Wanted Fanatec Uni Hub

Deleted member 6919 · Aug 2, 2019

Looking for a Fanatec Uni Hub, for the PC..

Deleted member 6919 · Aug 13, 2019

No one...

JohnnyV · Aug 18, 2019

I have one which I dont use anymore, but its been converted to USB and q1r.
You're probably looking for one for your fanatec base ?

Yeh I am, but cheers for the reply..

Did you use a kit for the conversion? would it be easy to reverse?

JohnnyV · Aug 18, 2019

I did it myself with an arduino.
But I’ve sold the fanatic quick release so not reversible

Ok no worries..

Mark, if you go any further with this and need a quick release to make things complete,let me know.

I converted my McLaren rim to usb so have one being unused at the moment.

I see what you mean. Perhaps need to have all the parts laid out so you know you'll be able to make it factory spec once more.

Here's what I have:

The wiring loom/multiplug is from the McLaren rim. Not sure if that particular part is common across all Fanatec stuff or is specific to each different wheel? Might need a Fanatec guru to chip in.

I'm in no rush to part with it but just wanted to let you know its there if you come to need it in the future

@EsxPaul Thank you for this pic.
I just checked and I can use the wiring loom for the universal hub.
But what is the spacing of the 6 holes of the QR?
The universal hub has something like 52 mm from one hole to the hole on the opposite side, yours looks larger.

If it is larger perhaps I can 3d print and adapter.
@Gopher04 Just so you know if you want to go through with this:
My universal hub comes with the original packaging and all buttonpods/encoders/flappy paddles etc
The 7 segment displays works, but i have damaged the daughter board a little bit and as such some buttons dont work on the top side (the Playstation buttons).
But all the 'wheel' buttons encoders shifters etc DO work.
As such I wont ask full 2nd hand value for the hub if you do decide to buy it.

Just trying to help you since I dont use it anymore.

I've just checked the spacing on the holes and they are the standard 70mm spacing from centre to centre on opposite holes so you are correct.

I guess the supplied qr for the uni hub is different to the ones that come with the rims?

Understand, mate. Could be a right ballache when compared to having a complete unit.

I will buy the converted hub if the OP doesn't want it. I messaged you.
