New BRD Pedals

I've heard on the grapevine that the new pedals from BRD are going to be �265. Or �165 if you have a set of BRD pedals to trade in. Anyone else like me thinking "Well - I was going to have them - but frankly - �265 is just WAY too expensive - forget it" I'm sure they're fantastic and all that - but NO set of pedals is worth that much. I could go and by proper road car for that for gods sake. Doug

Thats pretty rediculous. I am sure they are awesome, but far too much. Ash

It was in a word document circulated to all current BRD Owners. I am not one, but got it fwd'd to me... " Until the end of January 2002 we are offering a �100 rebate on the new Speed 7 pedals for any previous BRD-Sim F1, Pro or Classic owners who purchased them in the last 6 months. The pedals will be retailing at �265, but if you trade in your current pedals you will be able to get them for �165." Sick - frankly. Doug

Just for comparison...how much in pounds were the ECCI wheel/pedal packages? And in pounds a Thomas Wheel with a bunch of MOMO upgrades? Can anyone find that out? Thanks. dave henrie "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9tth1s$4q951$[email hidden]...

Holy crap.. really? So that means that those pedals would be about $400?

I mean - I know they're probably the best pedals money can buy..but - I look at the picture - add up the constituant parts - and can not see �265 there at all. �150 maybe - but never more than �200.

Is there any pics of these new pedals? "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9ttt5e$4qcon$[email hidden]...

I know I probably sound like a broken record by now, but I can't praise these high enough.... http://www.wave.co.nz/~lakewood/Redline2.htm Not to mention that Nigel's sound engineering made it possible for me to change the spring on my accelerator pedal in less than 2 mins, 5 mins before the qualifying for the BR1000, costs about half, including shipping, could use a new set of pots about now I guess, but after 2 years..... And they don't look like tractor pedals either :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke" --Groucho Marx--

I purchased a BRD Sim Pro system about 2 months ago and have been really impressed with the quality of parts and workmanship. I can't really say it has made me any faster in either GPL or N4 compared to my previous system, but I'm not any slower either, and it cost about 1/4 of my other system. (Guess what my previous system is....hint, it has tractor pedals) ;-) I will definitely be upgrading to the new pedals for two main reasons. First of all it will convert the entire system to USB, and secondly the position of the pedals is adjustable. These units can also be inverted for a pendulum type setup. I will be paying approximately $233 USD, and will still be right around $600 for the total system with an extra quality pedal setup to use elsewhere. Just for comparison purposes, here are some prices of other products. Keep in mind the BRD's are all steel with gear drive pedal to pot: ECCI clutch pedal only add on $169 (tractor pedal) TSW 2 pedal unit $125 (plastic base) TSW for Act Labs RS $200 (plastic base ??) TSW for Logi FF $210 (plastic base ??) I personally don't think they are priced out of line at all at $233, and will probably be included as standard equipment on any new complete systems, albeit at some increase in cost.

I just received the Redline Pedals and they are perfect. Taxed to death as we are in Norway, they are expensive, but worth it. Only problem is that time from order to delivery might be long. This is handmade sim accessories made by one enthusiast for other enthusiasts. Ivar

Does anybody have a URL for BRD? One of these days I'm going to be looking for a high end set of wheels and pedals. I'm an ECCI user. I wish I could get another one of them. Larry

Another person with impeccable taste :-), yeah, I agree, my brother waited some 8 months for his set to arrive, still, you get personalized service that you don't get with mass produced units Nigel Nichols for president !!

I dont think $233 is too much for them either. Thats �165. You can have them for that much if you are already a BRD owner and trade in your old pedals. I am not a BRD ownder and therefore have to pay �265 if I want them. THAT is too much ( $384) imo. Furthermore - it's still not on the BRD website ( www.interactiveracing.com ) and I would like to know how much they'll be charging for the Clutch pedal as well (the images so far are of a 2 pedal setup) My current plans are a Logi Momo - with the BRD Pro pedals - upgrading to an add on clutch in the future if necessary/justified (which I doubt) Doug
