    Il va falloir qu'on regarde ça de plus près pour te trouver des moteurs pas trop cher

    We'll have to look at that more closely to find you some not too expensive engines

    even if you don't drive with your hand under your seat, your friends, your children, your cat, your dog... may put a "finger" in the chain ;)

    Tu pourra par la suite installer un cache chaine ou faire un petit corffrage, c'est compréhensible que tu veuille d'abord qu'il soit fonctionnel avant de t'attarder sur ça ;)

    You can later install a chain cache or make a small corffrage , it's understandable that you want it to be functional first before you dwell on it ;)

    Super le frein à main :) Tu va utiliser une manette pour l'émuler ?

    Super handbrake :) You will use a joystick to emulate ?

    Congratulations @alexis67, it is a moment of excitement and relief when you first get your sim moving. Then comes plenty of tweaking and refinement of motions profiles.

    The back of your sim is moving off the floor at times, which you may want to have a look at.

    In your design the pivot point is low and I am guessing there is a great deal of load on the engines when your weight and that of the peripherals is anywhere forward of perpendicular.

    Being a full frame it is important you ensure the COG is correct, including yourself and peripherals, and the pivot point should be as close to the seat base as possible. That way the COG only moves slightly around the pivot point, compared to how it is now where the distance from the pivot to the seat is a lever pushing the COG well out from the perpendicular.

    One other thing you can do is to make it a shoulder mount.
    Motors will work with less stress .My thoughts is that you have to do it if you move pivot point close to the seat base
