F1 Racing Motion Simulator | DIY 2 DOF | Update V2.0

Subscribe for future updates to this rig.
The prototype of this rig was a great success, but the wooden frame had too much flex and movement. The motors were also not situated in the best position to offer the best mechanical advantage. Update V2.0 addressed these issues. The motor driver has also been updated from IBT2 to Sabertooth 2x32.

can you do a video and put the parts in the description ? id like to build one and would like a walkthrough of the rig if you could. im sure lots of people would be interested if you explained everything and how you got it to work on the pc

Do you have build plans? Or just a material list ?

[@DMAX_DIY]

Very cool Mike.. I always wanted to try and build one out of aluminum but Steel was handy so I made the thing with traction loss too. You should post some more videos buddy! DMAX motion sim ch

Hi Mikey.which VR set are u using, where do u put your camera sensor(attached to the rig or outside static?), and are u using motion compensation? ty a lot

[@mikeyearly]

I'm using a quest 2 (inside out tracking) with virtual desktop. I turn off tracking in the settings

[@ExSheriffFattyBoySkinnyArms]

Fascinating build! How do you like running with the vr goggles and how does it compare to running your setup with 1 or more screens?

[@mikeyearly]

In my opinion you can not get a better immersive experience than VR. Combined with the motion, wind, and vibration simulation it's the closest thing to real life.

[@Javi_RR_]

Bravo!

[@ivanjack8341]

amazing build, can you please give me a link for the levers you use? thank you

[@mikeyearly]

They are self designed and fabricated

[@niklasbengtsson5721]

This is so cool !

[@jonberg469]

Great job! I see a lot of people saying wiper motors are better then actuators because they gave more speed and are quiet. But it’ll looks like they can’t pick up fine road detail etc… is this true?

[@mikeyearly]

With tuning they can pick up fine road detail, but I wouldn't advise it - wasting available axis assignment. Better to use a butt kicker or bass shaker.

[@jonberg469]

@@mikeyearly I see. I have my scn6 actuators doing road surface and 4 transducers in each corner as well. The actuators seem unbothered by the extra Information.

[@stbyte]

Can this play with Xbox or it connected to PC? Or all of the projects are made for PC

[@mikeyearly]

It can work with consoles, but a low powered pc/laptop is also required to run simtools software. Ive not tested it tho.

[@unclem4626]

Would this be powerful enough to move a person in a more upright position? Ie, for flight Sim, or rally Sim etc. Or would the centre of gravity be too high? Sub'd.

[@mikeyearly]

These motors are plenty powerful enough. Mechanically the setup is the same.

[@billellameri]

Why did you change the motor's position from the front to the back ? and what's the lever's and the Tie rod's lenghts you used ?

The motors were moved for better mechanical leverage. Lever CTC is 80mm

[@sorinbalan2789]

Hello , the price for kit???

[@mikeyearly]

Not sure yet. Aiming for around the £2.5k-£3k mark. The more interest I get the larger the quantity of parts I can order which brings down the price to the consumer.

[@matthewhannon2509]

@@mikeyearly wow really?? Doesnt seem like you could compete in that price range with the new yaw2 already in preorder and the stuff dofreality has been selling for awhile now, both with more than 2 dof and significantly cheaper than that and more polished. I mean parts wise I cant see you being over 500 US (£375) another 3-3.5k US to "machine" and package it together for a kit seems a bit much. I think to get any traction a kit like that would need sell for around 1500 US (£1150)base with some options. Its a neat design, wish ya the best of luck
