Meca cup review, the Best sim pedals?
Today we look at the Meca Cup 1's and see if these superb looking sim racing pedals can stack up against the VRS and Heusinkveld Sprints. featuring 100kg Loadcell in the brake pedals, and innovative design from 3mm laser cut stainless steel, these pedals will not flex!
update There where a couple of errors made in this film. Meca Cups do in fact come with 3 individual rubber bumpstops for each grade, not the two that I showed in the film, the set I used for this film are a demo set and some of the bumpstops have been lost during their life.
Also I quoted the wrong shipping rate in USD for the Meca's. The correct pricing is in the text on screen......... Sorry!
We will be adding a further film in a few days with a full on rig review of how they preform, including data comparisons with the VRS pedals and the Sprints.
These pedals were kindly loaned to us by Race at Home, who are the UK supplier for Meca Cup pedals, as well as OBP, Pimax VR, and they also offer a range of motion simulator rigs, for more info contact Bob or Aaron at www.raceathome.co.uk/
