1. Choose your connection method

There are two primary ways to connect the ClubSport V3 Inverted Pedals:

  • For PC: You can connect the pedals directly to your PC using a USB cable, which comes in the package. This method is exclusive to PC use.
  • For PC or consoles: If you're using a Fanatec wheel base, connect the pedals to the ‘Pedals’ port on the wheel base using the RJ12 cable. This allows you to use the pedals with both PC and consoles.

Ensure that you use only the cables provided to prevent any damage to the electronics.

2. Mounting the pedals

To secure the pedals to your rig:

  • Use the provided template to drill the necessary holes for a proper fit.
  • Attach the pedals with screws, ensuring they are tightly secured. Use the appropriate tools, like an Allen key, to tighten everything correctly.

This setup provides stability for your pedals, ensuring a solid driving experience.

3. Connecting additional devices

The ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted can be used with additional peripherals like a handbrake for a more realistic feel. To connect these devices:

  • Use the designated ports for each device (brake, throttle, clutch) on the bottom of the pedals.
  • For peripherals like the handbrake, make sure to use the correct cables, which may be sold separately.

4. Customizing pedals for comfort

You can swap the included metal pedal plates for D-shaped pedal plates for a different feel. Simply unscrew the existing plates, replace them with the D-shaped ones, and tighten the screws to secure them.

Additionally, the throttle pedal can be customized with extensions to adjust its height or angle, offering a more personalized experience.

5. Adjusting throttle resistance

The pedals come with two spring options for the throttle pedal. If you prefer a stiffer feel, replace the regular spring with the stronger one provided in the accessory kit. Be sure to use the correct spring guides to avoid damage.

6. Brake pedal adjustments

For brake pedal stiffness, use the preload screw to adjust the tension to your preference. The scale on the screw will guide you to set the perfect level of resistance.

7. Stabilizer feet for extra stability

If your pedals aren’t mounted to a stand or cockpit, add the stabilizer feet to prevent any tilting during use. Simply attach the feet using the screws and washers provided, ensuring they are properly aligned for optimal support.

With these straightforward steps, your Fanatec ClubSport V3 Inverted Pedals will be set up and ready for an immersive racing experience. For further customization, consider additional Fanatec accessories, such as the handbrake or damper kits, for even more realism.
