    hello,

    My name is Thad. I have been a member of this sight for some time. I don't done a lot of reading off and on throughout my time as a member. I am just getting around to my first real build. I recently acquired a Quantum Q6 Edge mobility chair. I am thinking of using this for my simulator. I believe that the motors will be adequate for my simulator as the chair goes 5 miles per hour when cruising down the street. The seat also has an actuator for tilting back and another for raising the feet. Could anyone point me in the direction of anyone else who has used something similar? From all my reading it is my understanding that I should use Jrks for my actuators. Is this correct or should I use Sabertooth?
