    I just got back from Atlanta, GA were I purchased allot of VR TOYS!!! and the first mod will be to turn a 6 Person 6DOF Roller Coaster VR simulator into a multi purpose platform.

    I was able to purchase all this VR simulator motion equipment for pennies on the dollar. All the big piece are 220v and pretty big but I have an empty 30' x 30' workshop everything is going in.

    Check out the not so great video I made at the place of purchase to get an idea of what all I bought. Sorry about the quality but the electricity was off in the building and I was in a rush to make the video because I had allot of break down and packing to do in order to get on the road.



    Below is two pics of the truck with lift gate I rented to haul everything from Atlanta, GA to Penacola, FL

    This what the original Chinese Roller Coaster ride look like before I made changes. This platform can handle a weight capacity of 800KG.

    These are the changes I've made so far. The purpose of this configuration is to allow me to be able to offer Roller Coaster and other similar style rides to family and friend but with a profile changes using FlyPT Mover I can switch to Racing/Flight 6DOF simulation.

    The platform uses DORNA M1 AC Servo Drive and Dorna Servo Motor and I've already consulted with and purchased one of Thanos AMC-AASD15A.

    So what do you think, I'm open to any feedback as to avoid any bumps down the road. This is my first time doing something like this so please let me know if there is anything I should consider since I'm making this up as I go.

    I see you have already consulted with @Thanos and ordered a controller, that is a great start and I am interested to see where the rest of the customization goes.
