Ricmotech Load Cell Mod For The T500RS Pedalset by The Simpit 

OK so here is my review! Have had my t500rs for 2 days. First wheel I pretty much ever used but I played GT and Forza series quite a lot with sticks. Been playing since GT2 and the first Forza. And WOW. Just WOW. OHHH how I wished I would have bought this years ago!!! But immediately I could tell I did not like the brakes and the spring distance measuring bs because JUST as he says in the video it is NOT like a car at all. Lucky for me I had ordered this mod and it was waiting, ready to go in after about 30 minutes of stock pedal use LOL. First impressions where worrisome at first because it felt so damn hard but almost immediately I became used to it and man it completely filled the void of immersion that the stock brakes where giving me. Now after a day it is just sublime. Push too hard and it locks up exactly like it would in real life! I cannot get enough of just doing time attacks on Assetto Corsa. I find myself just repeating over and over the same car and same track just because I want to master ever corner a bit better!!! Nothing will get your adrenaline pumped while sitting on your ass, not moving like a proper sim setup. I am sold!

awesome !! been waiting for this, good work.

Great review Shaun!

Great video...never heard of this mod before, so it was definitely something to know! On a side note, why do guys insist on doing what ISR does...by putting your Channel Name (The Simpit) in the TITLE of your Video? When it says/references the channel name (The Simpit) right under the title? That's wasted space that can be better used for video optimization...IMHO!

Thanks, super usefull information

Great review. Just one thing about the video, the volume level really dropped off at the end, might want to look into that. Keep up the great work Shaun!

I only just got into iRacing... I can see myself going poor from sheer fun...

Thanks!

Can the load cell kit be used for normal T3PA, the one from T300 alcantara/GT edition?

Hi shaun, could we see a comparison review between CSR and T500 Wheels, thanks.

Are these Compatible with the Thrustmaster 458 Italia Xbox 360 wheel? Not the TMX version with the silver insert but the black insert?

For that price, might as well get a Fanatec pedal set

Shaun, do you always wear shoes when you race? I find they give a lot less feel.

I wish there was just a little bit more travel. I'm curious about any other kind of material to use instead of the yellow bushing to make it lighter.

i got the cls fanatec lc at the moment i want to upgrade to inverted this option looks good too way cheaper than fanatec inverted

is there a way to make this work with standalone t3pas?

Gotta love this background reggae music.

What about for the T3PA is it worth it ???

are there any cheaper load cells?

Getting one of these this week for $100. Feels like a much better price.

if these go 190 dollars, why not just get the fanatec csr elite pedals instead, its not like you cant reverse mount them either

How Works with xbox one?

hey can any1 tell me how to make it

Shaun, how does this Ricmotech mod compare to Bodin? Thanks.

Hmm I'm kinda used to the standard T500 pedals now, would 'relearning' this take ages? My main gripe with the T500 is the fan on the wheel base being soooo damn noisy!

Just found one of those load cells in some second hand t3pa pro pedals i found lmao

$190? I'll just buy CSR Elites...

Do they have a load cell for PS4 T500 setup?

ok, is a fanatec elite paddels cheaper ?

Dear customers, Thrustmaster is trying to get away from their responsibilities about their products even thought the warranty is still valid. On september 2014 i bought a T500 RS and four months later it stopped working properly. Not only the company didn't solve the problem but also insist on telling me i should contact my retailer, who merely sells the product, made in China and sold in Brazil, and has no responsibility for any problems it may present. Considering there is no technical assistance in Brazil, the company should replace the damaged product for a new one, which they refuse to do even after many emails sent .

Fanatec csl elite is really bad pedals I had them and they snapped from moderate use and the customer service was really shocking

Lol, what an overprice piece of kit. Seriously? t3pa-pro costs 150$.. then 100$ for this mod? with this few parts in a nylon bag? wow, one has to be stupid to buy into that.. for that kind of money you can get Fanatec V3 pedals.
