@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 yah no worries ... just the right amount of music, editing, and commentary ... and hey while I got ya here ... do you think most steering wheel / pedal combo's use similar setups? Coz I dont have a spare wheel laying around so i will have to purchase one ... im just starting a similiar project myself ... except mine will be a little less "Portable" like a home base ... and actual roof mounted arials HaHa!
@@charliebrown238 Dang that sounds sweet! I am thinking most wheels have similar internals, just a matter of determining the polarity, ohms and such. I was able to buy a broken, as-is for parts Xbox wheel on Ebay for fairly cheap.
@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 yah I thought they would be similar ... and I have a multi meter, so that will make life easier working out whats what. Anyway, thanks again for all ya help and great video, my AKK 3000W! turned up today, just waiting on the Caddx and then im under way. Rovan 5T 32cc ;)
You're my hero, I got a sim racing rig and just thought of this because i was on Facebook market place and was staring at a post for a minute before i realised i was looking at a rc ford bronco. I'm already on ebay looking for my sacrificial wheel and car
This is by far the easiest way to do this. No arduino bs just a few solder joints and you're up and running. I'm making one like a buddy box that I can plug into my transmitter.
Great job, and to quote - "Brilliant in every way! And thank you for a clear, ENGLISH non annoying commentary! Wish I could give it 2 thumbs up!" I second this!!
@@LightningIguana Sadly, not yet. I have been looking harder at POV equipment, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have had a number of higher priority RC projects that I have been working on.
This would be great with a rc plane fpv gimbal and a head tracker in the fatshark goggles I think I might give this a go I have a lot of spares from my freestyle qwads.
Thanks! You are correct that they can be swapped. The concept with this wiring configuration is combining two potentiometers to act as one in place of the original transmitter single pot. If the total span is 0-10K ohms, then 5K becomes zero speed. If after wiring the pedals you discover they are reversed, you can simply swap the two outside wires going to transmitter from pedals. Hope that helps.
Thank you for detailed tutorial Sir! I have a quitestion regarding to potenceometers, are they all have similar signal? Is it possible that potenceometer from steering wheel won't fit to transmitter?
Thanks! I believe the steering wheel is a 10k pot and if the plug doesn't fit on another style transmitter then you would have to hard wire the signal. It should still be three wires. The middle wire is always the same, the two outside wires can be swapped if steering is reversed. I hope that helps you...
@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 I'm inspired by your experience. Going to buy used steering wheel and try somthing similar with my WLtoys car. Let you know about results.
Man surfing eBay and I saw a mod like this and thought "holy flipping flapjacks and Skittles." I have 3 old wheels from PS2 to USB and a ton of tx and matching tx, even a diy one from Amazon. I am asking and assuming at the same time here, since all insides of steering wheel and pedals are pretty much removed would this be able to be any wheel that uses pots for the inputs?
Hello, We must have the newer unit. it dont have the potinto meters in the pedals, just little boards any help with that. I dont see how to send a pic on here so you can see what we have
I followed your tutorial and got the steering to work great, but both of my pedals will move the rc forward. And both potentiometers need to be at a certain position in tandem for it to work. My transmitter also does not have a throttle trim. Any advice?
Hello! I just wanted to replace the broken pots on an old wheel, but I don't know how to reconnect them. You show a really nice close up at 7:40. What's the logic in that conection? What cables do you know to link and what cables should connect to the pins? Sorry if it's super out topic bit I can't find a lot of info online Cheers!
My wiring shown is modified to work for RC car and wire colors have been switched around. I am not sure if that helps, I can't say I remember the original wiring
Please tell me you still read comments 🙏 I’ve attempted to do this 2 times now and seem to have lost hope in completion. Would you consider a build & shipment 🚚 📦 x2 pcs?
Did your pots match already? I thought about doing this a long time ago. All my transmitters use 5k and my wheel uses 10k. Wired like that it is super erratic. Soldered 10k rez on the pots to get to 5k way better but still fidigety. Any ideas?
Yea I just used the two existing 5k pots on foot pedal but rewired them to that series parallel circuit and made the total closer to 10k. It could be one bad pot if it is erratic. Would have to test wipe with an ohm meter to know for sure.
I love the idea! In theory yes it could work since the controller has potentiometers for the joysticks and triggers. The only problem would be the size of the RC car transmitter component board for integration into controller. If you made it an add on the controller with some 3D printed part I could see it being possible.
@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 Question for you. I'm doing the steering wheel mod now. In the diagram, you have the red wire in the middle from the potentiometer to the transmitter, but you have black in the middle on the potentiometer. Why is that?
@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 Got it (mostly) working! When I press the pedals the car's motor makes a little noise, but not enough to turn the wheels. Any suggestions? Steering works great.
@@trishabelly4194 the transmitter has trim pots that you can adjust that should increase the throttle, but if that doesn't help it could be the resistance in the foot pedal circuit due to bad potentiometer or wiring.
Brilliant in every way! And thank you for a clear, ENGLISH non annoying commentary! Wish I could give it 2 thumbs up!
Thank you so much!!! 🔥🤓👍🔥

