For the price of them parts you can just upgrade to a t300rs gt. I had the g29 and it was a great entry level wheel. But not worth modding. Ok the t300 is a little step up. But worth the money over the mods with interchangeable wheels on the t-series servos

Bought them all, as well as the force feel magnetic shifter mod. Very enjoyable and not very expensive to boost the experience to the next level. Worth the effort of swapping the wheel hands down(I play f1 games primarily so I leave the wheel on constantly)

What’s the shifter mod? Is that for the paddles I guess?

I've 3d printed my mods for my old G29, but now that I have upgraded to Fanatec, I'm so much happier to feel a stable steering wheel made from steel and not from plastic. The only thing left to upgrade is the rig.

You can mod your shifter into a sequential / ebrake and there's an awesome inversion kit that mimicks load cell. Swapping wheel for a gt style rim is nice too (there's also adapters for real wheels for rally/ drifting)

I used longer screws and Rubber Bands :D

Nice. I purchased a 45$ hydro brake for a car on eBay then attached a switch on the side nearest me behind where the slider bolt slides, filled it with water, wrapped the slider bolt in tape, attached one of my soldered wires to the switch and ziptied the other to the slider bolt and when I pull the embrace it makes contact and completes the circuit and activates the button it’s soldered to in the wheel. I used the r3 button on my wheel since it had the easiest solder points. I then added 2 inch thick and wide by various lengths for each pedal of memory foam and fed it inside the springs. Most in brake. Making the experience requiring much more effort. It’s nice being able to kick your brakes as hard as you can when circuit racing. Stress reliever.

i went from logitech to fanatec to vrs. now i have a vrs pro and love it.

I added all the items to my cart, laughed then bought a direct drive wheel.

with the current prices of direct drive from brands like moza, i have a really hard time recommending anything else. i used to recommend the Logitech stuff for people who where on a super tight budget (anything cheaper then the Logitech stuff really aint worth it and is basically just ewaste from the moment you buy it), a thrustmaster setup if they had the budget for it, and if money wasn't a issue at all then spend the big bucks on a direct drive setup. but for $500 you can have a direct drive setup these days, so spending $300-$400 on a Logitech or Thrustmaster setup just aint worth it these days.

@@originalkhawk never reccomend the t300 wheel base as I have had to repare them loads and they are built super cheap on the inside and have huge desighn flaw because of to much use of plastic parts that get destroyed beyound repare if the greese on the steering shat dries out, if that happens the metal shat will start to eat up the plastic gears meaning the wheel will start failing to calibrate and basically be ewaste

I'm also looking for a mod for my g29. I think I will mod it with either thrustmaster or fanatec.

I'm really liking your review style, recently ordered the hifiman edition xs from amazon for $379 new. Coming from the HD600 with modi/magni schiit stack. Looking forward to a new experience 👍

Unless you genuinely love the way the g29/g920 feels and you’re planning on sticking with it, I wouldn’t mod it. The biggest thing with swapping the wheel is weight change and diameter differences. The g920 rim diameter is 10.24” and weighs about 1.08lbs. The buttons/controller weigh around 0.55 ounces. Most drift wheels are about 13” and change the way the ffb feels and the weight can cause your wheel to heat up easier. Just keep that in mind but f1 wheels and similar wheels won’t affect it much at all. If you are trying to get into drifting or have a serious ffb feel, I wouldn’t go with this wheel. It only has 2.2nm of torque which isn’t really enough for drifting, it’s possible just aggravating at times due to too much ffb clipping and how unrealistic it feels if you slide irl (y’all know how hard a real car can whip a wheel lock to lock). Just save up and I promise it’ll be much more worth it coming from experience. It’s a good beginner wheel if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but don’t expect the same performance as a Direct Drive. FYI these line of wheels are extremely loud

I was gonna buy this or a Thrustmaster set up. Ended up buy a 370z and a fanatec set up a few months later

the TrueBrake mod made me a believer, though it's a bit more involved than replacing the spring in the brake pedal. I'll probably keep rocking these pedals if I replace the wheel itself with something DD thanks to it.

