    So excited.
    i have just ordered a simucube and 30nm MiGE 130ST-M15015 10000 ppr encoder with Iono pro HC 25 so should be here buy wednesday.
    also ordered a momo mod 30 wheel.
    i haven't got a button box or paddles yet so will hve to use my shifter.
    I shall report if anyone is interested.
    I was going down the Leo Bodnar route which was extortionate, but after some info from @Nick Moxley i have sorted this.
    I cant wait. hopefully the rig can take it

    @stevemontuno let me know what you think of it mate.
    i may have an issue on my rig with weight however. i didnt realise i bought a large Mige and not a small. the bloody thing weighs 14.4kg without the wheel. i think my t500rs only weighs about 5kg. I need to lose a stone and half for my rig to perform the same, thats if it doesn't shake to pieces.
    The other problem i have is, i have ordered a pedal adapter from ricmotech and its not here yet and my pedals are not compatible im led to believe. I might try and butcher an RJ45 cable if i can find a wiring diagram and buy a connector so i can plug straight into the simucube until it arrives.

    You got a full frame mover, right? It will also change your COG badly

    @Blame73 I have a full frame mover but not like most with the cv joint. Mine is based on 5 actuators. 1 does traction loss and the other 4 are in each corner capable of 100kg each lift so shouldnt be too bad. i more worried about it shaking apart lol.

    Will do mate ,,i don't think i'll have it set up till mid week anyways as i need to sort out mounting it to my 45/90 ally profile while at the same time trying to do a clean swap without the missus noticing ,,, :D
    it's sat in a depot in Leeds at the moment waiting to get processed so it should be working it's way over to me in the next 24 hours ,,,

    It would be nice if Tomo had a diagram of his mige mount measurements on his site but i can't see one.

    I was worried about the large Mige as there were reviews saying it wouldn't get enough power so it wouldn't run properly, but after looking into it that was before they released the Ioni pro HC which has the extra power and i have the meanwell 480/720w so should be good.
    I have spent a fair bit of time looking into it and one of the videos showed 6 people testing, and 5 out of the 6 prefered the OSW to the Bodnar. Im Glad @Nick Moxley mentioned it or i would of just got the bodnar and been skint. The Mrs would of killed me too as the kitchen splashbacks would of been put on hold.
    Im going to knock up a few button boxes for different wheels at work on the plasma once i have one in my hands to copy
