Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals Review - A Big Reputation Well Earned

Lovely presentation Danny.
The Heusinkveld Sprints are undoubtedly the dogs bits downstairs. I love mine.

Thanks for the video. Very tempted to upgrade from my fanatec csl pedals (original ones)

I made the same transition from the V3's to the sprints about a year ago. Never looked back 👍🏻 Very happy with them.
Do see you mount them exactly to your rig, tempted to also try without the baseplate.
Cheers to the review

Just been through a €3500 rig upgrade, and the Sprints were ordered before I'd even decided on which DD ecosystem I was going to go with (Simucube in the end)

I was lucky in being able to do everything in one fell swoop. However what I would say to anybody who's looking at the next step up but the budget doesn't allow everything in one go is:-

Rig first, as this will be the foundation for everything else, and mount your existing hardware to it. Then the pedals - the pedals are by far the most important sim racing input device as they will have by far the greatest effect on your performance. The DD wheelbase and wheel rims can come last. While they may seem the most exciting part of upgrading, they are actually the least important.

I love watching pedal reviews that’s worth 3 times more than my rig - still is informative though if I won the lottery - good content!

Would you like to share your settings????

When I saw your Fanatec wake up vid I suspected something like this was coming. Good choice sir! Seems like we’re going the same way from Fanatec but something I really like with them is the eco system so I really hoping Asetek bring out a wheel base to compliment the Invicta pedals I decided upon

Thanks Danny that was very useful.
I have decided that my initial thought to get a set of sprints was correct.
They will be a nice improvement from my original Fanatec CSL Load Cell setup.
Just need to get the money together now.

Beautiful and smashed the like button.🥰🇨🇦

nice job reviewing the HS. i love my HS's

I went from CSL elites to V3, at first i was like oh boy these v3's look awesome but i was a bit disappointed in how they felt and especially not much room for adjustments. Used the v3 for maybe 6 months and went Sprints and never looked back once they are really great and worth the money imo

I chose the HPP JBVs over the HEs when I upgraded from the V3s back in 2020. I’m really regretting that decision now. HPP is out of business. Just closed the doors and sold the rights to manufacture the pedals to another company. No heads up, no warrings just nothing. My pedals need to be repaired as the potentiometers in the accelerator and clutch have failed. Like many other sets of JBVs. HPP doesn’t respond to any emails. I feel like I was ripped off by Mark at HPP.

The HE software is so good it’s practically (or literally) like cheating if you want it to be. Almost Worth the price difference from V3s alone if your main goal is to improve lap times.

That toaster bit at the end got a real lol out of me.
also I think I may switch out my v3s this summer after watching this

Very nicely done. Considering these or the new venym pedals. No hurry since I’m using clubsport v3s but I do want to upgrade.

As others have likely said, I’ve owned for 2 plus years and they still rank as my favourite sim upgrade even over DD. Only itch is to possibly go ultimates? Ha. Great review, where can one buy the HE toaster?

i like the shorter format of the review but still getting alot of information. have been looking into getting either these ones or the VRS pedals/wheelbase and trying to gather as much info as possible. thanks for a good down to the point vid.

Have them for over 2 years now, zero maintenance, still feel as day 1.

just curious,does it solve the issue on sim racing clutch pedals where you can actually feel the biting point like in a real car.hehe

Hi Danny, great vid! I’d love a set of these but I don’t have the room for a rig to mount them on. I did however follow your video from a couple of years ago about improving the stability of the V3 pedal base with the bits of timber (and up against a wall). It worked a treat with my V2 pedals as since then I’ve been able to apply a lot of pressure to the brake without fear of them lifting up! Do you think a similar mounting could be possible with the Sprints (presumably with the baseplate at least)? Cheers!

Excellent review! 👍

HE Sprints are just a no brainer really.
Great pedals, even greater service and support, and the resell value is good as well due to the reputation they have.

