Hi Barry, thanks for the review. We'll look into why the hex heads don't fit the aluminium profiles. We added these bolts to the baseplate some time after the initial release specifically to make installation easier, but it appears the wrong spec/lenght may have been packed.

What a credit Barry is to the community. As usual a tremendous video. All serious manufacturers should be dropping off Kit for Barry to review. People could then spend serious money in confidence, the manufacturer seeing sales increase. A win/win/win.

THE . BEST . VOICE . EVER.

I have been waiting for the review for 5 months. Thanks for putting the time and share it.

Man, i love your content. Its long but thorough reviews. Keep up the good stuff buddy thanks

Your videos are a real gem to the community. Thanks for the in-depth style. So informative, yet your soothing voice could also put me to sleep. :)

I just ordered a set of Sprints. Thanks for the video, Barry. I'm watching it for like the 3rd time. :)

Oh man was I looking for this ! great product and great reviewer.

Hey Barry just want to add my voice to the other comments here there by 1000 miles there is nobody on KZfaq in Sim racing that does the type of engineering analysis that you do across our entire sport and like lots of other people we love you for it mate

You're really great Barry! Your videos about the products are by far the best. I no longer buy any simracing accessoires without first seeing a review from you. And then your brilliant garage with the great tools and this highend simulator... Exactly my thing. I'd like to come over and bring some german beers ;-) Keep it up!

Thanks for this review, it helped me to make my choice, especially the plate review part :) Good job as usal !

Best review I have ever seen in my life! Thank you.

Thanks for the video very informative. I have just purchased these pedals and it helps me understand the adjustments much better thank you 👍

Thanks for the review Barry! Just upgraded my rig and picked up a set. Appreciate the brake pedal adjust warning as well. It is easy if done the proper way

The best (the only) tear-down/review site for this stuff; just the shear level of detail you go into. Enough detail me for me to go ahead a purchase a set, you need ot be on a retainer :D

just ordered these pedals with a Simucube 2 pro, a cube controll GT Pro OMP, all from watching your reviews. keep up the great work.

You did it again Barry

Thank you for your reviews. I bought a set of heusinkveld sprints and they are awesome pedals.

Nice collection of fpv quads you got there!

I just ordered one. Waiting to test it!

Thanks for the video Barry !

By far, the most thorough and precise Sim reviewer on the planet. Keep up the outstanding work.

just got them today switched from V3 inverted. night and day they will take some getting use to but it no biggy thanks for the video Barry ur a god send all the Best m8

Awesome review as ever Barry.. :-)

Mr Sim Racing Garage - not only am I impressed by your Documentary like "silky smooth voice", but I am ALWAYS fascinated to get such a behind the scenes look at such professional quality sim-racing hardware --- that I could argue --- I can't see almost anywhere else on KZfaq? But I must admit that after your spectacular sounding Intro, from around 0:17 onwards, getting a "behind the scenes" view of your toilet plumbing hardware in the background - is not quite what I had in mind, hahahaha ; )))) But keep up these awesome Reviews just the same. thankyou Barry

Washers are the sim racer's friend. The ultimate baseplate has the same mounting "issue". But to be honest, I didn't experienced it as an issue. Since I built myself custom rolls with noise-dampeners on top, I was used to this kind of screws. And of course thanks for this once again extensive review Barry!

I love this guy

Flame-thrower sneakers are OP 👌

Just got one of these bad boys. Definitely recommend them!

I would like to say that I am grateful to you Barry for these videos. They offer a deep dive into best practices and offer detailed product information regarding breakdown, assembly, and adjustments not offered anywhere else, including the manufactures owner's manuals. I do wish that Barry would be slightly more critical regarding the product negatives. I do agree with Barry about the HE Sprints having some design flaws, such as the standoffs for the pedal tray's threads not being tapped down far enough. This causes enough of a gap between the tray and the standoffs, even with the suggested washers used (both in the manual & Barry). This is a minor nitpick but enough of one that causes owner's to do additional work to correct or just put up with the minor imperfection. I see several other opportunities for Heusinkveld to improve upon that cropped up during my installation. These being said I feel that for their price point it is a good product and I am satisfied with their overall useability as being the benchmark pedal set to own by the sim racing community. They are highly desirable and sought after product. If not upstaged by another company's product, they should maintain their resale value. I give them four out of five stars rating (4/5). 1) In order for all of the pedals to be of similar alignment, the Throttle Pedal must be moved all the way forward and then backed off slightly so as not to get hung up on the stainless steel pedal tray back lip when depressed. I would like to see the grooves on the backplate be shorted in the front to prevent this rubbing. Similarly, the Clutch and the Brake pedals must be moved to the furthest adjustment to the rear of there slots just to be in line with the Throttle Pedal. Even with using this maximum range of adjustment, I am unable to line up all three pedals all the way. I would like to see them do so with future revisions of the schematics and production. 2) The type of steel used to make the pedal brackets themselves (and possibly other components) is a very MILD type of steel. It is quite malleable and it is very easy to bend the material by hand (I'm not a very strong guy either!). All of the pressure on these parts happen on the z-axis, so conversely when assembled the Throttle, Break, and Clutch appears rigid enough to withstand the forces applied to them. Nonetheless, I would either like to see Heusinkveld use better quality steel or even go back to using stainless steel as a building material. It would be interesting to see if any warpage due to structural failure occurs overtime or not. Had I known of the mild steel, I would of more likely than not of chosen the Meca Cup pedals instead, but I preferred the integrated control box of the HE Sprints, as Meca's control box is separately mounted. 3) I agree with Barry regarding the method of securing the pedals to the sim rig itself. I would also like to see additional hight built into the bottom pedal rails, so as to be more readily accessible to using the standard fastener of choice, socket head bolts. A cutout above the area would be one way of doing this.

