    It can be run a lot higher, a few of us run them about 30 amps continuous with 40-45 amp spikes all day no problem. Yes use heat sink and fan. The peak recommended current is exactly that, recommended. Pololu have been amazed with what we do with them.

    Hello, bsft. :)

    Thanks for the advised to me.

    Sorry, I am mistaken, that is 35A and 300W DC Motor and If I take 60:1 ratios gear and running on 50rpm.

    torque is 300Kgf-cm.

    or 250W 28A and torque is about 28Nm and 60:1 ratios gear and running on 50rpm.

    however, 35 amp is no problems, and 300W is better choice, when I continues working on that great~

    look for 200 watt motors, because they are overdriven , the 300-350 watt motors are too big for JRKS to run.
    So theoretically a 200 watt motor gets pushed to 500 watt spikes which is 41 amps.
    so then a 300 watt motor will be pushed to 750 watts, 62.5 amps, too high for JRK
    If you want to use such large motors, look into arduino and h-bridges, and as I dont use ards, I dont know.
    Otherwise source smaller motors.
    If a 200 watt motor shoulder mount at rear seat mover can move 135 kg with 25:1 boxes, then there should be no problem.

    Hello, bsft.

    Thanks again.

    so, 200w is fine for jrk 12v12 to running. :)

    but as you know that I don't think of the seat mover.

    What I want to the platform. belows :





    3dof, but I known that is difficult to make it.

    because, noorbeast, said to me in the past, heave is not to so easy. :D

    @hunijjang, very short but very true explanation:

    motion platform => flight sim
    seat mover => race sim

    As a racer you need very (and I mean really very) fast turns to get the best immersion. A plane is sluggish, a car not. A plane (sim) needs a wider moving radius, a car (sim) need short but fast moves.

    3dof complicated and expensive. Start with 2dof first

    You will need 24v or highef to get lift. Calculated spring underneath . Expensive
    Full frame 2dof balanced with screens static easy. Done that at least 4 times

    Hello, @Pit Thanks for the tip. :)

    Yes, so I will want to be make by motion platform. :D

    Thanks.

    @bsft Hello, Thanks again. :)

    yes, there need to the calculated of center of gravity.

    also, likes Universal Joint with Spring, under the platform.

    perhaphs, as you know that is(3dof) impossible making by me. :D

    yes, I think so about... but I will try it and If I failed then try again, When It is done and working very well.:grin

    is the builder of this sim on this forum ?

    it looks pretty neat - would love to know more about its spec
