    Hi everyone;
    I want to build a simulator 3DOF such as Craig (@SilentChill ).
    I'm passionate simulation games, including Asseto Corsa, Project Car, F1 and other racing games and elite dangerous.

    I'm in my project study phase and makes a list of components to buy.
    But I still have to choose certain items such as: Engines and Gimbal.

    What do you recommend? What important characteristics for the engine with a good response?

    See you soon.

    For french user:

    Salut tout le monde;
    Je voudrais construire un simulateur 3DOF comme celui de Craig (@SilentChill ).
    Je suis passionné des jeux de simulation, dont Asseto Corsa, Project Car, f1 et d'autres jeux de course et élite dangerous.

    Je suis dans la phase d'étude de mon projet et réalise une liste des composants à acheter. Mais il me reste a bien choisir certains éléments comme par exemple: les Moteurs et le Cardan.

    Que me conseillez vous ? Quelles caractéristiques importantes pour le moteur avec une bonne réactivité?

    A bientôt.

    Hi everyone;
    that's it, I bought the bucket seat. It is in excellent condition including the following photos.Il weighs about 10kg.

    Now the remaining components to be defined are:
    engines and know where to source europe (if possible in France).

    We found this reference often mentioned: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-DC-Ge...al_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item58b2cd2323

    But on ebay, the product is no longer available.
    Do you have an idea of the dealer to buy? or an equivalent?

    See you soon.

    For french user:

    Salut tout le monde;
    ça y est, j'ai acheté le siège baquet. Il est en excellent état dont voici quelques photos.il pèse environ 10kg.

    Maintenant les composants restant à définir sont :
    les moteurs et savoir où s'approvisionner en europe (si possible en france).

    On a trouvé cette référence souvent évoqué : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-DC-Ge...al_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item58b2cd2323

    Mais sur ebay, le produit n'est plus disponible.
    Avez-vous une idée du revendeur pour en acheter? ou un équivalent?

    A bientôt.

    cant wait to see how this project turns out, I thought about doing a 3DOF as well but I would rather learn the basics first, but thats just my own personal preferences. :)

    Hi everyone;

    I think buy these engines: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEAR-MOTOR-...384?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51bd392f00

    What are your views on these engines and if possible have a topic and videos from those they use.

    See you soon.

    For french user:

    Salut tout le monde;

    Je pense acheter ces moteurs : http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEAR-MOTOR-...384?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51bd392f00

    Quels sont vos avis sur ces moteurs et si possible avoir des topic et des vidéos de ceux qu'ils l'utilisent.

    A bientôt.
