    It looks to me as though the fundamentals of your rig are working fine, it just needs some tweaking of settings and perhaps balance, the latter may reduce the backlash a little.

    Hi guys! I have Problems with the setup. Sometimess one motor is nervous. This weekend I show one video and my setup. I Moded the chasis. I think the problems ser for the potencciometers. What other options I have to know the positivo of my motors? What potencciometers are good to the sim? I have two encoders. Can I use the encoders with the Arduino and SCM3? Maybe @yobuddy or @noorbeast knows about the encoders. I share one picture. IMG_20210212_213928_973.jpg IMG_20210311_210122_189.jpg

    Yes the Arduino wiring is the same.

    360 will work, but as you are only using a fraction of that range at some resolution cost.

But I have problems. I configure tunning center, Game engine and SCM3 and sometimes the motor start to tremble and I need clóse Game manager and restart SCM3 to get the motor to be quiet. Sometimes also the motors start to turn crazy and need restart SCM3. I need help. I try to much posibilities and configurations in SCM3 and simtools but i dont Found a solution.
