    Hey guys!
    I have been working with all kinds of strategies for getting the steering on my motorcycle rig feeling right. Recently I switched from my diy force feedback controller to using two big rc servos and I really like the solid feel it gives not being able to backdrive the motor easily.

    This makes me want to try and build a fast linear actuator instead of the rc servos, which have some backlash and are quite noisy.
    I am very new to this though. What would you suggest regarding motor size and ball screw? DC, stepper or bldc?
    The servos I use now are two 60 kg/cm cheapos and they do fine speed and torque wise.
