    Thanks for the answers.
    I'm from Europe so it would be nice to get something in europe.
    But motion control don't send two motors anymore.

    I was looking for the canadian one but Barry how do you connect the potentiometers there?

    They are perfect and many members including myself use them, but shipping costs may be a factor for you.

    I buy mine from my local Hamilton kenny u-pull. they are called wiper motors and cost $10. and come with nice little link shafts, and I can choose from all sorts. No shipping and i get to break stuff trying to rip them out. Mine first sim were ford escort motors. I looked for something that had a big windshield.
