    Here is a video of the handbrake it seams to be very hard to pull, so i will try to add a soft skateboard bushing.

    Great looking rig! You far away from making a video of the motion? :thumbs

    I was planning on upgrading my monitors to 3D monitors.

    My advice would be to steer clear of 3D monitors, you simply won't get the refresh you needs from the screens and also, because the games are not true 3D, you are relying on the TV to convert the image (if at all possible) IMHO, a waste of money. Wait for Rift CV1 to drop in price :)

    Sounds like a good advice, i thing the frame rate will be the deal killer.

    Once a again thanks

    the Flu got to me so I was down for few days but I am back, i have a question have any of you have build a 4 DOF ?

    i may build one and sell that one i have now see scratch drawing:

    Is that a four motor design?
    At the four cornenrs?
    What dofs are you planing to implement?
    1.Pitch
    2.Roll
    3.Heave
    And(?)

    Edit:
    or is it a :
    Pitch,roll,sway,surge,heave design(3dofs emulating three movements and two forces3+2=5).

    Yes! 4 motors, Surge, pitch, Roll and Heave. Just like the VESARO but using Motors instead. Is that posoble?

    It sure is possible.it can even be done with three motors(triangle position) instead of four.
    It's a 3 dof platform (pitch-roll-heave)... that can also trick the brain to perceive surge and sway effects.
    like a 2dof design (seat mover) like the one you built can "do" pitch and roll + trick the brain for sway,surge and heave.

    It may not be as responsive as a seat mover.
    I think if you wait for more answers lots of guys will elaborate on that.

    This is a 4dof(pitch,roll,yaw,heave)...emulating also sway and surge.

    So seat movers are better because of the resolution on motion?

    All things being equal, yes that is normally the case, due to the extra inertia of a full motion rig, but with a bit of though in design, I can contest that you can build a full frame that actually has better resolution than most seat-movers (well my previous one anyway :think).

    Wow! I am glad i brought it here for discution, it looks like based on the leaner speed and force calculations the motor has to be very big and have lots of torque, i decited to stay with my seat mover.

    Thank you guys.
