I Tested ENDGAME Logitech Upgrades (Console + PC) 

"Pro" tip- GT7 is practically undriable w/o ABS at least on default if you want to be competitive.

feels weird to see someone throw so much time, money and effort on entry level playstation parts for sim racing. I kinda wanna see you partner with a company to try out some different high end sim rigs then build something up with help of dirt fish to get it as close to reality as possible.

Only thing I have to say is that the great thing about the higher end sim racing games is that their setting are very in depth. That being said with the original G29 setup you just need to set the max braking distance within the game by pressing the pedal as far as you can then adjusting accordingly. Obviously you're not gonna put it all back together but it is a thing. Being a used set as well there's a chance the original owner "upgraded" the brake stop in it or possibly removed it. May be something to look into with the settings even with the new setup.

Really looking forward to seeing the next level up. Subscribed just to keep track of this journey!

Solid upgrades! I have the Trueforoce brakes, paddle shifter ring, and shifter magnets and that alone is already great. I def want the inverted peddle mounts next!

So weird running into the loam ranger durring my rabbit hole dive into sim racing.... Dude has videos for all of my most expensive hobbies.

Thanks for the video. I ordered the truebrake kit based on your review.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing

Loam Ranger and sim racing... subbed!

Thank you for this video, I'm an xbox owner and have just started into the world of sim racing, I've bought the G920 set for a few reasons, first I'm not sure if I'm going to love racing and being on console my options are very limited, if I don't like it resale of my G920 will be pretty straight forward (according to Ebay) also it's relatively in expensive to get started, since buying the set I can say it's great fun, I've bought the truebrake mod and that is a truly game changing mod for the standard pedals, I've watched a few other videos where they swap the springs into the other pedals, Brake spring into throttle, throttle into clutch, discard clutch spring, I'm doing that tonight and will see if it feels better than stock. For me to go DD as a starting point would be far to expensive compared to my £250 investment into the hobby so far.

Thank you for this video. I have the logitech g923 setup. I made my own racing rig for PC. I have modded my logitech H shifter with G/K Mods. But this was exactly what I was looking for! I just bought the shifter V2 kit from the company and the handbrake off amazon. I play on PC so the hand brake won't be an issue. I'm still holding out for the truebrake pedal mod. I gotta space out my purchases cause of the wife! lololol. But I did invert my pedals a long time ago and upgraded the standard springs. I have them mounted at an angle to a piece of a shelf lol. Hey it works! I have also made my own custom button boxes. DIY modding is the way to go! If you wouldn't mind I would love to send you a pic of my racing setup. Yeah you always see the pros using all these fancy rigs costing who knows what. But being a working person with a fulltime job, family, etc, I love doing my custom stuff that works for me and my budget. Don't care how it looks, or that I'm using an office chair instead of a racing chair. I'm proud of it! Do what works for you! Plus I subscribed. Thanks bud.

Very Well done video I heavily enjoyed it!

I had that same handbrake setup for my G29 for ps5. It was the only one that was compatible and I must say it worked like a charm!

have fun with that shifter shearing off and leaving the screw in the logitech shifter arm completely destroying your shifter

I've been run the jewels on Xbox since 2018. At least you got good taste in hip hop

This was a high quality, informative video. Little long 😉

Man took "You can paint a turd gold and cover it in glitter but it’s still a turd" to the test 😂

Cheers from another sim racing mountain biker!!

Informative and very entertaining at the same time. Thanks for sharing . I'm thinking... I also have a G29...( I will get so much trouble from my wife...this would be such a cool project!... what should I do? 🙂) Best regards.

Haha hell ya stoked to find you on here glad to have met you at the Rocky Mountain rally on Sunday!

Hi Ryan!! I've missed you on the MTB side of YT, so happy to find you here! We have 3 hobbies in common now mate. I am going to sub to the other channel as well. Best of luck mate

You got the same wheel stand I had! I just sold mine, that thing was ol’ reliable, for a hunk of metal, it is actually really good. Hope you get as much fun and reliability with it as I did. 😄😁

I enjoyed that. Now I want to upgrade my pedals and get a hand brake 😎

I enjoyed this having the same setup.

