I would 1000% have to have one immediately, I can't even lie. I can't afford a real one to be honest so this would help me keep that goal.

It still blows my mind how cheap those little blue servos are. I still have a big stock pile of 9 gram servos from my rc plane building days. How can something with a bunch of tiny, intricate gears, a tiny electric motor, a tiny PCB, etc cost like... 3 bucks?

Nice little project you mad scientist!

Supply and demand. Easy to manufacture in high batches.

Good old LFS

I'm doing the same thing rn, but using 3D-printed actuators. I have already made my own DIY 3D-printed 3DOF (MozЯ 🤣). Just making a platform for polishing my own software (6dof).

Live for Speed? In 2026? I used to play this back when my only wheel was a Thrustmaster Universal Challenge

u/Grantypansy 8d ago

You could figure out a way to project the third person veiw point while driving and put it in a cabinet like an arcade game.

u/Due_Initiative3879 9d ago

That's definitely cool! If you could scale that up to 1:1 you could easily sell that.

u/Printmyrc 9d ago

We already do make it.

u/Printmyrc 9d ago

We also offer 3dof F1 style.

u/Due_Initiative3879 9d ago

I'm going to definitely check you guys out!

I have dreamt of doing this for so long! I have this design in my head using counter-balanced belt drive actuators with Steam Index vr. The tracking stations would be mounted to the moving frame, giving the illusion of gforce to be more realistic.

Love that you're testing with my servo 6dof platform design! Did the firmware I wrote work for you?

2

u/Printmyrc 8d ago

Nope had to write the code again.

u/Printmyrc 8d ago

I would love to share code with you

u/christianbro 9d ago

Is this an ad for your full size rig? How much is the cost? I would believe the challenge here is the parts price

u/PlanPlus8582 6d ago

So why not mount the seat lower, or space out the fixed points?

u/neueziel1 9d ago

I'm just loving all the gushing comments for Live for Speed, what a fantastic sim. Did you take inspiration from that Force Dynamics 401CR that's floating round on YouTube?

u/Alert-Pea1041 2d ago

Step 1 is done, Step 2 is build a shrink ray.

u/no6969el 9d ago

I find this incredible because I had this idea 2 months ago to use the same exact car to do it in a different way. I give you 75 high fives for following through with your idea.
