My full review of the new XP1 Pedals by Simlabs. Expectations are high as Simlabs normally only builds top quality Sim Racing gear. Will these XP1 pedals live up to the Simlab name? Lets see....

Had them since release and honestly love them. Have added 0.4K to my iRating in about six weeks after plateauing for a while and put it down to this upgrade. As you mention, people should probably cost for a heel plate if they don’t already have one, as distance between rig pedal plate and pedal face will be too much for the majority of shoe sizes. I made mine out of some stiffened foam insert I bought off eBay for fairly cheap and reversed the pedal face 180 degrees, for example.

Hi, and wish you the best for your YT channel ! Keep going no matter what ppl saying... I was almost sure to buy the Simagic with the Haptic system = now these are better. Wondering = can we install haptic on these?

@TheSimCircuit 8 ай бұрын

Haptics will be a diy job on these, not impossible but allot of work. If you want haptic feedback go with SiMagic. Watch my latest video about the p1000 the brakes are now fixed. Still not as accurate as what these pedals are but will now be ok for 99% of sim racers. If shakers are not a priority then go with the SimLab xp1 pedals. Choices are getting much harder for us not like few years ago when choices were limited.

Congratulations for your videos. ONE QUESTION, PLEASE: Between the Sim-Lab XP1 and the Simagic P1000 pedals, which is the best, according to your experience and your tests? Thank you in advance.

@TheSimCircuit 5 ай бұрын

If you are buying the standard P1000’s then I think Sim-Lab XP1 pedals are better. However if you upgrade the p1000 pedals then I think the p1000’s are slightly better but after upgrading the p1000’s they will cost allot more than the XP1 pedals. I think out of the box the XP1 pedals offer allot for the money they can be adjusted to suit almost any sim racer but you can’t upgrade the XP1’s but I did get the SiMagic shakers to work on my XP1 pedals. Again this is a tough decision 😂🫣

I have had 2 major failing with the throttle pedal, on both times the magnetic sensor has sheard off the pedal. Both were terminal, after the 1st one simplace replaced the pedal quickly without any fuss, however after the second failing, Sim Lab has said they will repair it, 1 failing can be down to anything, however 2 failings, means to me the pedals are not Fit for purpose

Would you prefer these over the Asetek Invicta pedals?

@TheSimCircuit 7 ай бұрын

Personally I prefer these but only because the invictas you need to push with allot of power to be able to utilise the 2 stage braking, I have an injury in my left knee so the SimLabs more comfortable to me to use. SimLabs very adjustable can feel like a real sports car or stiffened like a race car. Asetek makes no excuses they are emulating real race cars so pedals very short travel & very stiff Both amazing sets of pedals

That's weird. The position readings are integer steps only. e.g. 78.0%, 79.0%, 80.0%.

I believe in iracing when calibrating that’s the case I’m going to have a look later and check telemetry data I will except these to be more accurate than increments of 1%

Well mate I own both and I can imagine it’s a hard choice but rest assured does not matter if you go p1000 or xp1’s you will be happy with either. I love running my xp1’s especially now I got the haptics connected to them 🤩 the xp1’s are more adjustable that’s why I prefer using them but if the addons like hydraulics are important to you then p1000s are ones to go with 🤷🏼‍♂️ Sorry if I did not the choice easier 🫣

I assume that these pedals would not be suitable for a NLR Wheel Stand 2.0 (Still waiting on acquiring a real rig). Is that assumption correct?

@TheSimCircuit 6 ай бұрын

I just had a look and I can’t see any problems with mounting them if that’s what you are worried about. I would consider a good rig and pedals probably thee most important things when buying sim gear. Yes a direct drive base is nice but without a solid foundation it’s no good and as for pedals they are the one thing that can certainly make you faster and more consistent compared to other upgrades. I would say if you are planning on buying both a set of pedals & a rig then go ahead and buy the pedals as it won’t be a money wasted cause when you do buy a rig you just gona slap them onto your new rig anyway 🙌🏻

@adambaker6510 8 ай бұрын

How do they compare to the P1000’s hydraulic brake either haptics?

@TheSimCircuit 8 ай бұрын

Obviously missing the haptic feedback allot as it is a game changer but these are more precise and accurate for sure even when compared to the p1000 PHYS hydraulic system. So if you are a professional sim racer I think that 5% difference in drop off might be something to consider but for the likes of 99% of simracers I would say the 5-8% drop off with the siMagic p1000 is acceptable. Also the SimLab pedals are not hydraulic 🤷🏼‍♂️ choices are getting harder in the Sim market 😊
