    .... I forgot, I would use the platform that is Arduino , as I know him pretty well .
    configuration , lavorrei make 3-axis "pitch , roll , yaw" , to make more realistic the simulator .
    if you have any ideas or suggestions , I'm all ears .

    You really need to spend some time going over existing member builds and then formulate a plan of what you would actually like to build and post a picture of it here. That way members are in a position to give advice about materials and what motors and other hardware may be needed.

    These are different approaches to 3DOF with heave, or under seat heave here, under frame heave here, or my compact simulator with assisted heave here.

    Arduino code and information is here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino.6/category

    ok , thanks for the link , the system that you have done, is like what I had in mind .
    the material available to me is :
    3 engines 24volt 165Watt , with gear 100 : 1 .
    Arduino boards of all types .
    Will ........ for now so much .

    That would be helpful, We built a sim from the joyrider design with some modified parts for around $800 without having any parts before costs.
