    Hi everyone,

    For my first 2DOF sim I was looking at wiper motors. Close to me, there are 2 Valeo 403.924 for sale. I can find the following specs:
    Rpm: 50
    Starting torque: 50nm
    Rated torque: 2nm

    My questions with this is:
    1) Is this enough to get a decent motion?
    2) How about the torque? Should I look at the starting or rated torque?
