Turn 488 GTE Sim Wheel Full Build Log 

Can't believe just how beautiful the craftsmasnship on these wheels are.

And here I thought I'm crafty 3d printing my own button boxes :D Well done, sir. Every now and then I come back to this video to boost my inspiration. 👌

The craftsmanship, the aesthetic, the music, the editing. The perfect video.

An absolutely astonishing piece of craftmansship and engineering right there, well done! Hope I will have the budget required to order one some times..

Hi, this has blown me away the craftsmanship in this. What is the black device you put the silicon mould into? It looks like a vacuum pot but you then attach what looks like a compressor not a vaccum pump, what does that do in the process?

I now know where I’m buying my next wheel from.

This is the meaning made by hand. I love that job, well done

Any one knows the type of music in the background? Or the music he used?

this is some art right there. so satisfying to watch. keep up the awesome work!

All it took was about 8 minutes of this video and you've earned yourself another customer. I'm not in the market right now, but when I am, you'll be first on my list (I was thinking of DIY's myself a wheel when I upgrade to a Moza R9 but I won't even bother with this on the market). Seeing how much work you put into this product from start to finish tells me you are passionate about what you are making. It may not be the most efficient way to build them, nor the most cost-effective, but this kind of handiwork can barely be found anywhere anymore. You are a true artist and I look forward to one day opening one of your boxes when I'm ready to get it.

Wow it's amazing how much effort you put into your wheels! I love it! Maybe you should look at pcba (assembly) service, it will save you a lot of time soldering and if you purchase at a high quantity the costs are quite reasonable (smd is lower priced though). Keep it up, one day I will buy a wheel from you! :D

Great video. I really like a good behind the scenes video. It's amazing how efficient you got. And what a craftsmanship. 👍🏽

are kits still being sold on the website or not? becasue i cant find it

How the back cover is made? Great work

I would love to work in this company

Hi, I am impressed by the quality and everything! I have just found you videos, I am not a sim racing guy. May I ask what is the name of the buttons in 11:11 ? That top down switches?

Wowwww I was looking long time to see a video like this one. Good inspiration here and good kwoleadge. I would like to know what component you use to do the grip handle. Im very interesting on this ... Congrats. Good job dude

This is truely amazing work ! May I ask what the name of music is starting around 3:30 ? Shazam won't recognize it :/

Awesome video dude thanks for sharing! Definitely a lot of work

what music is this

good to see a mask during the cnc

Dope! This'll get a couple dozen views from me alone!

i would just make the pieces in color black (or gray)... that would make it look sick!

Very nice video, really showing all the nice details that are going into making those truly amazing wheels. Can't wait to get my hand on the Vantage GTE ;)

Hi all Im doing my own wheel and i have a big doubth how hard/soft must be the rubber or silicone for the hand grips y tested R30 hard and its very soft, comfprtable but soft, and probabilly it will broke no so far... PLEASE, ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS?? MAYBE R45 ITS ENOUGTH??

No wonder they are expensive....so much work goes into these.

Holy WOW. It is very clear how/why this is $1,000+. Impressive. Problem is, after seeing this detail and attention I only want one more... Love what you are doing Zach. Keep it up and thanks for moving the Racing Sim community forward and faster.

can you make a video where you explain how to make the negative mold of the steering wheel?

Amazing! What did I just watch? :D

Wow....awewome. Just wish I had one...

That made in usa sticker tho. Love it.

Great video mate and I've just 3D printed a 1x1 metre CNC to cut wheel faceplates with. Just a word though, please don't let your dog run around in a workshop where you are cutting Carbon Fibre as although you've got PPE on the dog hasn't and it has lungs, like you. An extract from a study on carbon fibre for you "Carbon nanotubes have a remarkably similar shape and size to asbestos fibres and are causing some researchers and doctors to raise the alarm. There is a very good chance that conditions similar to asbestosis can be caused by inhaling carbon nanotubes, and if you’re working with them you should take adequate precautions immediately."

E eu fazendo meu volante com placa de xbox 360, de madeira e lixo, e até achava bonito, depois deste vídeo, fiquei com vontade de por fogo nele...

just bought your BP1 button plate, had no idea your operation was this small! Happy to support a small American business and also happy to know the care that's going into my product

Fantastic! But how you can say DYI man??? Your target public is Ferrari engineers?

How did I know a cool guy like you would have a cool dog?

Does anyone know what brand of rocker switch is the one used in this build? Looks like an OTTO T1 but it can't be. They're like 80$ a piece. Like half the price of the whole steering wheel.

Just downloaded ur podcast with Niels! Awesome!!!

what material would you recommend for handles if you were making just one rim at home? Silicone is really tempting but its a lot of work.

That is sooo sooo unbeliveably cool!! I am kinda thinking about making wheels of my own but this video while extraordinary informative and awesome is kinda frightening :D you do a great great job mate!!

jesus christ..... talk about craftmanship!

Wish I could just buy the completed wheel instead of try to struggle to DIY.

That's just insane, how many do you build in a month? The assembly seems highly ineffective, is it even worth it ?

Can anyone identify what material he uses in the molds for the grips?

I cant see this on your website

Is this your job? Or just a cool past time

your attention to detail is INSANE!! The packaging alone is on another level.

