2DOF Aluminium Profile Rig

Had to disassemble my rig this week to reposition the seat on the U-joint for better balance which also meant i needed to realign the motors and frame too,,, was a job that i've been meaning to do for a while though ,, All good now, while i had the frame apart i also added some checker plate to the rig ,,

I've also been stock piling a few bits and bobs to add a couple more MonsterMoto's and tidy up the controller box and electronics so it all fits neatly under the foot plate , that's the next job.

@mariano68
I added an updated Ard+MM winged deck so you can add as many monstermoto's as you like with the Arduino , i also cut the MM decks down so it will fit a MM with a zip tied heat sink,,i just glued the extra MM platforms onto the main deck for 2 monstermoto's either side of the Arduino board but you can position them where you like,,

Thought this might come in handy for one or two of you guys ,,,, it's on thingiverse here,,,,,,,,, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1746224

The first version is here if you need the ard cover http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1510217

Bit of an update ,,,, I've re-wired everything on the rig so it's much more cleaner than before allowing me to put the control box out of the way under the pedal plate ,, I also added a couple more Moto's for 60/120A peak ,,, ( Respect Mr. @Pit ) .

Thanks very much!
Really nice xbox
Could you tell me the name of the connectors you used? Are they audio plugs?

Cheers mate ,,, They are called Aviation Plugs .

Got the motor cooling fans all wired up and fitted into place today ,,,, i just need to make a nice cover for the motors now ,, plus a few other little bits and then the rig should be done

Few pics of the fitted motor fans on the rig,,,

your rig is so awesome! and i love the idea with the xbox case :-D

Cheers mate ,,

Well i finally finished the motor cover ,,,, although i'm not too keen on the silver/grey color of the top so i think that is going to change if it doesn't grow on me pretty soon,,, I also removed the wheels from the rig and replaced with chrome feet ,,so my rig doesn't move while driving now ,,,lol

3.6mm Plywood

Primer

Nicely done Steve.

Cheers Nick.

Thought i'd give a little update on my simulator ,,,,

I converted both my Fanatec rims over to USB using the bodnar board ,,, i already had one bodnar board lying around that i've had for ages so i grabbed another ,, also used aviator plugs instead of the cable gland as they just look a lot nicer,,and plus they are plug and play,,,



And bullies special prize was i fitted my new OSW to my rig,,,, damn i just love that thing,,,lol

Little eye candy for ya Steve.

Hehe that looks badass ,,,, is that one of Steve's masterpiece's

Ya, It is. Your 80-20 upright's are just begging for something like that.

Yep i might just have to look into one of those when my wallet starts to feel a bit better,,,, Steve's 80/20 rig designs are definitely the best out there.

I've done a couple of upgrades to my rig this last month ,, nothing much but i didn't like the look of the motor cover and it was really getting on my nerves so i've given it a makeover using 3mm ally checker plate ,,, damn that was some hard work cutting and filing ,,,my hands are very sore ,,,lol ,, also put a monitor skirt on for added immersion ,,, just needs a hood now,,

Anyways ,, some pics .

Cheers @noorbeast ,,, means a lot coming from a man of your skillz

Great work @stevemontuno I don't know how I have missed this thread ?? I must of been too busy messing with boundary's lol

Seriously it looks really professional you should be proud
