Hi everyone, my name is Andy, i live in England, and have been sim racing for about 5 years. I bulit my first seat mover about 3 years ago, but wanted a full frame sim this time around. I've bulit this using stuff from around the house, an old garden swing set, a Target hi fi rack unit, plus the pedal section & steering section of an orignal playseat. I do not have all the ...

Hello all simracers!! First,i want to apologize for my English,it's not my motherly language.As the name of topic says,i decided to built my first 2dof with traction loose.From the beggining i though about just to make 2dof,but planes have changed.I want to use this project my 2 12v wiper motors,and one big 12v worm DC motor from Motion controls product.For boards i have choosen Pololu jrk 12v12 for each motor,and whell known PSU HP-DPS-600PB,too one ...

Hello, I am Torsten, 46 years old from Berlin and carry the virus SImRacing for 10 years in me.
About that I have 2 bass shakers installed in my RIG and I've been busy with the X-Sim software,
I now have come to the decision to build a 2DOF seatmover in my rig.

The project is planned with Arduino and wiper motors. The conversion is to be integrated into the rig so as to maintain ...

Well after 2 years of enjoying my first build the time was right to try something new. Santa had delivered a shiny new Rift VR CV1 early in December so with a renewed love of sim racing I started gathering some parts and dreaming up some ideas to freshen up the rig. My drives are still as good as the day they arrived and the platform made solely from aluminium chequer plate was in essence ...

Here a testdrive with my Motionseat in iRacing on the legendary Nordschleife. :)

My Motionseat is still in development. To go the easy way my sim ist built in wood. The construction is super compact and needs only 18cm under the seat. May be some pics will follow later...

Some data of my Motionseat:

4 DC wormgear-motors with 12V/23A and 80rpm
Thanos board with x-sim software
no ...

Hello everyone,

so this coming new year im planning to do my self a 2DOF seat mover...most preferably using f1 seated position style. So i have spend almost half year reading and gaining knowledge how to build this thing. So yeah, please help me during my adventure yes?

this project is inspired by racingmat's Finished 2DOF 12V DC wiper arduino playseat
Link to his project : viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1617

he has ...

Sorry if there are errors in English.

I state with pleasure thanking "Racing Mat" user from which I was inspired for my project. I present my "sim 2 dof". For my homemade simulator, I chose the iron rods of 35x35mm 2 mm size for the base and 30x30mm and 20x20 sp.2mm for the upper float. The all welded.

I will show you step by step my realization.

Hi All :D ,

I have signed up to this forum couple years ago willing to make a motion simulator. Time and funding wise it wasn’t the right time. But 2 weeks ago I thought this might be the time for it so I have started ordering parts.

I will basicly be making a motion sim looking like the one Floriske made some years ago.

I ...
