    Hey guys ,

    so this is my motion rig for now , but i think about to upgrade this.

    not sure if i really try 6dof ( like silentchill or Bastiuscha ) looks like i need more space ( my girlfriend would kill me hahaha)

    you see here its done , i use the SFX since dec 2019 , really nice , but i miss something so i decided to buy Thanos bord and the SRS softwar . what sould i say :-o ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yesssssssssss

    after this i thought mhhh i need a belt tensior , but after he hurts me one time really bad , i switch to the idea to built surge , order some parts and build it.

    much safer but mhh i am not happy like i should . i dont feel it after 10 min. sooo my new plan :
    built now Traction lost test this , or build a 6 DOF ..

    i am opfen for hints. :)

    sry for the pictures , but there you can see the progress and different

    regards

    Hi, great project!

    I see from the photos you "upgraded" the ghostflag belt tensioner a bit... have you used larger motor?

    Cause even after double the rated torque of the 90ST-M02430, its still not going to tight that much hard... my advice, keep a kill button for the active belt tensioner in hands reach (to cut the S-on signal)
