    Does anyone have a parts list and instructions for adapting wiper motor setup to a joyrider. I am smart but this is a whole new ball game for me. I don't want to waist alot of time building it if I dont understand how to make it move. Any help would be awesome. Thank you Robert

    Thanos has a nice instruction how to build a joyrider. Have a look here and search for his offline site file (about the 7th post)
    I have some Google SketchUp drawings in my project thread too (page 3).

    The easiest way to connect the game to the wiper motors via x-sim is certainly the JRKs.
    If you search in either x-simulator or x-sim forum for bsft ( ;) ) and jrk you will find plenty of information, for example this thread or this here or here or here….
    Despite the number of threads or the length of some of the threads it's really no magic :)
