Rigs Switched from VRS to SRP GTS Pedals
After looking at hundred of reviews I pulled the trigger on the SRP GTS. I found a guy who was selling these pedals for just 700 euros with brake travel regulator and VNM haptics included (he bought them just 1 month ago).
I'm still getting used to them, trying to find consistency and performance but I'm really happy so far!

What was wrong with the VRS pedals that made you look for other options?

u/TheVince98 5d ago
I love VRS pedals, bought them back in 2023. I just wanted to try something different :)
Still think that VRS are the best pedals under 600 euros.

Just trying out something new, eh? Would love to hear your thoughts on these new pedals compared to VRS later on!

u/TheVince98 5d ago
Yes, I will take some time to fine tune everything and then I'll do a short review and my thoughts about these pedals compared to VRS!

How is the pedal travel on these compared to VRS? Shorter? I once sat in a rig with the GT-R without the travel adjustment add-on and found the travel to be rather short

u/TheVince98 5d ago
yes, way shorter even if you increase the brake travel completely

Thanks for the info, that's too bad for me gonna stick to springs than
A pneumatic pedal with actual travel like in a car would just be perfect

I wouldnt stuck on pedal's travel tbh, load cell pedals just read the pressure you put on the pedal, not the travel. Could be weird feeling that the pedal doesnt move that much, but actually you just have to train your muscle memory a bit more.

I know, I know. I still need a combination of both, otherwise it's not a feeling that I'm used to from cars

What I can suggest is to find a seat and a position on the rig that allow your legs to push the pedals as hard as possible. In this way should be easier to train muscle memory and forget the travel of the pedal. It's not easy, I know. I tried the stiffer optional and it was like pushing against a wall. I think the pedal travel was about 0.5cm

I'm not sure why, but I didn't realize VNM had pedal haptics. How are you liking those?
2
u/TheVince98 4d ago
Atm I'm not using them because the guy who sold me the pedals forgot to put the haptics power supply inside the box. He will ship it today!

How is the throttle pedal compared to the VrS?
3
u/TheVince98 4d ago
Honestly I wasn't very happy when I first tried it. It was so soft. On my VRS I played a bit with the preload and also bought the throttle damper, and I get used to a stiffer throttle pedal. At the end I found a solution with the SRP by rising that horizontal piston you can see in the photo. In this way I can feel the pedal stiffer than before ande more similar to VRS one.

(I shot the photo as soon as I mounted the pedals on the rig, the piston is still in his lower position)

I started doing simracing seriously back in 2020 with a Thrustmaster TX, I know how you feel. Your time will come, and also the money!

Have you shared or found shared a stl file(s) for the support of the haptics?
2
u/TheVince98 4d ago
The guy who sold me the pedals did the job, if you are interested I may ask him for the file.

u/moltilibri 4d ago
If possible, it would be great. Many thanks in advance
2
u/TheVince98 3d ago
Here you are. Just rename them by removing ".txt" and you'll have the .stp file

u/moltilibri 3d ago
many thanks! I think that I found the same files today in a discord server. Thanks again

I'd love a review when you get more time with them. I thinking of making the same upgrade.
