Thrustmaster TLCM Review - New USB Load Cell Pedals 

I've bought the logitech g29 had it 3 months and am sticking coz I can't find any fault with them brilliant driving with American truck sim on a one and a half thousand journey at the moment

Just ordered some. Can't wait to see em.

I'm definitely considering these now. I find T-GT was overpriced because of the pedals that come with it. But if they include these with T-GT for the upcoming GT7 then I'm sold!

Price wise, they are exactly where I am comfortable. I like what I see. I hope someone makes a durometer kit for this pedal set. Extra stiff durometers would probably give the desired stiffness.

Thank you for nice short video that gets to the points fast.

Nice job on the review Dan. I have to be honest though. At that price point, I'd still have to recommend the Fanatec CSL Elite LC over these. With the exception with console users who already use a Thrustmaster wheel.

I don't care about thrustmaster but am glad for every product they offer for sim racing and this is a welcomed development

Hello, I have a T300RS Gt edition wheel along with T-LCM pedals. I use the pedals with the Usb cable, so they are connected to the computer separately. Until today, my pedals were working just fine with the calibration tool. But when I opened the calibration tool today, I realised that the pedals were no longer working. I checked all softwares including the software of the wheel, deleted and re-installed them but nothing worked. I even connected the pedals to the wheel to see if it works, but it didn't. Later, I asked some of my friends who use the same pedals. One of my friends have the exact same problem and he also has a T300RS Gt edition wheel. 2 of my other friends had no issues. I asked one of them to send me the calibration tool that he uses, and when I opened it I realised that the versions are different though it is the same .exe file. His tool is version 2.00, and everything is working fine. Mine is 1.82, and the pedal doesn't work, and the serial number of my pedal is not correctly written on the bottom left of the tool. His software also has the serial number written correctly. Previously, my serial number was also visible on the bottom left, and apparently that has also disappeared. Right now, the pedals are not working and I am not able to use it, neither does my friend with the same wheel. How can this problem be fixed? I am sending two pictures to show you the previous state of the tool and the current one. Previously (when it was working without issues) : i.hizliresim.com/AqmGSt.jpg Current: i.hizliresim.com/rbyWYH.png

Thanks for the review Dan, I think I will take the punt and go for a set of these. Subbed.

thanks for covering if they could be used standalone. That was my main question, and you answered it.

The pedals move due to the metal pin holding the pedals is mounted through plastic

You have the Best sim racing reviews man! Thank you

Great review as always Dan. I think it is great more manufactures are stepping up the game and offering cheaper options.

In short: First loadcell kit from thrustmaster These pedals are not made to replace other loadcell pedal systems, rather introduce thrustmaster wheel base users to the loadcell experience even if they don't race on the pc platform. Compared to other thrustmaster first party options, nothing beats the t-lcm. Compared to other loadcell pedals, sure, there are better options, but if you're looking for a set of pedals that works out of the box on consoles with your favorite thrustmaster wheel and you want the best possible performance, this is the pedal to get.

Really nice video. I just love how you said to update the pedals

Great review, thanks a lot!

i'd like to hear your thoughts on "is simracing equipment overpriced in general?" you could also make a video about that

man all that plastic, is there a way to mod these into t3pa pro's? great review

Great video! I own a set of Clubsport v3's but your content is great. The white socks had me cracking. If you get the chance can you do a video on how the Accuforce on the GT1 evo as far as installation and flexing? Thank you.

Great review Dan, thanks 👍🏻

Im trying to decide if I want to find these, or spend the extra money on the Fanatec Club Sport v3 set. Im eventually going to get a Direct Drive, but that is down on my list after a proper rig, shifter, and maybe hand brake. I think my first upgrade will be pedals, hence why Im here.

"only 12 bits - which is higher than data throughput of some high end simsetups in a whole (wheel, pedals, shifters, brakes, displays, button boxes work on 10bit combined very often :D). You can put everything on very slow PS4 USB (100Hz) and it will still have more than enough to update everything faster than hardware allows it. I guess it's a next step from "audiovoodoo" -> cables at least $2500/ft and hardware connected to 100x faster than needed ports.

Nice review man ! Can you tell me the brake force you choice on driver setting ? 100% i cant reach all what im suppose . I run 80% brake force with black and grey spring

Good review. Well done!

when I saw you pressing the brakes all the way, with two red springs, holy moly. What did you do to your left leg?

Great video man, thanks so much!

