    Finally got my ass out of the wagon and made a ventilated electronics box!
    The servo drivers were quite a bit larger than the Saberteeth.

    In a couple weeks I will be demonstrating the rig in a motorcycle Expo here in Sweden. At the Falkenberg Race Track people’s booth. Looking forward to that!

    I know all I ever say here is "that's rad"

    But man, that's rad!

    What a good looking set up, well worth emulating.

    The expo was a smash hit! The rig held up fine to the general punishment.
    Many very interesting interactions with lots of laughs and interesting discussions.

    Congratulations, Cris. Those days when we started our projects are long gone, and I think you've taken it to the highest possible level. I'm really happy to see what you've achieved... my most sincere recognition for your project.:cheers

    Thank you Arturo!

    For sure, it has been a while..
    I have goals still to fulfill but leveling up is getting ridiculously expensive from here

    How are things going in your side?

    ;););)it was already expensive when we started…. now I don’t even want to imagine it…

    I finished the project by putting load cells on the brakes, vibrators on the handlebars and seat, a progressive fan with speed (it’s from a radio-controlled jet and gives more than 150 km/h of real wind, an outrage) anyway, with the VR glasses I gave up on it a long time ago….

    Hahaa, yeah the VR can be pretty intense!
    You never really get used to the crashes

    The steering is a custom build. In the beginning it was just normal ffb steering
