[swiftwilly]

Anyone know if these pedals can with with Fanatec wheels?

I had my clubsports (load cell keeps breaking) and looking to switch but still like to keep my wheel. Thanks

Haha that's new . Normally people ask about using Fanatec CS pedals with Thrustmaster wheels. Would love to know as well. With enough demand three of the guys that comes into my mind that could help...

@Ricmotech, @JohnBodin or @mrbasher: Do you guys think that's even possible?

These pedals can be used as stand-alone USB pedals for PC use when combined with the Bodinhausen T500RS Pedal Adapter and a Leo Bodnar USB cable (both are available and in-stock at Sim-Sport.net:

EDITED TO ADD: FWIW, I'm working on a load cell mod for the T3PA pedals, which should offer a significant improvement over the conical brake mod.

Thanks. And please let us know when it's ready. Will add it in the OP.

Added in the OP ...

Bodinhausen T500RS Pedal Adapter + Bodnar USB Cable (PC ONLY as a standalone USB pedal set)

Thanks @JohnBodin

Will do!

Thanks @JohnBodin

Note that I updated my comment -- the Bodinhausen + Bodnar Cable solution will ONLY work for PC applications, not for Xbox or PS applications. Just wanted to clarify.

 

[swiftwilly]

@JohnBodin. I am bit confused, do I need to buy both pieces to be used on the PC?

T3PA pro is available in Hong Kong now, I'm the first one to get the pedal, see photos, cheers!

I will take a photo of that thing, I'm still not sure about that but you can see for yourself.

Thanks @LotusTeam for sharing TP3A Pro before Thrustmaster . You can be the first one to provide a review . Seems like double the price of standard TP3A based on the HK website I found. I'm sure a lot of people are very excited about this particularly TX & T300RS owners.

Apart from it T3PA Pro looking much like the T500RS pedals, my one question is, does it come with the conical brake mod?

Is that the thing you guys are talking about? Can somebody teach me how to use it?

The one on the left came with my GT6 T500RS which I had taken out since using @mrbasher brake mod. The one the right looks like conical brake mod first introduced in T3PA. No instructions or manual included?

Yes there was no instruction manual inside, only the diagram of the pedal F1 or GT position, so may be I have to download T3PA manual to see if there is any hints....

 

[LotusTeam]

Oh actually there is a T3PA pro manual on Thrustmaster support web now!

Just had a look at the manual on P12 and it seems like the conical brake mod is a pretty great addition to the brake pedals

Depending on the position you have selected, the resistance of the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD will be between 44 lbs / 20 kg (when the mod is farther away from the pedal) and 66 lbs / 30 kg (when the mod is closer to the pedal).

Anyone want to check to see if they have this spare part for sale. Looks like it could work for T500RS owners too.

PS. For those looking for the PDF, it's at the bottom in the OP of this thread.

 

[LotusTeam]

Now the conical rubber brake mod is perfectly aligned on the T3PA pro brake (with longest position 44lbs/20kg force), and I also noticed T3PA pro does not like T500 pedals having a preloaded "pinch-hazard protector" aside to the brake....so quick install and go...easy peacy

@LotusTeam How do you find the deadzone with the pedals? Do you notice any in the first few millimeters of travel, how much do you have to travel before it registers input?

well...you don't need to find the dead zone yourself, take a look at the t3pa pro manual and you will understand, below I quote again inside the manual:

"Depending on the position you have selected, the resistance of the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD will be between 44 lbs / 20 kg (when the mod is farther away from the pedal) and 66 lbs / 30 kg (when the mod is closer to the pedal)."

And it is not the full story yet, actually you can adjust the conical rubber position (distance between it and the pedal) by screwing under its ring, in the photo I just did it by default....that's is what they have calculated about 40lbs/20kg force, you can adjust for your self-preference

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CANT WAIT FOR THESE PRO PEDALS! HELL YES!

OH MAN THIS IS OVERWHELMING! MERiCA!

That is not to do with the dead zone, you need to test yourself to see if your pedals have it. This is issue I mean:

Okay I get it now....does it need a PC to run the test like in your video? Where to get that software? I only have an iMac so can I run it in iMac?

 

[Saidur_Ali]

It is not my video, probably won't work with an iMac unless you got Windows installed but you can test with games that show input like GT6 if you have it. You can see when it starts registering input.

Ok thanks but is this deadzone issue can be fixed or improved?

 

[HEF51]

^^I have that same deadzone issue with my TX pedals? Anyway to solve it?

 

[LotusTeam]

Anyway I test it with GT6 today found the deadzone of T3PA pro are minimal, can't even notice visually, can't test the clutch but guess it would be the same as the gas pedal....

 

[LotusTeam]

My little sharing about the T3PA-pro....so now we all know it is identical to the T500 pedal but Thrustmaster offers a standalone add-on, and it does include the rubber foam with spring brake module and the T3PA additional conical rubber brake module for your own preference, I would say obviously....everyone will go with the conical rubber which I have installed it in the T3PA pro myself, contributing a 44lbs/20kg force by default longest position, have it tried for few races today, absolutely stunning when you are desperately looking for delicated control of brake level, it really helps a lot, specially at hard corners, you will feel the difference immedaitely and found yourself (at least I'm) previously applied too hard braking result in velocity and momentum loss at corners, now you can feel u must apply harder to press the brake pedal at around 80% and start to think whether you really need a even more harder braking depending on various situation, for example time attack and race against people are totally differenct things....

This is great. This will make TX and T300RS complete and as expensive as T500RS.


Really wanted to know if Thrustmaster sell the conical brake mod separately for T500RS owners.

You can order one from TM, it will be stupidly expensive for what it is, but you can get one.

OR you can just do Mr. Basher's mod!!

Already using Basher's mod. I highly doubt Tm have spare parts coz they don't even have center wheel stripe. Perhaps someone else not using using Basher mod can try.

 

[Gunstar]

Not true on the spare parts, sir! I just ordered and received a replacement sequential shifter plate, and I know you could order the original T500RS resistance mod from them.
