Sim Racing and DIY/Maker projects are two of my favorite things right now. I also like sharing my passions with people and making tutorials here on YouTube. So boom here you go! This is the first video in a series that I hope will give people a good starting point to build their own DIY Replica & Custom Steering wheels. From steering wheels you can carry a lot of this knowledge over to making and modding button boxes, pedals, motor vibrators, etc...

A huge shout out to the Turn Racing DIY Wheel builders Discord. It's an amazing place to share your projects, get help with specific problems and just share your passion for DIY Sim Racing gear. Also Zach from Turn Racing is a DIYer who has turned his passion into a business offering amazing physical products, DIY components, and complete high quality DIY CAD files. It's rare a Company and Entrepreneur shares so much with a community! So please check out his channel and website.

By far SendCutSend has been the fastest and most economical source of Front Plates for me. They have instant quotes, quick turn around times, fast shipping and quality cutting services. They've just added Carbon Fiber as an option. But their Aluminum and Stainless steel is a great option for front plates, custom mounts, paddles and even a custom set of pedals if you want to design your own.

Lastly if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments below.

you look like asamoa gyan on the thumbnail of this video

[wisniatd]

Oh, deer ;)
Great vid, staying here for more stuff!

[xxghostxx]

Someone should make a kit. That we can build. and electronics plug and play.

[ThexGreatxLTS]

Love Dave Cams and stoked to follow along, really want to take a shot at building my own.

[RPPerry]

Love the content, great tut! Also, really loving the Dave Cam Rep with the shirt! Subscribed!

[keepsgoingevr]

Just found this video. Bro you should sell wheels like the one you've built. That thing looks incredible with the carbon and black. Nice work man!

[juanesteban]

Easy Composites has some great carbon fiber tutorials on their YT channel including several on forged carbon fiber parts. Anyone with access to a 3d printer could make a forged carbon plate for this wheel

[StePhillips]

Wearing a Dave Cam t-shirt... take my like! 👍 Great vid. Hope to take on a suitable project soon

[MrGovnovalj]

Algorithm finally got it right. Dude, you rock, great videos. Keep up the good work.

[masonsmith]

Please continue this to the end. I’m trying to make a prediction quality wheel so I can sell it I’m confident in most of my design skills but need more advise on the grip aspect of the wheels.

[grayzedynamics]

Looking to make custom polyurethane grips. Any insight? Going to print 3D model of Moza GS wheel. Any advice works be great.

[FINWombat]

So glad I found your channel and this video from TURN instagram. Great quality video and love your approach to all this. Can't wait for more!

[LoudandProudBSE]

Just found your channel. This is my jam. I'm building a real wheel for my truck build and one for my sig rig. Good stuff 👏

[rallymax]

dear. Looking forward to the playlist fill out.

[mako]

Wish we got to see more of this series

[zamalek]

This is the content that I crave. First a home, then a 3D printer ;). Subbed.

(I came across your channel on the wowstick review)

[sebrocco]

Hi, can you tell me how much was the cost for the front plate of the TURN R8 LMS DIY SIM RACING WHEEL ? so i can have a idea please.

[joshcooper]

Excited to see the future videos on these subjects! Would also love to see a video on how you modified your Logitech wheelbase to accommodate custom wheels as well

[readystudio]

hello @
Ballistic Tech, pls i have something more or lees like this wheel you are holding 12 push button 5 rotary encoder . pls how do i code it using arduino mega

[kailyeoh]

Do you have any suggestion or reference material on dual bite point clutch custom wheel design? I try to search online but seems like material is quite scarce for circuit design and coding. Probably I look into wrong areas.
