This single motor is not really as easy as the twin setup, you can't use the standard bracket or even have the wheel inside its normal case. Using the twin buhler setup will be easier, and it's a really nice improvement over stock
Yeah agreed Blue028, and may I say what an improvement it is indeed!
Have run a few hours in total with Erics Buhler mod installed now and can say it was really easy to install, very very detailed instructions with pics inside the package when it arrived so no real confusion about installing them.
Although I did go for the complete package including new bracket, pulleys etc, had the air pump (15-25l/m depending on pressure resistance, aka: dual diaphragm 15w) + power supply MW NES-350-24) with DC cord/plug for pcb at home already so just hooked it up and ready to go.
The difference is quite amazing, in a way it´s like a totally new wheel all together in terms of strength cause the FF is so much stronger, I´ll even say even stronger then I first anticipated before order. With that being said I don´t run at full FF like I did back with stock motors cause it´s not needed now, don´t even have heat fading anymore which is great cause but then again I don´t have the stock thermistor hooked up to motors. In case anyone wanna order thermistor to go with those Buhlers my multimeter said 10K Ohm so that´s what I order + 1.25mm M JST 2 pin connector just to be on the safe side.
At first I notice some lack of sensitivity from the wheel but after spoken to Eric I found out it´s my fault, to much tension on the belt I did the mistake of trying to tighten it up as much as I can. I did that cause when hitting software stop on wheel belt just kept slipping uncontrollably from the power of those Buhlers, did not think about the fact that it won´t happen like that when playing in games so loosen it up a bit and so far all seams great.
I´m very happy with this mod, I´m quite poor so I took a hit when order this mod but it´s so worth it, every penny of it you will not regret it if you take the jump and order imho! It´s not just that it´s more resistance in wheel but everything gets amplified with this mod obviously, like for example hitting curbs or going off road you can truly feel it in the wheel a lot better now.
Sorry for my English do not really have the vocabulary to express what I feel but if your one of those who consider this but in doubt, well don´t doubt it anymore it really makes such a difference and you don´t have to do any machining at all if you go for full package like I did it´s easier then building IKEA furniture and faster done too I think.
Sure glad I found this thread and thank you GTPlanet community cause it made my Fanatec CSW what it should have been form day, could not be happier with wheel atm!
and also one of the twin buglers suffered a fatality, pretty sure it has stemmed from running them with no cooling at the beginning but I will be getting more of the twin buhlers once the group order goes through.
