So many people would love a clutch video @dave cam. Please release. I cant find any reviews and would love to know what heel toe feels like with active pedals.

Love your videos mate.

As an owner of the active pedal, passive throttle & baseplate, I can only agree with your comments Dave.
I've had them about 3mths & feel the brake pedal is the only necessary one to own, its incredible how consistent it is. The passive throttle is the best throttle I've ever had also. Previously had Sprints, V3's & Invictas.
My iRating has gone from a constant 2.2-2.3k to now being over 2.6/7 & feel i can improve more.
Yes they are a lot of money, but for me & the enjoyment level, worth every penny.
Great video as always Dave

"can make it feel like my Peugot 3008 brakes"

instant buy.

[chrisbeere]

That active brake is a thing of beauty and the software looks super polished. 😍

[danielmorad]

Really nice review on the pedals, Dave. You’re so right about how powerful they are.

[UNDDK]

It’s also worth adding that they are stupidly precise - It can consistently measure the weight of the tip of my sock down to individual grams, as opposed to other Load Cells which can differ with several kg’s in LC output.

@davecam being a sim racer makes you such a good reviewer. You’re telling us all the things we actually want to know!

[strange_jason]

You can also set up your left pedal as a brake and have the middle one drop all the way back out of the way for 2-pedal car profiles and pop over to a hand clutch.

‘You’ll never have to buy pedals again” next month: “announcing Simucube Ultimate Pedals 2!”

[clemsiemckenzie]

This was an excellent review, showed really well the use cases. I think they are the future ultimately. The feedback will improve and the functions will too. There's something to be said about active throttle and clutch if you like driving around on a wide variety of cars and if your sim could talk to the pedals to reproduce their feel. I also feel like we're gonna see these in real cars, to simulate more feel as we move to electric cars and drive by wire controls...

[zwickdetailing]

Hey Dave, great video - and I totally agree with your synthesis to these pedals.
I personnaly came from Fanatecs V3 via VRS to the active Pedal set. I completely made the same experience as you did - concerning consistency, feel of the car etc.
Yes indeed the're really expensive and I waited 2 years before I've bought them, BUT I will never ever get back to any other set.

Thanks for the video and explaining the settings on the pedals. I just ordered up an active pedal, throttle and baseplate while they are having a 10% off sale. Looking forward to setting them up on my rig. Hoping I don’t have to change things around too much. 😀

[CaptainCrunch]

Good point you mentioned about using just one brake unit matched with other brand clutch and throttle. Thanks for that!

[LazyEngineeredThoughts]

Dave you gotta stop under selling yourself, your better at reviews then those who claim to be reviewers. I’d rather have your input then those muppets. (Their not muppets I shouldn’t be rude)

[justagamer]

Thank you Dave. I appreciate your take on the pedals and your straightforward breakdown. I will prepare my finances accordingly lol.
Simucube needs to set up an affiliate link for your channel at some point here as I prefer to support your enterprise. Hopefully that is coming. I am not in a big rush but will apparently be upgrading my Invictas at some point. Was waiting for you to seal the deal.

[Aleksandar-rb]

I think that was the video I was looking for. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVE!!! I was torn apart from the choice to get a Simucube active and passive pedal or HE Ultimate+ 2 pedal set. Since I am moving from console to PC with a 8nm DD Pro right now, I have lots of money to spend ahead, $1000 for triples with a stand, $2000 for a adequate PC, $2000 for a Simucube 2 Pro plus steering wheel, $1000 if I choose the Ultimate + pedals and may be need to change my Track Racer TR80 lite for that 25nm steering torque, may be not but that is another $800 plus the iRacing subscription of $200 for 2 years. That is $7000 at once. I would definitely get the PC and triples first, than the wheel base and HE Ultimates, and after couple of years an active pedal when is half the price or technology allows for more affordable alternatives with the same feedback from variety of manufacturers!!!

[kieranjames]

looking forward to moza mBooster Active Pedals review and hopefully a comparison

[dreamz]

I'm getting close to the divorce threshold 🤣🤣. Just got the simucube wheelbase and already salivating for this.

[HeretixAevum]

I look forward to this product category to become more reasonably priced over the next few years

[OfficeLinebacker]

The thing I like best is your sense of fairness. You're always fair in racing and you're fair when you review the product. You always say you got it for free and that they have no input.
