s2 s3 V2 prototype

After months of planning, design and testing we are pleased to announce the production of the version 2 s2 and s3. Here's a video of the prototype setup being tested with Dirt Rally 2
The production version will look almost identical to the original ones but the mechanism has been completely redesigned. Version 1 had rotating arms mounted axially to the motors like a wiper motor setup. This worked well but when powered off the weight would drop the arms.
Version 2 has a linear motor setup but rather than being mounted vertically, they are horizontal with a cantilever turning it into vertical motion. This means they can be enclosed in the same way as version 1 rather than having to be mounted to a cockpit.
Version 2 retains our unique stability mechanism (not visible in the video) so it can only pitch and roll in a controlled manner. Without it the top would wobble about like a jelly!
Any new orders from now on will be using the new version 2

congratulation for that prototype looks really nice

Hi, I'm glad you like it. You can see the finished production version in these videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/d56wfGeNiN1maMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJWVaWOdbKeYaJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4a1c3iNd7eohZI

Will we see a price drop for v1? I want to go all in, but I'm surprised how little social media presence Symdeck has. For context, I spent years racing on PC but moved to console because I got sick and tired of how many points of failure Windows PCs have (IT guy talking). I love that Symdeck is bringing quality motion products in a modular fashion to console, it's brilliant.

Hi Albert, V1 is no longer in production and V2 is actually cheaper! It looks like you found us on Instagram and we are also on Facebook but do you mean by other people? We've had a recent review by a customer here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpzHoIt8hq-MnrM

Thanks for that, do you guys ship to the US? Also, what is the weight capacity? I'm on an Rseat S1 roughly 250lbs, and I'm debating whether or not to use the Symdeck chassis.@@symdeckracingsimulators

[@symdeckracingsimulators]

@@albert.escobar31 Yes we ship to the US. I assume the weight of your S1 includes the wheel, screen etc. as the listed weight is 121lbs? Our lowest capacity products, s2/s3 can carry 220kg (480lbs). The others can carry more as they are designed to go underneath either of those two. If you email me with your preferences and an address I can give you a price including shipping, thanks.

Here's the Codemasters F1 head man testing it! twitter.com/TheLeeMather/status/1497566820139687936

Would the spec be exactly the same? Max load of 250kg and max heave of 30mm? Will u guys ever release one with more heave? U guys have the lowest in the market. Even lower than dbox which eveybody complains about the lack of height, especially for rally

[@symdeckracingsimulators]

Hi, yes the specs are the same but I think you misunderstand the travel capabilities. Max heave without pitch/roll is +/- 55mm (110mm). When we add some pitch and roll at 5 degrees each then it leaves 30mm of travel for heave which feels like plenty in use. You are though free to adjust the ratio of each if you want more heave. Also note the spacing of the actuators affects the pitch and roll not just the total travel.

[@ccmiata]

@@symdeckracingsimulators I always got confused of the difference between 55mm vs 30mm. Now it makes sense. Yup, I understood the max pitch/roll angle is determined by the distance between them. If u want to mimic suspension like Vesaro does then u have limited angle unless u go with 6” actuator.

[@symdeckracingsimulators]

@@ccmiata I'm glad I've explained it better, sorry for the confusion. You can go to 6" if you wish with theirs but apart from the cost, look at the spacing of the actuators. They are about 700mm centres side to side and 1200mm front to back so I would suggest ours actually has greater combined pitch, roll and heave motion. The feeling is far greater than the angles/travel capabilities suggest.
