So I got the bfelectronics T3PA Pro Load Cell kit. I must say that I really like it. Has it made me a better Sim Racer? Well, I consider myself a Sim Enthusiast, not quite a Sim Racer, yet. This is a secondary hobby to me. An experienced Sim Racer once told me that the only thing that can make one a better Sim Racer is “Seat Time”! Anyway, to compare the bfelectronics T3PA Pro Load Cell kit to the Ricmotech or Bodin T3PA Pro Load Cell kits. Well, the Ricmotech & Bodin kits provide a stiff pedal post installation (like pushing on a wall), with some dead zone upon initial pedal depression. The bfelectronics T3PA Pro Load Cell kit provides use of almost all of the original T3PA Pro brake pedal throw, a slightly stiffer pedal feel (compared to the original feel before installation), and you can dial in your desired level of sensitivity, or dead-zone. Lastly, you will have to get used to the amount of pressure you apply to your brake, there will be no Brake Mod crutch to save you from brake lockup. After installing the bfelectronics T3PA Pro Load Cell kit, you will not be able to use your Thrustmaster Compression Spring or Conical Rubber Brake Mods, if you wanted to. The bfelectronics T3PA Pro Load Cell kit feels good, it was easy enough to install, and I am happy with my purchase. Cheers!

For me also the cheap 3drap mod made a HUGE difference. But with a brake this strong in my opinion you also need to upgrade the gas and clutch pedals because with shoes I couldn't feel those two
Instead of all that time and laborious stuff, (speaking of that) do you see that bubble wrap that came with the "mod"? I just "STUFF" that stuff in my pedals at different densities and amounts and create the same linear effect. (I have been for 1 1/2 years) Obviously, I don't do that on my way more expensive PC rig. I "rig" up better "stuff" on my real rig but, just stuffing different bubble wrap....uh....uh...."wraps" up the time on spent on my reasonably priced T3PA pedals. (Which, I wish I hadn't put in F1 style from purchase) ;)
Looks interesting. If it also works with a T300RS and PS4Pro I might get one and try it. One concern I would have though is a very heavy brake pedal slows me down sometimes, I removed my conical brake mod recently so I could brake faster for time trial record chasing on Dirt Rally 2.0. I also found some vehicles on GT Sport very difficult to drive fast with a heavy brake pedal force.
Given that there's already been a review of it on this channel, I really would have liked to have seen a comparison to the Ricmotech load cell mod. How would you say this compares? Any different/better/worse performance?
so, aside from how they measure diffrently. how does the same 2 springs become 5x heavier under braking? is it because the Load cell Mod compresses them alot more at a resting state?
@Shambles1980TRealOne - Yes it is 3D printed, however, until Thrustmaster gives us new pedals with Load Cells, the Modder Community is all that we have. As far as the price, compared to the Load Cell Mod solutions from simracingsolutions (£99.99), Bodin ($99.99), & Ricmotech ($169.99), the bfelectronics Pro Loadcell Kit (US$100.00) is not too bad. Further, it comes with something that those others do not, a dial for sensitivity and/or dead-zone. Lastly, I am a confirmed customer, and I can confirm for you that I can brake better now than I ever could with my potentiometer-based sensor. No, 3D Printed Mods may not be beautiful. Quality of finish on 3D printed parts vary. However, the device is there to provide functionality. All that I can add at this point is that I am happy with my purchase. Cheers!
@Shambles1980TRealOne - I can only agree with part of that statement. I do not have a 3D printer, the knowledge, or desire to do this myself. I could have built my home, my vehicle, and I could Doctor on myself. Yes, those are extreme examples, but you know what I am saying. I do not mind spending money on things that other people build (as you see). If you built something that I liked & wanted, I would pay you too. I totally get what you are saying. However, in the end, life is short, I can afford it, and I am VERY happy with my purchase. Nevertheless, I heard your point clearly.
I need this before I go crazy and drop serious dime on Fanatec setup. Too bad they are out of stock and appear to have not updated their page in a long time.
so does this still use the original poteniometer also? like the black gear cog? i got a set with broken throttle pot cog and wanna get loadcell for brake and use the cog from it on the gas pedal to fix,
He guys, i have a question is the thrustmaster t-lcm pedal set same good ass the T3pa pro whit load cell mod? They have both loadcells. I dont have the knowledge ore the space and equiptment to mod the T3pa pro. i Just order the thrustmaster tx leather edition that comes whit the T3Pa. and i maybe go upgrade it some day later.
