    Hello,

    sorry guys i am really interested in building a full motion racing simulator like this one:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDm2-7IK ... re=related

    However I have absolutely no idea where to start? I am a complete noob. I mean I know you need a racing frame, seats and some sort of steering wheel such as the Logitech G27 but what sort of motors, whether it be hydraulics or “wiper motots’ – I did not even know this was possible, to move the seat?

    Please help me and explain this to me like im five year old.

    Please be nice – my first post.

    Thank you,
    Merc

    Dig through the threads and have a look at the projects of the members here, you may find a build you may like to design off.
