    Hi everone! I am working on a 6 dof race simulater. I bought the electronics except wiper motors :(. I will use arduino nano with motomonster shield. I made some tryings with driller motors and power window motors but they are not compatible, drill motors are 4.8 v they are spining out of voltage and power window motors are suitable for voltage but they have not a spining shaft. Now I am looking for stronger wiper motor about 150 w power , should everyone give an advice to buy them? Thanls a lot.
    There is a simulater picture from inventor which I planing to built (My own draw :) )

    6dof with wipers is a stretch as they usually dont produce enough power. do you have a design style picked out?

    hi bruce stephen. I am following for 2 dof style and here is name of article (i can not share the links because I am the newbie around here.)
    Arduino code: 2DOF and 2 pins direction Hbridge (motomonster) 1.2.2
    and the other 2 dof i will create my own style, it's not drawn yet in inventor. I will use 2 motors for roll and pitch and the third motor will control the sway axis, fourt motor will control the surge axis.

    When I see the picture with your father, I feel very different.
    This is quite dangerous with the angle grinder in hand and without goggles.

    hi everyone here is my simulater test pilot and and the gameplay video. I need some help about simulater, here we go!
    - Why is the movings are so sharp?
    - Is the reaction of actuaters real time? is there a delay?
