Redline Race Controls pedals back in production
Nigel Nichols announced that Redline Race Controls had resumed making alloy pedal units after a 13-month break, and some balked at the price of about $327. Owners including Goy Larsen and Sid Chapple strongly praised their top-hinged design and dual-spring brake pedal, comparing it to ECCI's PMB2 option. Nigel explained the weak dollar had raised US prices.

Depends what you want, plastic crap or well made pedals? I paid $3400 for my
Hypersim, these pedals are cheap!
Never let me down the mileage I used to run I'd have got through 25sets of
plastic tat by now.
You get what you pay for.
If your serious about sims youll find the cash for good equipment.

you're going to pay for it. These pedals look very well made and the design
is outstanding. Maybe some would consider them a better value if they came
with a squash ball you could stuff behind the pedals...lol. I'm glad to see
you're building your pedal units again Nigel.

After 13 months away I am back in the workshop working on another batch of
pedal units.
After selling our home (and workshop) and renting for a while(no workshop)
and building our new home(and new workshop) I have finally got up and
running again and I'm back on the job making high quality alloy pedals
units.

Lets go back to last year then! :)
My main problem is this.. Sure, you can tell that they look realistic but
it is hard to shell out that much cash without knowing how they will
actually feel
Some of you have said that you have had a set.. so.. what makes them better
than others? I have a pretty good pair of pedals and I have owned a TSW2 at
one point in time. So tell me honestly how/why they are so good?
Tell me how the drop down design makes them feel..

Unlike most sim pedal systems that are hinged at the bottom. The double
spring system on the brake also gives a realistic feel. You push the brake
pedal down about 1/3 of the way and the second spring comes into play,
making the pedal harder to push in and giving a feel very similar to real
cars brake pedal. Once you have used them you understand why everyone that
has a set raves about them.

I agree, it's the brake pedal that makes them stand out from any
commercial stuff I've tried, the smooth and accurate action of the gas

out one single item, it would be the feel of the brake pedal
The second spring introduces the the pressure controlled brake
pedal....or at least it tricks your brain into reacting in that way, I
find it much easier to find the sweet spot on the brakes this way, not
to mention that it's much easier to modulate the braking pressure and
keep the brakes/wheels just at the point where they don't lock up

That's what I've been told too, and while the method is different, the
end result is the same, and people who haven't tried these systems
usually don't get it, you get a "feel" for the brakes that's just
unbelievable
Some people have modified their various pedal sets with squash balls and
stuff to get the same thing, and I know a couple of guys who have used
springs from a Mini clutch assembly on their Logitech pedals .... Hi Ed,
Matt :-D, all to get that important extra pressure for the brake pedal
I modified my old CH Pro Pedals to get some of that feel as well and was
quite happy with that, until someone posted a link to the RedLine pedals
in here, and I knew I had to own a set of those, my brother took one
look at mine when they arrived and placed an order as well :-D

I think ECCI is dropping the ball by not offering the 6000 pedals seperately
any longer (or at least until they get production up). I lucked out because
someone placed the order for the 6000 pedals adapted for a Momo force with
PMB2 but never finalized the order. I just happened to call looking for a
set of the 4000 pedals (Tractor pedals) for $199 which they didnt have so I
JUMPED at the 6000's and have been wildly happy with them. I just sit and
stare at em sometimes :-)~ Believe it or not its hard to get full
enjoyment of these cause they are so transparent. They just feel so natural
you forget about them and concentrate more on the sim/line youre running :-)
Knowwhatimean vern? ;)
Now that I think of it my enjoyment of F1C/mods a drastically increased
since I recieved this pedal set. Could be because I can brake fully without
the mass brake locks like before.

enlightened us by scribbling this gem of wisdom:
Hmm
Are the redline pedals compatible with "stock" steering wheel units,
(like a Thrustmaster, Logitech, TSW, momo, etc?). Are they
compatible with gameport and USB wheels?
How would you hook them up, for instance, to an old gameport wheel?
Simple Y-cable?
<Gibs> When you kill 6 people in Unreal Tournament
it is "MonsterKill", In Quake3 it is "Excellent",
in Counter-Strike it is "Kicked by console"

The Brits are serious about their parking regs, if you're really unlucky
they'll put a lock/clamp on one of your wheels with a note telling you
who to call to come and "unclamp" it and what it's going to cost you
..... fine to paid on the spot I believe, and there's no telling how

of the electronics are in the wheel. This is what I was after initially but

electronics from the Wheel and mount them in a plastic radio shack box then
I can attach the box to the pedals.
I'd have to disagree about which pedals are "BEST" ;) Looks DO MATTER <g>
I like FF effects so my next wheel will likely be the BRD Speed7 if it lives
up to the hype.
