    Hello quadie, thanks for the reply. At this stage I am sticking with my JRK's. However I will keep you in mind for the amc as I have a rather large friend or two whom want sims built.
    Cheers, David ziltoid@optusnet.com.au

    Not too close, not too far! But at least a few people on the eastern sea board. Have you got a sim yet?
    :cheers:

    Hi Muzza, just getting into the sim thing. I have been researching my fingers off and the SCN5 looks pretty good value for money.
    Can you drop me an e-mail addy as I would love to have a chat if possible prior to outlaying the coin etc.

    Regards

    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF
    I was on holidays in Sydney last Easter! Does that count? ;D
    I'm just over the water in Tasmania.
    Got my design worked out for a 2dof joyrider derivative; will be starting the build soon. I too will be making everything from scratch including the seat and AMC etc.

    I'm from Gosford.

    Would be interested in contacting other Aussies to see what they have done.
    I am nearly going to buy a SIMXPERIENCE kit, but if there are other guys here that have built there own and can give me some direction, I too would like to build it myself.

    Anyway can email or skype me if you want:

    Hey guys
    Long time no chat

    Just getting my sim dusted off and ready. For more development
    I have 2-3 Amc controller boards lying around.
    If you guys need on let me know. I could populate the boards at extra cost
    If you don't want the hassle of building up your own

    My scale sim should be ready in the next few weeks
    I'll put up a video when it's running.

    Thanks for the replies guys :thbup:

    The more I look around and research the topic, the more I would enjoy building my own.
    So I think I may just do that. Time to start stockpiling some parts.
