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.
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. 👌
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
An absolutely astonishing piece of craftmansship and engineering right there, well done! Hope I will have the budget required to order one some times..
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.
wish i could be at work with my dogs.... and now watching this ... this makes me wanna not buy a fanatec dd1... and go to a osw so i can support your efforts... i dont know if i can afford it but i am thinking about it.... this was great to watch my wife thinks im crazy i sat through the whole thing ... cheers and good luck with your future... i dont think people can complain about the price of custom wheels like this anymore
WOW! The time and dedication devoted to each rim/wheel you make is UNREAL! I'm working on having a wheel from you, Leopoldo Ramirez, Precision Sim Steering and SSRG one day here real soon!
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 ;)
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
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
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 ?
Thanks mate! 1. They are diodes, so the signal can only go one way 2. Which buttons? The coiled cable on the back is from Sim Racing Machines 3. The hot glue is for vibrations to secure the connection to never come loose, short or corrode. Thanks for watching!
@@TurnRacing Ok thanks for your answers. The red and black cable you use to connect the encoders I meant. I'm currently using dupont cable and I don't know if it's correct for this purpose, or if it's too thin cable.
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."
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!!
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.
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 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.
New subscriber thanks to Chris Haye! I'm loving the work you're putting into this, as it's inspiring me to try this here in Canada. Currently looking into Arduinos to see if I could use that as an avenue instead of custom PCBs (which, honestly, give it a serious cool factor for those of us that love bespoke techie parts - I'm not bashing on your (amazing) work, just wondering if it could be done there). I have thought about modifying pre-existing hardware, too (pedals, shifter, handbrake etc) as part of a learning experiment before developing some bespoke sim-racing hardware on my own. Keep up the good work man! Don't chase your dreams - make them!
Please do! I enjoyed the shop update video and would enjoy seeing some more of those! It really helps the viewer build a rapport with the host (yourself) and, judging by the way your last one worked out, you could really pull off the vlog style content
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?
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
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
thanks! this is an old way of doing things already, I have new methods that are much more advanced that I'd like to share in the future. But the silicone rubber mold is Smooth On Mold Star 30 and the polyurethane grips is Smooth On PMC746 I believe. around Shore 50A hardness is the sweet spot for grips
This video is a bit outdated already, I'm a lot better at it now, but it's still a great starting point for those not familiar. It's just a basic two part silicone mold. I pretty much used the same exact process as the Tested Light Saber mold, just youtube that they did a great tutorial on it!
@@TurnRacing thanks for the reply I got ur 305 wheel and the grips are the best out of any wheel I've tried as I hate wearing gloves In summer haha. Definitely going to have to give this a try the possibilities are endless! Watched some of your stuff on cad you got some speed on it!!
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!
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
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

your attention to detail is INSANE!! The packaging alone is on another level.
this is some art right there. so satisfying to watch. keep up the awesome work!
This was amazing to see from a person who has a goal of doing the same. Thank you so much for sharing this process. Pure quality and hard work. 👍🏽💯
Great video. I really like a good behind the scenes video. It's amazing how efficient you got. And what a craftsmanship. 👍🏽
Thank you very much Jesper! Hope you're doing well
I now know where I’m buying my next wheel from.

How did I know a cool guy like you would have a cool dog?
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 ;)
Thanks for watching and for the support mate!
This makes me want to go back to scale modeling! I use that same diecutter to cut plastic out for Japanese Gundam models!
Great stuff love ur work
Awesome video dude thanks for sharing! Definitely a lot of work

Thanks very much! Yes would be great to have that. Maybe some day 😁
@@TurnRacing give me a shout if you need a hand creating assembly files for manufacture :)
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
That couldn't be cheap. Very nice work, beautifull peace.
A cut above the rest. simply amazing
Might be one of the coolest vids I’ve seen.
Man I wish I could make one of these. I'm just a kid and I would kill for one. Great work!
Beautiful work, that was super satisfying to see something like that come together.

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

Stunning work! You’ve got all the gear goodies :)
This is fucking beautiful, man. I got a tear in my eye socket.
Thanks Joakim! You the man
piece of art, excellent job
Very nice, alot of work to do, congrats!
Thanks!
You make it look easy well done
Just downloaded ur podcast with Niels! Awesome!!!
are kits still being sold on the website or not?
becasue i cant find it
Que buen video de fabricación de un producto con todos los detalles! EXCELENTE
Great work mate, my new Rim wheel next from you.
Best video on the internet
Amazing! What did I just watch? :D
I'm speechless! Fantastic work! +1 follower! 😀
Thanks Daniele!
What an AMAZING video!!!! Thanks for share!!
awsome work.... congratulations! thanks for share!
Thanks! ❤️

No wonder they are expensive....so much work goes into these.
Awesome work, sweet to watch
That's Efficiency, I like it, regards
Thanks Leopoldo! Your work inspired me to start making 🙏
It's an honor! But I'm just the inspiration, you've done everything yourself. Great job, and keep it that way!
Wow....awewome.
Just wish I had one...
mate amazing work, can't believe the design you make hi from chile
That made in usa sticker tho. Love it.
i would just make the pieces in color black (or gray)... that would make it look sick!
Oooh, thats how seamless rubber handles are made. Dang my imagination went crazy trying to think of how they’re made for some reason
Worth every penny.
congratilations for your amazing job man!!!it's sooo good
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.
How the back cover is made? Great work
PERFECTIONALISM ITSELF

can you make a video where you explain how to make the negative mold of the steering wheel?
Excellent work mate :-)

May I ask what is the name of the buttons in 11:11 ? That top down switches?
Thanks! Those are Apem two way trim switches 👍

Amazing work!
Hi what is that solution you spray on the carbon fiber to clean it?
More attention to detail and love than an actual f1 wheel right there. Just beautiful
Hi, I really like your job, maybe you can share which material you use for molding grips, thanks on front.
That grip making process is awesome!! Rubber grips are by the best imo. What are the molds made from? Also does the pressure force all the air out?
This video is a bit outdated already, I'm a lot better at it now, but it's still a great starting point for those not familiar. It's just a basic two part silicone mold. I pretty much used the same exact process as the Tested Light Saber mold, just youtube that they did a great tutorial on it!

Awesome job you did here!
This is quality, very nice
Any one knows the type of music in the background? Or the music he used?
Nice video, any chance you could tell me what brand is that holding press you use for soldering?
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
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
Hi, What wheel switches have you used? Tell me please
Hi, just wondered what silicone you use for the grips?
That's just insane, how many do you build in a month? The assembly seems highly ineffective, is it even worth it ?
