    woow, that is a grate beautifull problem.... motors with too much torque... it is music :D

    - i hope your shaft cranks for motors works.... it would be just grate if they do... i cant not make aluminium parts, but printings its way easier.

    best regards... keep posting

    Guys I'm doing other tests, unfortunately when I go with "PWMmax" values above 170, the sabertooth stops, can it be too much power? What parameters could I adjust?
    In description i have everything stock, i did not touch anything.

    I solved it thanks, not because I had the trigger at the maximum and gave 30v XD
    Unfortunately, I'm slowly working on the work but soon I'll have some update.

    Finally finished everything and found the right setup, fully satisfied with these motors, thanks to Wanegain for all the help !!

    Unfortunately the printed levers broke after some tests, I passed to the old aluminum, also reduced the lever of 20mm.

    Mounted 80mm fans under the motors and heatsinks on the end, so do not exceed 45/50 degrees, even after many laps on the Nurburgring :D

    I'm already thinking about TL, maybe with old 120W motors :D

    Wow .... fantastic sim.

    What happened to the old engines? Were they not strong enough to move the structure or overheated?

    The old engines were powerful enough, they heated up a lot, but this unfortunately I broke the shaft of one of the two, I think for the overweight with me, seat, seat structure and 3 bass shaker I think they abound abundantly 100kg

    However here is a video of the new system running! :D

    Really like the choices you made along the way and it's exciting to see a high power 2DOF. I like the monitor "shade" at the top of the screens, what did you use for that ?

    I do not know the exact name, it is corrugated plastic, like cardboard, I bought for some euros in a local store.
