DIY Simagic P-HPR Neo Clone

The $3 P-HPR Neo Alternative

After researching what's inside the Simagic P-HPR Neo haptic vibration module, I discovered it's primarily powered by a simple rotary motor with flywheel. This inspired me to create a budget-friendly DIY version that delivers the same functionality at a fraction of the cost.

This project includes:

• Complete 3D printable case files (no supports needed, but prints better with tree supports)
• Detailed parts list with links to affordable components
• Step-by-step assembly instructions with photos
• Wiring diagram for Simagic controller compatibility

What You'll Need

• RK-370 8500 RPM 24V single-axis vibration motor ($1~ USD)
• 2pin DC Male Power connector (5.5mm x 2.5mm) ($1.30~ USD)
• 2× 2.5mm heatset inserts
• 2× 10mm 2.5mm hex screws
• Basic soldering equipment
• Access to a 3D printer

Functionality

This DIY haptic module provides:

• Instant force feedback vibration response
• Realistic track feel and immersion
• Compatible with the same telemetry parameters as the original
• Works with SimHub and Simpro software

Compatibility

This DIY haptic module works seamlessly with:

• Standard Simagic controllers (included with P1/2000 series)
• P1000 and P2000 pedals
• SimHub (native support)

Perfect for sim racers looking for enhanced immersion through haptic feedback without the $50+ (NZD) price tag of the official product. The design is compact, lightweight, and delivers the same tactile feedback as the original.

Build time is approximately 1-2 hours depending on your experience level. All parts can be sourced online for around $3 total.
 

Assembly Instructions

1. Solder the negative and positive of the barrel jack connector with pigtail to the negative and positive of the vibration motor.
2. Insert the heatset inserts to one side of the HPR's shell.
3. Route the wires for the motor out the bottom side of the shell with the cut out.
4. Screw the two shells with the motor inside together with the 10mm 2.5 hex screws.
5. Plug into the Simagic controller and you are good to go!
