    Hi guys. I am slowly piecing together a 2dof platform rig for my rseat. Will this motor do the job? I am planning on getting a left and right version. I will be using 2 jrks. Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your answer! Will I need to make any modifications to them or should they be good to go from the outset? Ive read alot on people tearing theirs apart and reversing the directions and such. Just trying to wrap my head around this stuff and make sure I am understanding it all. Thanks for everyone's help.

    wipers are notorious for tearing themselves up over time.
    The bigger worm gear motor gearboxes are stronger and as long as you dont try to lift or push too much weight, they will be fine. The only time I have seen these gearboxes fail is of a bad design sim with bad motor placement.
    I used to run wipers on my sims in the beginning and then introduced the big worm gear motors and have successfully run them for more than 3 years.
