Thanks for another great video Dave and congrats to Luca! The tools package is sweet. These just show me how much work goes into building a motion rig.
Ok.. so YT never "advised' me you replied.. First of all thanks for watching my show. Yes it does take a bit of sweat equity of build one or two or five of these things.. but the result is the same.. That's what I'm trying to show guys.. Make it yourself.. either that or pull out that card and pay way way too much.. my rig is costs a tenth of what the big guys charge and if their rig brakes, you need to send it in.. instead of understanding how to 'fix it' if it breaks yourself.. And the good news is that it has only broke two times in 3 years of hard driving.. Thanks Sir Spats for taking a look at the video .. DMAX Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO , I have a folding DIY static rig, but after looking at your project, I started ordering parts for 2DOF+TL rig. Allmost went and ordered wiper motors, but wanted crab pot pullers, and at last minute found a new way and ordered 3x Toyota Corolla power steering motors. Thanks for the great how to series.
@@DMAX_DIY Thanks for your reply, motors should arrive today, then my electronic parts are only missing potentiometers and power supply. 😋 Looking forward to seeing your rig in action too!
My boyfriend is obsessed with your videos. He has a steering wheel, shifter and pedals from Fanatec. Now he ordered a welding machine, he seems to be following in your footsteps. So I said I'll surprise him and maybe I'll win.Thank you
Well Paula! I hope he comments 'SIMTOOLS PRO' in the comment section.. That way he can be entered into the next give -away. Yeah.. If he get's a motion sim working (thousands of people have BTW). he will be on happy camper.. My channel is all about that stuff.. And I race my 'sim' every weekend.. for the last 4 years so.. They work.. it's a great way to "not buy a race car" too.. hahah Dave
Awesome CM! your in the drawing tomorrow night! hope you win.. Yeah.. 2 DOF.. once it starts moving you will really want 3DOF! That's what happened to me my friend! Good luck.. hope you win.. Dave
your in the drawing Justin! Best of luck! very nice comment and thanks.. Just thought i would post up a few videos of the rig in action and nice to have a little channel !
Kyle! your in the drawing tomorrow night! Yah it's so cool to get your rig up and running.. you wont even want to go back to a static rig.. It's fantastic! good Luck Kyle! Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO, Thanks for all your work Dave. I've just started down the SIM rabbit hole and I blame you for a lot... No rig yet, but your videos are helping me plan something so much better than it would have been. Cheers from Oz
"simtools Pro" Hello Dave. I have been putting my rig together for about a month. It is a 2 DOF rig. At first I tried to use wiper motors they where not even strong enough to move the chair. So I scraped that idea and went with the wheelchair motors. I finally got it done yesterday and plugged it all in and had everything working properly and one of the motors went a little crazy and smashed a few wires and now my Arduino no longer works. Anyway I appreciate all you have shown me through all your videos. Keep up the good work!! Maybe I'll see you on the track soon.
Scott, your in the next drawing.. hope you win.. yeah the wiper motors are really not a good comparison against commercial motors.. i did test them as best I could but if your going to moving 180 pounds around .. you need some torque and power.. Hope you win my friend! Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO. I have a 2DOF seat mover. I am planning to upgrade it into a compact 3 DOF rig, similar to what you're making in these series. Thanks for the videos.
