Damn dude I literally ordered the exact same mod off Ebay last week, now going to order the 3D Rap version. Awesome review wish I woulda seen this video before I wasted £14 oh well.
Oh, you funny brits with the shifter on your left hand xD I'm still waiting for my nolitto 3d clixbeetle to ship from Australia, basically it's the same mod.
Hi just want to know where did you buy the Ricmotech short shift mod was it off Ricmotech's website, because I went to there website to buy it and the price for shipping was really expensive to ship to the uk. Thank you
mine comes with a hole in the side that you stick a flathead in, it's even in my instructions. couldn't you have just done that to adjust the gear tension? plus out of the box it feels great and has alot of resistance. was this really worth it? did you try adjusting the tention before buy the mods? genuinely asking
Maybe mine was broken out the box because i never found that the adjustment bolt did anything hahah. Now I have the Cambrio V3 and feel like I've gone too far in the over-resistance direction 🤦🏾
@@MF_Henri the stock adjustment is great, it just needs to be retightened after like 3 days. I have thought about getting the mod but they seem too tight and over kill. The click it makes takes away from the realistic feel in my opinion. When I tighten the stock adjustment it adds some type of tension that give a similar feel in terms of resistance. The mods are great, just too tight I think
hey I have a question. in the games I tested, I can shift with the TH8A without using the clutch. Why does TM put a clutch pedal in when I can just shift without one? Are there any games that support the clutch?

Great vid mate, i just bought the shifter and found it very soft. i went and ordered the ricmotec v2 mod at a total of 78au$ (had too much to drink!) yet to arrive but will post a review when i fit it. Did you put any grease on the shaft and 3d piece? it makes the feel last longer apparently..
Hahaha a drink always helps with the cost of simracing😅 At first I didn't, then got paranoid and took it all apart again to grease it a month ago.. Its still good, but I think they have a 6 month lifecyle with everyday use
I have the same rig. I want to buy the t300 rs gt wheel too..I was wondering, is there any stability issues to the art sim cockpit wheel base with this wheel? Is there any flex? (I ask because the wheel only supports 2 m6 screws rather than 3 or 4)
there isnt any noticeable flex in the wheel, but as the seat is on runners it flexes a bit with the load cell brake.. but that coupd be bc my art cockpit is pretty old and used😅
So the short throw mods work with the improved feel mods like cambrio v2? No one has this answer on the internet..but by looking at your video I'd say it's possible
Hey man awesome video ! How does the 3drap mod feel with the shifter in sequential instead of H ? Do you think we can use it with the ricmotech sequential mod ?

Hey this was a great video! Exactly what I was looking for and I gotta say you got a natural presenting style! Do you have a clutch mod on the pedals?? Would love to know your thoughts
ah the Reverse look like worst than on logitech, they have more realistic reverse, you need to push the handle down and right, this look like 8th speed just make it you car going backword, am not impressed
I didn't expect the video to be so entertaining and engaging
Thanks Eric!

The short shift sticks are on ebay. UKtradingparts sell them.
They do different thread sizes depending on what you need!
Thanks man, definitely gonna pick up the 3Drap
Enjoy it!
Really cool video, I think I'll buy the TH8A + 3DRAP thing.
Well done, thank you for the input, and commentary!
Thank you
Oh, you funny brits with the shifter on your left hand xD I'm still waiting for my nolitto 3d clixbeetle to ship from Australia, basically it's the same mod.
Hahahahah sorry I'll try it on the other side sometime😂 ah you're going to love it
mine arrived yeah the same mod but better the resistance the beetleclix gives is amazing and there releasing the beetleclix gt
Thank you for sharing. :D

Was your stock shifter tightened all the way?

Dirt 2 does if you go in the game settings
Theres a bolt to the right of first gear that can be adjusted which adds or decrease resistance, and can get very resistant actually

Yes it is possible, I have short throw and improved feel mods on my th8a. They don't interfere woth eachother
@@MF_Henri kk sweet. Thanks for the reply and good video
Have you used sequential shifter
Can you compare the th8a shifter (with the 3drap and ricmotech mod installed) with the shh shifter? Which feels stronger?
Interesting
So like can I still use it with out a clutch pedal
Yes
3drap it is then, thanks!
I think it gets loose since the yellow bushing its absorbing all the compression so maybe try take a look and check it out
Ahh okay thanks, I will investigate next week!
Hey man awesome video !
How does the 3drap mod feel with the shifter in sequential instead of H ?
Do you think we can use it with the ricmotech sequential mod ?
Hey thank you! The mod made no difference to the feel when its in sequential mode sadly:( and yes i think you can!
Mind Control Media Oh ok thanks a lot for the fast answer ! Keep it up man :)
What is the name of your rig?
Nigel
can you post the links for the mods?
Hey! all of them, or particular ones?

Pretty good, ngl I still haven't replaced it since the video and it still has a good feel. Has lost a bit of the snappiness but not enough to replace.
