How much did it cost me 2DOF + Traction Loss Rig?

A few have asked me how much it cost. So I put together a video on how much it cost to build up my bare bones rig. I'm sure I glossed over a few things but all in all it's pretty much there . - The basics.. Take a look if you have time.. DMAX

I bought a used motor and made it. That amount required about 1000 dollars. Depending on what materials and parts are used, the price varies widely, but I think that some degree of completion will come out only after passing 500 dollars.

Sounds good my friend! Best of luck.. BTW my rig included the welder and stuff so I can build anything I want now..

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Thanks my friend! I'm working on an new video series / how to add a DIY seat mover to static sim rigs (using WW motors / should be out on monday.

Thanks for your video!
My 2DOF sim cost me about 700€, but I think that by using a wooden structure and refurbished wiper motors we can go down to 400€ (without peripherals or PC of course ^^ ) .

The link doesn't open. Is it my computer or the video link

Hi, it's just a YT video.. You can find it on my YT page too.. Just type in DMAX motion sim on the YT search and there's a bunch of motion platform videos there..

Hi I used D Max's video as my inspiration and so far I have spent around £400 on my rig which I don't think is to bad and could of been cheaper if I shopped around for materials.

Yeah.. So agree.. I bought three commercial grade motors for $100 each. Works fantastic. now I am doing a couple series on testing Cheaper motors (WW motors) (wheelchair motors) trying to get actual data to the folks wanting to build these and using motors easily available. I would have loved to use those 60:1 Motion Dynamics motors available in AUS.. but the shipping costs were to be frank, insane.. so I went with the 50:1 crab pot motors on my 3DOF.. but since I cannot get them anymore I did a series on using basic WW motors.. not that great but I did a whole video series on them.. Now upgrading them to motorchair motors.. way more powerful, but now at 24 v.. so a few different components.. Here is the video series on that if you care to take a look..

Great video and really cool channel. In my case, I have lost count of how much I've spent because I completely started from scratch. I didn't even have a capable computer or anything to play for that matter, except for a very old PS2 console. I got a welder as well just for the build, and likewise have ended up using it for a few other projects. I don't know probably close to 2 grand plus hundreds of labor hours but totally worth it. Enjoying your channel, keep up the good work and inspiration

Thanks for takin a look at my ch my friend! Yeah.. I'm the same.. no real idea on my 'hobby' or 'multiple hobbies'.. hahah.. Just posted that one vid just to kind of get a 'sense' of what it could cost.. Much more with the pedals, wheels etc.. hahaha! Thanks again.. I keep posting stuff for some reason.. been working on a 2 DOF seatmover project.. why? IDK.. maybe the way I'm 'wired'.. hahah DMAX

I also have enjoyed looking at your channel. Great stuff! Keep it up!
