    Here is my rig, from France :)

    I made it last year but still evolving it when i got time!
    It's made of an arduino uno, a sabertooth and two 120W DC motors.
    Recently i've added 2 bass pump under the seat, and i'm currently watching to add a 3rd DOF, for the traction loss...

    And finally, here is some pics! :)

    Arduino + Sabertooth is a perfect combination... My advice: consider buying directly a Sabertooth 2x32A instead of the 2x25, it's much more tweakable ;)

    Since the photos, i've changed both motors, and the motors stands.
    Much more reliable...

    Here is the sim in action (sorry for my poor wheel stand, it has to be braced^^):
