Cammus LC100 Review

Sent over to me by Cammus for review, the LC100 actually provides a lot of value for its price point, especially when looking at the competition in the market.

Starting with their build quality, it’s very commendable. Made almost entirely of metal, I found no flex in any of the pedal arms or plates. From a design perspective, all three pedals look nearly identical, with the same steel pedal arms and metallic casing found on all three. The main differences are the additional damper on the brake, the control box integrated into the throttle, and of course, the different positions and colors of the springs.

The pedal faces are made entirely of metal and have had significant thought put into them; however, they have a big flaw. With no rounded edges and the metallic pedal faces having a lot of cutouts for different mounting positions, I did find them uncomfortable to use with socks - especially when heel-toe downshifting, where my foot would be hitting against the rough edges of the throttle. Moreover, the finish of these pedal faces isn’t necessarily smooth, meaning with socks I can’t comfortably glide my foot around, and it forced me to use shoes for any long race stints - something I don’t like to do.

Ultimately though, these pedal faces aren’t bad; they have no flex, look decent, and will provide you with significant mounting versatility. I believe this presents a perfect opportunity for Cammus to sell optional pedal faces separately, more geared towards users who race with socks or barefoot and want a more premium finish.

Moving onto the pedal plate, a big oversight is found here. The metallic pedal plate features several mounting inserts for you to adjust the side-to-side and forward-and-back position of all three pedals individually; however, in order to attach these pedals onto the plate, you must bolt them down from the bottom, meaning that when it’s all put together, you’ll have bolts sticking out from beneath.

Unfortunately, this means that if you are mounting this onto a typical cockpit pedal plate, you won’t be able to do so. As such, this will only be able to be used with sim racing cockpits that don’t rely on a flat mounting plate for the pedals - something which isn’t too common. The good news is that if you’re in this situation, you don’t actually need this pedal plate at all as you can independently and more freely mount all three pedals as you wish, something which I did and was very happy with. As a result of this, I believe Cammus should consider selling this pedal plate as an optional accessory, making users who don’t need it pay a little less.

Individual Pedals

Moving onto the pedals specifically, let’s start with the throttle. As standard, I found the throw and resistance of this pedal to be very commendable and very much to my liking. However, if you prefer more resistance and more travel or vice versa, those changes are also available by adjusting the position of the spring.

I found the various changes to be quite drastic, and unlike much higher-end pedals, you won’t be able to make minimal and fine-tuned changes, something which is expected at this price point. Ultimately though, I found the throttle to be great for my personal preference, and the hall effect sensor has remained accurate and reliable thus far.

Moving onto the clutch, it’s very similar to the throttle pedal in terms of both design and functionality, with the main difference being that it comes with a stiffer spring. Unfortunately, the clutch pedal isn’t anything revolutionary. It features a completely linear travel mechanism with no system to depict a clutch bite point, something which I can understand.

Regardless of that, its performance on track left me with little to complain about. It too uses a hall effect sensor and can have both its travel and resistance significantly adjusted. With its strong spring, it does have a very firm rebound, something which I would prefer to be a bit more subtle. This presents another opportunity for Cammus as they could sell optional springs and dampers to offer even more fine-tuning, more precise than what’s currently in store. Overall though, the clutch pedal did its job, giving me no flex or issues on track, and staying consistent throughout.

Now moving onto the brake pedal, a 100kg load cell brake is found here along with an adjustable damper. One of the things I liked about it is that, unlike many high-performance pedals, it actually allowed me to set a medium to light resistance on it - something I personally like as it closely mimics the feeling in my real-world cars.

Conversely, a very stiff configuration can be set - however, one thing I did not like was the spongy feeling of the damper when set at the highest resistance setting, something I only noticed when testing various pedal configurations but thankfully not something I had to deal with as I ran the damper at a much lower resistance. As for me, this brake pedal has done a good job, especially again considering its price. The versatility here is big as it will suit different preferences but similarly to the other two pedals, won’t give that extremely precise adjustability you’ll find when spending more.

Conclusion

All put together, this pedal set provided good on-track performance. Wearing shoes, I felt comfortable heel-toe downshifting and being aggressive with my inputs. The hall effect and load cell sensors were always precise, and some further adjustability could be done in the Cammus software, albeit nothing you haven’t seen before.

All in all, considering the price tag for this pedal set, it’s easy for me to recommend. As I’ve pointed out, it’s certainly not perfect, and there are opportunities for Cammus to offer solutions, but overall, it’s a pedal set that I’ll be using for the time being.

What Should I Know About the Build Quality of the LC100 Pedals?
The LC100 Loadcell Pedals by Cammus are known for their robust build quality, featuring steel pedal arms, metallic casings, and metal pedal faces. Designed with significant thought for mounting versatility, these pedals are almost entirely made of metal, ensuring they stand up to intense racing sessions without flexing. However, users should note that the pedal faces, while durable and versatile, may be uncomfortable when used with socks due to their unrounded edges and non-smooth finish.

What are the Drawbacks of the Cammus LC100 Pedals
The metal pedal faces, while durable, lack rounded edges and have a non-smooth finish, leading to potential discomfort for users who prefer racing in socks or barefoot. The design of the pedal plate, requiring bottom bolting, limits compatibility with some sim racing cockpits due to protruding bolts.

Additionally, the adjustability of the throttle and clutch pedals, although significant, does not allow for fine-tuned changes, which might not satisfy racers seeking precise control over pedal resistance and travel. Finally, the brake pedal's highest resistance setting can feel spongy, detracting from the desired stiff and precise braking experience.

How Good is the Pedal Plate Included With the Cammus LC100 Pedals?
The LC100 comes with a metallic pedal plate that allows for adjustable positioning of each pedal. However, the design requires bolting the pedals from the bottom, leading to protruding bolts that may not be compatible with flat mounting surfaces typical in many sim racing cockpits. This design oversight suggests that the pedal plate might be more suitable as an optional accessory, offering buyers the choice to opt-out and save if it doesn’t meet their setup needs.

How Does the Throttle Pedal Perform in the LC100 Set?
The throttle pedal in the Cammus LC100 set is praised for its commendable throw and resistance, satisfying a wide range of racing preferences. While the pedal allows for significant adjustments, it's worth noting that the adjustments are broad, lacking the fine-tuning available with more premium pedals. Despite this, the throttle pedal's performance, backed by an accurate and reliable hall effect sensor, is well-regarded among users for its responsiveness and durability.

Are the Cammus LC100 Pedals Good For Beginners?
The Cammus LC100 Pedals are indeed a suitable choice for beginners in sim racing, offering a blend of durability, performance, and affordability. Their robust metal construction and the comprehensive set of throttle, brake, and clutch pedals provide a realistic racing experience. While they have some drawbacks, such as comfort issues with the pedal faces and specific design choices, these are minor compared to the overall value and adjustability they offer. Beginners will find the LC100 pedals a solid foundation to explore and refine their racing skills, making them a great starting point in the world of sim racing.
