I just fitted this damper to my V3 pedals. And of course (like when I installed the Performance Kit) I had to come back to your video to see what I was doing wrong because it wasn't going as smoothly as i would have liked. I had a few problems. First was the pin that holds the damper on back of throttle pedal was just slightly too wide (manufacturing tolerances) for the gap in pedals - I measured gap as 31.83mm but the pin was 31.89mm - this was enough that it was not easy to just slide in - had to give hard push and scrape its way into position. Second problem was like you said, the bottom of rumble motor hitting the top of damper plate - I didn't know how to adjust the throw of pedal using the nuts, so I just bent the rumble bracket up a bit and also pulled it up while tightening screw so it was as high as possible on pedal. it now clears it by about 1mm on full throw.
I've watched a dozen of these in the past week, and Barry's site is the best. Reminds me of Steve's site for gaming PCs... Gamers Nexus. Between the two, I doubt there's any question about hardware they don't answer. Detailed, thorough, and just what one needs before spending multiple thousands of dollars. Thank you!
Just put mine on. I got to say its a huge difference. Exactly the feel I was looking for when I decided to build a sim rig. I wanted a gas pedal that had a hydraulic feel, like a real gas pedal. I'm very satisfied. Just need the break preference kit and I'll be all set.
Your info is invaluable. Can't thank you enough for all your work and input. I'm a patron of no one, but if I could afford to give to someone for what they provide us all with, it'd be you. So again... many thanks, Barry!!
Great review as always ! I have the damper kit and at first I mounted it on my brake pedal. I think there is a big flaw in the design there from Fanatec. The force dampened is not transmitted to the load cell, so the more dampening you set the more it delays your initial brake input peak, in the end it hurts performances quite a bit as you need to start braking a bit earlier. Finally, I removed it from the brake pedal and mounted it on the throttle as you did.
Julien Nacci so ? is it worth it for the throttle ? does it slow down the return of the pedal like someone mention ? i don’t know if i should spend 80€ just for a stiffer throttle. thx for the help
OAAC Médias definitely not :) Try it as is, if too soft find a stronger spring somewhere. I had to set it it as Barry, 1.6, to avoid the slow return of the throttle as you mentioned.
Thanks for the answer =) So the feeling of the throttle is improved ? and did you improved your laps time with it installed ? i think it's the most important xD
@@choanlpoto I don't think I improved my lap times, the only thing that is better in term of performances is that I cannot floor immediately anymore at corner exist, so at least it avoids me to make this mistake.
AGREED! I just swapped from this component to the brake performance kit and I am infinitely more confident on the brake pedal. I was losing tonnes of time in the braking zones due to this shoddy part! Might throw it on my throttle, but i'm jaded by it.
Thank you for the great review. I was using it on my rig for around a year on a brake pedal without the performance kit, and i really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my damper failed and started to leak oil all over the place. I have sent it back for repair, but i will probably try to use it for the acceleration pedal like you do as a switches to performance kit for the brake pedal. I think your tip about the manual calibration was great, and it's good that you remind people to use it.
I initially took them away after short but now I have it back installed on the break... It helps me to dose brake better especially in cars with sensitive brakes
Hi mate, pls tell me the advantage. I habe a problem as a New wheel User. I cant feel the right throttle Power. Sometimes i push throttle to much, Sometimes to low. Can the dumper help me to find a better feeling on throttle ?
Yet another very informative review. Thx! I recently also mounted this damper kit to my throttle pedal. Just adds that little bit of realistic pedal feel.
SRG - so glad I found these reviews you have done... I'm new to sim-racing and just got the V3 inverted pedals, after watching your in-depth reviews (along with the very detailed explanation and "testing" you do) it has given me insight I wouldn't have otherwise had. Please keep doing what you do. Much appreciated!!
If you prefer more resistance on the throttle, or want to increase the force of the brake pedal further (will not reduce travel tho unless you recalibrate), you can also preload the damper, by twisting the black body further, so it will already compress the cylinder slightly. That does of course limit travel though, so it might be more suited for use on the brake in that case, than the throttle. Was not mentioned in the video (and apparently not in the manual therefore) but could be useful I think.
Spectacular review as usual. It's worth noting that the red pedal plate screws, while very pretty, are aluminum which is basically like chocolate. Be super careful if you're planning on removing more than once because, regardless of tool quality, they are especially fragile, round out and/or strip very easily. It's a pretty easy upgrade to steel or titanium M6 1x12, though special attention then needs to be paid to two different metals seizing over time. Any thoughts are welcome.
Today my Fanatec Clubsport V3 damper kit and brake performance kit arrived... installed it (didn't go as easy as yours, my rumbler wires are too short.) But managed it.. and it feels awesome! What a difference!!!
