    Hi all

    Love the site lots of info here.

    I'm Just starting out with motion. Im an electrician and built a few OSW's etc. So i thought id try my hand at a motion rig.

    I Live in the middle on nowhere so I have not had a chance to try any motion rigs. Im currently reading up to help decide what to build. Im only interesting in useing it for Racing Sims. My thoughts are a 2Dof chassis mover with traction loss.

    Looking forward to talking to you all about it

    Thanks Troy

    Welcome @Troy, nice to see another fellow Aussie join the motion sim fold.

    You will find the community here gives freely give of their time and expertise.

    A 2DOF is a great place to start and can be extended later to include things like traction loss and heave, have a look at existing member builds, that may help you refine your own project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    I am writing from Argentina,
    sorry for my English, because my English is basic I use a translator
    my simulator project is a moving seat with loose traction.
    In next post I'll post details of construction and design of my simulator
    congratulations for giving as much information and tools to complete my project

    Welcome @djritzzo.

    You can duel post in your native language but please also include and English translation via Google Translate.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language groups so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here and share some more details about your 3DOF project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    I look forward to following your progress.

    Hello everyone, I just joined. I don't have nor am currently planning to build a motion simulator as they are out of my price range, but I do have a bass transducer I want to use with the xsimulator software. I want to start getting into sim racing now that I have an Oculus rift and most of my wheel parts should be here at the end of the week (I hope!).