Deimantas! your IN the drawing tomorrow! Hope you win! Oh.. man.. adding TL to your setup would be a game changer.. I cant do without it.. good luck my friend! Dave
Thanks for the inspiration and guidance! Have a beer on me. Glad you got the frame entry fixed. I am at the point of software tuning and boy is it a chore. There is a lot of flex on the middle frame pivot point though so I am adding reinforcement there. *sim tools pro*
Ok .. so the first few times.. YT somehow made my comment 'vanish' .. So I will keep it brief.. Thanks so much for the SUperthanks! Your in the next drawing.. tomorrow.. for sure.. I had to purchase the Pro version myself.. just to get the 'screens and seaflow' blowers to work.. good luck my friend.. Hope you win.. also you could email me at max.motion.simulator@gmail.com if you still have flex issues.. I've had a few too.. maybe I can help out.. maybe not.. IDK.. Dave
Your IN Richard! Fantastic! yeah.. just cherry pick what you need.. all the basics are there.. I'm going to go through the wiring and SMC3 and Simtools on the next series.. so stay tuned.. hope you win! Dave
simtols pro, thank you dave with your works I hope this channel can be successful and develop..I'm from a country far from you, my country is Indonesia
Thanks Michele! Your in the drawing for tomorrow night.. good luck! I appreciate your kind words.. I'm just trying to show the 'grey areas' that may confuse or confound people.. but good news is "IT ALL WORKS" !! Good to hear your working with your son too.. that's important.. I did the same with my son.. even though he was 28 years old.. We sat together and 'figured' it out.. ( well that was before I decided to make some videos about it) hahah.. Best of luck my friend! Dave
Your IN Nick! Awesome.. yeah it should be a BEAST! at least it looks the part so far.. Drawing tomorrow night so Good Luck hope computer chooses you! Dave
Simtools Pro! have side by side rigs that are not motion me and my daughter race on. planning one building some motion rigs after watching how well yours have turned out! keep up the solid work.
Simtools Pro, as a continuation to my comment on last video where I said that I was making my own steering wheel, I have recieved a new motor and a few parts that will make a big difference in wheel. In my part of the world the winter holidays are just around the corner and they will be the perfect time to spend on making my own rig. Thank you for making these videos, they are very helpful and are motivating me to keep on working
Hello StdoProjects.. your in the drawing for Simtools pro give away #2 for 2023.. good luck and hope you win.. Yeah it's hard to describe how much a motion sim helps with the immersion.. Hope you win and keep pluggin away at your dream.. I've built like 5 of these things.. everyone is better than the next.. Thanks for your awesome comments my friend! Dave
@@DMAX_DIY Thank you, you are making it possible to even consider making such a rig. I couldn't find any well made videos surrounding this topic and you are the only one, as far I as know.
your in the drawing now, good luck! i should be having an IBT video coming up pretty soon.. but first want to go over the wiring as it can be a bit messy unless you plan ahead.. hope you win! Dave
your in the drawing now my friend! best of luck! really want to try some of that aluminum profile this year myself.. weight is the key to the top frame hahah Dave
Hey Manny! your in the next drawing.. Hope to have a bit more 'content' for the next video now that I'm not 'down with the sickeness' anymore.. hahah Dave
Oh yeah Darrell.. Now I have six of these things too.. Just gotta make some time to 'attempt' the build.. Hope it works.. - well you and me are both in the same boat so .. Fingers crossed.. BTW your in the next drawing! Dave
thanks Dave for sharing your knowledge, your project and giving us the opportunity to get simtools pro again, as you progress with the project I am attentive to the corrections that arise. I want to see how I can give an adjustable angle to my steering wheel.
SIMTOOLS PRO I'm looking on using my phone or tablet as a dashboard, and maybe design the steering wheel in a way that I can fit my phone on it, I also got other projects not related to sim racing (like an edrum kit) so this will surely go slowly, but hopefully I can make something fun to use! Greetings from Chile!!
Your in the next drewing Gesp .. yeah the Pro version will help out with tablets or phones.. I've not tried it yet cause I'm in VR 100percent but If I went with screens like WILL Ford I would do it.. Good luck and hope you win.. Drawing is tomorrow night ! Dave
SimToolsPro...Happy New Year Dave. I think I should reinforce the base of the Fanatec engine a little more, in 2022 I bought a DirectDrive, although it oscillated a lot and I had to put 2 reinforcing iron bars in my cockpit, it's good to think and draw the design, although we all ended up trying and modifying... a greeting.