I did go for this damper kit and got it installed a few days ago. I have it on the brake though. I alsdo have the performance kit, but use the smaller red and green to give some travel, and I really feel the damper added a nice hydraulic feel to the brake pedal. Would have liked a bit more resistance to the throttle, but I have my throttle set to maximum travel, and don't wan't to restrict that with a damper. Also feel like it might make the throttle a bit more sluggish on returns, making it harder to back off the throttle fast. Would have liked to se Fanatec come out with a new set of red, and even stronger spring addons for the throttle and clutch!
agree with you, Damper kit makes brake pedal feel more hydraulic. For me with damper kit i do not feel that i need brake perfomance kit (rubbers/green or red) - but also putting Damper kit on accelerator i think it will make it lit bit more sluggish.
one thing i would like to know about adding damper to throttle. does it still snap back as fast? say under wheel spin condition is there any point the throttle hangs?
I just got one of these so this is very helpful. From what I have heard it is better for F1 and GT but not so good for rally driving so it will hopefully be a good addition for me. Thanks for the video it's not the first time I have followed your guide. ✌️😎
I already have the performance kit so I don’t need a damper for the brake kit I need one for the gas the black spring *( springs get old and and weaker with time that damper will stay stiff for a lot longer than a spring will just an FYI if your thinking about keeping your V3’s for years, and if you don’t have the performance kit I recommend it it turns the brake into a true load cell brake )* just isn’t enough even with it shortened so it’s stronger, I use a red 13 and a green 13 preload at 2.5 I got like 3/4 of an inch of total travel on the brake, the load cell’s max is 100KG or 220lbs, just got my V3’s about a month ago and I love them it’s amazing once you get used to them how much more consistent and quicker your lap times get the newer sets come with a way longer rod on the gas to adjust the throw
great walkthrough. really appreciate it. very detailed and easy to follow along. got mine installed just fine after watching this. Although, i do have one question. for someone who seems to be very detailed in what they do, and take pride in it. im very surprised that your monitors are not calibrated. or am i just seeing an odd view? it looks like your right monitor doesnt have the bezel or angle set right. likely just your preference so dont listen to me :) i appreciate your hard work. thank you!
after a weeks of using the v3s,the rod that pushes on the rubbers grinds on the housing that rubbers fit in,you will get metal filings and feel a treading on snow feeling,but after six months,it grinds enough metal away that that feeling goes,. also you can buy that polyurothane material for a lot cheaper than what fanatec sell it for,there used to be a guy on iracing selling it after i gave him the details
Great review as always.. Tell us more about this electric skateboards you have on the wall. Looks like a LaCroix setup.. Something I was thinking about getting..
So if I’m correct. The brake performance kit reduces travel on the brake and if you were to install this damper on your brake it wont reduce travel but increases the needed pressure to get travel in your pedal, correct?
I know this review is 3 years old, but it's still very relevant, just bought the V3 with the performance kit, and while replacing the black spring and adjusting the throw (I wasn't a fan of the long throw it was set as default) the T-LCM throttle felt more firm. I kept hearing mixed things about the Dampner and your review was very thorough, and it seems like we share the same preference on the throttle side. Just not a fan of the price.
Watching him drive around the ring there - do those spinning vibration motors ever move on pedals at all?? Also... why is his hair blowing at 25:45 - is he using a wind simulator?
Hi Barry, great video. Wondering what set to upgrade to. (Fanatec Club Sport V3 Pedals, DD wheel base and McLaren GT3 wheel looking favourite.) But didn't see your vibration motors doing anything.. do you value them? Do they help to perceive when lock-up or understeer is happening?
Another great review. I wonder if sim pedals are diverging from reality with items like this damper on the throttle - both my current cars have completely electronic throttle pedals with no cable and a simple spring. Maybe I should get a V3 damper kit to fit to my actual cars!
I believe the current F1 cars use throttle dampers. As well as other cars in different racing series. There are companies the make damper solutions to cure the lifeless spring feel on cars with wireless throttle systems.
Awesome video, just picked on up for myself, going to use it on the accel pedal like yourself. BTW what is the screw driver kit you're using at 14:00 looks really useful.
Great review! Thanks! My biggest question is: after both the upgrades, is this pedal set a good value? I'm in the market for pedals but when you kit-out the V3s the price gets in the range of more "boutique" pedal makers. What do you think?
Good question. AFAIK, the next closest "boutique" pedal set is the PT2 from ProtoSimTech at 480.00usd without extras. The Fanatec V3 with performance kit and damper is around 430.00. There are other considerations to take into account I think. Which would be best depends on your own requirements.
