Question Found a cheap DC motor/Wheel combo from an arcade game

https://www.arcadespareparts.com/ar..._maximum_tune_steering_wheel_motor/13792.html

Just curious if anyone knows if this would be usable as a starting point for a DIY Direct Drive wheel setup?

Only just realized today that maybe DIYing a Racing Wheel is viable today, after DIYing controllers for other arcade games haha

Thanks.

According to the Manual of the game, it's a DTM-7060.

Quick google search and I found -

40w does not seem very much

Is this wheel direct drive or is it geared


My suggestion is to use a 1020my 1kw motor or go for it and build a proper servo motor

Oof, that's a $245 motor, I did find https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/k...3nm-1841ozin-5a-86x86x150mm-34hs59-5004d.html which is used in the video below but that controller board isn't available for purchase yet, If I got that servo linked is there a controller board available to use it with and a guide any where?

I think your motor is a bit weak for a racing wheel, it s about the same as a thrustmaster t300

I mean "same as a $345 wheel" seems okay to me for someone who wants to just get into this, is there a part list/build guide I'd need to make a usable setup?

a stepper motor is not suitable for FFB imo

use a dc or servo motor
