    So I'm a noobie...andI have an old race car cockpit that I planning on making my sim(dirt latemodel). Im going to cut bars out and try to lighten it up as much as possible, but in figuring its going to weigh around 90kg (200lb) without a driver in it. I want to make it 2dof with traction loss. I plan on mounting a type of drive shaft swivel under it at the center of gravity.. My question is what type of motion should I look into that can move that type of weight plus a 250 lb driver. And of course what to you think would be my cheapest route...Any info would be greatly appreciated..Thank You