As someone who switch to a Moza R12 3 days ago using g27 pedals and shifter atm. The pedal mod is worth it but for shifter, for a little bit higher price getting a SHH SHIFTER THORN seems to be a better option unless you are limited to console.

Great video man really enjoyed it. One thing i feel you want to start doing is get some thicker socks and drive with those and lose the shoes that gives you so much more feeling with using your paddles. Its going to be so much smoother and you are going to be so much more confident. I really like the setup tho.

To all the peeps saying buy this buy that obviously didn't watch the video to the end where it shows him upgrading to a Simagic set up, save ya comments peeps.. good vid man..

Im having goosebump at : 31:15

thats the content i was waiting spot on,low end gear is bad when you see how much better proper gear is im waiting for simagic ,hope it comes soon

I use truebrake mod on my g29 great video

this was a very interesting vid, I have no intention to play on consoles and even if I did I would use my fanatec setup (have PS4 and Xbox compatibilty on mine although I never used it ;o) I just wanted to see what upgrades there are for the crappy old Logitech most impressed by the shifter upgrades, transforming utter crap of a shifter to something that looks actually quite decent I wonder how much all those mods cost you, might be approaching entry level Moza or Fanatec setup ;o]] btw I am not a simracer, but I do enjoy racing games (not regullarly, just from time to time have a session or when a new game come out), more of a simcade racer type, but tried many full on sim games over the last decade and have somewhat decent entry level fanatec setup (CSL Elite PS4 base bundle with P1 steering wheel and CSL Elite v1 pedals) so I actually relate to a video from a fellow "amateur" racing fan more than watching seasoned simracer pros btw YT showed me your video because I subbed to your "The Loam Ranger" bike channel recently, although I am not a huge bike fan I recently watched few of your how-to-ride videos as I want to start riding more again and was super impressed and were probably the best bike how to videos I've ever seen so I subbed clicked on this video thinking "is that the same guy as in those great bike videos I watched recently? if so than it could be quite interesting" ;o] nice choice on the Simagic as the next step, Simagic Alpha Mini would be probably my choice of base from the entry level DD territory as I don't play on consoles, just not entirely sure about their wheel selection, I want round 320-330mm with lot of easily reachable buttons so I can also play simcade games and not just dials that are good for full on simulation games, something like a Moza Standalone ES steering wheel with the round rim upgrade would be what I would like as a casual racer who don't need to adjust stuff on the fly

Imagine my shock stumbling into this video after having watched tons of Loam Ranger videos. I can’t wait to see how you like the Simagic stuff. I recently jumped from old Logitech stuff to Moza, and the difference is incredible. You’ll want (and really should have) an aluminum profile rig for your new stuff. Getting rid of flex will help with your consistency, and be more like driving a real race car.

For the speed and performance on track with logitech wheelbase you need to make it light as possible because ffb motor in that unit is so weak. Every weight you ad in it makes ffb slower and sluggish and it won't make favor in that regard. Other mods looks really good. 👍

A helpful tip for the handbrake, there's an adjuster bolt on the back of it that you can use to basically have the sensor not come on.

I need to know what that AKG mic you're using on your rig setup is! Sounds fantastic, and really perfect for your voice.

Llaghaghhhrumpyquim (swears in Welsh) 😂

From factory default to custom Noice 👍

I’ve heard from an f1 interview that a good brake pedal should be focused stiff with muscle memory rather than a soft and floaty brake pedal. I guess the stiffer one will better your lap time too since there’s less travel

Hey here's some cool Logitech upgrades. Next time... *Whips out $1,000+ SimMagic Alpha package* We go harder. 😂

Idk if its in the budget when you get a computer but give a vr headset a try with the racing game of your choice. You would be surprised how much of a difference depth perception can make when trying to hit an apex. Vr is a great training tool.

Now I just gotta find myself a g29 on marketplace, these upgrades are sick

the production quality is actually amazing. pretty surprised you only have that much subs

Pretty awesome video. I highly also suggest putting what they call a butt kicker under your chair. You’ll feel all the rumbling of the ground and your engine. Highly highly recommend it

a tip for you, go into ur display settings in gt7 and turn on wobble type 2 cockpit view for a better feel of the car

Big expenditure of money and energy... I'm sure the gloves would have been enough ! 😅🤪

That Truebrake from AXC was good for like 2sec/ lap on average for me

If I may give a tip : you should change your position/chair or raise your wheel, your arms and hands are too low which keeps your elbows too close to your chest, making it generally harder to steer precisely.

