    To start I do thanks to the communities of simulators from which I was inspired to build my sim ;)

    Big thanks adbgg!!! and from there I started :cheers


    Please do not send me PM or Email for more assistance if you want help, you can write in my post where they can read all including me and other users of the forum so you can help other people in your auto that have the same problem. Thanks ;)

    Thats a great looking sim there, a lot of time and care taken, looks great!
    Lets see how it moves!

    Re: Blue Sim racing - 2DOF Viper Motor K8055+Sabertooth 2x12

    Wow! That's a great looking sim, especially if you take the build costs into account :eek: guess you had to have some of the stuff lying around allready?

    I've scavaged for the cheapest I could find on a lot of parts (orders in china, hungary .....), but no way I'm going to manage my build within $ 600,- :tape: just my seat and the 2 JRK's are over half of that.

    But once again: Very nice rig!

    thanks BSFT :thbup:

    In fact, I have taken away much free time since then I have the bad habit of not taking measures to draw the first I've undone and redone some things like the pedals and I have done everything in my mind things were as they did the work

    if I make it tonight or tomorrow I put videos on youtube so you can see how it moves in my opinion seems like a good car a real buzz :yippiee:

    Re: Blue Sim racing - 2DOF Viper Motor K8055+Sabertooth 2x12

    allora ho letto la guida ed è fatta bene complimenti ! non vedo l' ora di vedere il video sono curioso.
    avrei alcune domande , se puoi rispondermi quando hai tempo mi fai un favore grazie

    partendo dall' inizio

    1) il mozzo (chiamiamolo così) centrale sotto il sedile , lo hai fatto tu? perchè non capisco come trovarne uno
    2) come si chiama quell' occhiello che fa da albero dal motore al sedile ? non riesco a trovarlo.
    3) gli ingranaggi da dove arrivano :D
    4) il motore hai dovuto modificarlo collegandogli solo l' alta velocità ? o lo hai lasciato originale
    5)caiubbo aveva messo un diodo da 40A nell alimentatore affinchè la sabertooth non facesse tornare indietro la corrente, ma nello schema io non l'ho visto.
    6)la resistenza che bisognerebbe mettere nell ATX serve per stabilizzare la tensione, tu non l hai messa vero ?
    7)non ho tradotto bene la parte dove dicevi che prima di spegnere il software sim devi premere l'emergenza in modo da spegnere l'alimentatore se no succedono disastri ho tradotto bene ?
    8) se vuoi puoi mandarmi a stendere per tutte le domande che ho fatto :cheers:
    no veramente scusa il disturbo








    Then I read the guide and is well done congratulations! I 'm looking forward to seeing the video I'm curious.
    I have some questions, if you can answer when you have time to do me a favor by

    starting from 'start

    1) the hub (let's call it that) under the middle seat, you did? because I do not understand how to find a
    2) how THAT is called 'eye that acts as a shaft from the engine to the seat? I can not find it.
    3) the gears where they come: D
    4) you had to modify the engine collegandogli only the 'high speed? or did you leave the original
    5) caiubbo had put a 40A diode in power supply so that the Sabertooth did not turn back the current, but the diagram I have not seen it.
    6) the resistance that should be put in ATX serves to stabilize the voltage, you did not you put it?
    7) I have not translated well to the part where you said that before turning off the software sim you have to press the emergency to turn off the power supply if no disasters happen I have translated well?
    8) If you want you can send me to lie down for all the questions that I have done: cheers:

    Yes you have done very well with overall costs. Its hard to build a sim for under $600 unless you have the steel already and can find everyhting else cheap.

    Thank you all very kind :cheers:


    Ho messo qualche video di youtube ;D



    Then I read the guide and is well done congratulations! I 'm looking forward to seeing the video I'm curious.
    I have some questions, if you can answer when you have time to do me a favor by

    starting from 'start

    1) the hub (let's call it that) under the middle seat, you did? because I do not understand how to find a
    No! I bought the hardware is basically 2 pieces and welded them together and I do not know how I found them exposed test call to see if they are within a vai autodemolzione and take a linkage

    2) how THAT is called 'eye that acts as a shaft from the engine to the seat? I can not find it.

    They are called knuckles and these also find them at hardware stores

    3) the gears where they come :D

    The gears have them taken by a servo-control of a three-way valve

    4) you had to modify the engine collegandogli only the 'high speed? or did you leave the original

    You must use the green and brown wires lalta speed forever if you take the same engine as mine
    else is written in the guide though it may be that translating is not clear :D

    5) caiubbo had put a 40A diode in power supply so that the Sabertooth did not turn back the current, but the diagram I have not seen it.

    The schematic that I posted and as you see it without diode perhaps because he has served different motors are 24V or went into a tailspin the pc atx 400w seems to me ... and uses it for everything .... I use a power belonging to 30A


    6) the resistance that should be put in ATX serves to stabilize the voltage, you did not you put it?

    Yes! I did not put because as mentioned above using power belonging

    7) I have not translated well to the part where you said that before turning off the software sim you have to press the emergency to turn off the power supply if no disasters happen I have translated well?

    Yes! You must first switch off the button or switch, and because x-sim, which controls the motors and closing it first should be at full speed by breaking the mechanical potentiometers

    8) If you want you can send me to lie down for all the questions that I have done :cheers:
    not really excuse the disorder

    Quiet ... I did the same thing ;)

    I put some videos in youtube ,D

    Re: Blue Sim racing - 2DOF Viper Motor K8055+Sabertooth 2x12

    Let's say I tried to save as much as possible by buying only what you need and all the rest of recovery ... less than $ 600 I see a little difficult ..

    I had something then the closing spring steel fan atx electrical box that is nothing but a stereo speaker engines have donated them to me etc. .. etc. ..
    If I bought all cost much more

    I think for a simple structure like mine are from $ 600 to $ 800
