Hi guys!
I had promised an update for a few of you. It is going to be long :)
Early 2019 i had made a decision to quit my business at Spa-Francorchamps in order to chase my dream and move back to the Nürburgring to concentrate on consumer level simracing gear. I have gained very valuable experience working with world class drivers and teams alike. I wish the best of luck for Simtag sprl's future.
There are some very interesting developments going on in our hobby recently, and i would like to share my contribution to a whole new eco-system of products.
I will share more details along the way, for now here are some pictures of what's going to be one of the most fairly priced, yet very high performance line of pedals that should be launched in a group buy, after the pre-production units has checked out.
The background story and motivation:
There are some cool but in most cases over complicated motorsport based hydraulic pedal systems hitting the market every year now.
I have learned a lot working with Tilton based systems.
In order to get those systems relatively affordable most devs has to cut cost on the hydraulic parts or sensors, otherwise the product becomes non affordable for most of us.
The goals:
I would like to be able to offer fairly priced, widely available, modular, highly adjustable system that is scalable and upgradeable in many ways. Starting from:
- 2 pedal system
- 3 pedal system with spring loaded clutch
- 3 pedal system with hydraulic clutch
- and ends up at the highest end you can possibly do, using AP racing or Tilton bearing mounted master cylinders and swiss made precision instrumental sensors.
The way to get there:
The only way i see to get there is to bespoke build everything, using the most experienced fabs to produce hydraulic parts, and cnc machined parst, especially made for our hobby.
First decision was to get rid of the balance bar, and dual master cylinder setups, that you find in most cases.
Next step was to find the fab that has experience with bearing mounted master cylinders. These are very different in construction compared to traditional master cylinders that was invented by Girling and was around for 60 years now.
These things are used at the highest level of motorsport, and usually cost 250-1000$ each.
They have multiple advantages. The fluid does not meet the O rings, they build pressure quicker, they can take higher pressures, they feel much more positive, because of their nature you can mount them in a more cost effective way, and the end result is a highly adjustable system.
I have managed to convince the fab to also build the slave cylinders to similar specification. Something that has been a main issue in the past.
Final step was to design a very adjustable, sturdy, yet easy to produce mechanics around those that also look cool in your living room, man cave and equip them with high quality sensors. In this case you see automotive pressure sensors and an industrial linear position sensor for the throttle.
It provides 0.01mm repeatable precision with 50 million use cycles.
First pre-production units are not for sale, it is for testing and promotional reviews. I will share actual pictures and videos as soon as they get here, and i am happy with the quality of the job the fab had to offer.
Scale production will require a pre-order or group buy system, that i want to avoid unless it gets your support, and no bitching about production times, that can initially take 2-3 months.
What you see is a stage 3 system, using hydraulic clutch and brake. Target price is 990€ with cheaper and higher end options possible in the future.
Let me know what you think, please keep it polite if you can, and ask details or share the passion! :) It is going to need some community support to make this happen!
