    I am not certain what you mean by "change the rotation direction".

    Do you mean how is the motor wired to the controller and pot so that altering the pot changes the motor direction, if so it is like this: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/attachments/jrk-wiring-jpg.16435/

    Or do you mean how do you change the gearbox so there is a left and right configuration, in which case you disconnect the gearbox from the motor, unbolt the gearbox 2 halves, turn the main gear over and bolt it all back together.

    I'm not sure why you would need to mess with the gearbox unless you had some extreme space constraints. The motor will spin both directions by reversing voltage (switching the red and black wire). Your controller (JRK, MonsterMoto, etc.) will do that for you. But to try it manually just switch the wires to your 12V power.

    You open the gear box and swap to keep thing's Symmetrical, plain and simple. That is unless you want thing's to be a little "wonky" on the motor placements on an other wise square frame.

    Hello I´ve already build my motion sim and installed simtools and patched Project cars, but the motion doesn´t work in the game.
    Does someone know what the problem could be?

    Hi Mo165, to be able to help you out, we need a bit more info.
    What are your jrk config settings for example?

    Recommend you start a project thread to explain/show members what you have built, then you may have a chance of getting help.

    What control boards are used?

    Can you confirm if your sim moves correctly in Output Testing.

    Can you please post pictures of all settings.

    I´ve got two Pololu JRK12V´s.
    The Output testing is only at pololu correctly not at Simtools.
