The motors have to be at least 18v - 12v wont work. Some motors are sold by buying either the 12v or 24v version. Just make sure it will run on 24v. If it says on the specs it runs of 24v, then it should work. They're not expensive, so you might just have to buy them and see how they go.

Thanks man, I'll take it, see if works in a G29 before I buy the expensive new G29 board.
Here's my email - cor55@tpg.com.au - let me know what you want for it - paypal and invoice etc.
Thanks again.

Just found this motor from a copier machine. It seems to have similar rpms but much more torque. Is this any good before I make the commitment to buy a couple of them?

It may be good spec-wise, but does it also come with a dual output shaft? You need that to be able to put the encoder's magnet onto one of the motors so that the hardware knows in which position the motor is

If u're buying it I'm buying it too. The 2 things I'm concerned about are, will the board handle the motors without any upgrades and how are we gonna mount the sensors. I know we gonna add heat sinks on chips but are we gonna replace something on the board too?

Well, ****. Good luck man I really hope it works.

Is there any advantage using these steel power supplies vs a regular power brick?
Comparing same volts and same amps on both units
Hello everyone, is there anyone still ready to modify their steering wheel? I have a g27 to which I wanted to install the arc team mod. Of course it is no longer for sale. Has anyone figured out the components of the booster circuit? Thank you and hello to everyone

What do you have in place to dissipate heat?
Did the Mosfets get hot?
How did you adapt the sensor?
I was thinking about going with the RS555SH-2670 instead of the 18150. The 18150 have only 26% more torque than stock, while the 2670 has 89% more torque. Another pro is the operating voltage, 9-30v for the 2670 as opposed to 18-30v for the 18150 and 12-28v stock. This lower voltage operation should even decrease the center "dead zone". The downside is the 2670 uses 40% more amps than even the 18150. There is also a post on FB about using the 2670, they had near perfect linearity and 7nM of force, thats higher than the CSL 1.1. While there isn't a ton of info and it looks as if this is a completely custom setup it does make me want to try those out.
I have two G29 wheels, after your report, my plan now is to play it safe with one and install the 18150 motors and the other install 2670's. I'm hoping the worst thing that happens with the bigger motors is the FETS blow at which point I have to replace them anyway.
Were you able to find the RS555SH-2670 I have been looking for some but I have been unable to locate any

Hey, I've been following this thread for a bit of time and wanting to upgrade my g29, expecting a simple drop in motor replacement (with some cooling upgrades), i ordered 2 motors off of aliexpress that had photos of the m36n-2 motor... Well I got m36n-4e motors instead. I checked the datasheet at https://www.mitsumi.co.jp/latest-M/Catalog/pdf/motorav_m36n_4e_e.pdf and when comparing it looks like it needs 5-10 times more amperage when compared to the m36n-2.
So if anyone is more knowledgeable in the field, could you let me know if I could still use these as a drop in replacement (maybe im misunderstanding the datasheet), will the mosfets not blow, is there any other kind of problem like - because of the higher amperage requirement the motor will not perform well until i upgrade the whole power circuit to support higher amps?
If i need to make some additional changes what would i need to do?
Maybe someone here already tried to fit the m36n-4e motors?

I started my G25 journey here a year ago, so I put my **** here now.
Not completely related to this topic, but I think it doesn't hurt anybody, maybe somebody find it interesting or something.

Hi, looks like you are pretty good with electronics. I've got a problem with my steering wheel. It doesn't want to reference. I suspect it's the hall effect sensor gone. Or have you got any other idea? Maybe the magnet become weak? ? Cheers

Hola amigo, alguien podría decirme exactamente cuáles serían los cambios exactos y qué componentes podría cambiar para aumentar la potencia y la velocidad. Quiero saber que motores tendria que comprar.
Mosfet.
y de que manera me canse de leer tutoriales y algunos cambian los mosfets como el arc mod y otros cambian los motores y bueno se cambia la fuente si o si cambio la fuente por una de 12v 8 amperios y funciona mas comodamente sin ruido pero Quiero aumentar más la velocidad y la potencia. Podrían echarme una mano sobre que mosfet podría poner con más voltaje y si también tendría que cambiar los motores, soy de Argentina y quiero saber si los puedo encontrar aquí. Gracias de antemano y esperaré tu respuesta.

If anyone else is interested in this topic, I’m waiting for the RS555SH-2670 in a couple of days, since I didn’t find the RS-555PH-18150 for sale. 2670 according to the specification is much more powerful, I don’t know if the board can handle it, but I’ll try, I’m not good at electronics, but maybe it works so that the transistor simply won’t give full power to the motor and everything will work properly.
