Using a 'dumb' wheel with Fanatec Elite base

[Lesthegringo]

Guys, I have a Momo suede wheel that I want to use with a Fanatec Elite base (arriving with my boss on the 8th August). I do have the Formula wheel to go with it, but would like to use the old Momo for the early GP cars, with no buttons and my H-pattern box.

I can 3D print the physical adapter to marry them up, but will the Elite base work with feedback without the electronics on the wheel connected to it?

Cheers

Les

You need universal hub to use "whatever rims", there's no way around it. Remember that you can use just basic hub part, without those button pods, yo just remove them and there's still needed buttons in hub itself.

Thanks, shame that I have to do that.

Are there any simple aftermarket hubs I can use? As I said, I don't need any buttons on the wheel, just the force feedback provided by the base

Cheers

I have no idea if it would work with a generic rim, but it just crossed my mind that they're selling these quick release adapters now since the release of the McLaren wheel.

Edit: I just realized you were looking for a solution with the Elite base... Sorry. It'd still be interesting to know if it's possible to use said adapter with a generic wheel on a CSW though!

The base will always 'needs' a Fanatec wheel or the universal hub attached to work as the base is using the electronics from the wheel/base to function.
