    Finally I gather some free time and finish the frame , put all together and start experiment without the seat on top of the motion frame.
    For now I want to thank you all that help me in this forum who give me some lights on how to do and for RacingMat that give me the inspiration with is model I will put some pictures and maybe a video after
    Thanks.

    Well done! It takes shapes :cool:
    You already had some fun being shaken or not yet?

    I hope your motors won't try to make a full turn... do you have fuses?

    Hi Luimp. Is there any chance you could provide a photo of your wiring of your Arduino to your monster moto shield ? I have the same bits, just need to check how people have them wired, as iv found 2 different ways on peoples wiring diagrams

    Regards Nath

    Hi, Nath for the RacingMat arduino sketch I just put the monster moto on top of the arduino for the SMC3 arduino I use the original wiring draw from the thread but I'll take a picture and post here.

    Nice set up, but I must point out something after 14 builds experience and others help and guidance.
    The motors at the back connect way too low below centre of gravity. The wipers will struggle like anything.
    May I suggest moving them up the front and connect them to the steering mount , like I have suggested in the picture.

    This way the motors connect higher and because they are working above the weight of you. It will make a big difference on improving motion.

    Looking good but aren't you afraid the pivot is too small?! I ask this because I am looking at a pivot solution..
    Will go to a scrapyard this week to find out my options..