Hi dan. What are you up to?

It's about time. Now, maybe they'll release a direct drive wheel?

Just got these and although I am able to calibrate them just fine (0-100% for all 3 pedals), the brake pedal only registers about 9% braking force when in game. When I plug it directly in to the wheel it works fine. Anyone who can tell me what I am doing wrong?

What if I want to use them on console and o don’t have a PC how I’m I supposed to calibrate the pedals before using them un pS4? Thank you

The internal attachment for the peadls is a not so robust plastic, it should be thicker, wider and metal...this would make it not move side to side flexing out of the box. i want a little adjustable nuematic action on the gas too. 😙 200$ is too much for me to jump from my t3pa with brake resistor mod and option for thicker gas pedal spring... ill grab em for 120 on a sale in year from now i imagine...🤔

3:30 I recognise that dashboard from SimHub!

Can this pedals only attach Also to the console to work or do you have to attach them to the engine base?

If I take a small cat and tuck it under the back of the brake pedal, will it provide extra feel and stiffness? I just got a bit of whining. Thoughts?

Good review. I'm a Thrustmaster user (TS-PC, TH8A) but am not impressed with the look of these "premium" pedals. Not that it matters, as I already own Fanatec V3's (didn't like Thrustmaster's other pedals either). I do like the Sparco handbrake/shifter and would like to know if there are any plans to bring out a DD wheel, as that is something I would like to get at some point in the not too distant future.

These are cool however; I will have to pass on them for now. These took so long to come forth that my current TM Gear is now already “Modded to the Hilt”!

Great review

TLCM , Brakeforce Settings help. Hi, I have set Brakeforce at 0 on tlcm. But i still find it too hard to get desired braking. i would prefer for it to be easier than 0 to get 100% braking. Is there a way to reduce this below 0 or change any other setting, so i have to press the brake with lesser pressure/force to get up to 100% braking....? Thanks.

Can you do a review of those socks? @2:15

For the re-calibration of brakes every time springs are changed does that include for console use too or just for PC Sims ? for example Fanatec CSL Elite LC used on console are set to automatic calibration so what's missing in these TM pedals that this isn't also the case ?

Amen, hate my v3 heel plate, makes heel and toe tricky if you incline them

How does it compare with fanatec v3 pedals? Is worth paying extra for fanatec or would you choose tlcm?

I need these pedals. What is the highest quality TM wheel that is compatible with both PS4 and PC?

Great video as always buddy, well done :-) I notice that everyone seems to be switching to the red springs on every review that I've seen so far, very interesting.

Didn't you also make a video on a leaked picture 3 weeks ago? They sent you that box pretty fast to give a good review. I want one too and I'll give an honest review

What size is that monitor on that rig?

i miss this guy. are you ok?

Thats cool. So im curios. Whats the comparison between a high end load cell and this one. For 200 bucks its not that crucial I just was wondering. I like that thrust master isnt really seeking out to soak us for all or money. I would like some better peddles but mine still work really good and I really cant buy all that cause it'll be ridiculous expensive.

A off subject question. What PC power setup are you using? Will it run Project Cars2?

Can I use them with my g920 on Xbox? 😅✌️

using Dad socks on a high end sim rig is my muse

You're cockpit is Sim Lab GT1-Evo. Isn't it?

Can you review a AZRACING formula cockpit?

What happened to this channel? Is it dead? I really liked its content :(...

Fanatec cal elite LCs over these. But if the fanatics are out of stock these are a good option.

nice review

Can you use thrustmaster tlc m pedals with logitech g920?

wonder when TF they'll ship the first orders.... I've pre ordered them immediately and been waiting ever since ... come on Thrustmaster move! :D

Are those added support extrusion and plates to the uprights on your rig? I don't see them in the videos that you had previously done.

Would you use these pedals over your fanatec v3 pedals?

12:00 Is that a Renault V6 Turbo F1 engine?

its all on a plastic hinge inside folks! simgarage did a teardown...

What monitor is that you're using?

Very good vidéo. I've only one question : 16 or 12bit... Are you notice changes if your on USB or RJ12 on the base ? It's a game changer or dificult to see any differences. I have a PS4/PC and It's more easy to use the RJ12 directly from the wheel base. Can you help me please to know if any differences are noticeable ? Thank you

I take this review and all the ones coming out the day they officially announced it with a grain of salt because they sent you and the others a free set so you won't say what you really think of them.

