    A bit more design and hardware detail would be great, do you plan a seat shaker or some other design and what hardware are you planning to drive your rig?

    I plan to do a full motion(move around the whole frame. ie:wheel shifter). i plan to use a few window motors because i heard they are really powerful. and i plan to drive it with some sort of Arduino motor driver combo.

    Its not very heavy. I can puck up the frame with one hand easily. I dont want much movement either. So it should be fine. Ill take a look at the simcalc thing tomorrow. Thank you for your help.
