    Hi everyone here is my very cheap rig finished, this was my first creation in this field and I wanted to thank everyone in this community for all the tips and tricks they have posted. I would never have been able to build it without everyone's help.
    I started with the design and construction of the coupling gears between the motor and the potentiometer.

    Also cut off the top and presented all the components before fastening them and connect the two parts

    Once the seat has been mounted, now remains the pedals and the console for the steering wheel and drilled a series of holes to adjust the pedal board...

    I cut 18mm diameter tubes and welded plates to create the support for the steering wheel and painted with acrylic spray.

    They asked me for the gear files I used for 3D printing, can I put them in a zip / rar file and attach them here?

    Yes you can upload a zip file directly, as long as it is not too big.

    Here are the stl files of the gears I drew, they are 16 and 32 teeth.
    I only posted the gears because the support is different for each engine.

    sorry to bother you again. I posted here because its not relevant on your another thread.
    can you share your smc3 and simtools settings? I need to do some benchmark to tuning my own setup.
    thx in advance !
