    Happy new year indeed!

    SimTools3 is much more convenient with everything in one place and easy access to the plugins.

    It looks like you need to do some work on the mapping. The seat looks like it is leaning instead of pitching in the rollercoaster video?

    that video was with the weaker motor it was like 2hours after i make it move for the first time and she didn't want to wait and it was christmass day so let her , and i didn't know yet that i need to use surge and sway instead of 50% Roll and 50% pitch, but now with the new motor and more knowledge in simtools and SMC 3 it works properly, i will make another video i think.

    Aaah, I wouldn't want to wait either! :D

    Hope you find another similar motor! Maybe the smaller ones are OK for traction loss.

    HI Chris, i definetly need to buy a real motor, it is working now but i didn't find nor have the time so seek for the exact other Bus wiper motor, i'm searching on aliexpress now for motor but i don't have any idea of what specification, i need to search for, i see on forum the ZYT90 is the best but i cannot order it from the australian store from where i'm leaving, so i'm checking for an equivalent on aliexpress as i know a friend who can buy and deliver it from aliexpress. I know it need to be at least 150 / 200 watt, high RPM with a 50:1 gear box so the final rpm is around 100 / 120 rpm, but when i search on aliexpress with "ZYT90 12V DC motor" this is what i showed :
    This
    So if someone could give me advice to what to search, my rig is a a "shoulder mounter 2DOF seat mover".

    I think it could, but it looks the same as cheaper options.
    Search for "120W worm gear DC motor" and see what you can find

    Don't get caught on ZYT90. 80ZYT is very common in more powerful motors.
    Sunrise motors make good motors, but the shipping is probably expensive if at all possible to Mdgskr
