Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals ( sale !! )

[Soarfeat]

In case anyone is wanting to try out rudder pedals, I saw these on sale ( Amazon )  for @ 56 dollars. I know, they are not metal, they are plastic and not premium pedals but for this price it is a nice set for anyone wanting to try them out. Also, at this price I went ahead and got a pair in case my old ch pedals mess up.

I got these and this is a must have at that price, I'd get them as a backup pair. These things feel much better to me than my over 10 year old CH pedals. Great product for the price.

Pros: tough, reliable, stable, good brake action, reasonable price.

Cons: pedals *very* close together - worse than many cars. Lots of stiction in the pedal travel - be ready to grease the rails like a ladyboy's buttocks. Pedals lie pretty flat at full brake travel, and can bind up the rudder action. 

 

They'll do to get you started, or as an emergency back-up, but their real role is to keep you going long enough to save up for a set of Crosswinds.

Salutations,

 

Are there any good lubrication products that are recommended that can improve any stiction problems?

[ruby_monkey]

I would have thought that any reasonably thick mineral grease would do the job.

Good grief the price has dropped 5 dollars since I bought--- they are now 51 dollars---   ( just a heads up, get'em while they're hot )

As far as a lubricant for stuff like this that may have some plastic contact --- I use this silicone paste https://www.amazon.com/3M-08946-Clear-Silicone-Paste/dp/B005RNEH5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498598509&sr=8-1&keywords=silicone+paste

Since it's Amazon, you can always return them if you don't like them. It's a good opportunity for first time pedal users.

Bought the t1600m fcs and pedals separately for 150ish since the whole set is 180 and so far I love it!