I am using the g920 for more than 4 years and I am really happy with it, but I'm thinking about buying the ( tx leather ) , so is there any better option ?? for 600$ and less

Is it just plug and play on pc? Or do you have to install a software I’m going to use it with my g29

Are these made out of pot metal? or cheap type metal? or does it feel really solid well made. They are not available here in the west coast USA.

I ordered these and they come in soon. You said we need to update before use.....is it possible to just plug and play? I dont have a computer.

Does it have pedal feedback?

after seeing this review i bought the pedals to go with my g920 wheel, my win 10 pc didn't find the correct drivers , in device manager it shows "sim pedals" with no driver found, even windows update cant find any and there are none on the thurustmaster site, did yours install the drivers? i am still waiting (5 days) for a reply from their support and the phone support just don't answer, what a let down :(

If I already ahve a set of Fanatec CS V3's, but use a T300RS base, should I get the T-LCM's?

imagining they'd cost the same ; would you get the csl elite or those fanatec?

I was thinking to buy CSL ELITE LC pedals, but now I have seen this new pedals. Do you prefer CSL or Thrustmaster? (CSL cost 260€)

is it better than the fanatec csl elite loadcell pedals?

Would you prefer a fanatec v3 or the tm set? I’m looking to buy a set but don’t know which one

Curious to know what cockpit you are using

man all that plastic, is there a way to mod these into t3pa pro's?

wow, so you could use them with Logitech G27?

Can you invert these pedals?

I wish we could put the Loadcell pedal on the left side, so there is more space between the Brake and Trottle for F1 racing. The only reason i will not buy it

Is there any flex during driving ? I very tempted to get these.

If you use these on a console, DONT connect the USB, You dont need it and it will cause throttle input issues!

2:29 Cheat Code: sticky socks….ex: Hospital socks/ Old People socks/ trampoline socks. You’re welcome.

Want to connect your pedals to a rig like most pedals have out of the box? NOPE! That will cost you extra your you should drill your own holes and figure it out. GENIUS move Thrustmaster

How long untill they broke?? Seriously real question

How is this load cell? range of motion is huge. I mean, sure it is, looks weird though.

That price is everything.

are they a worth upgrade from logitech pedals?

Thustmaster and their plastic addiction.... The basplate ist plastic....whyy

9:24. Nope. I went from a BenQ XL2411 Z 144Hz monitor using a dual link DVI and set it to 244Hz on all games. I went to s 60Hz Dell ultra wide and I didn't see any difference. Come at me with your bashing not taking into account that everybodies eyes are different like some people are colour blond it some people's vision isn't as good as others. Just because you notice a difference it does not mean everybody else will.

CSL Elite LCs way better in every way in my opinion and in alot of objective ways. Ive used both. CSL's are sleeker, ALL metal, more accurate to the actual size of a wilwood race car pedal kit, can be inverted if your handy, and more comfortable to me and I where 11-11.5 size shoe. The T-LCM are big, bulky, ugly as all hell, mostly plastic, and have a terribly thin plastic pivot design for the pedals that have insane insane amounts of flex and are just dying to break. Even in this video you can see the pedals going left and right when you're using them. Them claiming a lifetime of use with these 1.5-2mm thick plastic tab pivot is hilarious. I mean seriously, what kind of engineering team makes a load cell pedal that is made for high braking force and they choose to pivot the single highest stress point with 2mm thin dinky plastic tabs on each side. I think thrustmaster makes good wheels for the money but these new pedals to me are just...yuck. I mostly Sim on my PC Rig But with Gran Turismo 7 coming out I might have to bring out my old T300 and modded T3PAs or get these unfortunately...unless Polyphony Digital will provide support more usb pedals and a proper calibration system with a LINEAR Throttle response unlike GT Sports insane Gamma curve where when you push your throttle 85% of the way you at 50% input in the game, giving you 10-15% of throttle throw left to deal with the last 50% of half to full throttle. GENIUS! No wonder everybody spins out and cant control there cars worth shit online because its applied that way to the controllers as well. Anyways...

Its Thrustmaster it will break at some point. i have had 4 Thrustmaster wheels, 3 T300rs and 1 TS-PC Racer all had problems.. Now i got Fanatec no problems at all.. Sorry to say Thrustmaster are crap..

Nice cheap copy of the CSL elite pedals with LC

Great review

man all that plastic, is there a way to mod these into t3pa pro's?
