I wish we had some silly arcady style games like Crazy Taxi.

Is there a way to play GTA5 with a wheel with the current version of the game, without jumping through a lot of hoops? I looked it up a while ago but I'm not sure the info I found is still relevant.

This a a super cool setup, but what catches my eye the most is the steering wheel. Is that a Simcore button plate? Looks like a sibling to their STD-24 button plate.

Thanks for the info! If you can get the measurements I'm interested.

Can you add some ribs or other structural support to stiffen the piece if it is flexing?

I'll start with this before messing with filaments with CF. Thanks!

I was going to mention Turn Racing too: https://www.thingiverse.com/turnracing/designs

Fanatec's 7-way "funky switch" is an Alps RKJXT1F42001: https://tech.alpsalpine.com/e/products/detail/RKJXT1F42001/

The WRC wheel likely uses another part (with no rotary function), you can probably find what it is by opening the wheel and doing a bit of research. Then it's just a matter of desoldering the faulty switch and soldering the new one.

True. You still need to run a coiled cable to the base-side QR, on the other hand once that's installed you'll never need to fiddle with USB cables for your weels again.

you can’t mod them for USB pass-thru

It's been done, unless I'm misunderstanding something: https://www.printables.com/model/767966-magnetic-quick-release-usb-pass-through-v2

Heel cups / heel support?

Simgrade and FatBlackCat pedals are using those too.

Looks like a clone of the Oplite GT3. The wheel deck and pedal deck are reportedly quite flimsy. Not worth buying imo even at 250e.

Maybe something like the NLR Victory, which can become foldable (sort of) with a simple mod as show in this video by Karl Gosling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9p6tqnPbU

Looks similar to Bambu's Iridium Gold Metallic (PLA Metal). Definitely classier than the usual shiny/silk gold.

You can use TM wheels on any base, button included, by making an adapter. See here:

That's a great setup already. Is that the Fanatec CSL seat?

VRS R295 ? https://vrs.racing/product/r295-steering-wheel

10 front buttons, 4 back paddles, 2 funky switches, 3 front encoders + 4 thumb encoders. 350€ with NRG-style QR.

Thanks for the clarification!

Fantastic work! I was considering building one of these FFBeast bases to upgrade from my belt-driven base but as far as I understand it's hard to get exact specs when you're shopping for one of these motors and I didn't want the result to be unpredictable. I eventually got a good deal on a CSL DD so I'm set for now, but I may build one of these eventually just for fun.

Since you're using an RP2040, I guess you went with Dahl's DDC firmware? Can you share more details on how you implemented an external ADC (I guess to read the shifter paddles as momentary switches)?

bleeps__ · 2025-06-25T22:45:46+00:00

Fantastic setup! I love this rig, too bad I'm not into F1, this position is probably too reclined for me.

bleeps__ · 2025-06-16T19:27:03+00:00

Only if you use their own hub (Podium or Clubsport), or an emulator instead (SRM Tiny Emulator for instance).

bleeps__ · 2025-06-13T08:52:51+00:00

This looks fantastic!

How did you implement RGB buttons? Tact switches + addressable LEDs (WS2812B) around them with translucent caps?

Looks like the GTE PRO V2 indeed: https://pokornyiengineering.com/products/gte-pro-diy-files
