    Hello!
    Another one of my seat movers wiper motor gets really Hot after playing 5-10 minutes.
    Could it be some kind of settings thing or is the motor just bad?
    I run with 2 same type of motors. Second motor is warm after playing but not Hot like other.

    Thanks!

    Design wise wiper motors are not ideal for a compact rig, as they are not very powerful and a compact rig requires a lot of torque.

    Similarly, too long of a lever will also put unnecessary strain on a motor, as it reduces torque with length.

    Unequal balance will also affect one motor more than the other.

    That said, settings could have an impact, as could a somewhat faulty motor. Posting pictures of all your settings would help.

    Thanks for those advices!
    All I did was i shortened levers from 6cm to 4cm and changed some settings.
    Last night I played 1-2 hours and motors only get little warm,not Hot like before.
    It feels really good now!

    Hello everybody!
    What is wrong with my sim tools settings for rbr?
    Here is some photos to show.
    In assetto corsa everything works fine and I dont even have to use 50/50 settings to get enough sway and surge.