Your in the drawing my friend! yeah.. I get it.. the DD wheel should be awesome once the force it applied to the frame without dampening.. Thats exactly what I'm trying to do in the new build.. 100percent force with no damping.. Still modifying myself.. next video should be good.. hope you win my friend! Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO Gratz to @Luca! @dmax Thanks for not shying away from showing us your trial and error. Not only is it nice to see that even someone who has amassed a lot of experience building can and does still make mistakes but it is also helpful to see your thought process work out improving your design. For me it is really interesting to see how you go about it. Hopefully it will mean that Ill have a few extra tricks in my tool bag when I build! Keep up the great work, and thank!
Simtools pro!, my rig is going to be 40x80 alu extract profile on top for str, got a simucube 2 pro and run high power, 15nm. Middel layer and lower layer will be 30x30mm steel profile. Its going to be a 3 dof for now. Going to make a another 3dof version with sway and surge instead of tilting the rig just to see how it feels. On the way to build my own pedals just for fun. Have it all motors and electronics home just need to find the time to do it :) As allways awesome video man.
Your in the drawing my friend! good luck! i'm putting the drawing on video 10 so should be out tomorrow hopefully! simucube 2 is one wicked wheelbase from what I hear from everyone who has one!
Oh yeah.. Thanks for taking a look at the 'setup' yeah.. I'm in.. Your the best David!! I think I sent my email to you but if i did not.. it is max.motion.simulator@gmail.com.. I'll give you my phone # on the email.. Your doing some awesome stuff by interviewing these GOATS.. err Legends.. Fantastic stuff.. Dave
Wow Dave down 5 days! I guess I missed that episode. Covid or flu? Glad to see you better. I'll also say hello to Racerxtc as well. I have to get to gitten have several things to do before the sprint race today. Oh and I'll say congrats to Luca for winning the first drawing!
Thanks George! Glad to see we are on the 'air side' of the earth for now.. Also.. Steve is one heck of a guy! Good fellow.. Yeah.. Luca has an awesome rig.. going to try and show it off in the next video.. Thanks for watching buddy! Stay well.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY Oh man sounds great would love to see his rig! Yeah Steve mentioned about sending soemething for you to take a look at. Take care till next time.
SIMTOOLS PRO Last time I told you about my future plans for a rig but this time I’ll let you know I’m currently using a night stand to hold my wheel as it’s lower than my desk so it makes it feel more like a car than a truck lol. It definitely looks goofy but it works
Well Nicholas, your in the drawing.. Hope you win! Yeah we all gotta start somewhere.. me too.. I had the desk setup.. which was fine.. It was what I was used to and what I liked.. till I found VR.. then "POOF" the world changed.. Now with motion? unreal.. err.. semi real.. cant go back now.. wish you good luck in the drawing tomorrow night.. working on the video for it right now.. Dave
Thanks Cris.. your in the next drawing.. It takes a while to build cause I only have a few hrs on the weekend to 'race' or build, or video.. but it's a BEAST! should be good! hope you win my friend! Dave
Hey Dan.. your in the next drawing. Yeah.. it's a bit of a project to get it all done.. But man o man.. I've been driving the V1 rig for like 3 years and could not be happier ** except maybe with a 6 DOF** hahah. Keep cool buddy! Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO , thanks for your videos, they are really helpful. I don't have a rig right now (i've just gota fanatec kit), but i have the plan to build one.
Your in the next drawing ZSoundD Tracks.. (I could probably use some sound tracks.. hahah) anyway.. Hope you win my friend! good Luck.. Fanatec stuff has never let me down so far.. Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO Didnt win this time but hey im still watching. I like your redesign so you can get in much better. I was thinking about that too a angle grinder is a mans best friend. thanks again
agreeed.. angle grinders are great! your in the drawing my friend! Im running it in about 10 min and posting it on video 10 should be out by friday night ! best of luck! Dave
Simtools pro Great videos, i am still in the stage of researching a 3 DOF sim rig similar to what you are building with the traction loss. Hopefully i will end up building a 8020 aluminum F1 sim rig.
