    I am new to motion simulators , I 've been pricing out already built motion rigs and I must say they are very expensive ! I would like to know if someone can share a parts list (motors not actuators) for a 2DOF seat shaker . When I first signed up to these website some one had sent me a parts list . Unfortunately I reformatted my PC and lost everything. I will be adding it to my custom built wood rig . I'm a pretty good handy man so putting it together should be a bit of a challenge but I am confident that I can accomplish the build . So back to the question, I would need a detailed parts list so I can start ordering. I would also need some instruction on putting everything together . Looking thru some of the builds on this sight the only thing that"s a a little confusing is the connections of the pots. The wiring and how they connect to motors . Any way hope some one can help. Thank you.

    You should "sticky / FAQ" that parts list @noorbeast - You could go from zero to full sim in a few weeks with that list!

    A nice idea but it would likely need more context, a range of hardware options with some pros and cons related to design objectives, plus a few more supplier links that would have to be kept current.
