the Fanatec V3 pretty much at the same time i got my HE Sprint pedals. His main reason was that he, unlike me, does not have a dedicated Simrig and he would have had to purchase the baseplate in addition to the pedals itself, increasing the price for the 3 pedal set even more compared to the V3. After trying out my HE Sprints he instantly regret he didn´t spend the extra ~260€. Can only recommend these pedals, although i´m staring at the Ultimate+ pedals. I´m just not sure if these are that much of an upgrade to the Sprints so it would justify the 1300€ to upgrade my pedals...

@robwill7434 2 года назад

@roadi7 2 года назад

I added a bolt under the center at the back of the base plate the tightens down to my rig to add rigidity to that area of the base plate as that's where the most force is applied as that's where the break is and the least support exists in the base plate there, whereas the throttle and clutch pedals see less pedal force applied and are on top to the mounting rails underneath and get the most rigid support from the design of the base plate, obviously any tiny bit of movement you can remove the more the pedals will preform ultimately

Haven't used them yet, gotta wait for the new chassis and wheel, but the unboxing and assembly was a show of the quality, these pedals and base are heavy, seriously makes the Logitech's look like a child's toy.

Actual WD-40 or one of their lubricating products? WD-40 itself is NOT a lubricant, in fact it will dry out your rubbers/elastomers and may cause them to prematurely fail depending on what materials they are made from. The WD part of WD-40 stands for Water Displacement and it does pretty much that and that only.

Seeing a number of near new Fanatec CS V3 pedals for sale cpl yrs ago, I enquired and found more than 1 owner was moving to HE Sprints - told me all I needed to know, while $1033AUD for set of pedals sound ludicrous even my wife agreed no point settling at $600 if you're not going to be satisifed - purchased Aug '20 and they are silent & smooth today. Only minor issue is the plastic white bush that centres the throttle rod (inside the spring) in the back keeps coming loose - but doesn't affect use.

@D4N_H1LL 2 года назад

Hi Will, are you able to mount your pedal cam to your rig? Would be nice to see any real world flex which you can’t see due to the motion rig. Otherwise… great review! It’s definitely helped me make my decision on a new pedal set.

@roadi7 2 года назад

I use a brake configuration that's not even in the manual ~ I use 3 spacers then the hardest and then a medium and a short spring throw ...works great

@brulaapgaapmeester8052 2 года назад

Great review, these pedals are kind off the benchmark, however, they may be the quietest pedals they reviewed, but the SRP-pedals (also reviewed) are pretty much silent too.

@boostedmedia 2 года назад

Yep SRP is also very quiet.

@a_single_white_female 2 года назад

1:11:20 You mention the noise is pretty minimal to nonexistant with potentially a slight noise in the brake pedal. I remember seeing in your review of the Ultimates that the throttle pedal had a bit of noise in that model but still very minimal. I currently have the Fanatec Clubsport V3 and the noise it makes when I depress the clutch pedal all the way and then allow it to slap back is quite significant, and has always deterred me from using the clutch in fear of the neighbors hearing me slamming it in and out. If I am in the market for the absolute *quietest* pedals would I be better served by the Sprint or the Ultimates? Being that you have tested both? Or are they very similar to the point that noise is not significantly different between the two? Are both however, quieter than the Fanatec Clubsport V3? Best,

I have a set of Sprint pedals and I accidently stepped on the USB connector on the rear of the pedal. The connector broke but it still functioned properly. I purchased a replacement part from Heusinkveld anyway and it was relatively easy to replace the broken part.

I was afraid of that issue so I bought a new 90 degree angle USB cable , this way the plug doesn't stick out.

I was considering getting the clubsport V3 and then later on upgrading to something like this but now you’ve got me thinking. Your description of the brake pedal feel makes it sound like exactly what I’m after so maybe I should go all out and then not have to upgrade in future 🤔 I do have some overtime coming up, so maybe I can justify it to myself by using that money 😆

@boostedmedia 2 года назад

I certainly wouldn’t encourage anyone to spend beyond their means, especially for playing computer games. But cutting out the baby steps might save you some money if this is where you’ll ultimately end up anyway.

The coating is conformal coating common on pcbas that will be exposed to moisture to prevent corrosion of the components connection to the board. Costs pennies to apply, but many drop that for cost reduction. Almost lost my job once after insisting on keeping the coating in a paintball loader pcba.

I skipped these and went to Simtrecs Pro pedals, and do wonder if they are worth the increase in price because one thing I found is while there is a huge jump from logitech to Fanatec V3s, there is not nearly as much of a jump from V3s to Simtrecs. I am very happy with my Simtrecs but they cost a small fortune shipped to USA

@joshfarrow2675 2 года назад

Good video I needed this as looking at upgrading from fanatec v3s. Does anybody know if the changes in the software are saved into the pedals or if the software needs to be running? I'm playing GT7 a lot recently and want to try and use these with drive hub but if my settings require the software running I don't think it'll be possible. I know the fanatec stuff savings the settings in the wheel base so you can make changes on pc and it carrys over to console.