Hello Kr2silva, unfortunately that give-a-way has ended. but I have some more planned for an upcoming video so stay tuned. I also want to make an F1 style rig.. So far all I have done is GT style.. and yes I want to use aluminum profile too. Probably a few months away as I am still building out the Compact motion sim you just watched.. Dave
Curious. Why put the long tie rods on the front and not just longer levers and shorter tie rods near the pedals? Is it just the amount of movement with the long tie rods?
Great question.. but easy answer is leverage.. The motors I have a tested for the last 4 years. They are strong but I used mechanical advantage to help them. I can possibly move the motors closer to the bottom of the frame but I dont know if they will handle it very well. I will do some ampere tests once I get this compact sim built. but for now just want to get my 'idea' working.. It may fail.. IDK. but with the levers and attachment points in the place I want them, high up, it will probably be fine.. It's experimental - so this video series is experimental too.. Stay tuned if your can.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY thanks for the quick reply and makes sense. I’ve seen similar builds with wiper motors near the bottom of the seat and think these beefy motors you use would be perfect for it. Subscribed and truly enjoy your builds. Might move forward with your inspiration and experiment myself.
Simtools Pro. Hi Mr. D, I'm planning to build a motion sim but I still don't know how many degrees(3Dof vs 4Dof). In your opinion what would you recommend to enjoy Simracing? What do you think about using wiper motors(24V) in the project? And what's the most important thing we should see when buying the motors? Thanks
Hey Ricardo.. Good question.. I would say that 2 DOF (full frame) is awesome. but 3 DOF *adding traction loss* is the next step above .. So the motors.. I would actually spend the $100 bucks each for good motors.. Like I use here.. 12 volt Crab pot motors.. they are 50:1 ratio which means better torque and control.. If you have more questions just feel free to ask.. No problem my friend! Dave
Well Steadman, your in the next drawing.. Thanks for all you comments etc.. good luck.. hope to get this thing running soon! just takes a bit of time.. Dave
I bought a Forney Easyweld 261 from Amazon as a starter and it does everything one wants. I am following Dave along with his build and mine built thread is on xsimulator as well.
your in the drawing RicheyB! good luck! yeah.. the one I got was the titanium flux core.. seems to work pretty well on the thin metals, although i still burn through from time to time.. it's been running for 3 years now and i use it all the time. however, it is not as good as a lot of more expensive ones.. i did get the 2 year warantee, which expired a year ago now.. so fingers crossed again hahah!
Hey man love what your doing. I ordered an uno r3 but it looks different. I'll send a pic. Will it work do you know. Also going send you a pic of the rig I already built myself. I got 3 jazzy 12-24vdc motors ( pretty massive motors) anyways you will be probably hearing from me in the future ..
I was rootin for you.. but.. Well, your in the next drawing my friend.. maybe I can give away a couple more next video.. we will see how it goes.. Good luck and thanks for watching.. Dave
Well, that's quite the 'name'.. I've seen a few good ones too.. Your in the drawing for the next give away.. Thanks for watching.. lot of stuff on my channel too.. Dave

Last time I told you about my future plans for a rig but this time I’ll let you know I’m currently using a night stand to hold my wheel as it’s lower than my desk so it makes it feel more like a car than a truck lol. It definitely looks goofy but it works
Well Nicholas, your in the drawing.. Hope you win! Yeah we all gotta start somewhere.. me too.. I had the desk setup.. which was fine.. It was what I was used to and what I liked.. till I found VR.. then "POOF" the world changed.. Now with motion? unreal.. err.. semi real.. cant go back now.. wish you good luck in the drawing tomorrow night.. working on the video for it right now.. Dave
Simtools pro! Don't worry Dave, we trust you to finish the project no matter how long it takes!
Thanks Cris.. your in the next drawing.. It takes a while to build cause I only have a few hrs on the weekend to 'race' or build, or video.. but it's a BEAST! should be good! hope you win my friend! Dave

Simtools Pro.
I have Simxperience direct drive on a homemade rig (think cut table and re-purposed pallet). It gets the job done!