This is the best tutorial I've seen on this 👏
This is what i was thinking! because 5k 10k pots are so common. you validated my idea!
Id love to see you do this but with the radiomaster elrs transmitter that would be cool too
Bro that was so awesome ! The rc car is killing it... Great job on everything man.
Thanks man! Was a process but lovin every minute of it!🔥
@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 ur helpin and contributing to the community!
I am so upset that I threw away my 360 wheel a few months back... This is outstanding
Wire in a gyro for haptic feedback.
Nice one. I would like to see someone implement FFB and FPV for even more emersion.
Changing the world
Yes!!!🔥
Thanks so much for this vid. I’m doing a different project but this was super useful!
Awesome!! Thank you!!
Great tutorial!!! This is on my 'to-do' RC project list.
Awesome! Thanks! 🔥😎👍
Did you ever get to-do this project?
@@LightningIguana Sadly, not yet. I have been looking harder at POV equipment, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have had a number of higher priority RC projects that I have been working on.
Bro ur seriously my new hero this is bad ass thank u tiktok
Awesome, exactly what I was looking for, you're a Legend!
I am attempting this with a PXN V3II racing wheel, while using a crossfire TX/RX and Dji FPV. Wish me luck.
That's awesome the extended range will be well worth it 👏
Hello, have you done it?
Wow thanks, looks great.
Damn I was hoping you'd implemented the force feedback, should've just used a self centering wheel.
This would be great with a rc plane fpv gimbal and a head tracker in the fatshark goggles I think I might give this a go I have a lot of spares from my freestyle qwads.
Do you think you might be able to sync up that motor for the steering wheel with the steering servo of the car to simulate the return to center?
Great tut. I don’t get your schematic though, either one could be brake or acceleration
Thanks! You are correct that they can be swapped. The concept with this wiring configuration is combining two potentiometers to act as one in place of the original transmitter single pot.

Fantastic.
I want to do this but for the life of me I can’t get the wiring figured for the pedals
What kind of controlling and camera signal are you using sir?
Hey Brother, this method should be just fine when using an Express LRS Transmitter right?
hey would it be possible that you build something like that for me for school?
Awsome stuff bro!
Sweeeet!! Thanks for the Tutorial :-)
No prob! Thanks for watching!🔥
So what? Do are you sitting on the ground with the steering wheel on your lap?
Great Tutorial!!! Any assistance on FPV parts ?? Like a list of parts you recommend. Long rang. And a radio you recommend. I’m a newbie

Could you please tell what music did you use at 4:16?
so dope !!!!!
Thank you!!! 🤓👍
Can you do this mod on a regular xbox controller?
what the name of fpv camera?
Beast
What if you were to put the knobs to where you can still make the adjustments
That would be a better way to do it if you can secure it properly. Also mounting the antenna externally would extend the range.

@@oscarmeyerfpv2155 ok, I will still try hahah. Thanks for answering! :D
hehey Bro, what is the setup of your viewers?
ive copied the wiring and my brakes are always on. unsure why?
I can tell you why
He wired it wrong on purpose but he explained it in words if you pause the video on his wiring and follow it, it was wrong
Please tell me you still read comments 🙏 I’ve attempted to do this 2 times now and seem to have lost hope in completion. Would you consider a build & shipment 🚚 📦 x2 pcs?
I want you to be able to have the fun experience of driving this fpv rc car so maybe we can work something out
Hay how far can you go with that fpv signal. Like I really want to do like some neighborhood fpv rc and want to know how far can you get those
FPV signal depends on the video transmitter power, but with only 200mw i could go further with good video than the car radio was able to go
