    Has anyone ordered these motors with the 50:1 box? or know this information to be true in this listing? Seems ambitious to say the least. Im also really curious if these have a lot of back drive like the 25:1 (freewheel).

    @AI.bundy did you get them from this seller? And are they the 50:1? I have seen a lot of the 25:1 used but none of the 50:1. Do they have any back turn?

    Yes I got them from the seller named pgsaw, and i believe they are 50:1, back turn ?? Do you mean they move backwards ? Once they are powered they are not moving backwards at all, hope this helps...

    Back turn as in when they are turned off completely. Will they hold the sim stable or will they move when weight is forced on them

    Yess when power is off then they move, no problem at all for me though, i allways start up the sim and then i enter it so to speak.

    Oh ok that makes sense, so with the fact that they have to be energized 100% of playtime do you have any overheating issues? About how much weight are you throwing on them? Or maybe a pic of your setup :)

    My weight is only 60kg so not much but a friend weighing 85kg also tested the sim, no problems at all, I have built the sim very solid, the motors stay very cool also do the jrk,s , i have them in an old psu box with only one fan on them, but it seems enough to keep them nice and cool.
    At the moment I am just testing the sim while I wait for the mail to arive, i ordered another potentio meter to get my traction loss working.......
    The sim is powered the simple but efficient way, i just use a 45 amp car battery with a loader and it works very well indeed.

    the 50:1 and 60:1 boxes are near impossible to turn by hand with the power off.
    The 25:1 are easy to turn.

    What if you Sit in the chair and wobble around ? Will the magnets/gearing let go then ? I know at first when my motor's were Brand new and tight the motor's would hold a good bit but as soon as they "broke in" the seems to be a little looser.

    Hi @Al.Bundy, I'm about to order online two of this motor type, I know this post is a little old, but could you or someone let me know how to attach the motor shaft of this model to the main levers & potentiomenters? Do I need to buy especific gears/couplings? thank you.

    PLEASE use Nylon nuts, or to be extra sure a standard nut, followed by a Nylon nut to ensure thing's cant wiggle loose. ;)
