    You could always build another one, it is easier the second time and often you have got a few new ideas ;)

    Since the sim is done. I’ve started thinking of improvements. For starters, have to wire up the new PSU and a bigger elec box to fit it all in.

    will try and remove all the slip that’s currently in the system too. (It’s not a huge amount but enough to notice)

    A good thing about my sim is the ease of dismantling.. so i could actually take it away with me. Maybe i can adapt it even more to fit in the car
