    Hello guys,

    i am new to this sim racing builds and want to start building a budget one.

    İ want to go forward with actuator build but as i live in Turkey, the specs for the parts are different in terms of values.

    can you help me buy the right actuator?

    i have a racing seat already which is also built by me from metal profiles.

    thanks a lot for the help in advance

    Just to be clear, do you want to buy commercial actuators or do you want to build DIY actuators, and in either case for what style of motion rig?

    Can you sketch out and post the actual design you have in mind, plus indicate what sort of budget, then members here can have context for making suggestions. For example, the more compact a design the more torque required to drive it.

    Hello,

    this is the design (only the foundation not the console and periperhals) 4 actuator a rectangle design. I have Logitech G29 set and will only use that without modifications. I want to start with a minimum budget 100$ for actuator x4, i have all the other materials.

    cheers
