    Hello everyone,

    after watching many, many videos of D Max (youtube), I decided to start making my first 3dof rig.
    I have already found almost all the necessary parts, except for the motors.
    I would like to order the same ones as he used in the video, but I'm in the Netherlands, so it would cost me a little more because of the postage. and now, my question is, can you recommend me where I could find these or at least similar engines in Europe?

    Have you considered secondhand wheelchair motors, as they are a widely available, powerful and cheap alternative?

    I apologize for not providing more necessary information.
    This is my first post, so I don't know if this is allowed, but here I would like to attach a link to a youtube video, according to which I would make my rig.
    on 1:55 you can find desinge what I want to do.
    Since I am a total beginner, I would like to make a literal copy paste to learn these things.

    Thanks for the reply, can you recommend any type of wheelchair motor that would be a good replacement for this motor as per my first post.
    As I said, I'm a total beginner, so at least I have some reference to look for further.
    Thanks!
