    Hello everyone, I don't know if you can help me, but I'm putting this out there just in case

    For about a year now, I've had a Pro Simu chassis with 2 SCN5 100mm actuators and a ball joint at the rear. It dates back to 2017 and works perfectly, although it's noisy. It runs on Simtool 3. I'm handy and moved the ball joint to the front to gain more movement range, but it's not enough for me, so I would like to replace the two actuators to get more travel, ideally with 200mm ones for flight simulation and especially Epic Roller Coaster (VR).

    I was thinking of going with 90ST-M04025 (2500rpm, 4Nm), but my stepson is making me doubt. He recommends going with slower actuators, around 1000rpm, but with much more torque, around 10Nm. What do you think?

    Quotation for the shopping list I was planning to get from the manufacturer :
