Fanatec V3 pedal load cel

[q445187]

This message is a review of the Conspit V3 pedal load cel

I won't go into my 3 month journey through hell trying to get Fanatec to send me a load cel replacement after mine cracked. As of this writing 2 weeks ago the guy promised me he "ran down to the shop to have one sent out immediately", apologizing AGAIN, saying to me "this is unacceptable" blah blah blah. 2 weeks later, still NO ORDER even generated. Yes, I know about the boosted media video with the CEO of Corsair that sounded very positive, it hasn't happened yet.

I don't like to order Chinese stuff, from China, from a brand I have never heard of, from AliExpress. I desperately needed my pedals to work. After putting it off for to long hoping Fanatec would pull their head out, after doing searches several times to find ANYTHING about the Conspit load cel, I FINALLY found ONE guy that said it was great. I went against everything I believed and ordered it.

It is expensive, over $100 on Ebay and AliExpress. AliExpress had an 11.11 sale, there was a coupon too, I got it for $88 delivered. Delivery was a 10 day window, it arrived the day before the 10 day window started! As you can see from the picture when you look it up, the construction is what Fanatec should have done to begin with. The fit was perfect. I had to lower the preload by .5, and the BRF by a bunch because this is obviously rated higher force than the original. I should have ordered it 3 months ago, it works perfect.

I’ve just had the same breakage of the V3 pedals load cell. I believe it was cracked for quite some time before a wire started having an intermittent connection issue which was causing my braking to delay and eventually I had the brakes stick on while I was in the wall a few times.

Terrible to go through because you feel like you’re losing your mind and can’t time braking points anymore.

Just ordered the Conspit cell and hopefully it arrives before I miss too many GT7 and WRC league events.
Unreal how there’s no company with a solution in the US and that Fanatec still doesn’t offer a replacement part.


The metal strap is broke at both rivets.

Agreed.

You will like the Conspit. I vaguely remember at some point hearing a loud "crack" sound, it didn't dawn on me till much later when I started having "weird" brake issues.

If you'll look down in my signature there is info about my car settings on Rumble, and PSN if you are interested. You may not need car settings, but if you do, everything there is a proven 1st place on hard unless otherwise noted. I am not an influencer and don't have super produced videos, just 10 seconds with everything you need to know to win. Be sure to read the descriptions as there are usually necessary notes.

I didn't start doing that to impress anyone or make money, I was making them on my phone so I could refer to them later (I run 3 profiles). My phone got full, (I have almost 200 of them!) so I needed an place to put them where I could easily get to them wherever I was when I needed to. So now others can benefit from my many hours of R&D as well! If you do, please like and comment. It boggles my mind that people can't take a second to do that.

100% with an audible crack quite some time ago and I looked at everything I could think of and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
It took months to finally cause an issue I could track down and I was shocked at how crappy the original design was.

Thanks for confirming the new load cell is a good fix!

I’ll check out your tunes cheers!