the bolts worked perfectly for my Obutto Rig and it easy as I removed the Obutto base plate and then just put it back on

hey look,its the james may of sim racing

Had these pedals for 2 weeks now. Huge move from Logitech but I heard good things over the Fanatec V3 and they're really nice. Takes a while to get used to a load cell but once you have it calibrated and dialled into your personal taste, really liking them. Heel plate is quite awkward, and it took some times to get myself into a comfortable position

I cant afford this in my lifetime but its just nice to watch it

I'm pretty sure the bend at the end of the pedal plate is for strength rather than aesthatics, especially since then pedal taking the most force will be mounted in the middle. Great review as always!

Thanks Barry, I just got my set a couple weeks ago and had yet to install them on my rig. I think the throttle pedal does have one additional adjustment you may have not covered but is on the Heusinkveld website, support section under the Sprint pedals tutorial video at around the 9:00 in for adjusting pedal travel. Was worth it to see this review before I get the chance to install this weekend. Great work and review as always.

Great review, I just (Dec 2022) bought the sprint pedals and the base plate. Had a nightmare with the base plate. That metal foot rest rattles like hell. I had to use 8 of those little washers (2 per hex screw) but for the price of this stuff I wouldn’t have thought I’d have been needing to do that.

Barry you sound like a Radio Pro. Top level videos dude.. thanks.

I never buy any sim hardware without looking at your reviews. I just mounted my new Sprint pedals and I'm very pleased. Thank you for great reviews

Great review as always. All of us can't wait for your Fanatec DD2 wheelbase review next please:)

Use a washer as a spacer for the 15mm hex channel bolt. For the plate assembly. They should supply them. As a easier solution.

Ok , Thanks !!

Was gonna buy v3 pedals to the rig im gonna buy. Now Iwant those, damn u Barry=)

Great review as always. I received my set of HE Sprint Pedals only a few days ago and am happy so far. I find the adjustments do make a meaningful difference and they are helpful in dialing in the way you want them to feel. I had noticed a small amount of movement on my 8020 rig so will be checking the baseplate mounting bolts and securing it with some washers now.

To anyone still on the fence buying this pedal set just buy it the price 4 performance is unparalleled.

To fix that little wiggle problem, I would use a socket wrench to tighten the standoffs and use a spanner to hold those gripping washer nuts. Don't turn the nuts, turn the standoffs. Let the nuts dig into the painted steel; if you turn the nuts, they'll scrape off the paint and the steel will be exposed to moisture. If there are plenty of washers leftover, I would use those washers between the standoffs and the painted steel. Everything will be tight and should last a time. ☺👍

Been waiting for a thorough review of theese pedals for a while now. Too bad the pedals have been sold out since they came out late in 2018. They literally sell out within minuttes. Now Huesinkveld are expanding, and hopefulle I can get my hands on a set soon. Great review as always!

I just got me a set, yet to try though. Gotta get it mounted next week. Too busy with school and certifications testing. Ordered through demon tweaks and took about a month to get in for ~$750.

My hex bolts were bottoming out on my 8020 rig to. I had to get some extra washers to stop it from doing that.

Hey Barry you can edit xml files using notepad. So glad I finally got to teach you something.

nice shifter bro. i thought it was a sequential but no, its the H pattern. good fuckin job, insane rig and nice video. very helpful. cant believe i never heard of heusinkveld before.

Tip: Don't mount the foot-rest before the pedals are mounted to your rig.

I was been waiting for a great review before i pulled the trigger on my next upgrade for my rig. I'm moving up from fanatec v3's I hope the people that made the move were please over the fanatec v3. If anyone has made the change feel free to comment. Thanks Barry.

Not me watching Barry’s video instead of reading the manual assembly 😂. Guilty🙋🏿‍♂️

Great review as they all are, thank you. I just got mine delivered and as I don´t use the clutch and brake with my left foot I still find the cable from the throttle too short for my liking. Heusinkveld could´ve made it 2-3 cm longer and saved me quite a bit of frustration.

i think the software is the best part of these pedals, just being able to adjust the brake pressure deadzone to match the car im driving to completely stop locking up

Been tossing up between these and the simworx v3 lc. I still have a hard decision to make 😁.

ah man, you're such a legend Barry. "Feel the screw, be the screw" 😂

the 3 mounting holes line up with t3pa holes

3 years old but still helped me decide to pickup a set of Team Redline Sprint pedals. Also, pretty sure your supposed to mount the heel plate AFTER you've mounted the pedals to your rig, that way it lets you adjust them as you need to.

