Thrustmaster T-LCM - Loadcell Pedal set for PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One / Windows

Product Information

These pro pedals bring a lot to the table. They combine elements from other Thrustmaster pedals to create the best Thrustmaster pedal set to date. The option to choose between two sets of brake mod and the customization of the pedal layout make for one of the most versatile pedal sets on the market. There are several reasons as to why Thrustmaster pedals are not working. Some of them include: Wear and Tear Racing pedals can malfunction if they keep sliding to the floor during gameplay. This often happens if you don’t have a sim racing rig or a place to mount your racing pedals. Sliding pedals prevent you from going full throttle or braking sharply when you come around sudden corners or bumps when driving your virtual car. Fixing Malfunctioning Thrustmaster Pedals Since the potentiometers on Thrustmaster pedals come with washers and nuts, you should get rid of them too when replacing an old potentiometer. Thrustmaster is renowned for its heavy-duty pedals, which are designed to take a beating. Although they are built to withstand aggressive driving, this can cause them to malfunction. A common problem among aggressive sim racers is the breaking of the link that connects Thrustmaster’s pedal assembly to the brake sensor.

So Thrustmaster have used this great product design, and fixed the one downside that the T500RS had. The brake pedal. If you determine that debris buildup in the potentiometers is the cause of your Thrustmasters pedals’ malfunctioning, you should give the potentiometers a good clean. Poor installation can also cause Thrustmaster pedals to malfunction. If you fail to connect the cable in the right manner when setting up your virtual car, for instance, the cables won’t work as they should. Thrustmaster wheels come with an installation manual, which guides you on how to set them up. However, it’s best to keep in mind that the link’s fragmentation isn’t always caused by excessive force when braking. Some Thrustmaster pedals are made from a soft alloy. When a steel screw is used to connect the pedal assembly to the brake sensor, your virtual car’s braking system will certainly malfunction with time. Improper Connection

Manual

The main weakness with Thrustmaster pedals is that they wear out too fast. This is particularly the case for those who race daily for hours at a time. The potentiometers found in Thrustmaster pedals have a lifespan of one year or thereabout. Their lifespan is shortened by aggressive driving. Towards the end of their shelf life, the potentiometers may become spikey and unreliable when you push your car to full throttle. Dirty Potentiometers The footrest features an almost industrial style metal grip plate. And quite honestly, we really dig it. It looks hefty and it isn’t as slippery as you may think from first impressions. In this game, with the TMX racing wheel, you need to adjust the STEERING WHEEL ANGLE to 140° at least, in SETTINGS / GAME / STEERING WHEEL ANGLE. It’s always good practice to mount your Thrustmaster pedals on a platform that is free of debris. Keeping the pedals clean also goes a long way in preventing debris buildup and infiltration into the potentiometers. Use of Excessive Force The pedals themselves offer a huge amount of customization. This is possibly our favorite part of the pedals. You can adjust the spacing between each pedal by mounting the pedal plate in one of three locations.

Malfunctioning brake pedals are also a major issue of concern to sim racers. Just like is the case with a real car, your virtual car’s brakes are its most important system. As mentioned, the design is almost identical to the T500RS pedals. That isn’t a bad thing. Unlike some cheaper pedals, the T3PA-Pros feature a full metal construction. This really elevates the perceived quality of this pedal set. If the potentiometers in your Thrustmaster pedals approach the end of their lifecycle, your pedals’ efficiency will start to dwindle. This doesn’t mean that you should replace your racing wheel and pedal altogether. Instead, you’ll only need new potentiometers.

They allow for floor mounted or inverted pedal mounting positions. This in turn, allows you to set up your pedals to mimic a range of driving setups. You can floor mount them for formula style driving. Or invert them for GT and road cars. Thrustmaster have been making the right steps towards the ultimate pedal set for a while. The base pedals you get with some Thrustmaster wheels come with only two pedals and are just not fit for sim racing.

You can also mount the pedals from above. Effectively, by inverting the pedal mounting, you create a set of pedals which matches a real road car. This gives ultimate immersion when driving these styles of cars, and even better throttle and pedal control in certain situations.The most common problem with Thrustmaster pedals is underperformance. Many sim racers who use Thrustmaster wheels have at some point had problems with accelerator pedals that only rev to 3000 or thereabouts. Potentiometers are the heartbeat of Thrustmaster pedals. When debris builds up on the pedals, it can infiltrate the potentiometers, thus causing the pedals to malfunction. Calibration software allows for adjustment of the brake force, plus the dead zones for all 3 pedals. Often, problems with Thrustmaster pedals don’t arise from the pedals themselves, but the pedal assembly or poor calibration. Therefore, you shouldn’t tear your pedals apart until you pinpoint the root of the problem. By tearing your pedal assembly in haste, you may end up misdiagnosing the problem, and worse still, damage the brittle plastic and solder joints that hold the potentiometers in place.
