My force feedback motor broke few days ago, i could not find any replacement parts for my logitech G29 and was starting to feel like i would not be able to repare it. Thanks for this video it helped a lot :)
Pretty neat idea, I didn't think replacing the original 555 motor with another one wouldn't make that much of a difference but I guess the original Johnson motors have weaker specs. I did roughly the same thing with my wheel but used a 775 motor instead, speed and power!
775 is the size of the brushed motor. Just get whatever quality 775 you'd like that supports the voltage draw and get the supporting gears for the shaft size of the new motor. I personally would find one with a slimmer shaft size to match the g2x motors. It'll make finding the right gears easier. If the first set you get works size-wise, then you got lucky. While you're at it, grab a higher amperage and more efficient power supply for around $40 to get higher detail. You'll have quicker motors and a quicker, more efficient, power delivery to the wheel. I personally would go to a 5 amp 24 volt psu. I've also thought about overvolting it with a higher voltage psu, but I don't have the wheel to spare, because it'll most likely fry, but it could yield good results with noticeably stronger feedback at the expense of longevity, it all depends more on the motor controller rather than the motor itself when it comes to overvolting, because the chipset was most likely designed for 24 volts to be its threshold. But if someone intermediately techy made a higher voltage plug n play chipset, theoretically you could get insanely higher feedback. Just spit balling at this point
@@protomor Picture it, 40 years from now: “Replicator, make me a direct drive sim wheel capable of 25 nm torque and a high strength plasteel replica of the steering wheel from a 1941 Cadillac. Thank you.” *Two hours later* “International Patent police, open up, the holder of the patent on 1941 Cadillac steering wheel demands $34,000 credits or your summary execution.”
I love this. I'm getting back into racing with my G27 again after a couple of years not really using it. Considering a mod like this, just wondering if this helps in reducing the clunking/chattering when the wheel gets overloaded? Or is this a different mechanical limit of the wheel?
Your PET gears will not last, PET does not wear gracefully as a gear. PLA lasts longer as a gear but does not like heat nor sustained pressure. You can try to anneal PLA on the shaft by baking the entire motor at 50-60°C with the gear pressed on, if it keeps the shape well enough to work, it will stay on better and last. This is something I thought of doing with my new G29, once it's FFB wears more and I feel like risking an upgrade. I worry about the motor mosfets if it's a more powerful motor (more Ampère at the rated Voltage), but there should be some leeway there. My plan was to get larger motors, but also solder on more powerful motor controllers once I would make such an upgrade. Seeing that the encoder is on one motor, perhaps only changing the other motor and making this way more powerful. With a bigger gear to lessen the load on the small teeth, modifying the mounting bracket and casing to make this fit. I actually went with a G29 over a G923 as the latter runs a firmware curve to eek out more performance from the stock motors. Which would make more powerful motors overshoot (even more than the factory ones already seem to do on it). Along with the G29 being a bit cheaper and having a reputation for lasting well, plus better Linux support. Since I switched to the experimental driver that makes the G923 work anyway, since it makes the G29 a bit more powerful and responsive. But it's good to have certainty it'll just work as plug-n-play without extra drivers, as I learned from picking up a few drawing tablets (which I all made work anyway).
There's a video after this where the gear fails. The original brass gear is what I used from then on. I don't know about the power curves but the mosfets held up fine with the new motors. The only problem is that these motors went out of stock and won't come back. I'd assume anything wiht similar physical and volt/amp specs will work too. I just don't have a logitech anymore to try it out.
@@fajaradi1223 they skipped and went straight to DD lol. Honestly, they still sell these hand over fist so why bother? I just need to find slightly better motors.
Ah yeah i can see how PLA gears would fail. I think two possibilities, besides extracting original gear, either print them with HIPS, and you can print that on an open frame printer just fine, or better make a silicone mould and cast them from high temperature capable epoxy. I will be doing a conversion of a DFGT eventually maybe to herringbone gears maybe to belt i haven't decided yet so i've been thinking, obviously i don't really have gears to keep then.
@@protomor I wonder how far the supply of motors will reach for that. M36N-2 is gone. I feel like M36N-5E is running out as well. For sure you could find a manufacturer in China who will fashion you a motor and also a gear to order? Maybe worth a talk with LDO to adapt their CL3553?