Great video, Barry!! Just purchased these bad boys. Can’t wait to get them on my ... feet, I guess. How would you compare the Sprints to the Ultimates?

The pedals I want. But I will probably get some cheap entry level loadcell pedals.

You still get the mini controller box with the ultimate pedals but now the pedals are RJ connectors that you plug into the controller box, I received my HE ultimates 6 days ago.

If Barry put the 40mm spacers on the heel plate and the 20mm spacers on the pedal plate, he would have the same height difference but 20mm more access for pedal adjustments

These are the pedals I will buy one day. But almost impossible to find them!! I hope they will increase production.

I just got these installed and working on my rig last night. They're really easy to setup in the software but mine don't have any of these preset profiles installed. Am I overlooking something or were these pre-installed by the person that loaned them to you? EDIT: Never mind, I see they're on the Heusinkveld site under the support section! Not sure how i didn't see them when i downloaded the software.

Where did I learn the most before college? From Barry's engineering lessons.

Look for Barry's mixtape "Lugs and Plugs" coming soon with more sick rhymes.

Great review...you really punish those pedals...if everything still stays solid after that testing then we know it will be good.

How much does the length of the lever and the location of the spring rod connecting to the lever affect the feel (e.g. compared to Ultimate with longer level, and the spring rod closer to center of lever)?

i miss u :(

Im tossing up between these or the Simworx pro pedals, would be an interesting comparison.

do you think I Could use these pedals on a desk and computer chair? they look pretty straight with no tilt the the fanatec v3s. thanks for the info, Jeremy.

The down and dirty solution to the pedal mounting problem, for me, would be to take a cut-off wheel and cut down the allen wrench to a stubbie length. Sometimes a little custom tool is the best solution.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Looks like it's been deleted already, but sorry Barry. I had a very bad day and said some stupid stuff last night. You reviews are thorough and so detailed and the sim community is better for it. I know that you spend many hours on these too. You are the sim review man!

Does the Ultimates have the same software for calibration and multiple profiles for different cars ?

still can’t believe the video length 😮😝

For some reason during callibration throttle and clutch get reversed. They read good initially until I try to callibrate then they switch. I tried to plug them to the opposing socets to no avail.Any idea what might be going on?

Any issues with the exposed board on the brake pedal, collecting dust, dog hair, etc? Is it safe to vacuum that out or avoid due to static electricity? How do you clean that?

@SimRacingGarage Did you figure out why the brake load cell maxed out at 40?

Seems like the Pros and the Ultras are much more thought through when it comes to adjusting and mounting. Also the pedal plate for Pro and Ultra is easier to work with.

Hi Barry in your opinion which do you prefer the Heusinkveld ULTIMATE Sprint Pedals or the HPP 3P-PRX. Anyone else chip in as I am going to buy this week, thanks :)

Excellent review . I bought the Heusinkveld sim pedal Pro s based on your review you did of them . They are excellent pedals and I am totally happy with them . I want to buy another set of pedals for my second rig and I am not sure if I should go for the Heusinkveld sim pedal Pro s again or the Heusinkveld sim pedal sprints . I would really like to know what you think . If you could have the Pros or the sprints , at the same price , which would you choose and why ??? Hope to hear from you and look forward to your next review !!!

I wonder how hard it would be to mount these inverted in a Sim lab GT1 Evo rig...

Pretty sure those angles are 120 degrees (made to fit a hex nut), so 30+ degrees off from being acute... Nitpicking, I know. =)

Are there any compatibility issues with these pedals for any games? Are they easily recognized? I play everything from sim racing to the crew 2

So if you mounted the pedals before the heel rest you could get to the underneath from the front it looks like?

really surprised they didnt use carriage bolts for the pedal mounts. would have been the way to do. put the nuts on top and never need to get to the bottom.

Thank you Barry. I can afford these but vs the Fanatec V3s, is it worth it? Price vs performance wise. It’ll cost me twice the V3s for the 2 pedal set and plate to get them shipped to Japan. The V3 inverted would be a little cheaper. Thoughts?

Question buddy, would you buy the sprints or get a 2nd hand pro set, if the price of the pro set was around 250 euros ? Thanks in advance!

Seems money is not a problem for an endurance GT3 driver, these or ultimate?

Hi, barry why the kg diffrence between 32 calibration kgr and 47kgr profile ? thanks

Hi! Do you happen to know where to buy the 20mm and 40mm spacers? I bought mine used but didn't come with them and the plate is too low imo.

Hi Barry, I have the Ultimates but barley use the brake capacity (around 60kg for me). I'm planning to downgrade to the sprints to take advantage of the HE smart software. Do you think this is a good idea?

Hi, Very good program, I have few question, what you recommend: Leo Bodnar 54 or Simucube ultimate and wish pedals to make a training sim, I gonna build inside a Mygale F4 chassis Thank you

Amazing review by Barry as always. Only one question that is it possible to mount the pedals on the rSeat RS1 rig or do i need an extra plate?

1:23:06 Could you let me know the bolt size for mounting pedals to Tray.

what happened to the 20kg of missing force required to push the brake
