    I built this after getting inspiration from mostly Nick Moxleys Project.

    Went slightly different with the electronics compared to his project.
    Used the Arduino Uno with Bridged Motomonsters and SMC3 on it.

    3x Motors from the Canadian Ebayer, which many bought theirs from.

    Power supplies i used 3 x Dell Poweredge 2950.

    Seat i bought from https://www.fk-shop.de
    You usually have to buy them in pairs.

    Designed and printed quite a lot of stuff with the 3d printer.

    Also added a OSW and HE Ultimate Pedals last year, and i have to say they both are the best Investment i did.
    I modded my Fanatec BMW Rim to Q1R, and i still can use Fanaleds to run the Rim.

    Also did a Buttonbox with a Arduino, although i would never use a arduino for it if i build a second one.

    Great work! @Nick Moxley you inspired someone! ;)

    Lorien31, what type of motion arms are those? did you make the lengths adjustable? I see some threaded rod as well.

    Yes those arms are just a M10 threaded rod, which is really cheap and great to get it to the right size. Just put a pipe over them for a bit more stiffness.
    Yeah really liked his design, was simple, compact and well documented. So it was kinda easy to do something similar. And i have to say it works great and i race often. :D
    So thanks @Nick Moxley ;)
