Wii-Wheel, home-made.

Maddy | April 11th, 2008

first of all, sorry for my bad english ^^ but i try my best!I am sick of nintendos skills for collecting money out of a bunch of additional wii stuff for each new game. so i decided to build my own Wii-wheel for wiigames like Mario-Kart or other racing games.

Here is what u need:
- an empty box of Celebration
- a cutter
- 2 elastic strabs
- a marker
- and a lot of tape ^^

Watch the pictures, they explain more than me^^. the remote controller is a bit bigger than the box but thats no problem, the box is a bit elastic.
Now lets start!

first we cut a little window in the bottom of the box so that all buttons of the controller can be pressed in that window, but not much more! the controller must be stable after that. next we cut all of the mittle bends of the fold-out wall and cut the edges of the wall-parts like curves.
now we cut the 2 strabs and cut 4 little holes near our window to fix our controller at that window by putting the strabs through the holes.
after that we cut out most of the cover of the uper shell and make little holders out of the leftovers. these holders will fix the bottom part with the uper part of

the box with tapes and make it stable. we fold the walls like half-pipes and fix them to the upper part of the box and connect the walls themselves. for that we need a lot of tape. its actually done now, but it still looks ugly. I painted it with white coler just like the controller’s one.

Thats all about it.

greetings, Maddy

    Ive got one better, so you wont tear your wiil when you wanna use your wiimote simple go to your local Radio Shack and purchase a package of 64-2345 hook-and-loop fasteners and to the local salavge and grap a old car steering wheel. Place fasteners on to steering wheel and viola.

    Thats pretty cool. And plus, you get a whole bunch of candy to eat while you’re making it.

    This has been published over and over again, only much simpler.

    Tape the wiimote to a plate.

    This is cool and all, and looks legit for the part, especially after you paint it and re-enforce it, but seriously, just get a plate and some masking tape and you’re set.

    There has been a lot of discussion over different ways to do this, but all you need to do is remove the circutrey from a wii remote and position it in anyway you want. Then you can build you wiil anyway you want.
