 what's up guys welcome back to the channel I'm EvilRabbit so today we're gonna talk about the G920 and the aftermarket wheels and some things that I think you guys should know if you guys are planning on changing your rim to a full-sized rim or stuff like that as you guys know I am rocking my new energy innovations Alcaterra suede wheel so there's some few things that I should definitely let you guys know as you know I have no buttons or anything on the back of mine I have all the buttons completely removed there's nothing behind it because all my buttons are off to the side so I will leave the link for the video about the buttons on the side in the description box below on how I moved them so you guys can refer to that for moving them so the biggest thing is today we're gonna talk about weights of wheels and stuff like that and different options you have for installing an aftermarket wheel on the G920 things I found that I believe everybody should know so we're gonna take this rim off take it over to the other side and do a little comparison so let's uh let's do it so I just have it mounted straight to my adapter which I'm gonna show you guys here once I get this unscrewed trying to do this while holding a camera and unscrewing my bolts at the same time you know multitasking then you got the rabbit in the background drinking his water over there that's what the clicking is so I'm gonna get this unscrewed here fully so we should be able to take this off right there leave our screws right there and now let's get into the adapter that I have on here okay so if you notice like I said there's nothing behind my rig behind the wheels I just use a standard adapter that's 3d printed I will leave the link for it is an AM Studios adapter that I had 3d printed and it's a flush adapter so he does have another adapter like this it's called the boss adapter so this is a if you notice the thickness difference this is a custom designed one that he gave to me so this simply slides over the G920 once you take all the wheel off it slides simply it's got the exact thing it will slide right on the shaft of the G920 so this is the adapter that I'm using because I don't have my buttons or anything back there there's some other 3d printed ones that you can do if you have access to a 3d printer that you can put on with the factor wheel which you're gonna actually get into with the buttons and stuff like that and we're gonna do some weighing to weigh the difference between the G920 wheels the aftermarket wheels my wood grain versus my okatera and stuff like that like I said I'll leave all the links for me moving on the side I did put my L and R buttons here for right now just because I kept tired of going back the description on how to move all that in the description box so you can refer to those videos so let's move over behind me on to a little white board so we can take a look at some other things about the wheels and changing it over and stuff like that all right so as you can see we got a lot of things going on right here we got my minty green and neurochrome energy wheel we got the Alcatero wheel we got stock G920 rim and we do have a scale back here which we're gonna get to in a minute so the stock G920 wheel obviously the sizing is way different you go from a 300 I believe it's like a 250 maybe 300 to like a 350 wheel so with all the button controls and everything here and you guys know that the wheel goes in I don't have the buttons out so I can't pull those all the way out that you have the center so if you guys are changing over to a full-size rim but you don't want to remove the buttons from behind it's quite actually simple when you take the wheel off of course you would be removing these two I do show that in the other video that I'm leaving in the description box you do remove these two buttons that so you can actually get the full rim off so I had a simple billet adapter of course I have an energy sticker on there now I drilled these holes in the hair these holes aren't actually on it it's just these holes right here so this billet adapter is available online I believe it's like 25 bucks I'll leave a description on it this actually screws right onto the button control with these screws with the factory screws that hold the G920 rim on so once you do that you have the ability to put a 70 millimeter hub rim right onto it now the only problem with this that I found is the buttons are really close to the spokes on a flat style wheel this is what I used to run but if you had a rim like this as you can see the buttons are a little bit more accessible but the side button is still pretty pretty close to that so that's one of the things I think you should know about that but with this this itself weighs 5.5 ounces so you're adding this to the G920 and then you're adding a rim which is also heavier how much heavier is the question because the boss adapter weighs 1.8 ounces or is that weighs 5.4 so the 3d printed adapter weighs definitely a lot less it's just as strong so now the question goes how much more does the aftermarket rims weigh well we're going to take all the parts to the G920 rim controller wheel top piece and the actual weight of a G920 rim is 1 pound 6.3 ounces so that's a factor G920 rim that's how much a factory G920 rim weighs with all the buttons so now for my rig I'm running 1.9 ounces so basically two ounces more on my boss adapter and my Alcaterra wheel only weighs 2.1 so the difference between all the buttons on the G920 rim if you take everything off 1.6 to 2.1 is only you know it's not it's 1.6 I mean it's not super it's not that much heavier I mean of course it is heavier so and the difference between say my Alcaterra wheel which is 2.1 and my mint green and narrow chrome is pretty much the same so the energy wheel is pretty much all way the same but the only difference is if you are say you're taking the factory rim or a faker adapter you're adding a billet adapter so you're starting off at 5.6 now you're going up to 11 then you're adding a rim on there you're at 2.2 2 pounds 12 ounces so it gets pretty heavy if you're putting a billet adapter on your G920 and going with that so would I recommend a 3d printed one I definitely would because it's a lot lighter there's not much weight to it especially if you're going up to full-size rims with the G920 not having so much torque on it you may run into a loss of feedback feel which there is a bit of a loss of feedback feel when you go from the small rim to the bigger rim because of the size of the wheel and the weight so does it help drive of course it does it feels so much better it feels more realistic by far so to basically sum this all up we're gonna go back over to the rig with the rim and sum everything up real quick but just a little some things that I wanted you guys to know the weights of the wheels and stuff like that things that I think you should know if you're changing your wheel pulling the buttons out through the center is definitely an easy way if you don't use paddle shifters and you have an H pattern so we're gonna go back over to the rig and do a little summary of up and sum this all up real quick and then we'll you know go from there so we got our wheel back on so to sum everything up buttons to the side definitely better for wear and tear for drifting especially if you have a handbrake wired in to say one of the paddles that's only of course if you're using a shifter and of course my handbrake which is wired to the paddle shifter and stuff like that so it's changing the wheel a good thing it gives you a more realistic feel I feel like it gives you a lot more control you do have to worry about weight you will lose a little bit of force feedback doing a 3d printed adapter is way better than I feel the billet adapter they do make some 3d printed adapters that go on the buttons which I don't have that you can just put the rim on top of the buttons with the paddles back there so you don't have to worry about pulling everything off to the side if you're not comfortable pulling everything off to the side so I just want to make this video give you guys some you know things that I feel you should know if you're changing your rim on your G920 as you guys can see it's definitely a big big concave dish there got a little light refraction there so things I feel you should know so I guys I hope you guys enjoyed this I hope it's a bit informative I know a lot of people been asked about the wheel weights and stuff like that so that's why I want to let you guys know about the rim weight so I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope you guys got some good information out of it so as always I mean we're at it I'll see you guys on the next one