Nice work man. I have one question. I can't find the mabushi RS-555PH-18150 anywhere and it's quite expensive. Do you have any alternatives? For example, RS-555VC-3267
Hey man, nice work buddy!, I'm doing something similar to my g923 and I wanted to ask if u changed out any of the mosfets or capacitor? So far I just did the heatsink on all the chips and on the 2 stock motors and I also did the power source mod and cranked it to about 30v, amps draw what ever they need so I'm not really sure how much it's pulling in amps. Works very fast! But I feel like the torque is still lacking, I'd like to swap the motors aswell but I really don't want to be messing with changing out chips lol
This mod is specifically designed to not need to upgrade any of the fets. What you see in the video is all I did. Even still using the 1.75 amp power brick.
Hey bro great job on the motor upgrade!!! I have a question for my g29… I don’t need to get the g27 reluctor thing but u mention that I have to do something to the sensors. Could u elaborate more on that… also are the g920 same deal too? Thanks for making this video…. I’m too broke to afford a fanatec setup.. also any recommendations On the steering wheel adaptor to run real steering wheel?
The G920/G29 are the same insides from what I recall. It's just PS vs XBOX. Here's a link to my last video where I do the G920 encoder wheel th-cam.com/video/BUvvYGKQLJ8/w-d-xo.html (a bit over 9 minutes in).
Wow. My G27 is old (like 7 years with thousands of hours heavy use) so much so that the gears on my motors have a very significant gap between it and the motor. I thought this was normal but not after seeing this ahaha.
I’ve got a gear puller for pulling and pressing pinion gears on motors for air soft guns, I bet it would pull that gear off easily. Wasn’t a cheap tool though
I'd like to see one in action. The issue I had was that the space between the gear and the motor base was too close to get anything in between. Heat was the easiest option in all honestly. Cheap too. Plus, who doesn't like fire!
have you ever thought about some way of increasing the rotation range of Logitech? like 900 to idk 1200+ degrees...well I can't figure out if its even possible sorry
Impossible, the whole structure of the wheel would have to be changed with new parts and would probably involve 3D printing and etcs, but no one has done this before so you'd be on your own to even begin this crazy project
I've used a pinion puller in the past and actually wound up breaking the brass teeth. I mean you can see how quick the gear just pushed off with the torch!
Would i need to 3d print the encoder holder if im doing this on a g29? Also planning on getting the RS-555 motor since i cant find the M36N, would the encoder holder be the same?
Guys. What do you think, and if, on the contrary, you push the gears apart and put a belt on top of the motor pulley and the main shaft? Keeping the gear ratio. + new motor and psu In this case, the encoder
Hi. I have 2x m36n-5e motors. Do you think i can use them on g920 ? They have nice torque, 3500 RPM on 24v. I am incompetent in this field. I don't want to fry my steering wheel.
I'd have to have one in front of me to test. I'm not sure. If you go too strong, you'll shatter the insides of the logitech unit since it's all plastic.
The M63N link still works. the 555 I think is this: www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832499160764.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US But double check.

@@protomor aight thanks no problem, got into this video when I was deciding what to buy between a g29 or a t300. I just thought that it was a very interesting and cool mod/upgrade if I went with the G29.
@@protomor yup i definitely agree. but my budget was simply not enough. well, i am new to sim racing and just testing if I am going to keep this kind of hobby. I'll probably sell it and upgrade if I got enough money but right now i am more than satisfied.
Only if the rattling is because something is loose and you tighten it while you're in there. But no, it won't make the unit any quieter. If anything, it'll be louder.
Saw it on facebook, it's insane what power it puts out, never had the time to make this upgrade, this is what I had in my mind but never saw anybody do it on TH-cam with a full rundown so after this i can do this finally, also what I wanted to ask is that you need to connect the wires to the opposite, like the positive to the negative, and the negative to the positive? Thank you!
Yea... I'm not entirely sure on WHY you need to do it. In some countries, black is positive (like house wiring) and other places red is positive. So I don't think you're actually reversing it. But also, the motors spin based on voltage given either direction so it shouldn't matter. I'm not smart enough to know why. I just know that it works lol.
@@protomor yeah i cant find any :c im worried i'll have to replace my wheel entirely, my motors aren't working so when i plug in my wheel nothing happens and no steering is detected
@@Ivvelis I'd test them out but I don't own anymore logitech units. I'm sure there's replacement motors somewhere. Yuo can likely even find replacement stock units.
They did not, but the G923 runs a different, more aggressive power curve on the same original motors. So more powerful motors might misbehave in a G923, whereas they would not in a G29 or older.