You only need a rubber band to turn the Logitech H pattern shifter into a sequential shifter & 2 longer screws to hold the rubber band

Hey man just wanted to say that in real life GT3 cars always use TC and ABS and are never driven without it, otherwise I really enjoyed this video as I was this close to buying the Acelith rim but decided against it and went for a entry lvl DD wheel from Fanatec.

Where can I find your bio to look at buying the mods?

I would be interested to see what gaming pc you went for

I haven't played my sim rig or GT7 in a while, but if I can suggest an Amazon buy. It's not much. They sell water shoe things that have rubber bottoms, I found the perfect difference between shoes or socks. And a pair of Troy Lee super thin dirt bike gloves. I'll see if I can put links for them in a reply to my comment.

Moza R5 will be a sweet setup for most people and all comes together 😂

pretty sick but fir the combined price of the g29 and all the upgrades, you can buy an entry dd wheel-

what's the box cutter that you use?

I just got the x4 as well and am setting up my simulator lol I'm going to use it for grand theft auto though

I just don't get why there's always someone complaining about another person using a cheaper (less expensive) racing wheel, upgrading parts of it and suggesting a higher expensive racing wheel as if it would make you faster or a better racing driver. You don't need the higher expensive racing wheel to be good at racing online and winning. I think it is similar to someone suggesting an expensive car that is already fast and not upgrading a cheaper (less expensive) car to be as fast or faster. There's plenty of good top racers online with such racing wheel. Let them enjoy upgrading parts for it. I own the Logitech G29 and changed the stock steering wheel to a carbon fiber GT3 style steering wheel because it is lighter than the stock one, FFB feels much better and looks better too. I also upgraded the brake pedal with the TrueBrake kit and I brake better than before. Not long ago I also bought both GT DD Pro and Logitech G Pro racing wheels (with their Load-cell brakes included too) and wasn't that much impressed coming from the Logitech G29 which I still own for playing arcade style racing games on the older console (PS3). The trueforce feedback technology from the Logitech G Pro racing wheel impressed me more.

At first I'm like eww you're at home and you have shoes on? And realized oh ya mainland. Nice driving for the rally. Knowing me I'll be crashing out mainly from the jumps for some reason i cant do jumps. I'll stick to my drifting.😊

As someone who literally had all those logitech upgrades minus the different steering wheels... the gap between that and actual hobby grade/ pro grade kit will make the improvements here in the video feel like small stepping stones.. truly... I know have 2 rigs my 20k dollar full motion rig with haptics and all the works... and my wife's 5k rig. Personal opinion.. after the next leap of quality.. it really won't be any need to upgrade beyond that for the hobby sim racer... lastly.. the trigger word... immersion.. if you move your screen up closer to pretty much the back of your wheelbase and center it to your eyes... it will really help push the all mighty immersion at no additional cost . Best of luck and looking forward to a future video of you trying out new kit. Good job.

nice video definitely want the inverted pedals what game is that

"samir! What are you doing samir, youre braking the car"

laguna is my favrotie tracl on ride 4 very difficult but once you learn the lines its easy

If you get a decent GPU in your new PC with new rig, definitely at least try VR, the immersion is insane.

Hail to the PNW, Dirt Fish and some beautiful Loam

imagine saying "i turned abs and traction control off" and then forgetting you did all that in the frist corner

Site you linked is only showing me sequential, i want H pattern upgrade but didnt catch that in the video.. any info on what you did to upgrade but keep it H pattern??

bro turned the g29 into MOZA🤯

i use a loadcell brakes on my g27 and change the stock spring into a mould spring. upgrading the brakes is the best upgrade of everything i mod and created in my 10yrs old wheel lol.

