In case this helps anyone watching you do NOT have to dissamble the whole pedal base to get to the brake pedal innards. There are two screws either side of the pedal, undo these then lower the spring casing with a bit of pressure applied and you can pull out the top cover followed by the spring. Also, well worth getting a variable pitch spring (Google MVH Studios); this does away with the stock spring and lump of rubber replacing both with a better quality replacement that has progressive pressure.
That was exactly what I thought myself judging by the looks of things, but after trying to do just that I failed... Are you absolutely sure that is doable?
@@getsideways7257 I'm 100% certain as I did it when I had the G920. A little fiddly to get the spring back in but the whole operation took less than five minutes to do. Wish I'd made a video. There is one on YT by a Welsh chap, that's where I found out about this method.
@@Wilayaat I wonder if G27 and G920 pedal blocks are similar enough... But most likely I simply didn't try hard enough to do it. On the plus side, I managed to fish quite a lot of garbage out of my pedals after stripping them almost completely. Either way, thanks for the reply and for the video.
The magnetic shifter paddles are truly a gamechanger, I love them since the day I got them. They were 3d printed by someone locally here, so I paid about 10 euros and they're even slightly cheaper now. As for the brake mod, I could never justify paying more than 5 euros for a tiny piece of rubber, so I'm playing around with springs and various squishy materials myself - drilling a few holes in the stock logitech rubber cube in g29 pedals is pretty much enough to get it to feel that tiny bit more progressive and lighter. Although, the best mod for the pedals that truly unlocks their potential is an adapter, either the leo bodnar one or one you can make on your own with arduino - it increases their resolution, removes the weird gamma for brake pedal that's programmed into the wheelbase and extends the range of the potentiometers a bit - generally it leaves a lot for you to play with to make them feel however you want.
@@Salutifer0us I used an eraser cut down and coated with oil seal grease, took a few goes to get length right and tune it but now it feels amazing. Picked up soooo much consistency in lap times and even shaved a few seconds on most track.... G920 box
The videos are of a quality since the move, it’s unbelievable, I want it to continue as its, or rather the community would like this kind of quality content
The sensitivity issues you're describing at around 12:00 is caused by the Logitech firmware that the pedals are controlled by. Converting to USB bypasses this firmware allowing for linear calibration. Logitech has attempted to emulate a load cell by putting a radical curve in the braking line based on this rubber brick they insert. It's a big fail and unless you remove the firmware and use Windows calibration this will always be an issue. Regardless of the feel you'll never have repeated accuracy and therefore muscle memory will not work either. As well, I have the progressive spring and the proper progressive insert from 3DRap and it works incredibly well. The load-up is as real as it gets with a swing style pedal and muscle memory is awesome. Lap times are way more consistent and control is incredible in contrast to stock.
what exactly do you mean "converting to usb"?, does the wheel use something other than usb? is this an easy conversion or do i need to buy stuff externally?
Same here. Been rocking strong with me since I got it to use for GT6 years ago used, but I'm looking for an upgrade as it's starting to randomly disconnect and freeze up on my computer despite having a decent rig. The wheel randomly desyncs during gameplay in any racing game I play and sometimes the wheel settings make the wheel ultra stiff to turn for no reason so I'm out searching for the wheel I want to upgrade to now
Magnetic shifters are the thing that improves the feel of any wheel. It removes the mushiness of paddle shifters and makes every gear change crisp. I have them on my McLaren rim and it is glorious.
Beautiful, because actually I can't calibrate wheel&pedal with the standard Logitech software. So, let's suppose we have a game which doesn't have calibration menù, and maybe there are wear&repairations on the wheel. Remember that a problem on cutting&soldering wires is that resistance changes
Ive owned a g920/g29 for about a year now and am selling the bundle. It did great as a begginer wheel but i decided to upgrade now to a belt drive wheel. Its a fantastic wheel for the casual sim racer. Its good bang for your buck.
The one mod I want is just a wheel hub adapter so that I can properly install my Personal Nardi 350mm racing wheel onto my G920 without covering up all the buttons....
I used a solution to get the buttons to the front of my g29 wheel using omp 14 in rim. You'd have to have some electronics knowledge. Let me know of you need help.
@@achilleslogs personally i own cheapest thrustmaster wheel bro, TMX Pro and i can say it works perfectly without any problem even if I treat it very hard (drifting etc.)
No gastéis dinero en eso, es mucho más simple una solución gratis; abrís como bien explica en el vídeo y sacáis el taco negro de goma de dentro del muelle, le hacéis con una broca del 3” tres agujeros de extremo a extremo transversales por las cuatro caras y por último otro agujero longitudinal de extremo a extremo, de esta manera la goma es un 40% más flexible y notaréis un cambio drástico a la hora de pisar el freno muy similar a una pieza que tendrías que comprar de otra forma. Ahora sí notaréis una progresión cuando lleguéis a la mitad del muelle mucho más cercano a la realidad con mucho más control del freno. No sé en qué pensaba Logitech metiendo ese duro taco sin nada de flexibilidad; como os digo es como tendría que haber sido de fábrica. Saludos
Tad bit dark video, but sounded interesting. I have the g923, brake way too stiff, will swap with clutch spring and use medium density foam in the clutch. Need to get bolts to mount pedals to my driving rig need to get info on bolt size.
@@divebomb440 Personal opinion incoming: The G29 is a great and proven wheel, and quite durable. I don't see how you could go wrong with it. Having owned the t300rs, I can confidently say that it would be an upgrade over the g29. That said, I felt it necessary to mod it due to overheating issues and ffb going limp as a result. Since you're asking for a pick between the t150 and g29, in that specific case, I'd go with the g29. Why go t300 if budget allows, or you find a good deal? Smoothness, a little more max. torque, that's it really. The difference is belt-driven vs. gears.
@@divebomb440 You're most welcome! To be specific; at the time, I removed te "hood", the upper part of the t300's body, and put 2 PC-fans to blow on the motor and power supply. No surprise; no more overheating. You often hear reliability issues with these units, but I haven't had any, since my motor and power supply don't get very hot, ever. People send their broken wheels in for repair, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue. Some simple DYI is the key here. Good luck with your shopping!
@@Marco-ki2jr a full fanatec setup costs over $1000 id recommend thrustmaster since it's better quality than logitech and they already make better accessories like a handbrake for it
if you want a really good mod for shifter meant to last this mod is the best @t it use the inner mechanical mechanism to get more force to move the shifter and its can be adjusted for more or less force. If you don't have a 3d Printer its can be substitute with any little object that can block the spring and the feel of this mod its really better than 3drap mod cause again its it only increase the force that is already in the shifter so you get a better mechanical feeling and unlike 3drap mod its not prone to break.
i might not be legally able to share this but i just made my own paddle shifter magnet things in fusion 360, i would put it on thingiverse for free but its not my designt and i dont want legal trouble...
@@randomcallsign well i think you are a Brazilian living in UK. But it's just a wild guess based on a single t-shirt. Of course you can also be just a UK guy that loves that band which is perfectly fine. :P
Has anyone here bought any 3DRAP products? I was thinking of buying the magnetic paddle shifters mod for my G29 and wanted some feedback on their service and if they can be trusted etc.
if you can't buy a wheel i suggest at least get a xbox 1 controller, they are better then the 360. i bought a couple new official x360 wired controllers & both started having cable disconnects after a few months of use. Also the trigger shifters ruble, it's a nice touch in games that use it.