For the price of upgrading your Logitech toys you can buy a Fanatec or Moza DD but the most important upgrade is pedals I got the VRS DFP 3 pedal set and it was a game changer compared to V3s

I have a similar setup. It’s called a Toyota Avalon XLS 2004. 360° of view, and textures are extremely realistic.

Greatest mods the driver mod, and i enjoy seeing people using their G27s still and obliterating club races

Great vid

for me the best mod was the brake mod by 3Drap. felt amazing

Honestly i don't see the point in modifying the rim with expensive options as the original one is pretty much okay for practically all uses, the telemetry is a cool thing to have ngl, the brake pedal is just wrong, all the bumpers, stoppers, springs they sell you don't improve your braking that much as the data in the pedal set is still provided by this crap position based potentiometer logitech are using, i would recommend checking truebrake from axcsim if you want real braking improvement, and you could have added some cool mods like magnetic paddles, it is always nice to have that clicky feeling while switching gears, you also have a stiffer rubber spring available on custom sim shop for your H pattern shifter way better than the 3d rap option that constantly breaks and feels clunky.

Thanks for sharing!

Sim racers when giving advice to new players: "Don't buy a Logitech, buy a Thrustmaster, but actually that's only a bit better so go buy a belt driven wheel, actually those ones are too loud so buy direct drive, actually just get Fanatec CSL, also you want load cell, you know what just sell an arm and a lung."

Nice

best upgrade for a logitech wheel, is a moza wheel setup

You could buy a second hand belt driven set-up for half of the money this would cost you and it would literally be twice as good.

Any option for actual race car brake pedal? Race car brake pedals remove all travel (usually not power boosted) and replace with a load cell to detect /force/ not distance. Race car drivers modulate pedal /effort/ not position. Check it out!

For the brake pedal, theres a rubber piece in the spring. Take it out, its way better

Replaced my brake with a load cell. Easily the best G29 mod. Next step is DD wheel.

I honestly don’t understand people’s issue with the g920 brake pedal. People say it’s too soft? I think it resembles real car brakes pretty damn well. Kinda soft loose at first. Then you get the hard puck of rubber which actually feels decent imo..

I’m new to sim racing and want to jump right in but the after market on used sim wheels and pedals is ridiculous like dude you’ve done mashed on the gas and brakes down to damn near dust and yet you want me to pay almost full price for a wheel and pedal set you done damn near killed already like let’s be honest here I won’t be the one to almost fully fund your upgrade so ima save my Pennie’s and buy new I can’t wait to get my first rig 😎🤙🏾

This stuff is so cool, and I could easily afford a pretty nice setup. But I just know I'd drop like 5 grand, get it all set up, play it for an hour the first day, then it would rot in the corner over the next decade.

Don't just change the spring, get a Truebreak V2. Or better yet, as others have mentioned just upgrade to a better wheelbase. The G29 isn't worth modding, it's a great beginners wheel but trying to mod it is a false economy.

The thing with these mods is they cost so much but fix none of the problems that just buying a new wheel that wasn't designed 10+ years ago with a new face slapped on it does Plus the pedal failure rate is horrendous, but by time you've modded them it would have been cheaper to buy literally professional grade pedals seperately And the shifter just...can't be fixed, it doesn't hold absolutely anything against shifters like the TH8A which last so incredibly much longer and don't wear out for a long time

Don't modify the Base. Just sell. And buy brake load cell!

Are there any telemetry displays for the G Pro DD wheel out yet?

Best mod is not wasting you money and buying a used csl dd or a new one

Does the telemetry display work on ps4

this is why i wish i got a thrustmaster instead of a logitech because all these mods take so damn long to do plus those add on wheels don’t come in at a friendly price

Where did you get the Telemetry display from

just grind out the money at work and save up for something nice like a fanatec or moza. Might take weeks, might take months, but Its well worth the money. Get some experience with the shit so you can appreciate the gold when you can get it.

I actually just opened my g29 to fix a high pitch squeaking noise, I opened it, lubricated the motors, closed it, realised I forgot to put that thin piece of plastic that separates two pieces back in, opened it, put it in. and when I tried to put the three long tight screws back into the wheels shaft, one of them stripped, for some reason they were way harder than normal to put in, my hand actually still hurts the next day, I got two of them in at least, only problem being that I can’t fit the wheel to the base.
