    Hello folks,

    I´m going to use this topic to update my project! It will be an F5 chassis running on 2DOF powered by an arduino, 2 bosch DC motors@24V, running RacigMat code...

    Let me show you guys some pics....

    All that mess... Power supplies, arduinos, DC motors, case.....

    woow... where did you got the chasis...

    about your motors... dont you think that you need a biger motor, wiper are the smallest ones you can get, but i guess your sim will move a lot of weight...

    Hello ferslash,

    We have 2 of them and this category has been discontinued here in Brazil. Those motors are similar to wipers, but a little bit stronger. They are 45 rpm (slow) and have 10N.m of torque. Let's see what will do in a few weeks. If the response were not what we accept, I'll try big worm motors, but import fees in Brazil are almost an assault.

    See you soon!

    10Nm is not enough... Motors used by RacingMat were 16Nm and 48rpm.

    Welcome Guto!
    I think that motors would work if he mount them at the feet.
    BTW, great chassis!

    I too think these motors will struggle. Whats the weight of the chassis? A seat mover with these motors 'll be fine, but moving an entire steel chassis 'll be a challenge.

    I´m going to use shoulder mount to minimize the forces, since the hole system is balanced.

    I´m planing to use the shoulder mount version... any cons???

    I´m going to split the chassis in "half".... I´m going to take apart were it suposed to be the engine, it´ll probably reduce the hole weight.

    Tks fer! I´ll!

    I think foot mount is less stress for that motors, using the entire chassis. Also I really liked the feel of the foot mounted motors, but that's just a personal opinion.

    Thanks Mariano!

    I agree with you... Lets use math to solve the problems... M=FxD!!! I´m going to take your idea!!!

    I´ve just received an important piece of F5im. I´m glad to bring to F5im the new SimuCube!
