Cannon Simulation Technologies has a reputation for building durable, high quality pedals in the sim racing community. The Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas showed that many simulator builders also choose CST as the Cannon pedals could be seen in a wide range of simulators as you can see below.

Simulators shown include CXC Simulation’s simulator, the Blue Tiger cockpit as well as the recently unveiled SimCraft APEX motion simulator. Speaking about the APEX simulator, some of you wondered what the three degrees of movement would look like during a crash – The video below gives the answer!

I own the CST 3-B pedals by Todd Cannon and they are everything that has been said about them. They are the best pedals you can get imho. I have an Obutto cockpit and a G25 wheel and I would get rid of both of these before the pedals. I am looking forward to a cockpit and wheel made by Todd Cannon.

$599 USD. These pedals are bottom swung, are they the DIY pedals or can the 3B be mounted upside down?

ermax18..the CST-3B pedals that hang down from the top are Todd’s GT style pedals and they are production made. Todd does sell a DIY manual on his website for making your own pedals. As for a more F1 style pedal it looks that Todd is going to make some and has prototype pics of some.

Dave, I actually got that DIY manual about 6 months ago. I already had a Leo USB controller but it isn’t the one with the AMP for the Loadcell. I am going to rig up my own AMP. I got the loadcell too. I just need to order all the other stuff and find some time to build it. After I saw these pics I pulled the manual back out and took a closer look at it. At first glance it looked like it was going to be a pain to source all the parts but now I am thinking it will not be that bad. I going to start working on it this weekend. :) I am dieing to get a loadcell brake.
