    In December 2016, I built a Tri-Motion with Hyperaxis as DIY.

    I am currently building a tri-motion system with three wiper motors 350 watts from SimuKit
    After completion, I would like to compare both systems side by side and report my driving and / or simulation impressions here.

    looks almost fantastic! BTW, from where did you buy these "wiper" motors? These are monster wipers, could be from that big thing on the picture lol :)

    @vsp19: I would also like to know where you got these motors from. Can you please provide a link?

    interested in where to get those engines made several investigations without result only found smaller motors, very interesting project I await developments

    Hi @vsp19 ! Nice project I will follow :)

    Motors are sold by https://simukit.com/
    The motors are tailo made to build motion rig but we are currently out of stock. We have an order that should be available in early March.

    20170206_133018.jpg vsp Tri-Motion

    with Gear-Engine 350 watt plus Springs from SimuKit

    With too long and too strong springs

    With these springs the motion has felt like a catapult

    the new Tri-Motion Alu Rig with 350 Watt Gear Engine and low Springs

    20170414_181439.jpg


    I created this Tri-Motion myself in aluminum

    The engines are from SimuKit

    The necessary power can only be achieved with springs

    The springs are adjusted to my design and weight

    and the Motion-Profile is optimized with PID settings

    Side by side comparison

    with my two tri-motion systems I designed

    vsp Tri-Motion with 350 watt geared motors

    versus

    vsp Tri-Motion with HyperAxis Linear Drive

    Conclusion

    side by side test

    and building experience


    The Tri-Motion with the geared motors from SimuKit
    is a cost-effective motion solution with a material insert of approx. 2.000, - € and my DIY construction time of approx. 20 hours.


    But I prefer my Tri-Motion system with the HyperAxis linear motors from Frex. This motion system has significantly more power and is significantly more sensitive.
    However, you have to reckon with a material insert of 4,000, - €.
    The DIY construction time is however significantly shorter with approx. 5 hours

    Keep SimRacing ... with Tri-Motion

    Hi Florentin,
    I see that you put the springs and that the simulator works correctly :thumbs
    I do not know if the same settings for two different simulators can be used as a comparison.
    On the other hand you made a beautiful realization with our kits, bravo! :)

    That's a fantastic video...good on you...and cheers for putting it on. I understand you focused on performance so the aspect noise wasn't brought up. I wonder if there's a difference.
    Do you need a separate room for that gear or would you think it is likely that others in the same room not involved in this would be able to cope with that?
    I don't have a smallish maybe 12sqm in mind here, it's more the question if it's possible to place that thing in whatever corner of an open plan living area or if you need to close a door behind it.

    Yes it, would be nice to see a noise comparison as well, I get the feeling that the springs alone would add quite a lot. I wonder if oil filled dampers are available that would be suitable.
