hey. having abit of trouble with my steering wheel. the adapter dont work anymore and the steering wheel wont turn on using batteries, dose any body know to get it back working or if you can get an adapter, ive phoned xbox customer support, they said they dont make them any more and theres no adapters left. thank you.
Nice work!, I just got that wheel and pedals combination and this looks like a brilliant idea b/c you could just lift the whole thing out of the way when you want to play a non racing game..which I often do.
great job buddy! this is the perfect example of a cheap setup that you can push away super easy when you are done playing. You can have a look at my playseat on my channel. I have build one with a real car seat and also MDF. It works perfectly.
i've been looking for a good way to fix my wheel and couldn't find anything commercially that was suitable (and cheap) at the moment my wheel is on a shaky card table :)).
i like the idea of actually fixing the wheel and not using the clamp.
Nice job man I was just at the hardware store but I couldn't remember what stuff you used. I know mdf but what else. I just got a new dill hammer and bits. Anything else.
i just went and bought a sheet of MDF and all of the other stuff im building one right now i took your dimensions so it kinda looks like yours but i put a little more support. ill put a link to show you what i built when its done! Thanks!
I bought the 4' X 8' X 3/4" sheet of MDF at Home Depot but Lowes sells it to. I used a strip of Gorilla Glue on every joint, not too much though because it expands to something like 4 times it's size. Any wood glue would work but I do think Gorilla is the strongest myself. Pre-drill your screw holes or MDF cracks.
Dimensions are for yourself, design it according to your size or go and take a look on your car. You dont need to make one exactly the same, you do not need to make it with the exact amount of materials, as long as the thing fits and it wont break...
this is a very good idea I am in the midst of building a foldable racing seat that has mount locations for steering wheel, pedals my 24'' lcd and my 7 speaker surround sound system. Will most likely make the steering wheel and pedals detachable so that I can use it as a generic gaming seat. Will make a vid of it when I am done.
they have made one with a clutch and stick. its made by fanatik a german company. it works with the xbox 360 more importantly it was intoduced souly for Forza 3!
Do you think it would be Possiable to make a Homemade H Shifter for the Xbox 360 cause the Paddle Shifters are alright but an H Shifter would be Cooler.
MAn Thank You so much next week Im getting this and my first opinion is where do I sit it on well I must go to Home depot or lowes first thanks Again...
If the Turtle Beach headset is designed for the xBox 360 it will work. The headset connection on the steering wheel is exactly the same as the standard 360 game controller.
I have a turtle beach and when i plug it in to the steering wheel you can talk and people will hear you but you cant hear them so i had to set up them talking so that it came through tv sound which would still go in your headset
THANKS MAN!!! I live in a boat so I ain't got much room and they realy are a pig to play coz they always move around the floor so this is perfect chers.
The video was shot in my garage right after building it. The chair is a "garage" chair that just happened to be handy at the time. My son actually uses an office chair.
Why in the name of all that's holy did you not just hard mount the wheel and pedals utilizing the hard mount holes on the bottom of the wheel and pedals? You just have to remove the lap wings. There's no reason to drill through the lap wings, and the pedals invalidating your warranty.
I wish I knew that before I drilled it lol. That will be good info for anyone else who builds one. As far as warranty goes I think it is long expired. Thanks for the info.
Gives me some ideas. I'm right in the designing phase of making my own kinda stand and I will probably add a Sub and some speakers to it as well. I'm gonna make mine more like an indycar!
I think it took about 3 or 4 hours but I was taking my time designing it etc... If someone was in a hurry they could probably build it in an hour or so minus glue dry time. Basic dimensions are posted below. Here is a link to a slightly different one I built:
This is the kind of setup I've been wanting to build. It's affordable and I commend you for sharing it with us. Can't wait to get started! I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!
I have had several people message me about the basic dimensions so I thought I would post them. All dimensions are based on outside dimensions.
Width - 22 inches or 56 centimeters
Height - 25.5 inches or 65 centimeters
Depth - 23 inches or 59 centimeters
(depth meaning from front to back)
These are basic dimensions which will fit most adults and children 12 or older. If you use an office chair with adjustable height it works very well. Message me if you have any further questions. Thanks.
It does not wobble at all with force feedback on. The material it is made of, MDF (medium density fiberboard) is heavy. It also helps that the weight of your feet tend to hold the unit steady as well. I will post a video soon of my son using his in game play soon so you can see it working with feedback on. Here is a short video of the other one I built:
I did consider that at first but after screwing and gluing all structural joints it is very stable. The front board that is attached at a 45 degree angle added a lot of strength.
