Driving Force GT motor upgrade adapter (M36N-2)

thingiverse

Hello! For those who have a Driving Force GT, you may be interested in this. It's quite common to upgrade the stock motor for a more powerful one, but it's a tricky process as you'll have to dremmel the new motor's shaft to be flat on one side so that it's a 'D' shape, just so you can use the original gear. If you dremmel/file it on an angle it can ruin the bearings, putting uneven stress on the motor as the gear wobbles. Ask me how I know. This then is essentially a gear adapter that slips over the stock gear found on the more powerful aftermarket motor - an M36N-2 motor for example - so that it converts it into a Logitech gear. No more dremmeling the new motor's shaft to fit the original gear, this just slips over the new one to convert it back into a DFGT gear. Instructions: 1. Purchase the new motor here (between 2-3 week delivery): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331127900050 2. Purchase this 24v 6a power brick: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B093WNCD6S 3. Download and 3D print this new gear adapter. 4. Slide the adapter over the new motor's existing gear. 5. Remove the original DFGT motor and install the new motor (the positive and negative wires MUST be switched). 6. Re-assemble and use the new power brick. Done! Enjoy!