@protomor that's so awesome! I'm keen to do this to my G29, but I'm honestly too scared I'll bugger it up. I have changed over the red rotary dial to a black one, so I've had it open before up to the wheel itself. I've also pulled apart the shifter to put a 3d printed spring pre-tensioner in behind the shifter spring. And also printed out a pedal extension for the throttle. So I've been enjoying moddind the G29 in one way or another to improve its functionality and looks. But this feels next level! I'm keen just by looking at how fast it can now move. I feel like that is the actual main area that the g29 falls short compared to a real car, is how fast it can spin itself. I'm keen on a CSL DD for this very reason. But then saw this. I've only had my G29 for nearly 3 weeks as it is. But I'm already feeling it's disadvantages. Although I feel for actual racing it's just fine, but for drifting, it just seems a bit slow and weak
@@GregoryShtevensh I would definitely recommend a DD wheel. Fanatec isn't my fav as they've failed me in the past. This motor upgrade will help but is not DD level.
@protomor unfortunately everything else seems too expensive in Australia. The Moza R5 is an option, but I'd get less for my money. With 700aud, I can get base, wheel, pedals, and clutch pedal, if I go CSL DD bundle plus clutch pedal But out of curiosity, what budget DD would you recommend? 🤔 Thanks for any help ❤️
Hello Jeffery, you are a smart guy and I like your videos. You are good on fixing Logitechs ;) Maybe you can help me. I have these chattering/ratteling noises coming out of my wheel and I had every little thing in my hands.I disassembled all I could, but couldn't find the issue. No teeth are broken, motors are good, as screws were tight. I have no idea and it drives me crazy. I remember that there were no such noises when the wheel was new. So there is a problem somewhere but I don't know where. I have the G27, but it is the same noises as in the video below. A bit louder and clackier maybe. th-cam.com/video/9yAt3wTq4f8/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your time and advice :)
how far have you disassembled the unit? Something has to be loose or some teeth have to be broken. Make sure the wheel is screwed into the base properly. Also make sure the geared rack on the bottom has the tensioner curved metal leaf spring installed properly.
@@protomor I disassembled everything except the 2 bearings in the housing. All screws are tightened and the leaf spring is also installed properly. I curved it a bit more for more tension. Every gear has its teeth - not 1 has gone. The big plastic one looks good and the 2 brass gears too. I tried to see something without the cover but I see nothing. There are some guys with the same problem over the years, but no one has a solution for this.
@@protomor Switched off or switched on you don't feel anything. No rattling, no noise. The force feedback is also buttery smooth. The clacking comes, for example, when you drive on concrete slabs with huge gaps like on Sebring 1966 in Assetto Corsa or GT Legends or Spa Francorchamps Historic in pCars 2. The first time I noticed it was in a 12h race with ACC on Monza while shifting through the Lesmo corners.
who care about Voltage/Curent parametres?? Right?? U think u can just put another motor? Im many years in HObby. So i tall u that not right! controller board and drivers will burn coz of that!

the 775 motor has a 5mm axe, it fits the gear?
I've read that the stock board won't hold up to the 775 motor as it draws more than the 555.

@@ekisagustin Eh T300 is kind of a waste these days. I would just go direct drive for another hundred or two. It's a whole other world man.
@@protomor yup i definitely agree. but my budget was simply not enough. well, i am new to sim racing and just testing if I am going to keep this kind of hobby. I'll probably sell it and upgrade if I got enough money but right now i am more than satisfied.
@@ekisagustin I hear you. Do what you can. it's worth it! I swear!
does it fix the ratteling?
Only if the rattling is because something is loose and you tighten it while you're in there. But no, it won't make the unit any quieter. If anything, it'll be louder.
Saw it on facebook, it's insane what power it puts out, never had the time to make this upgrade, this is what I had in my mind but never saw anybody do it on TH-cam with a full rundown so after this i can do this finally, also what I wanted to ask is that you need to connect the wires to the opposite, like the positive to the negative, and the negative to the positive? Thank you!
Yea... I'm not entirely sure on WHY you need to do it. In some countries, black is positive (like house wiring) and other places red is positive. So I don't think you're actually reversing it. But also, the motors spin based on voltage given either direction so it shouldn't matter. I'm not smart enough to know why. I just know that it works lol.
