Sim Racing is a discipline that demands precision, sensitivity, and responsiveness to achieve optimal performance on the track. To meet the needs of the most demanding SimRacing enthusiasts, 3DRap has developed a series of mods specifically designed for Thrustmaster T-LCM and T3PM pedal sets. These mods aim to enhance the technical characteristics of the pedal sets, offering a more professional, precise, and engaging driving experience. They enable drivers to improve their performance during sim racing sessions, thus lowering their lap times on the track. One of 3DRap’s missions is precisely to allow the sim driver to make his sim racing rig professional without having to change hardware.

Thrustmaster T-LCM vs T3PM: Similarities and Differences
Before delving into the mods offered by 3DRap, it’s important to understand the similarities and differences between the Thrustmaster T-LCM and T3PM pedal sets. Both pedal sets feature similar operating mechanics, but there are some crucial distinctions. The T-LCM is equipped with two HALL sensors on the throttle and clutch pedals, while a load cell is present on the brake pedal. In contrast, the T3PM (also included with the T248) features HALL sensors on all three pedals and is entirely made of plastic. Despite these differences, both pedal sets can benefit from the mods offered by 3DRap, and both can be connected to Thrustmaster bases: T150, TMX, T248, T300, T-GT, T-GT II, TX, TS-PC, TS-XW, T818 DD.
Brake Mod: Increased Realism and Performance
One of the most significant mods offered by 3DRap is the Brake Mod. This mod aims to enhance the realism and performance of the brake pedal, allowing the driver to achieve a more accurate and consistent response during braking. The Brake Mod simulates the behavior of a real car’s brake pedal, increasing resistance based on the pressure applied by the driver. This allows for greater precision in brake modulation, preventing wheel lock-ups, and improving pedal sensitivity during long driving sessions.
Throttle Mod and Magnetic Clutch Mod: Added Precision and Realism
In addition to the Brake Mod, 3DRap also offers the Throttle Mod and the Magnetic Clutch Mod, designed to improve the feel of the throttle and clutch pedals, respectively. The Throttle Mod adds greater preload to the throttle spring, offering a stiffer and more progressive response, while the Magnetic Clutch Mod simulates the behavior of an automotive hydraulic clutch, ensuring a more consistent and realistic response during clutch engagement.

Ergonomic Pads: Optimized Comfort and Control
To complete the driving experience, 3DRap also offers two types of Ergonomic Pads: the Formula PADs and the Carbon Fiber PADs. These pads are designed to provide optimized comfort and control during driving sessions, allowing the driver to fully focus on the track and driving. The Formula PAD faithfully reproduces the shape of Formula single-seater pedals, ensuring unparalleled control, while the Carbon Fiber PAD offers a more realistic and engaging driving experience thanks to its carbon fiber design.
3DRap Feeling Upgrade Kit: Maximum Immersion in Sim Racing
Finally, for those seeking an even more immersive driving experience, 3DRap offers the Feeling Upgrade Kit, an advanced system designed to maximize realism and immersion in simulation. Equipped with four 12V rumble motors and an advanced electronic board, this kit offers precise and customizable tactile feedback, allowing drivers to feel every curve, bump, and brake with an unprecedented sensation.
Thanks to its compatibility with various pedal sets and customizable configuration, the Feeling Upgrade Kit offers a tailored driving experience for every driver, ensuring total engagement.
In conclusion, 3DRap mods represent an ideal option for drivers looking to improve the performance and realism of their Thrustmaster pedal sets. With a wide range of options available, drivers can customize their driving experience and enjoy full immersion in the world of Sim Racing.
3DRap mods can be used on a variety of SimRacing titles, providing an enhanced experience across different driving simulators. Some of the most popular titles where these mods can be beneficial include:
- iRacing
- rFactor
- Assetto Corsa
- Assetto Corsa Competizione
- Project CARS 2
- Automobilista 2
- RaceRoom Racing Experience
- Dirt Rally 2.0

These are just a few examples of the numerous SimRacing titles available on the market. The mods offered by 3DRap are designed to improve the driving experience across a wide range of simulators, allowing drivers to achieve optimal performance and a greater sense of realism regardless of the title used.
It’s not over! A further step forward for all Thrustmaster wheelbases: nGASa Pedals
The professional upgrade offered by 3DRap with the nGASa pedalboard represents a significant step forward compared to the T-LCM or T3PM. This new pedal set not only improves performance and technical characteristics, but completely replaces previous models. The nGASa is designed to be directly compatible with Thrustmaster wheelbases via the RJ connector, meaning it can be easily connected and used on various platforms, including PC and consoles such as PlayStation (PS) and Xbox. This cross-platform compatibility allows sim drivers to enjoy a consistent, high-quality driving experience across different devices, expanding the possibilities for fun and competition in different gaming environments.