Decent looking loadcell though that 3D printed case for it is terrible quality. Would be great if I could print it out myself and apply parts. I do like the use of the quick connectors though :)
Just ordered my 30kg kit. Bill reckons about 2 weeks. The 50kg kit (that Shaun wasn't supposed to mention lol) are about 4 weeks away. Bill seems like a top bloke. He responded to my email very promptly and was very reasonable in his response, as well as very honest as to what I should expect.
@Shambles1980TRealOne Not really. Marketing, designing, compatibility, paying employees and the extremely limited market for high end driving simulator pedals. Thank you for reading my comment on a reply after 4 months. That shows you the small market in "literal" reality.
@Shambles1980TRealOne Now you have annoyed me. I have spent and own 100 times more equipment for driving sims than you. I was purchasing them before you were born. I'm 100% sure of that. The average meat bag doesn't even know what a load cell is. They say....are there pedals? Oh...cool. That's crazy. Now, your talking to someone with a hydraulic rig and load cells up the Yin Yang. High end driving or flight sim shit isn't where the profit is. If you owned a successful business, like I do and spent money on frivolous shit like I did, instead of giving the money to charities, then you'd actually have a minuscule idea about how the real world works. The profit margin and demand on high end pedals isn't enough for any company to sell these on a mass scale. A load cell would impact sales in almost no manner whatsoever. Take the load cell CSL Elite kit from Fanatec......it is 155.43 USD without shipping or tax and requires the Elite Pedals. The Ricmotech is 139.99 USD plus shipping and Tax. THAT IS MORE THAN THE THRUSTMASTER T3PA GOD DAMN PEDALS COST! T3PA PRO LOAD CELL IS 169.99 PLUS SHIPPING AND TAX! -Stop already. Get your head out if your ass. Now, if you say, "The cost to them is pennies." First of all, BS. Second of all, even if it was, ask yourself why they charge that much. Humans aren't beating their meat to buy these and they must be hugely marked up.
we must be able to install it but as we do not have the same spring (in L) there is a risk of touching on dois pouvoir l'installer mais vue que l'on a pas les même ressort ( en L ) il y a un risque de toucher
Surprised they didn't even sand it smooth or anything. Left it raw 3d printed. They need to check into injection molding or a cast or cnc. 3d printing is prototyping
3d printing in general is good enough in terms of looks. This one just looks like they have broken or not calibrated printer, bad filament or they dont know how to print. With this quality it should be free to download.
Thrustmaster have left their loyal customers for dead, I started with the TX wheel base and wheel with the T3pa pedels, but have moved onto the Fanatec drirect drive Podium DD1 and Fanatec pedels, it a pity Thrustmaster has not developed a direct drive wheel base, it is being left behind
That is a great deal, if you are ready to switch ecosystems. I do not recommend mixing ecosystems (mixing Fanatec & Thrustmaster hardware), because it wreaks havoc with button mappings in most games.
I believe that the TGT and the T300 GT are sold with the regular T3PA pedals. This mod is for the T3PA Pro Pedals. I believe that you will need the regular Thrust-master T3PA load-cell kit. more information about those are on the BF Electronics website. Cheers!
@@MrThamahn They are not regular T3PAs. You can even see a pic of all three of them in this video at 0:44. Those ones on the left are the ones that come with the TGT and the T300 GT. The ones on the right are "regular" T3PAs.
@@hueysharapova7175 What are the differences between the standard T300 and the T300 GT Edition pedals? You get the 3-pedal T3PA set with "New Pedal Faces"… And that’s it. Visually, the new pedal faces are a nice upgrade from the standard T3PA faces, with clean lines and brushed aluminum. I understand the mix-up, however, Shaun does state that this mod is for the T3PA Pros (0:48).
@@MrThamahn I mean yea, it is true that the only thing different is pedal faces, but by that logic, wouldn't everything be compatable with all 3? The "Pro" set is just a backing mount for inverted. Regular T3PAs can actually be inverted, but you can't swap the pedals left to right. All the third party stuff I see is for regular T3PA and Pro, but the new version is really important because the TGT is the best wheel for Gran Turismo, which happens to be the only racing game with an online community, and the T300 GT is just a great deal right now assuming it doesn't break.
