  • Page 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL XP-1 PEDALS VERSION 1.8 Last updated: 15-05-2025...

  • Page 2: Before You Start

    Thank you for your purchase. In this manual we will provide you with the means to get started using your new pedals! Introducing the Sim-Lab XP-1 200KG Loadcell Pedal Set! Simulate any pedal of any car with the most complete sim-racing pedal set available. Carefully crafted to satisfy the needs of serious sim racing enthusiasts, this top-notch and fully customizable pedal set is designed to take your on-track performance to new heights.

  • Page 3: Installation

    Installation Depending on your setup, the pedals can be mounted directly to both profile (P1-X) or pedal decks (like the GT1-EVO). Also the latest universal baseplate is also compatible with these new pedals so no matter which setup you own, there are ways to mount this pedal set.
  • Page 4 Pedal deck and baseplate Due to the 6mm slots, you can use almost every slot found on these products and it all comes down to personal preference. For baseplates, there still more than enough of possibilities. The obvious difference here is the lack of slot-nuts, and the inclusion of some additional washers to help protect your baseplate.
  • Page 5 Configuration Pedal Base We tried to re-use as many parts throughout the pedals as possible. This means the configuration and adjustments are virtually the same for all three pedals. The angle of the pedal arm in relation to your cockpit can be changed by adjusting the pedal base.
  • Page 6 Pedal Face One of the more simple adjustments is the ability to change the position and angle of the pedal face. Loosen the two bolts (F) holding the pedal face and you can adjust the position of the pedal face to your preference. As mentioned, it is also possible to change the angle of the pedal face.
  • Page 7 Prepare for changing parts To get acces to the parts we can change, first we must temporarily remove the spring bolt (S), which keeps the clevis fork attached to the pedal arm. In this example we are using the throttle pedal. Release any tension from the spring by loosening any adjustment knob(s) before trying to remove the spring bolt.
  • Page 8 Throttle configuration This pedal is easy to setup, be it stock or after you have changed the springs. There are two main options basically. The throttle spring can be adjusted to be more stiff or soft. Unlock the blue knobs and tighten (clockwise) the adjustment knob (A) for a stiffer throttle feel.
  • Page 9 Adjusting spring force isn’t only possible by using the adjustment knobs. Using the lower of the three adjustment holes on the pedal arm gives you a slightly softer (S) pedal pressure for example. The higher of the three a slightly firmer (F). Note: by the nature of the position of the clevis fork so low on the pedal arm, travel might be mechanically limited.
  • Page 10 Brake configuration After you have followed the steps on page 7, you can now remove the clevis fork and shaft. This makes it very easy to change around parts to suit your preference. Keep in mind, all parts connected to the shaft are loose fitting.
  • Page 11 These preload springs have buffers to prevent them from fully compressing. The hard buffer out of the set (A9) can also be used to replace a preload spring altogether. Here are the correct combinations between springs and spring buffers. By default, the medium pair (spring+buffer) should be installed.
  • Page 12 Clutch (sold separately) configuration We hardly mentioned the clutch in this manual so far. Let’s change that. The clutch shares all base parts with the brake and mostly the throttle pedal. It does have an additional (heavy) spring and travel is adjustable to a point. This is the only pedal which we limit to only using the top two adjustment points on the pedal arm.

  • Page 13: Control Box

    Control box Installation The mounting tabs are suited to a 80x40 pattern so they can be mounted almost everywhere near your pedals. Here we chose to mount the control box underneath a profile based pedal deck found on our P1-X and X1-Pro cockpits. Using the hardware provided the control box won’t go anywhere.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Maintenance Although the pedal set has bronze bushings and teflon parts, some cleaning and lubrication will benefit performance and condition of your pedal set. As for lubrication ( ), we generally recommend WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease to lubricate moving parts (rotating and sliding). Also, do not forget the spring bolt which also sits in a bushing on the pedal arm.
  • Page 15 First we need to activate the product, this is done on the ‘Settings’ (1) page. Tick the ‘ A ctivate’ tickbox next to ‘XP-1 Pedals’ (2) and its icon (3) should appear on the left side of the screen. Selecting the icon (3) will take us to its device pages.

  • Page 16: Device Pages

    Device pages CONTROLLER (A) The device page for the pedals allow you to calibrate (1), adjust the graph and adjust deadzones (2). We will focus on the middle colum in this example, as their functionality is identical: Calibration - Press ‘Calibrate’ (1) for the device to enter calibration mode. - Press the pedal to the maximum travel or force, release, press ‘Finish calibration’...
  • Page 17 Graph This is where most of the device page for this product type revolves around. The curve in the graph can be adjusted to your liking by manipulating 7 points. The first and last point are controlled by adjusting the deadzones (2). The middle five can be manipulated by clicking and dragging to really dial in your input.
  • Page 18 RaceDirector keeps tabs on current firmware versions. When it detects a difference, a notification will let you know more recent firmware has been detected.
