Basherboards makes a new adapter to allow the Clubsport pedals to be used directly with the TX and T500RS wheels.



Introducing the new CPX adapter from BasherBoards!
After many inquiries and some pleading here and there, I've finally decided to produce an adapter to allow the Clubsport pedals to be used directly with the TX and T500RS wheels.

Compatibility:
The adapter will allow you to use CSP V1, CSP V2 and CSR Elite pedals with either the TX or T500RS wheels.

Features:
- ABS vibration support. (adjustable on the adapter)
- Fine tuning of brake sensitivity. (adjustable on the adapter)
- User upgrade-able firmware via USB.
- Minor troubleshooting via USB.
- Possible features to be added later... :)

Basherboards plan to release the adapter in the new few weeks, barring any unforeseen complications. Until then, please feel free to add yourself to there waiting list for the adapter. THIS IS NOT A PRE-ORDER. It does not guarantee you an adapter on launch day. Orders will be filled in the order they are received.

T500RS Brake Mod Kit from Basherboards

Installation instructions: Download
For myself and apparently many others the stock T500RS "Realistic Brake Mod" isn't quite satisfactory... Thus, upon using my pedals for the first time I immediately came up with the idea to use some urethane skate board bushings. So far it works excellent for me and many others. The feel of the pedal after doing this is very similar to a load cell pedal and makes being consistent much easier. I am offering this simply because I think this is a great mod and because finding the proper bushings has proven difficult for some. (As does making the retaining plate)
This is now being offered as a kit which includes 4 bushings. Two 70 durometer bushings and two 60 durometer bushings should allow you to mix and match the bushings to create a pedal stiffness that is to your liking.
Your purchase gets you the following:
- Two 70 durometer RipTide urethane bushings
- Two 60 durometer RipTide urethane bushings
- Retaining plate
Installing the mod is simple and only takes a few moments. It installs using the Thrustmaster "Realistic Brake Mod" plate, the existing rubber and spring are removed and replaced by these bushings. The retaining plate is then secured using the original screws.
This item is shipped USPS First Class both domestically and internationally. Please allow a minimum of 10 to 15 days for international shipments. All orders are shipped within 48 hours as long as stock is available.
