    Pedals continue to tweak. Moving from 30-80 every milisecond. Before I gave them a open, cleaned them and put them back together, every time I press the accelerator (barely), it spikes to 100%. Same with the brake pedal.

    Not looking forward to buy another pedal set because i'm trying to buy something else at the moment.

    Does it happen in other games too, or only BeanNG.drive?

    Oh, it happens everywhere. Started randomly happening in BeamNG a couple of weeks ago and got worse.

    Hmmm this is not going to be ideal, but as a crappy workaround and only for BeamNG.drive, you could try to reduce the noise coming from your hardware/drivers, by trying different "filter" in the throtle/brake bindings (in Controls menu). I would start with the "pad" filter. If thats no enough, try the kbd ones. Response will be slower, but hopefully less noisy.

    Probably potentiometers are worn, but I don't know which kind of potentiometers those pedals uses.

    If you know someone who has electronics as a hobby, he might be able to measure potentiometers and you might be able to get new ones from electronic component store or RC hobby store for cheap.

    Might be current ones are not sealed, so dust gets in and makes the spiking, there are sealed and unsealed versions, better get sealed ones if price is not that much different.

    Some soldering is needed to put new ones in.

    I'm not too sure about how much different value you can go, but calibration should make them work even if value differs a bit.

    I found this kind of video, there might be more, not sure if your cleaning was same as here, but changing pots if that does not help:

    I'll just buy some new replacement pedals for 14 bucks. I'm not really into fixing wires and potentiometers but when I do get the replacement pedals, i'll smash the old set with a sledgehammer.

    Don't buy the same stuff again, what do you expect it to, prove its unreliability? It already did that. Go for something more substantial, T3PA-Pro for instance, plus TH8A stick.
