Building a racing rig - Part2

[@TPont7089]

Great video again mate. Thanks a lot for this detailed document.

[@imagebuff]

Thanks much for all the info on the belt tensioner setup! Good stuff! - I'm FlagGhost ;-). Can't wait to try the jumper free, torque calibration method with my newer Thanos controller.

[@tronicgr]

Yeah, it's best used with torque calibration. And I always have the kill switch for it on my belt, just in case 😂

[@user-zh5fe3fm7l]

Where did you manage to get the black piece that goes between the actuators and the rig?

[@tronicgr]

@@user-zh5fe3fm7l eracing-lab made them specifically for the TR160S I got. But if you ask them they can provide appropriate mounting options for the type of rig you have.

[@user-zh5fe3fm7l]

@@tronicgr Thanks!

[@rc51boss]

will the haptics from the rs mega+ be enough or do you think you will need to add the butt kickers?

[@tronicgr]

@@rc51boss the haptics you feel from the RS mega are plenty. I was surprised to see for example the gear shift do a short heave motion motion that feels satisfying 😄 but then again this is with Simhub motion that supports mixing the haptics into the normal motion 🏁

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

How long are those DB25 cables? 1m?

[@tronicgr]

@@ryanchenoweth5673 I think only 3 feet long... you don't need these to be too long.

[@tronicgr]

@@ryanchenoweth5673 also if you are getting the eracing-lab kit, all these cables you see on the video are included !

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

Can I use your 7 output controller and 4 output controller together to control 11 actuators 🤔

[@tronicgr]

@@ryanchenoweth5673 sure, Simhub can support multiple Thanos controllers for several axis or even dual active belt tensioner etc...

[@GravideckMotionSystems]

Great build, awesome video!

[@DanneJensen]

Man the info you are giving is exactly What i need. You are really good at showing everything i want to see. Hope next video you can show What servo cabinet for a 7U. Would love to see a amazon link for it if you end up showing it.

[@tronicgr]

I just got something special delivered actually, that may be even better than these generic racks from Amazon... I'll be definitely showing it on next video 😉

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr oof sounds promising! Hope its not to expensive when i need to buy one😂

[@WoodysBedroomReviews]

Can't wait to see this as recently built the RS Mega and using a makeshift rack at the moment

[@DanneJensen]

Btw would you recommend sim racing studio software for DCS(flying)? I got simhub for racing already.

[@tronicgr]

@@DanneJensen I'd recommend DR Sim for flight (super new software from DepartedReality). Send me message on Discord to let you in the closed beta 👍

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr sorry for late reply, how do i join your discord? just got everything on the rig and working!

[@DanneJensen]

Hi again. So how do i get a hold of that extrusion (extension part) you have in the front? I really hate my p1x pro so much beacuse i cant put the front actuators more to the middle. The actuators are always liftning and rig is making creakin sound even on little tilt. I have tighten all the screw to MAX! Can you pls help me with this. 😢

[@tronicgr]

@@DanneJensen these were custom parts, provided by eracing-lab along the actuators. They do have provisions for proper mounting to any kind of rig. I choose 160mm profile one to avoid hearing any of these creaking or bending, when using it on other motion software than Simhub. Actually Simhub has the best math to ensure all 4 actuators are always in parallel plane despite what angle or heave...

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr ofc its a custom part.. damm. Gonna Ask them if they can make for me to even if it Will cost 500+ euro for shipping. Im Hating this stuff for real. I just got simhub motion full license. So if i manage to move the actuators closer Will that stop them from lifting in the air? Or is it something else?

[@tronicgr]

​@@DanneJensen if you enter correctly the dimensions of your rig and the distances etc, you should be fine.

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr hmm okay, gonna give it a go again this weekend, this has given me so much headache that i have not touch the rig in 2 months😂 if i dont get it to work i think i just sell the p1x-pro and get another profile rig

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr update:i finally fixed it,no more lifting and no more crackling sound from the rig anymore. i had to put the front actuators closer to the rear. its a pain to get in and out from the rig now but dont care now that its fixed!

[@DanneJensen]

I just checked the manual for the power cable on website manual and its not a EU Wall socket, do you get an adapter to put it in the Wall in the box or do i need to buy 1 separate?

[@tronicgr]

Pretty sure eRacing-lab will send you proper plugs according to your country, or adapters if needed, why not asking them? I received mine with US plugs, and was not expecting it to be honest! 😊

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr ah okay, i have sent them a message but they have not yet replied. Just trying to get everything else that i need as fast as possible. Have bought a 9U rack etc so all good when stuff arrives

[@xHMProductionx]

At 39:25 mark, when you pitch it forward, did you end up having to limit the travel in the Simhub software to prevent it from hitting the floor.

[@tronicgr]

No, didn't limit anything. But it never reaches limits anyway in game because of the motion cue mixing.

[@xHMProductionx]

@ thank you for the quick reply. I have tile and didn’t want to destroy it by accident.

[@rc51boss]

I not sure if you mentioned this in the video but what size G9 monitor is that and where can I get those brackets under the monitor, I have a G9 57". Thanks in advance, your videos have been extremely helpful.

[@tronicgr]

I have the Odyssey 49" www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-odyssey-49-1000r-curved-dual-qhd-240hz-1ms-freesync-g-sync-gaming-monitor-black/6425569.p?skuId=6425569 . Come over to the Discord, I can share the STL files for the clamps to 3D print there...

[@rc51boss]

@@tronicgrcould you send me a discord invite or link, thanks

[@DanneJensen]

Does the brackets you get with the rs mega+ fit a p1x pro? About to order it tomorrow.

[@tronicgr]

It should, but ask eRacing Lab to be sure. Their support is excellent!!!!

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr okay gonna Ask them. Still got no idea What to do with the server cabinet so Im gonna have the motors on the side next to the rig and wait for your video if its something Im gonna buy lol.

[@tronicgr]

@@DanneJensen they are getting ready to release servo cabinet... I already got the prototype and made a quick video about it on my Instagram (thanos-motion) instagram.com/reel/C8AhUq7SJaS/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr wow okay. How do i buy it now lol, or is it okay to have the motors on the floor for a while until i can get my hands on something?

[@DanneJensen]

@@tronicgr ahh so its there own servo cabinet they are gonna realese, damn looks good but the shipping Will be to much to pay again and tax.

[@Rezamajedi]

Can you buy the licence for Simhub motion when the beta is expired?

[@tronicgr]

Each release resets the counter currently. But yes there will be option to buy the license for motion eventually.

[@MightyMike]

καλησπέρα! Can you use it with Flying games as well? e.x. BMS, FS2020, DCS or War Thunder?

[@tronicgr]

@@MightyMike yes, but with another software, DR-SIM manager. It supports MSFS2020, DCS and IL2 so far...

[@MightyMike]

@@tronicgr if you have the time can you make a video how the actuators work and the sensation with flying? ex roll, stall, hard landing?

[@mike-pcsimracing]

for you Simhub better than SRS ?

[@tronicgr]

To be honest, I didn't try SRS yet, was so eager to try Simhub, and now I'm afraid that will be disappointed trying it. Maybe I'll stick to flight sims for SRS, so I won't know 😂 But yeah eventually I'll have to do direct comparison of both software, against same game and car etc...

[@JuicedRacingTV]

I run these actuators and controller on my stream: twitch.tv/juicedracing I regularly tell my viewers this IS THE BEST motion value by far.

[@tronicgr]

@@JuicedRacingTV hope you switched to using Simhub already... instant upgrade!! 👍