You’re literally on the same upgrade path as me. I just got these, previously I had V3s and before that I had Fanatec csls, I also had the Fanatec clubsport elite, and went to the csl dd boosted kit. I do a lot more nascar though but can appreciate the linear software adjustments and all the details. Can’t wait to get mine. If you watch my recent Mascar highlight with a 10th to 2nd place push in 2 laps after an hour long race, you can thank my upgrades I’m time. I also went the route to get my chassis upgraded. I’m in Canada so I got the ASR3 from Advanced sim racing and I also got a bass shaker about 6 months back. World of difference!

Great review

great vid, thinking of up grading from my v3 , you mentioned your gtomega prime rig new pedal mount , can i purchase them from gtomega 👍🏿

I just want to say that I seriously appreciate how you explain things from a racer's perspective, like the "Why People Upgrade" segment. Anyone can talk about the smoothness, tactile feel, build quality and so on, but while you cover this very well you also tap into feelings felt on-track in the heat of battle and how this hardware can benefit you in actual competitive scenarios. Some reviewers leave me doubting that they even race at all. Good on ya.

Great and thorough video, thank you!

I'm also coming from the ClubSport V3s, so I'm curious about two thing:
1.) How do you find not having the vibration on the brake pedal? I've found this feature incredibly helpful, although admittedly close to what you discuss in the video with regards to it almost feeling like cheating a bit, since that kind of feedback isn't in a car without ABS.
2.) Aside from cost, was there any reason you went with the Sprints as opposed to the Ultimate+'s?

Sprints are awesome pedals. I upgraded to these the Fanatec CSLs with load cell which I never could get on with.

No lie the difference to me was like braking with and without ABS. Obviously I meant with ABS is the feeling I get from the sprints.

what size of slot nuts did you use and what size of screws i would like to mount them without a baseplate

it's fascinating that danny's simracing videos have already featured bread, bu'er, potatoes, chips, onions, ketchup, tea, milk. Keep them going.

Nice review. Have you tried the Ultimate+?

Really well presented informative video 👍👍

What do pedals work on xbox one?

I learned so much more than I expected from this review. I not only got a comprehensive look at the product, I also got to watch your shoes do things, learn helpful butter analogies, and added the phrase "heat seeking boxing gloves" to my vocabulary.

Could you/anyone tell me the diameter of the brake rod? or the inner diameter of the rubber? :)

My level of sim racing skill.... IM A POTATO!! 😂

Does ordering in digital motorsport make you pay 20% vat when you live in England?

I have yet to get a sim set up, I was originally going to go the Fanatec route, but after putting thought into how serious I’d like to take racing, im gonna have to go Moza R9 + Sprints. I’m looking for the best quality I can get so any excuses are thrown out the window and my lack of skill is on the forefront. I want to burn away the weaknesses with concise and straightforward proofs of my inconsistencies, mistakes, and mishaps. I simply cannot do that on anything less than the best. Breaks are more than just a tool to stop the car. They help with rotation, weight transfers, speed control in S curves, etc. i need something that read all of that into my feet directly like I’m driving my irl car. Im not ready yet to get these, but I’m getting them without any doubt in my soul.

I moved from these to VNM and couldn't be happier, the built quality full CNC construction and ball bearings on all moving parts stand them apart from the competition. On top of that they are also cheaper 😁

they are very good pedals. A bit overpriced IMO but you have to pay extra for the euro tax. I'd say in reality they are probably $400 pedals.

Do you still use them? I just watched your moza r12 review and you seem to be using cheap modified logitech pedals.

Hi do i need to let the software open in the background to use the modifications that i made or can i close the app and the settings are saved ? Thank you ❤️

Heusinkveld support is awesome but it's got a faulty design. The face plate has only one screw and it keeps on getting loose while doing heeltoe. Extremely frustrating!

The sleigh riding is crazy

My only regret buying the V3s was not buying these instead.

Another great video. I had my Sprints for about two years and have never regretted buying them. They really are some of the BEST pedals you can buy!

Hi Danny, how would you compare the Simgrade VX pro to the sprint , will you still choose the Sprints over them?

hello, how can I download a preset for pedals to save. Like you in the video? there is no download on the site :( CAN YOU HELP? thanks
