Thrustmaster Raceline Pedals III LC
All-metal 3-pedal set with 100 kg, 24-bit load cell brake
Description
The Thrustmaster Raceline Pedals III LC is a three-pedal set with a load cell brake that measures pressure rather than travel. The load cell handles up to 100 kg (220 lb) with 24-bit resolution across an 11° travel angle.
Brake tuning. Brake force runs from 25 to 100 kg across four configurations using three included springs and an elastomer buffer, changeable without tools, and a preload dial fine-tunes it in ±5 kg steps. Pedal travel, dead zones and response curves are set in software.
Throttle and clutch. Both use contactless H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensors; the clutch is removable for a two-pedal layout. Pedal position and height are adjustable.
Build and connection. A full metal structure with anthracite non-slip textured pedal heads (350 × 360 × 210 mm, 4.6 kg). RJ45, USB-C and triple-jack-to-RJ12 cables are included: RJ45 to the T598, USB to PC, or RJ12 to Thrustmaster force feedback bases on console (except the T500).
Features & highlights
Driving style
The Raceline Pedals III LC are aimed at drivers who want pressure-based braking for repeatable brake points and trail braking. The 24-bit load cell and up to 100 kg of force suit GT and endurance racing in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate and Gran Turismo 7, and the removable clutch covers historic cars, rally and drifting with an H-pattern shifter. Best for Thrustmaster owners, especially T598 users, upgrading from Hall or potentiometer pedals; less suited for drivers without a rigid cockpit, since high brake forces push light floor or desk setups around.
Build quality
The Raceline Pedals III LC use a fully metal frame and pedal arms with anthracite non-slip textured metal pedal heads (350 × 360 × 210 mm, 4.6 kg). The brake combines a load cell with three springs, an elastomer buffer and a preload dial. It is a modular design shared with the Raceline LTE and III sets, so parts can be upgraded rather than replaced.
Software
On PC the pedals are tuned in My Thrustmaster Panel on Windows 10/11: pedal travel, dead zones and response curves (EQUALIZER). With a T598 base the same settings are available on the Race Dash screen, which is also how they are tuned on PlayStation. On console the pedals connect through a Thrustmaster force feedback base (RJ12) or the T598 (RJ45); on PC Thrustmaster recommends a direct USB connection for best resolution with other bases. SimHub can read the inputs on PC.
