Pedal Mod for T300RS stock Pedals

[pauldalton]

The stock pedals for the T300RS are mediocre at best. I race on Real and even with the cars that have ABS I was constantly locking the brakes.

I saw on another forum where a user bought a foam hand exercise ball and trimed it down to put behind the pedal and said it worked great to give some compression and improve the brake feel.

I found some high density foam that was used as packaging for a battery charger I bought and trimmed a piece 1 3/4" long x 1 1/4" wide x 1/2" thick and stuffed it in the cavity at the bottom of the brake and IT WORKS! I was constantly locking the brakes which caused me to lose races @80% against the AI. Now, because I don't constantly lock the brakes I can win some races.

If you are using the stock pedals on the T300RS give it a try. It made a huge difference for me.

It prevents lockups better in PCars than some other driving games but helps in all I have tried.

Hey,
your mod sounds pretty good... could you take a picture, how it looks and upload it? because i dont know where you put exactly the foam.
Thanks ;)

Unfortunatly I put the pedal set in storage. I bought an adapter to use my G25 pedals with this wheel.
I will try to explain where to put it. Make sure the high density foam is spongy and will spring back.
Don't take anything apart.
On the backside of the brake pedal at the very bottom there is an indention. Just stuff it in that indention so that it won't come out.
The pedal has to press against the foam giving better resistance and some progression. If you cut the foam to the size in my post it should stay in place (mine did). Just push the foam so it gets under the edge of the indention.
I ended up putting some of that same foam inside the brake spring of my G25 pedals and it helped there also.
I don't know how long the foam will last before it falls apart but it would be simple to cut another piece and replace it. I put at least five hours of racing before I put it in storage and it was still good. I have at least ten hours on the G25 pedals with the foam and it still helps.

I just got a T500RS and it actually comes with a brake pedal mod in box. It literally feels like the brake pedal in my car now. So stiff and realistic. I love it! Thrustmaster is the shiznit when it comes to making racing peripherals....
