    Hi all

    I do not know if this is a SimTools related problem. Sometimes one axis (1) is dropping down like driving over a pothole (Assetto Corsa). Limiting the axis helps a little bit but do not solve the issue.

    Anyone who made similar experiences?

    Regards

    Sounds like when the motor needs to move quickly, it tries to pull more power than it can get and then shuts down?
    Are you running from a battery or power supply?

    Is this under brakes Pit ? If so its the brake lock up. Ive felt variation's of it over the month's and now its a Pot hole ish feeling where the effected tire thats locking up basically "Falls through the surface" and picks back up once the locked tire is rolling again. Very strange feeling for sure.

    Before it would give a Really fast heave/Surge motion and obviously let you know something's going on. Now i FEAR locking up the brakes and falling in the hole. lol

    @Nick Moxley very interesting experience! I am falling "through" the surface only after leaving the curbs or very heavy bumps (p.ex. Spa the first S corner). For sure it has nothing to do with to much current or anything else. And it is only one side.........very misterious! :)
