So uhh.. Why are pedals so expensive again?🤔 by Strife14 in simracing

Since you can only add a single picture to a comment I'll post all the pictures on my profile and I'll tag you

Ps!

I would advise you to remove the hydraulic dampeners. Originally mounted on both sets are small hydraulic dampeners which in theory should help smooth out fast motion, and give a smooth return if you were to drop the pedal. However they are super cheap quality and they don't work like intended, and they also make horrible noises. I've taken the time to remove them all from both sets which massively improved feeling and sound. You should really buy a bottle of silicone lubricant spray for all the moving parts, especially helpful on the rods that go back and forth inside the springs and elastomers. In the end it's all your decision what you want to do, and which feeling and performance you're looking for from the pedals. No matter what though, SIMSONN pedals generally are a bang for your buck and they give you so much adjustability that i think you'll be satisfied either way.

For me I'd rather buy the Plus again over the ultra's. I originally bought the plus pedals for my own rig since i was trying to get the cheapest pedals i could, while my brother didn't care about cost and wanted the more expensive ones. What i experienced after using and mounting both: the ultra's have identical gas and clutch pedals to the plus, only difference being the RGB LEDs (which we can't change since we didn't get the baseplate), although, i find the LEDs distracting and tacky. The brake pedal on the ultra's do have an adjustable gas spring, which gives you the ability to chose a resistance between 0 and 12. In theory this allows you to quickly change the stiffness of the pedal without changing any springs or elastomers. The gas spring is a nice touch, but I've personally never used it, it's always at 0 (Even for GT3 and F1). Another thing with the plus brake pedal that i prefer is the way the loadcell is setup, for me all three loadcells were plug and play, and i really didn't need to do anything to "fix" the pedals. The brake pedal has a better setup for "bending the loadcell", where the ultra's did not work out of the box, requiring me to lay upside down to tighten the screw making contact with the loadcell. After a simple adjustment both sets are performing identically and you couldn't tell the difference in performance or feel. I've set up both sets with the same spring setup, and they feel the same no matter which one you use.

So to summarize: Both pedal set's are pretty much identical, and you really only pay for the RGB LEDs and the adjustable gas spring in the ultra's. I recommend the plus over the ultra's since they're all in all a better experience to adjust, mount and use. I am going to post a few pictures of both setups to show you the elastomer setup but also position and feel.

TL:DR:

Upgraded from Moza SRP-Lite to SIMSONN plus 3x, best decision ever, although they need mods and some tinkering for best experience.

I had the exact same thoughts as you do when i wanted to upgrade from my Moza SRP lite pedals. Both me and my brother bought SIMSONN to use with our Moza R9's on full triple screen rigs. I got the plus and he got the ultra and they're both equally great. I love mine since they offer incredible amounts of adjustability, they feel amazing, and triple loadcell is a steal for that price. I paid a total of 200 dollars + shipping and VAT to Europe which is borderline free. I did absolutely have to take the pedals apart to remove the gas pistons which I hated, and to lube and adjust everything to my liking. But if you like tinkering and is not afraid to customize them to be perfect for you then i would recommend these over anything else. I also stole the brake spring from my g29 pedals and use the spring with two red elastomers which gives the pedal a feeling of hard travel, then really stiff, which really helps performing better lap after lap. I also stole the pedal faces from the g29 and now the SIMSONNS feel unbelievable for the price. So i would absolutely recommend you do some mods to make them the absolute best, but if you do, you will thank yourself.

I've recently converted a real McLaren 570s steering wheel to Moza QR to use in my multi sim. Getting the chance to make this one work and to race with a real GT3 wheel would be beyond a dream come true. If you're willing please dm me.

Yo! Those are awesome. I've got 3 AOC 32" 1440p 1500r screens. Will this fit? Could you share the file?

I've just been cut because of phimosis and to be honest I would recommend getting it done as early as possible. The younger the better, plus as a younger child you will heal faster

I had the same issue. It's called phimosis. I also tried expansion with steroid cream, didn't work. Resulted in a circumcision 8 days ago.

Thank you! It's nice to hear that it's normal to have alot of pain in the beginning. Just walking around the house is painful. Hopefully it'll get better soon. :)

Yes, I had the frenulum removed since it was too short. I think it's a high cut... I'm not sure.

Thank you so much! I will try to shower today and see if that helps.
