BuzzU Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) The first VKB pedals I bought I found in a pilot store in the US. I couldn't do that this time and bought it from VKB direct. For those who bought from VKB. How long did it take to ship to you in the US? I'm in Colorado. I've never bought from China before. Thanks.

BuzzU Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well, the question is answered. The pedals are in Colorado Springs already. (100 mi from me) Pretty fast service from being ordered on Tuesday. I wish I could say the same thing for the Warthog coming from BH Photo in New York. That package has been stuck in Indianapolis since Wed night. Pretty sad for 2 day shipping. When Fedex can ship a package from China faster than New York. They're screwing up pretty bad.

Tiger-II Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Mine arrived in 3 days, not including the fact they were on holiday! Highly recommended!!! No, I don't miss the toe brakes.

Virpil look interesting until you realize they want an astronomical sum just to ship them, making the cost nearly $400 rather than the apparent $260 the pedals cost on the sales page.... That seems to depend where you want them to ship to. In my case Virpil is the cheapest, VKB is somewhat higher, and Winwing charges astronomical shipping fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Shipping for VKB was $52 to Colorado. I got them in 7 days with one day being a holiday. 1 Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-II Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well... I'm totally sold on these VKB pedals. What are their sticks like, and are they worth the cost to change from TM Warthog stick?

EightyDuce Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I had their Gunfighter Mk3 for a couple years and now have the ultimate (metal grip) with the extensions for about a year. Absolute beefcake that feels like the real thing. Between the dry clutches, different types of cams and different preload springs, there is a fit for everyone. The configurator, if you use it, takes a bit of getting used to. But once you have it figured out, it's incredibly powerful piece of software.
