Thomas pedal opinions

Here's my situation: I have BRD Speed7 pedals which I adore. Unfortunately, they are acting up from time to time (cutting out and throttle input getting stuck in fully on position). This is unacceptable for such expensive pedals, so if this continues I'll have to ditch them. I already have a Logitech Momo Force wheel, which I am happy with and do not want to replace. So I'm looking at standalone pedal options. The Act-Labs performance pedals seem too cheap (too many reports of broken springs). One of the few products that seems to fit my requirements are the Thomas pedals. Anyone have any experience with these and can comment on them? Do they ever "cut out" in sims, or have throttle and/or brake positions get stuck reporting "full-on"? From the pictures on the website it doesn't look like they are adjustable, which is a negative. I wouldn't be using them flat on the floor, but in a race-frame. Anyone know if they work well in such a setup? Does the USB adapter work trouble-free? Thanks!

I can second the opinion that the Act-Labs pedals aren't all that great. Very long throws, thought I was driving a truck. "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

All I can comment on is their function. I have never had mine cut in and out, and have never had a full-on or full-off experience either. They aren't adjustable IIRC, as you said and that may interfere with using them in a cockpit/frame setting like you describe. They are kind of longish in the throw department, but unlike the other poster, I actually like it. I ditched a LWFF and their tiny 1 inch of travel (way too little throw for my taste) just to get some variation between full off and full on, more gradations if you will. It seemed like to me that the LWFF was either all on or all off with such little travel. Made spinning out from too much gas and locking up from too much brake way too easy for my big feet. The Thomas pedals (that came with my TSW2 Cup) fixed all that plus some with their excellent spring tension and smooth travel over the entire length of their throw. I honestly don't think I could race as competitively with any shorter pedals now that I have gotten used to the Thomas version. Also, I have no experience with the USB adapter(s). Although I do run Win XP, I have had no problems just using the game port. I have an older TSW2 Cup that has the split/axis (newer ones apparently do not have the option) so I am hesitant to try to fix something that doesn't seem broke yet.

http://ecci6000.com/consumer01a.htm I was thinking of getting a set of these for my Logitech Momo. They look just like the set that came with the CDS4000's. I had a CDS4000 that was built in 1997 and I never had a problem with it in 5 years... "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't know about the Thomas pedals but you may be interested in the RRC pedals. I use them with my Momo wheel and they are great. Fully adjustable unit with brake, gas and clutch.

I have a TSW2 Modified wheel with 3 pedals and the USB adapter (supposedly needed for winXP), and couldn't be happier with them. I've never had any problems with them performing incorrectly. Have you tried replacing the potentiometers for your BRD pedals? I'm not sure quite how to attach the TSW2M pedals to a race frame. Perhaps email the people at mailto:[email hidden] and ask if they have any suggestions about how to do this. They have a reputation as being very friendly and helpful people. Sean

Indeed. I've paired the 6000-series pedals with a LWFF (Ol' Red) and the combo works great. ECCI has all the info you need to pair their pedals with almost any decent FF wheel (Logi, TM, etc.) and can set it up for you before they ship it.

I use the BRD Speed 7 pedals with my TSW and couldn't be happier. I previously had an ECCI CDS4000. Are you sure you want to give up on your Speed 7 pedals so quickly? It sounds like you may just have a pot or bad wire connection. Have you tried contacting Tim Ball at Interactive? If you're in the US and are considering getting rid of your Speed 7's, please let me know. Bob "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Steve!!! I emailed Ecci earlier today, and they wrote back that they are NOT selling the Trackstar6000 pedals seperately, so, did you buy the whole set and use just the pedals? I admit, maybe you got an early order in before they shut it down or something? I want those pedals bad! PS dont confuse the 6000 with the A-Frame (tractor style pedals) trackstar3000 pedals...

I'm sorry; yer right - it's the bottom-hinged Trackstar 3000 pedals that I have paired with the LWFF, not the overhead-hinged 6000-series. But, considering the tractor-ish 3000 pedals alone are $200, $600 for the $6000 package--including the wheel--seems like a bargain!

I want the wheel, you can keep the pedals :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I use the Logitech MOMO Force with the Trackstar 3000 1949 Ford Tractor Pedals <G> and it's an awesome combo.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Sadly, it seems pretty much all of the pedals suggested are designed for stand-alone use sitting upright on the floor. The days of me sim-racing in an upright position at my computer desk are over; I can't go back to that. So I need to think of something... Certainly the ECCI and Redline are far too bukly to think of mounting in my race-frame. The Thomas might be doable, I'll have to give Eldred's measurements a look.

But if they continue to exhibit glitchy behavior I may have no choice. League race results are at stake here. ;-) I will contact BRD, but I'm not hopeful. Maybe that's just my pessimistic nature, though. I am in the U.S., and if I decide to get rid of them I'll let you know.

Have > you tried replacing the potentiometers for your BRD pedals? I'm not Do you think bad pots could cause my problem? The pedals work perfectly fine the majority of the time, but once in a while, not that often yet, they will stop responding in a game. It's happened in F1C and GPL. Unplugging the USB cable, then reconnecting it gets them to respond again and then they work normally. That seems more like a problem with electronics than a pot, but I'm no expert. Exactly once I've had a problem where I was driving along in GPL and it got stuck sending a fully-pressed throttle signal. I had to pull to the side of the road, apply full brakes, and unplug the USB cable again then reconnect. The BRD does have a seperate control box that the USB cable plugs into, and it is what you use for calibrating. I'm thinking maybe that thing is going on the fritz. If so, it's bad news because the thing is a rip-off to replace. Might as well get more reliable pedals if that's the case.

Does that help any? Yes that helps. What I'm wondering about though is the angle (?) of the pedals when they are mounted on the race-frame. But that's probably impossible to determine without trying 'em out. Thanks.

I don't thing the RedLines are that bulky really, if you compare it to the CD Cover in one of the pics you can tell they aren't as big as they look, and it's quite easy to lose the "extra" stuff, i.e the "frame" that keeps it upright on the floor I'd be happy to take some pics of my set and e-mail them to you, let me know what you need Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

So you can figure out what angle you want to mount the unit at, and determine the resulting total angle.

The Redlines don't have a flat base, they are on two stands spaced well apart. I think I'd need something with a flat base.

Yeah, I guess it depends on the layout of your frame, going to build a cockpit myself here in the not too distant future...as soon as I'm into my new place and have room for it :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
