Thanks for the extra detail to the answers. The wrap looks great! Once it's tuned up and balanced it will move as fast as if it actually is carbon fiber. Probably. :D A possible purpose for a 360 degree sensors would be if a car's scissor jack could move fast enough to simulate heave. To count off like +30 to -30 turns type thing, right? Would you want to though, lol. If you still have those faster 18:1 motors that might be a fun rainy day experiment. Have a good one!
Thanks for watching and I'm sure it will be fine.. but Man I really want to take that 40 pounds off - The carbon seat and frame should be about 8 pounds so once I redesign it (with carbon - btw it's pretty pricey) it's going to be lighter so LESS inertial force = quicker performance.. So the Scissor jack analysis: Kind of the same as the guys who build their own actuators. the motor spins fwd or rev a long shaft which move the platform up or down.. Lot of guys on x sim doing that.. But you need better than 18:1 from what I've read.. Thanks again my friend! Dave
Agreed! I just wish I had a bit more time to practice.. but we have GPL coming up.. DId about 40 laps last saturday! should be competitive! See ya there my friend! Dave
Very nice comment B! Probably not.. it's just a sticker - I'm not going full on with a MAC 00 pinstripe brush and One Shot paint like I used to do .. Stay tuned! DMAX
Thanks for taking a look my friend! Yeah it's pretty neat to be able to do this.. Hopefully answer some questions and hopefully i make some sense.. Your too cool my friend! Dave
I like faster Motors. Hey can I hook my 12 volt to 120 Volt. Wow that would make them go 10 times faster... that might work. I'll let you do it first ;O)
Nice job on the wrap Dave looks very nice 👍 if you want any custom decals made I have a plotter feel free to reach out and I can make you some if you'd like. Appreciate everything you do for the Sim racing community. I've started sourcing parts for my seat belt tensioner build and am going to use some small servo motors with a arm attached to pull on each strap. Gonna try to make a video on it like you suggested. I also found a sick diy manual shifter build with an E Clutch so it won't let you shift unless you press in the clutch that uses mostly 3D printed parts.
RicheyB.. You gotta have your own channel my friend! I will subscribe!! Those are some great topics to cover in video ( I just use my phone for video ).. I'm not sure what motors some of the guys use as seat belt tensioners on x sim.. but I know there are some guys who DIY them too.. Just info.. Also the E clutch thing is great.. I have to stop my self from thinking about these things or I will get very side tracked .. hahah.. What does the plotter do? I wanted to make some black (or vinyl carbon) lettering along the big green stripe.. But was thinking about just reverse printing the text and then cutting it out with an exacto.. (which is more difficult than you might think).. Make a channel or send me your channel link my friend! Dave
@@JayRDucer Yeah.. I just asked him if he has a ch.. maybe he might see the benefit to the community.. It's a bit of a challenge but a big help to others.. Glad you read his comment and asked him.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY I definitely will make one soon! I'm in the process of getting my own printer so I can stop asking my friend to print for me non stop 😅 then I'll be posting some content on cool mods even thinking about making a 100% DIY rig to show people that they can build everything they need to Sim race with a 200$ 3D printer and some determination and little bit of skill. A plotter is a tool to cut custom stickers and decals. I've used it for a long time to spice up my old track cars.
@@RicheyBLS Very cool.. Hey so if you want to get started on the channel and need to 'capture' screen images on your computer or whatever, I am using OBS studio.. It's free and it works fine for me.. 30FPS. has a Utube setting too. I'm interested in the printer too. I bet you will get some eyes on your videos for sure.. It may take a little while but helping the community is an epic journey. well worth the time. Question on the plotter - so I still have to cut out the 'shapes' or letters right? It just prints on the material ? IDK .. (waiting for your video apparently .. 🕣 Thanks Dave
@@Thatslowcts Good question.. X simulator says 10 k.. or the 180 degree hall effect sensors. When I was working on my first rig, I had both 10K wire wound ones and I ordered 2 of the hall effect sensors.. I tried the 10K and they worked, but since x sim said that they could be susceptible to EMF I just wired up the Hall Effect sensors.. I know there were a couple guys who had to modify the code for the arduino to accommodate the extra resistance. I would try out your 15K.. and just see if it works.. Let me know.. I have the wiring video coming up next week hopefully.. Dave
@@DMAX_DIY ok thanks for the help hopefully you get that wiring vid out soon bc planningto build a 2 dof rig soon anyway I have a different question what power supply do you use?? Thanks for your time
Regarding the airflow, you should push the air into the heat source and pull the air from the top (because the heat rises)
agreed.. blow the air on to the surface.. then let it escape.. Yeah.. Just answering some questions on while I can. Thanks Luis! Dave

Old school cool 😎 Excited to see those pinstripes! Maybe a tutorial 👍

Nice Vid D! enjoying these Road rages more and more, looking forward to the next. PS: "The Wiring Thing" sounds like a awesome title to me ;-)

Awesome!
Thanks for watching my friend and your comment. More comin up.. Hope you have time to take a look. Dave
Looks awesome Dave
Thanks! I always wanted to try it.. Turns out it's not too bad of a learning curve.. Keep pluggin away my friend! Dave

No.. NO .. DO not TEST ME!! but maybe sometime later this year I'll sacrifice a motor and see how much smoke comes out..
Have a fire extinguisher handy 😂

Nice Video, like always. you put a lot of effort into the cut. i like that very much. the topic anyway. :D
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.. It keeps me plugged in and posting.. Hope for more soon.. Wiring next.. Check in if you have time Dave
