    Hi,
    I'm Filip from Belgium, being simracing for a while and now i want to build a H shifter & 2DOF sim, a Playseat i already have !
    I've been checking this site for a year, so now it's time to start a project.
    Ok.... This is the rig that i want to build, as i have the Playseat, i'd like to build it as the MotionSystems H200, compact...
    Where and what for the actuators, electronics ???

    Grtz, Filip

    For compact design, if its a full frame, theres a way you can do that.
    Mounting the motors near the feet with a frame mod is the most compact and efficient way for a full frame

    However, @noorbeast ride http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dx-racer-compact-simulator.5866/page-6#post-66960 is a full frame variation of my desk racer
    We use 12v 200 watt worm gear motors, , noorbeast uses 60:1 boxes on his for extra lifting power as the motors are closer to him that my foot motor. I used 25:1.
    we both use the Pololu JRK 12v12 http://www.pololu.com/product/1393
    Just ask as you need to.
    Dave.
