Upgrading from first setup

[XXx_Yoshi67_xXX]

I have had my thrustmaster 150 pro for a while now and are looking to upgrade. I am want to stay in the thrustmaster ecosystem because the Fanatec one is too expensive for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am open to second-hand options.

What is your budget ?

Depends on your budget.

I straight went from the T300 and the T3PA to some proper Pedals (HE Sprints) and a few months later for a Direct Drive Unit (Simucube 2 Pro).

Budget is around the £250 to £300 margin

Many agree that a load cell brake makes most driving improvement.
With patience, used eBay T-LCM go for £155 and used T300 for about the same.
There is a TX for sale here

Thanks blekenblue. I heard that pedals were a vital part of a sim rig but I just felt like my wheel base and rim was not high end enough to warrent buying better pedals. I think I'll look into that listing a bit more

While I enjoy my DD wheel more, load cell (G29) brake improved driving more.
FWIW modded G29 pedals are still used, now also with degressive clutch and increased throttle inertia.

Maybe for a "cost effective upgrade have a look at the "True Brake" mod for Logitech.
I have no personal experience with this but Barry spoke quite fondly about it :

And they are in the forum, look for theyr thread at the stickys above.

On the topic of pedals I found this. https://www.loadcellmod.com/ They look decent for upgrading pedals to load cell

Dammit, I got the pedal type wrong!

Some how I thought you were driving Logitech, so my post above is completely off the point.

The mentioned loadcell mod would be a costeffective way to upgrade.
For me personally I wouldn´t be content with it for long, so if you can stomach it look for the T-LCM pedals which are superior in every way.

They should last longer with the hall sensors, are definitely better customisable with springs and bumpers.

Better pedals in the long run but 2,5x the price of the loadcell mod.

Never an easy decision,