What happened to your product lineup? Nothing but diy files were left in the webstore

Is this pressure or a vacuum camber? Pls give me an answer. THX

This is pure porn - I want this wheel so bad I can't stand it.

That couldn't be cheap. Very nice work, beautifull peace.

Is there any chance to get the front plate with handles only? Would love to build this wheel.

Hi guys, where can I source the magnets?

это настоящие рули для настоящих болидов, я правильно понял?

Where do u buy those black two way switches ? They look the exact same as the real ones

Hi what is that solution you spray on the carbon fiber to clean it?

Hi, What wheel switches have you used? Tell me please

it also works on the ps4 on the logitech g29

Might be one of the coolest vids I’ve seen.

You are wearing a respirator.. That's good.. But what about the doggy?!

What rubber do you use for the handles?

Very nice, alot of work to do, congrats!

Thanks for sharing this. Just fantastic.

I'm speechless! Fantastic work! +1 follower! 😀

truly a piece of art, im too broke to afford it but its definitely worth the price

The only wheel I’d sell my kidney for

shut up and take my money!!!!!!!!!

Excellent work mate :-)

Man your work is really amazing 😍 so much hours to developp one product. How you make the rear enclosure ? SLA printing ? Thanks ✌

CrazyMan. From the R&D to Production and Design Packaging from DIY....... Very crazy and good job.

PERFECTIONALISM ITSELF

Now, i wonder. What could he have done wrong so that eleven people to dislike the vid?!?!?!

Which part exactly makes this compatible to pc, ps4, xbox.............? Or compatible to this and this wheel base?

I hate how easy you make it seem! LOL

awsome work.... congratulations! thanks for share!

piece of art, excellent job

This is fucking beautiful, man. I got a tear in my eye socket.

This is probably my best yt video so far. Also this will help me with my building project I'm in, so yeah, big thanks to you to show us your work, I can't dream better job ^^ If I may I have some technical questions: 1-(Big Noob question) Why did you put resistance on your circuit board ? 2- What kind of cable do you use to connect the buttons ? 3- Is the glue gun a must need to make the soldering safe ?

That's Efficiency, I like it, regards

Hey, thank you for this!!! I'm building your DIY 911 GT3 wheel right now and I would like to cast my grips. I noticed that you use a shore 70A PU rubber for your grips. I unfortunately only have access to 60A and 90A. Would it be ok to use one of those and if so, which one? thanks allot!

Hi, I'd like to ask 2 questions. 1. What potenciometers do you use, especially the knobs 2. Do you provide/ sell the handles CAD, so people can make the negative on their own ? I know probably stupid question, but had to try :D

Wonderful video, I wish you guys all the best, but the prices in the sim racing market in general are just becoming hilarious.

I am in the process of building my own rim as a fun DIY project (got into ACC want to build the rim of my car of choice for now, the Audi) and I must say, yours is of a completely different quality! I am using Aluminium for starters and a standerd joystick controller you can buy in any hardware store. Advantage, it is going to cost me probably 5x less when it is done. Disadvantage, it won't have near enough the same quality. If I ever get the money I will definitely get one of your wheels for my Fanatec CSW! Beautifull craftsmanship! Do you also build your own PCB or do you outsource it? It is a much neater solution than a joystick board.

Hi, I really like your job, maybe you can share which material you use for molding grips, thanks on front.

Which parts make this compatible to a specific wheel base and system (pc, xbox.....)?

What a masterpiece!! I really want to buy one, but I only have logitech g920, which is very hard to change the wheel part. Also, I know that the product's price is valuable and worth these efforts but it's still high price to me😭 I'm truly sure I would buy in somehow way if you make the Porsche 919 Hybrid wheel :D

Pretty cool! I have a machining background so the milling stuff I got. But after watching this I had to go watch some videos on how to make a Silicone mold and how to make custom PCBs. I'm building a wheel right now that I found plans for somewhere else. The main body will be metal since I have a CNC plasma cutter that part was super easy. handles will be 3d printed then wrapped in suede. Since it's a one-off wheel and it's not even my design ill just wire it with wire but if I ever decide to make my own design ill look into casting the grips and getting a custom PCB made up.

Do you actually sell your wheels, or do you just do that packaging just for fun?

sending my love from Greece!! amazing video amazing craftsman skills amazing engineering, I wish you all the best sir, and thanks for the inspiration!

Great video man, this is fabulous craftsmanship. Out of curiousity, what's the song at 14:25 called?

Hi Zach, Just wondered what tool/bit you use for countersinking the carbon plate? I've tried chamfer bits in my router but they seem to dull quite quickly and leave a less than desirable finish to the carbon fibre. Thanks and keep up the great work! Tim

wtf ! In the last video I said "I buy this 488 GTE soon", but no money at this period, but after see that... It's gonnna be epic when I can afford it soon ♥ ! nice work

I’m getting into sim racing how much for one of your wheels??

Nice video, any chance you could tell me what brand is that holding press you use for soldering?

Amazing craftsmanship. Stunning, absolutely amazing

Crap, now even more so! Why do I watch these videos? Just makes me feel sorry for myself that I'm not rich or talented! I'll never have nice things like this,lol Awesome job you did here!

What an AMAZING video!!!! Thanks for share!!

i don't understand the need of the shrink foil. and for the price I would expect it coming in a nice aluminium suitcase :-P