I feel like you could've bought the logitech pro wheels + the adapter need to use it with your wheel for the same cost. The pro wheel base is 11/10 tbh

I feel like if you're going to buy a Logitech setup, and then spend a bunch more money to upgrade, you might as well just buy a higher end Thrustmaster or mid-range Fanatec setup lmao

Just incase you didnt know the cones on the track your supposed to meet each cone to get the best grip and fastest turn

I race on Assetto Corsa with a G920, I don't have any issues with the brakes, their stock never upgraded the spring or anything. Love the real hard feel it gives like an actual race car or F1 car, which is what most people don't realize how hard the brakes are on a Race car. I race on both Assetto and F1. People just need to learn how to drive and how much brake pressure to give, if you think it's difficult driving on GT7, try F1 23 with a sim and no traction no abs no assists racing at 100level AI. Trust me you will humble yourself😂😂

Even tho i love building, and doing dyi stuff. For the price of all this. I think id go with Dd2 pro for ps5. This is a great vid tho, super cool. I subbed to the other channel too. Love following good new channels! Great job mate.

Get yourself a T300 GT RS, A lot more room to get faster, The Logitech is a great wheel. But when you use the T300 you can improve a lot faster, Also get Quest VR headset,. Dirt Rally is still one of the best VR Sim's there is, It is actually mind blowing how bad ass Dirt Rally is in VR, I used a Logitech for ages but couldn't get faster, Now after 3 days of the T300 I can see myself improving, So yeah if you can grab a T300, It is a lot more lets just say, And AMS 2 in VR is also crazy IMMERSIVE, lol.....

just go direct drive wheelbase, doesn't matter which brand, it will be night and day

Can't forget the higher amperage power supply mod, let's you get more ffb force.

The true endgame is upgrading the motors

yo so idk bout gran turismo but normaly gt3 cars have abs and tc eaven irl so maby thats why its so hard to drive w out em idk

Just get a DirectDrive

Like putting SRAM Eagle AXS on a $199 bike from Wal-Mart. I guess the point of this video is to show how individually, a couple of these upgrades are worth it, but if a person was to get a G29 with the intention on doing all these upgrades, that person must really hate getting what they pay for.

Best upgrade you could do is a basic cockpit, I have a playseat evolution, it made a massive difference to my lap times

Do FFB motor upgrade

Bro, is that handbrake also works with ps5? I’m asking because i couldn’t find any handbrake works with ps5. They always works with ps4/ps4 pro.

As somone who used logitech G25 for prolonged time i can say one thing - don't do what this guy is doing. There is only one problem with logitech - its the fact its rack and pinion system, Anything that is Belt driven is HUGE upgrade While i had fun time on logitech i cannot recommend it for any one, better get T300

Logitech Vs Simagic. it's like comparing stage 1 to Final Boss.

If you spend all that money upgrading you may as well get a Fantech wheel.

with the money spent on the upgrades, why not just opt for a better wheel and pedal set package?

When you spend that much in upgrades is like a NO unless you have one Logitech G29 around there since years ago spending +$300 in mods +349 in a Logitech G923 Fanatec Ready to Race is a better option even if you found sales you can improve your pedals to load cells for cheaper.

I wanna play Dirt 2.0 now again 😁 So much better than Mickey Mouse Dirt 5. I actually used a Playstation controller on PC to play Forza Motorsport competitively. Worked way better for me than the Xbox one

Would the inversion pedals wogk with the g pro or the clutch mod? If you know it would be helpful

You will want to have ABS at least on light or default instead of off. GT7 is terrible with ABS off

How much for the total build

On things pro players say... "Good gear won't make you fast, but bad gear will make you slow". I have a G25 and I might want to look into similar upgrades, the stock rim is nice and all for single seaters but it is comically toy-like 😅

for 100€ get the Moza HBP Handbrake it's amazing!!

If you want the handbrake to stop flickering just pull the handbrake 😊❤

By that point you could have gone with a moza R5 and would have much better experience..

Play WRC instead, its way more accurate as far as rally goes

you should put a real rally wheel on also i don't recommend getting upgrades for the Logitech setup it is cheaper but it doesn't change the actual Logitech wheel base it would be better upgrading the wheel to Mozza R9 also can get a Fanatec shifter that lets you swich between sequential and H pattern you don't even need to reboot or nothing to switch and it is fully metal also all the Logitech stuff is plastic which is not good

Abs and TC is in real GT3 cars ,use it!

where can we watch more of your journey to rally??