Great video, I just received/ installed my V3's yesterday into my Human racing gt chassis, ordered 2 dampers and performance kit , can't wait to try it out soon , unfortunately work comes first
Nice video as usual, I have one question though. It seems like you lose a bit of travel distance on the throttle, is that so and is it a negative when it comes to smoother throttle control?
If you didn't adjust the throw distance on your throttle pedal don't worry just bend that bracket up a tad and you'll have the clearance needed to get the full throw of the pedal
I have the inverted V3 pedals with the stock flat long gas pedal what set of holes should I connect the Damper to? The first set from the bottom or the 2nd set where the ground bold is?
The loadell makes the brake feel more like a brake than the damper system. But you can also use the damper for the hydraulic return over the actual pressure and feel when braking
Just wanted to install the dampener on the throttle but it seems Fanatec changed something or the inverted ones have a different throttle (which i doubt): The small cylinder that goes into the throttle that gets the hex from both sides simply doesn't fit into the throttle. It's 3mm too wide.
Quite the slow roll on these v3 pedal kit, since you've tested everything in different videos. Very informative though! I do reiterate I'd like a review of the rumble feature, which would still be the biggest attraction to me if it can help someone bring the car closer to its limit.
I use the fanaleds to get the rumble. I only noticed the rumble after I have responded to the auditory indicators. I don't have buttkicker so I can feel pedel rumble through my wrestling shoes. Is it worth it? Not if you have to pay extra to get pedals rumble. Spend it on 4 buttkicker instead. If you are never going to get buttkickers........then pedles rumble it's cheap .
You really don't notice the rumble in the pedals at all. You CAN feel them, but you have to REALLY pay attention, and then it's just barely noticeable. When you are driving/racing and focused on the road, you won't notice them at all. I thought I would use the "ABS" setting on the wheel to tell me when I was getting close to 100% by setting abs to 85-90%, but it just isn't useful in that way.
i own the V3 pedals, If you have a thick sole shoes it will be much more difficult to feel the rumble in the pedals. If you drive thin sole shoes or socks you will feel it. In my opinion the throttle motor is stronger than the brake motor in my particular set of pedals.
I really don’t understand what the extra bracket for the vibration motor is for. Just mounting the motor upside down with the original bracket gives the exact same result.
I'm in the market for a new set of pedals and I'm slowly building my setup. i used to have the csr Forza wheel from fanatec but recently upgraded to a t500 which my csr pedals were no longer compatible with. I'm between the updated csr pedals from fanatec, the V3's in stock trim, and the thrustmaster t3pa. i want to keep these pedals ideally through further upgrades to better wheels and up to the dd1. *So my question for you is this;* if I'm serious about continually upgrading my setup, do you think it would be beneficial to buy these pedals and just run them for the foreseeable future? or should i buy the cheapies and get a set of nicer pedals than the V3's when it comes time?
This man is a legend. Best reviews period!
Even beats inside sim racing!
Thanks for continuing to deliver the best and most comprehensive reviews available.

Use blue loctite or an anti-seize compound on the replacement m6 screws. (Thank you for the M6 specs btw!)
Video helped and I reversed the motors which sorted out the travel issue on throttle and brake 🙂
Love my morning coffee with Barry

Would love a review of the Heusinkveld Sprint pedals if possible. @Sim Racing Garage
If I could only get my hands on a set.
+1 would love to hear your opinion!
waaaay better the sprint
+1
So if I’m correct. The brake performance kit reduces travel on the brake and if you were to install this damper on your brake it wont reduce travel but increases the needed pressure to get travel in your pedal, correct?
So no one is gonna answer him
hi, great video as usual.
what shifter is that ?
That forced laugh always says to me "There's a body in my freezer".
First hydraulic accelerator pedal world wide ;)
Heusinkveld Ultimates have had a throttle damper since their intro in 2014 (or thereabouts).

he turned off vibration most likely, it's also not available in every game btw, and i think he does yeah
His voice is pretty damn amazing. But he seriously reminds me of an American James May

great vids i learn a lot from you. big question tho, what track are you driving on ? looks like a blast. thanks
Nürburgring Nordschleife

Any vids of swapping the clutch and gas on the v3’s for the inverted trakracer kit
Hi Barry, great video. Wondering what set to upgrade to. (Fanatec Club Sport V3 Pedals, DD wheel base and McLaren GT3 wheel looking favourite.) But didn't see your vibration motors doing anything.. do you value them? Do they help to perceive when lock-up or understeer is happening?

Sweet piece of kit. Nice addition to an already great looking set of pedals. Excellent review! Fan of F1? F1 2019 coming in June.
I’m ordering one for my fanatec v3 inverted throttle pedal
I put a damper on my V3 throttle at setting 1 1/2 also.
