The rubber is ribbed for your pleasure.
Hell yeah it is.
Bro my g923 brand didn’t have no rubber and still and hard, you know how to fix it?
@@itznayem8441 the g923 has a progressive spring, not the shitty soft spring the g29 and g920 have.
No reason to change that one
What a great comment lol
Ah yes mods for stuff I want but don't have. *cries in keyboard*
@Daniel Walder Not since COVID
@Daniel Walder lol, $30 you gotta be kidding, even a used logitech DFP is like $70 used.
@Daniel Walder what noooo i just spent £85 on a logitech DFGT
@@dukiest7368 bruh I got my g25 second hand last year for 90€ but in times like these 85 for a dgft isnt even bad
@@matejmihalik848 ye ever since the pandemic everything has raised in price
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 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 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.
Can you share the 3d files for that magnetic pedal shifter?
I want to make it for me locally.
@@junpreet9261 I don't have files, I bought them already made.
@@Salutifer0us oh damn. There is no one selling locally & international shipping is costly here :(
Anyway thanks
@@junpreet9261 If you're familiar with aliexpress and you don't mind waiting some time, you can get them for acceptable price there too.
@@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
Great video RC, really love it how this video turned out!
Essa camiseta do Angra ganhou meu dia. E sim, gostei bastante das dicas do vídeo também. HAUEHAUHEUAHE
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.
You're a pretty smart guy.
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?
Do you know if you can run USB to PS4 for the pedals or does it have to come in through the wheelbase?
Nice review... I was looking at the shifter mod this morning and wondering if it was any good. Cheers
I recommend changing the stock springs in the pedals to a stronger a material. It will change your racing/drifting skills tremendously.
So the stock springs are too weak on logitech?
I try to Drift and would like to know.
@@vinzenzboman607 Yes.
in my personal experience, the gas is too easy to press down, and the brake is too hard to press once you get about halfway down
I’ve had to disassemble the g920 pedals like 3 times now bc of the throttle sticking/flickering so It’s really easy for me now
How did you fix the problem?
@@arthurmorgan972 I removed the potentiometer and cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol
Love the t-shirt, rare to see those 🤘
still rocking a STOCK G27 from 10 years ago
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
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
Attenuation shouldn't be bad enough in such a small system to notice a change in Ohm measurement because of basic wire maintenance.
What HUD mod are you using? With all the information.
I love playing snow runner/ forza racing series with these.
I got an old iPad to use as a sim dash, I got it to work a couple times. Gotta mess wkth it more lol
Highly recommend The Ricmotech LC27-3 Load cell conversion Upgrade kit V3 for Logitech G Series 100% recommended
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.
the graphics are insane, what mods u using?
Hearts the comment but doesn't answer. Bruh
@@Bzorlan yeah xD
Mans aloud to keep his secrets
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....
Plenty of 3D printed adapters on eBay
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.
can you use the g920 3d printed adapter on the g923
Chair with wheels + duct tape = chair won't roll around ;)
Hi ty for the video, what setup do u suggest for a budget of 800?
Fanatec
@@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
Gives the difficult part to his friend.... sounds about right for me😂
What about stiffer throttle? I gotta use my big toe like SpongeBob in driving school to have any throttle control while drifting
Hello From Brazil, Nice T Shirt Bro, and Nice vídeo!
Use an eraser. I have the same spring in my pedals. It works.
Is there software to calibrate the sensitivity of the G27 pedals?
Their stick shifter insert you put under the leather boots to give you a more real feeling shift is trash
Truebrake mod for the brake and magnetic shifter ring for the shifters. Best bang for your buck, Job done, move on.
Angra! nice t-shirt bro!
Obrigado
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
monitor how many inches and what fov you use
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.
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.
Where can I find the blueprints to 3d print the shifter mod?
Was that ACC?
looks great.
I think it's AC with SOL shaders.
ACC is Assetto Corsa Competizione, newest Assetto Corsa game, focused on realistic track driving without mod support.

Just bought a g29 yesterday
Do you like it?
@@peterpan2611 hasn’t arrived 😭
@@Alejandro-tp8hd for sure give us feedback after it arrives.
Wish you good times racing with it
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.
@@xxxthamasterxxx do you already bought a belt driven?
Whats the song around 4 mins?
I remember about 15 years ago playing sim racing that was fun not sure why they make products that needs mods -_-
best upgrade to Logitech series I did, was getting Thrustmaster t500rs :D
I am waiting on my fanatec podium wheel and csw 2.5 wheelbase. Thinking is gonna be like that
exactly :DDD
It’s a upgrade till it breaks down in a few months. Thrustmaster isn’t really known for lasting.
@@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.)
I just got a mint condition G920 for 78 euro, I was looking at T300RS but kinda broke so this came as a godsend to me lol
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.
I have the 3drap magnetic shifter mod extended version for my 320mm Flat OMP wheel. Very durable.
What hud is that in AC?
Angra \m/
Do you have links for the parts you used?
yes
This editing is insane! +1 sub from me
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...
Angra! 👏🇧🇷

last time i was this fast she laughed at me
Oh...
snap
@@randomcallsign hello should I get g29 or a thrustmaster t150
@@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.
@@frankdiehl8749 thank you I just searched the t300 rd and t3pa and well within my budget 👍
@@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!
I see an ANGRA t-shirt, i know exactly where you are from hehehe xD (i think)
where am I from
@@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
I'm Portuguese
@@randomcallsign hahaha Close :P
@@eramires thats was no where near close
What game is this ?
6:45 what is this game? It looks like real life wth
Im guessing project cars 2
@@rotaryhill4826 nice pfp
It's Assetto Corsa. You can tell by the UI on the right
Please help me
The steering wheel is moving by itself??!
forza horizon 4
G923!!
xbox series x.
Maybe force feedback?
It’s called force feed back, also forza games suck with the wheel buy a sim game like dirt rally 2.0 or assetto corsa or forza motorsport
@@mason.n3259 i dont think it sucks its very good if you just wanna chill a have a good time with your friends
@@mason.n3259 forza motorsport isnt really a sim game
i don't have a logitech yet i'm watching this, maybe bcuz i play AC with a x360 controller x))
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.
also, if your thinking of the g905 think of the Thrustmaster T300RS GT or Thrustmaster T500.
What sim is that ?
Assetto Corsa
Sensitivity*
It feels great but it’s flippin noisy.
The reason why companies don’t put magnets in their wheels to shift is because magnets aren’t efficient enough and they crack overtime
Lmao that doesn't make any sense
magnets aren’t efficient??
Lawlll
🤲
And I thought it was because they were the cheapest
Is this still a good method or is there a newer way 🤣🤣🤣
devo ser o unico pt aqui
Não

Any American companies so I can get something shipped without having to worry about how bad Pinocchio Biden screwed up customs?
the brake rubber looks like a d*ldo
Such a long video with little info
Video is so dark i can't see what you're doing.
It's just a wast of money.
terrible
