    Hi there :)
    I try to plan my first Project: 2DOF with 2 Motors behind the seat. With potential to upgrade to 3DOF (or more?).
    Here I have 3 used Motors with worm gear like wipermotors. Unfortunately with 3 different rpm :(.
    I don't want to build or use linear actors. So, I had an eye on nmrv030 gear with 24V 450W DC Motor and 60 rpm (half second per way) from aliexpress.

    What do you say? Good idea? why not and what should I plan instead?

    Thank you...

    But if I see this Video from D Max, these Motors are enough. Or?

    I would watch his other videos. The wipers motor will work but you'll need better leverage. In the video series he ends up using Crab pot motors and also used wheel chair motors. He goes through all the pros and cons of each motor.

    I am in the process of building mine, so I am no expert. I went with Jazzy Wheel Chair motors and they have no problem throwing my fat a$$ around :grin. They are very strong. Good luck.
