    Hi, I decided to make a 1 dd wheelbase and 1 dual motored belt drive wheelbase.

    1. What dd wheelbase should I make?
    I thought about making simucube 1 osw with mige motor or openffboard with hoverboard motor. (Is mige 130st m10010 called 'small mige'?)
    Simucube osw(with mige) or openffboard(with hoverboard motor)? What is better?? Please tell me and post a link for motors and drivers etc..

    2. I planned to buy two my6812 for my belt drive wheel
    I have bts7960 and arduino leonardo. Now, I should buy a power supply but idk about which volts and watts should i buy?(it will give power to 2 my6812 motor)

    3. What gear ratio should i use?
    Is 1 : 8 for motor : steering wheel will be good?

    I'm a huge noob of simracing and idk what to do..

    It is generally a good idea to follow in the footsteps of others.

    There is historical information in the FAQs: https://xsimulator.net/community/faq/steering-wheels.65/

    Thanks but I already watched that. And I don't know what to make. Also, I can't find a wheelbase made with 2 my6812.