@@protomor What voltage does the motors have in your setup, i'm planning to get the rs-555ph one
@@v1nnyvice factory 24v. Nothing extra
can you please somehow make a cut easy to understnad tutorial of this please or just share a text document to me, thanks :3
That thing spun like crazy holy heck i'm so doing this lmfao
Once I figured it out, it was a VERY simple process. The problem is that the replacement motors are hard to come by these days.
@@protomor yeah i cant find any :c im worried i'll have to replace my wheel entirely, my motors aren't working so when i plug in my wheel nothing happens and no steering is detected
@@Ivvelis I'd test them out but I don't own anymore logitech units. I'm sure there's replacement motors somewhere. Yuo can likely even find replacement stock units.
Hey just wondering does this mod work on g923 wheel
Sorry for the late reply. But yea, it's the same motor and such. They didn't change much of the internals at all.
They did not, but the G923 runs a different, more aggressive power curve on the same original motors.
So more powerful motors might misbehave in a G923, whereas they would not in a G29 or older.
You’re awesome
How much torque does it put out now?
I have no idea how to measure it. But my guess is 5 to 7 nm
@protomor that's so awesome! I'm keen to do this to my G29, but I'm honestly too scared I'll bugger it up.
I have changed over the red rotary dial to a black one, so I've had it open before up to the wheel itself. I've also pulled apart the shifter to put a 3d printed spring pre-tensioner in behind the shifter spring.
And also printed out a pedal extension for the throttle.
So I've been enjoying moddind the G29 in one way or another to improve its functionality and looks.
But this feels next level! I'm keen just by looking at how fast it can now move. I feel like that is the actual main area that the g29 falls short compared to a real car, is how fast it can spin itself.
I'm keen on a CSL DD for this very reason. But then saw this.
I've only had my G29 for nearly 3 weeks as it is. But I'm already feeling it's disadvantages.
Although I feel for actual racing it's just fine, but for drifting, it just seems a bit slow and weak
@@GregoryShtevensh I would definitely recommend a DD wheel. Fanatec isn't my fav as they've failed me in the past. This motor upgrade will help but is not DD level.
@protomor unfortunately everything else seems too expensive in Australia.
The Moza R5 is an option, but I'd get less for my money.
With 700aud, I can get base, wheel, pedals, and clutch pedal, if I go CSL DD bundle plus clutch pedal
But out of curiosity, what budget DD would you recommend? 🤔 Thanks for any help ❤️
@@GregoryShtevensh fair. I love my alpha mini though
How much nM do you get after?
I really have no way to measure. I'd wager under 6 though.
whats the encoder for?????
The encoder tells the software where the wheel is in rotation.
Move over Fanatec and Moza 😂
Def not the same as a good wheel. But it helps a ton!

Hello Jeffery, you are a smart guy and I like your videos. You are good on fixing Logitechs ;) Maybe you can help me. I have these chattering/ratteling noises coming out of my wheel and I had every little thing in my hands.I disassembled all I could, but couldn't find the issue. No teeth are broken, motors are good, as screws were tight. I have no idea and it drives me crazy. I remember that there were no such noises when the wheel was new. So there is a problem somewhere but I don't know where. I have the G27, but it is the same noises as in the video below. A bit louder and clackier maybe. th-cam.com/video/9yAt3wTq4f8/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your time and advice :)
how far have you disassembled the unit? Something has to be loose or some teeth have to be broken. Make sure the wheel is screwed into the base properly. Also make sure the geared rack on the bottom has the tensioner curved metal leaf spring installed properly.
@@protomor I disassembled everything except the 2 bearings in the housing. All screws are tightened and the leaf spring is also installed properly. I curved it a bit more for more tension. Every gear has its teeth - not 1 has gone. The big plastic one looks good and the 2 brass gears too. I tried to see something without the cover but I see nothing. There are some guys with the same problem over the years, but no one has a solution for this.
I did run it without the cover...that is what I wanted to say.
@@marcels.7226 I'd have to see pictures and video. Something is loose somewhere.
@@protomor Switched off or switched on you don't feel anything. No rattling, no noise. The force feedback is also buttery smooth. The clacking comes, for example, when you drive on concrete slabs with huge gaps like on Sebring 1966 in Assetto Corsa or GT Legends or Spa Francorchamps Historic in pCars 2. The first time I noticed it was in a 12h race with ACC on Monza while shifting through the Lesmo corners.
who care about Voltage/Curent parametres?? Right?? U think u can just put another motor? Im many years in HObby. So i tall u that not right! controller board and drivers will burn coz of that!
Stop driving in third person
cope
Stop being self centered
Why do you care
