Need suggestions for new pedals.

[NAR]Steve

My Act-Labs clutch pedal stopped working, i tried contact cleaner on the pot, but no help, so I am in need of a new set of pedals, budget is around $150 USD. I appreciate any suggestions.
 
Just if you don`t know this, Actlabs is selling spare pots for 10 USD...

Otherwise, for 150 USD, maybe the Fanatec`s?
 
I've never heard of Act-Labs before today :)

Whats the build quality like on those? Are they US only?
 
Contact cleaner did the job on my G27 throttle pot. So it must be something else like a wire.

Act-Labs are (were?) a US company, started making sim gear around the time GPL was new. They adopted the Australian Advantage1 pedals and sold them as Act-Labs in the US. Advantage1 has disappeared now, last post on their own website was around 2010. I still have a set of the Advantage1 GT pedals and the Advantage1 H shifter (early model with micro switches) that are still in perfect working order. I still use the shifter, the pedals were retired when I bought my T500 4 years ago.

I have no idea if Act-Labs are still operating.

Cool, shame they aren't really producing anymore. I strongly believe we need another brand to come into the sim hardware space to pick up where Logitech has left off.

Last I heard Logitech arent making any more wheels!!

Maybe someone like Saitek, or CH could do it šŸ˜€

Sorry, bit off topic then lol

fanatec csp for that price or you will have to spend a bit more. make sure load cell or hydraulic brake.
 
Well, happy to report, the pedals are ok. I plugged them into a different USB port, and calibrated, and all is well. Thanks for the help !!
 
Get a pre-owned set of the Clubsport V2 pedals, then upgrade the damper (shock-absorber) with the Mugen RC ones, and possibly a spring upgrade as well, but I believe the damper upgrade is much more important.

That setup seems to be very, very good. I admit, I haven't done the upgrade yet (my CSP V2s have been collecting dust for many months - I just don't have a way to mount them).