Hey Dan.. your in the next drawing. Yeah.. it's a bit of a project to get it all done.. But man o man.. I've been driving the V1 rig for like 3 years and could not be happier ** except maybe with a 6 DOF** hahah. Keep cool buddy! Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO! Good luck with your project!
your in the drawing my friend! thanks and hope that you win! dave
Great t shirt!
Hahah! Thanks BRO! Yeah.. quite Special.. Dave

Great videos, i am still in the stage of researching a 3 DOF sim rig similar to what you are building with the traction loss. Hopefully i will end up building a 8020 aluminum F1 sim rig.
Hello Kr2silva, unfortunately that give-a-way has ended. but I have some more planned for an upcoming video so stay tuned. I also want to make an F1 style rig.. So far all I have done is GT style.. and yes I want to use aluminum profile too. Probably a few months away as I am still building out the Compact motion sim you just watched.. Dave
Another great video
MEGA comment my friend! Thanks for watching! The 'struggle' is real.. and epic.. hahaha See you on the discord! Dave
Sim tools pro, cheers
Ok Sam.. Your in the drawing.. Even though you did not tell me about your 'rig'.. hahah Good luck
@@DMAX_DIY sorry I don’t have one yet, hopefully that will change after watching your vid 🤙
Is it possible to to build the frame from wood?
Curious. Why put the long tie rods on the front and not just longer levers and shorter tie rods near the pedals? Is it just the amount of movement with the long tie rods?
Great question.. but easy answer is leverage.. The motors I have a tested for the last 4 years. They are strong but I used mechanical advantage to help them. I can possibly move the motors closer to the bottom of the frame but I dont know if they will handle it very well. I will do some ampere tests once I get this compact sim built. but for now just want to get my 'idea' working.. It may fail.. IDK. but with the levers and attachment points in the place I want them, high up, it will probably be fine.. It's experimental - so this video series is experimental too.. Stay tuned if your can.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY thanks for the quick reply and makes sense. I’ve seen similar builds with wiper motors near the bottom of the seat and think these beefy motors you use would be perfect for it. Subscribed and truly enjoy your builds. Might move forward with your inspiration and experiment myself.

Hi Mr. D,
I'm planning to build a motion sim but I still don't know how many degrees(3Dof vs 4Dof).
In your opinion what would you recommend to enjoy Simracing?
What do you think about using wiper motors(24V) in the project? And what's the most important thing we should see when buying the motors?
Thanks
Hey Ricardo.. Good question.. I would say that 2 DOF (full frame) is awesome. but 3 DOF *adding traction loss* is the next step above .. So the motors.. I would actually spend the $100 bucks each for good motors.. Like I use here.. 12 volt Crab pot motors.. they are 50:1 ratio which means better torque and control.. If you have more questions just feel free to ask.. No problem my friend! Dave
Grats Luca!
Agreed Rebar77! Yeah he's one lucky guy.. Well heck, thanks to you for watching my show.. I appreciate it my friend! Dave

Well Steadman, your in the next drawing.. Thanks for all you comments etc.. good luck.. hope to get this thing running soon! just takes a bit of time.. Dave
SIMTOOLS PRO, wish me luck 😉
your in the drawing now! good luck and hope you win! Dave
Simtools Pro fingers crossed I'll get it this time. Do you have a good entry level welder you'd recommend? Do you still like your harbor freight one ?
I bought a Forney Easyweld 261 from Amazon as a starter and it does everything one wants. I am following Dave along with his build and mine built thread is on xsimulator as well.
your in the drawing RicheyB! good luck! yeah.. the one I got was the titanium flux core.. seems to work pretty well on the thin metals, although i still burn through from time to time.. it's been running for 3 years now and i use it all the time. however, it is not as good as a lot of more expensive ones.. i did get the 2 year warantee, which expired a year ago now.. so fingers crossed again hahah!
SIMTOOLS PRO , good luck
Your in the next drawing my friend.. Thanks for watching.. Hope this info helps out.. Dave
