Thrustmaster Raceline LC Upgrade
Load cell brake kit that turns Raceline LTE or III pedals into a Raceline III LC
Description
The Thrustmaster Raceline LC Upgrade converts a Raceline Pedals LTE or Raceline Pedals III into a Raceline Pedals III LC by adding a load cell brake.
Brake. The load cell is rated to 100 kg (220 lb) with 24-bit resolution and an 11° travel angle. Force is set between 25 and 100 kg in four configurations with springs and an elastomer buffer, without tools, and a preload dial adjusts it in ±5 kg steps.
In the kit. The LC brake pedal, a metal top plate for three pedals, metal gas and clutch pedal heads, a clutch spring, a carpet grip, pedal-to-pedal cables, RJ45, USB-C and triple-jack-to-RJ12 cables, and a Torx wrench.
Compatibility. On consoles it works through Thrustmaster force feedback bases (except the T500); on PC (Windows 10/11) it works with all bases via USB. Travel, dead zones and response curves are set in My Thrustmaster Panel or on the T598 Race Dash.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The Raceline LC Upgrade is for Raceline LTE or III owners, including T598 bundle owners, who want pressure-based braking for repeatable brake points and trail braking in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Gran Turismo 7. On the LTE it also adds a clutch position for manual cars and rally. Best for existing Raceline owners upgrading step by step; less suited for new buyers, since the Raceline Pedals III LC costs less than an LTE plus this kit.
Build quality
The kit is 100% metal and modular: a load cell brake with springs, elastomer buffer and preload dial, a metal three-pedal top plate and metal pedal heads (assembled set 350 × 360 × 210 mm; kit weight 2.32 kg). It matches the build of the Raceline Pedals III LC.
Software
Once installed, pedal travel, dead zones and response curves (EQUALIZER) are adjusted in My Thrustmaster Panel on Windows 10/11 or on the T598 Race Dash screen. On consoles the pedals connect through a Thrustmaster force feedback base; on PC a direct USB-C connection is available. SimHub can read the inputs on PC.
