    Thank you for your comments.
    220v is much more expensive and this was a low-cost project.

    AC "IS" suitable for reversing.

    You use an "inverter duty" AC Motor and a good VFD and the will work forward/reverse for years.

    Hello. I am Prashanth. I am working on motion simulation. I have motion simulation for car, forklift and a tractor. Now i need to build a very cheap 6DOF motion platform. A platform, not a seat. I need help to build it from scratch. If you could help me, it would be great!

    Best to start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find the FAQs are a great place to start your research, there is even a section for 6DOF: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Good work.
    After several months of decline, what are the experience feedback of your engines. Would you choose the same?

    Thank!
    Remember that mine is only a prototype, just wanted to prove it was possible.
    To make a good 6DOF have to use more powerful engines and better electronics.
