    Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the last year did not go so well for me,
    so I still could not buy good engines. But I would like to do a few more tests
    with the SMC3. Is it possible to change the used pins in the SMC3?

    Hello everyone, it took a while, but now I want to start upgrading my Sim.
    But before I get started I have two questions.

    First one is:
    In your opinion, which is better, a self-locking worm gear or a non-self-locking?

    Second one is:
    I´ve searched the web for hours but it is very hard to find a seller in Germany,
    where you can purchase usable motors.
    Is there someone here from germany who has found a seller in germany?