How the feel?
@@wo1463 Since the damper is turned down so much it does not feel much different. It is an unnecessary addition that was just for fun and looks.
If you didn't adjust the throw distance on your throttle pedal don't worry just bend that bracket up a tad and you'll have the clearance needed to get the full throw of the pedal
Barry why did you flip the fbb motors at 6:47?
nvm! i saw they interfere with the damping kit! :)
I have the inverted V3 pedals with the stock flat long gas pedal what set of holes should I connect the Damper to?
The first set from the bottom or the 2nd set where the ground bold is?
Wouldn't this be better for the brakes as real brakes are hydraulic? I would prioritize braking feel over throttle feel.
The loadell makes the brake feel more like a brake than the damper system. But you can also use the damper for the hydraulic return over the actual pressure and feel when braking
Thanks for the great review. Would like to hear your opinion about Simucube 2
I hope to get one soon.
I been reading the damper kit adds lift off lag to the throttle.
Does it add a bit of resistance, for the throttle pedal?
Whould you say the cspv3(maybe inverted) with 2 dumpers and the performance kit are in one league with the he pro or sprints?thanks, awesome review :)
If you have the means, would it be worth installing 2? 1 for the brake and 1 for the throttle?
When are you going to put your voluptuous hair through the in depth and stringent SRG review process?
I was also wondering if turning the rumble motors round would help as mine keep catching the pedals, so thanks for confirming that it works
Just wanted to install the dampener on the throttle but it seems Fanatec changed something or the inverted ones have a different throttle (which i doubt): The small cylinder that goes into the throttle that gets the hex from both sides simply doesn't fit into the throttle. It's 3mm too wide.
So I do like a fair bit of travel in the brake but I'm looking for that extra umph. Should I go with the performance kit or the damper?
Are you going to do a Heusinveld Sprint pedals rewiew?
Thank you for the honnest review. Have a question: Do you have any idea how much force/weight you're doing on the Throttle now with the damper on it?
I don't have a way to measure that. But being that the damper force is adjustable, I think most would be able to find a setting that suites them.
@@simracinggarage3026 Ok. Thank you for taking the time to answer. Keep up the good work :)
How may I obtain the hardware that you have for hanging your steering wheels on? Any help would be appreciated.
Quite the slow roll on these v3 pedal kit, since you've tested everything in different videos. Very informative though!
I do reiterate I'd like a review of the rumble feature, which would still be the biggest attraction to me if it can help someone bring the car closer to its limit.
The “rumble” feature is a joke. It’s barely perceptible and not even remotely perceptible if you’re using buttkickers. That said, I LOVE my V3 pedals.
I use the fanaleds to get the rumble. I only noticed the rumble after I have responded to the auditory indicators. I don't have buttkicker so I can feel pedel rumble through my wrestling shoes. Is it worth it? Not if you have to pay extra to get pedals rumble. Spend it on 4 buttkicker instead. If you are never going to get buttkickers........then pedles rumble it's cheap .
You really don't notice the rumble in the pedals at all. You CAN feel them, but you have to REALLY pay attention, and then it's just barely noticeable. When you are driving/racing and focused on the road, you won't notice them at all. I thought I would use the "ABS" setting on the wheel to tell me when I was getting close to 100% by setting abs to 85-90%, but it just isn't useful in that way.
i own the V3 pedals, If you have a thick sole shoes it will be much more difficult to feel the rumble in the pedals. If you drive thin sole shoes or socks you will feel it. In my opinion the throttle motor is stronger than the brake motor in my particular set of pedals.
I put double rumble stronger motor in my v2 and feels awesome.
Would you consider the Fanatec V3 Pedals the best dollar value for any pedal set in the $400 price range?
I really don’t understand what the extra bracket for the vibration motor is for. Just mounting the motor upside down with the original bracket gives the exact same result.
Where'd you get the third pedal bracket??
I'm in the market for a new set of pedals and I'm slowly building my setup. i used to have the csr Forza wheel from fanatec but recently upgraded to a t500 which my csr pedals were no longer compatible with. I'm between the updated csr pedals from fanatec, the V3's in stock trim, and the thrustmaster t3pa. i want to keep these pedals ideally through further upgrades to better wheels and up to the dd1. *So my question for you is this;* if I'm serious about continually upgrading my setup, do you think it would be beneficial to buy these pedals and just run them for the foreseeable future? or should i buy the cheapies and get a set of nicer pedals than the V3's when it comes time?
is the dampe supposed to leak?
My csp brake pedal has a travel of about 5cm (2 inches). Do you think I'll found a noticeable benefit if I install the damper kit on it? Thanks.
Is it still worth it if you're playing with socks?
