Gonna have to say... this is my new favorite road car / track combo in iRacing. Update below -

So, some of you might remember the video from Daytona where I went into T1 with no brakes... Well, I fixed that. (well enough)

And now it's a new issue, just the sensors going bad as tends to happen. The throttle and clutch have been slightly spiky (though not to problematic levels) for a while, now the brake starts acting up. So I go to clean everything and hope it works (I no longer have a boneyard of CSP parts), and apparently I managed to damage the PCB that is unpossible - yes, unpossible - to put back in it's factory default standard position under the heel rest.

So now it won't recognize any inputs at all. Looks like the PCB is toast now too. (that one was my fault though, I'll take the blame there)

Joy.

So now I'm left to decide - throw $50-60 worth of parts at the fantastic yet poorly designed pedals I will have rebuilt 4 times over the years, CSL Elites, CSP v3s or what.

Leaning V3s right now, but still undecided. I've heard they are way more reliable than the V2s. Plus... my V2s are pretty janky from all the repairs over the years. Elites are missing some adjust ability I really would miss. T3PAs or whatever they are would need to be modded to have the load cell in them.

I know some will say PT1s or go nuts and get some HE Pedals... overkill and the fact both options are pretty significantly more expensive.

Plus, my pedals sit on carpet. :p

Worth tossing out there - my Fanatec wheels have been reliable over the years.

Follow me like a stalker! (please dont actually stalk me... duh)
