    Hi All,

    I'm contemplating a 2dof seat shaker compact bsft/noorbeast/other style, but building a separate platform only, NOT connected to the main rig for ease of portability and modular function. Curious if anyone has forum links here for people that have done something like this. Using searching returns all traction loss builds, and "platforms" that are actually connected to the main rig (unless I'm misunderstanding). I'd like to be able to pick up my 2dof and plop it on top of the traction loss platform and go. Thank you

    3DOF, DC motor, JRK
    I have toyed with a similar idea, just have a TL frame that my existing 3DOF just drops into, it certainly is doable, and would not restrict how portable my compact sim is, I have just been too caught up with other projects to do any thing about it. My eldest son is into drifting, so I really should make some time for an update like that before he next visits.
