In this video, we show you how to customize the brake pedal on DC Simracing’s DC2 RS pedal set, focusing on two key aspects to achieve a more natural and responsive feel: replacing the elastomers and adjusting the load cell response.
The DC2 RS is a pedal set designed for those looking for realistic and adjustable feedback, with a 100 kg load cell sensor and the option of using interchangeable elastomers of different hardness to adapt the resistance and behavior of the brake to your driving style and different racing situations.
In the video, you will see how to disassemble the brake pedal, remove the elastomers, and choose new combinations of hardness, which directly influence both the feeling of progressiveness and the actual pedal travel. A configuration with softer elastomers offers longer travel and a smoother entry, while harder elastomers make the pedal more resistant and responsive during hard braking.
We also guide you through adjusting the internal spring preload and calibrating the brake curve using software, so you can maximize braking force control and find the right balance between sensitivity and power. This type of setup is particularly useful for simulations such as Assetto Corsa Competizione or iRacing, where the precision and consistency of brake feedback make all the difference in a race.
Follow the step-by-step tutorial to get a pedal set tailored to you and improve your performance on the track, with a setup that responds exactly to your driving sensations.
In this video, we will see how to properly maintain the DC2 RS pedal set from DC Simracing, so that it remains precise, smooth, and high-performing over time. Although the pedals are made of sturdy materials and designed to last a long time, periodic maintenance is important to preserve the driving feel and prevent unwanted noise or friction.
The DC2 RS uses stainless steel components, ball bearings, and high-quality sensors, but some moving parts require cleaning and lubrication after many hours of use to maintain smooth operation. Before each operation, it is essential to clean the pedal set of dust and dirt, preventing residues from mixing with oil or grease and causing friction or encrustations.
During maintenance, you will learn how to apply synthetic lubricant to moving metal parts and how to check the integrity of springs, pins, and guides, ensuring that everything is properly aligned and without excessive play. This type of care not only keeps the pedal set ready for intense sessions, but can also improve control response and extend the product’s useful life.
By following the step-by-step tutorial, you can keep your DC2 RS quiet, responsive, and comfortable, ready to give you the best feedback during your virtual rides.
