Simucube 2 Discussion Thread

Mounting the SQR was not a big deal at all for me. I used some additional washers for the 4 center bolts so they won’t stick out on the backside and cut the bolts with a dremel to the correct size.
The bigger issue for me is the cable length. (SC2 to power supply is way to short, cable management is nearly impossible)

I still dont know where to put my e-stop.

The problem is still there.

While I race, I can see how the center shifts, then i have to recenter it from the True Drive.

Most likely the step of de-greasing the shaft has been missed in the assembly process. This is a mistake and we are working to correct this in production.

You should remove the whole shaft coupler and de-grease the shaft and the coupler using alcohol-based cleaner, and then reassemble. Loctite is not needed for the bolts.

So this is a step every user should do? Can you recommend a specific detergent?

I feel like a beta tester and i’m nearly to give my simucube 2 Pro back and then wait for release 2.0.

I asked the same question.

It’s advised not to do anything unless you experience the problem for yourself.

As discussed when I collected my SC2, I’d like one of these Jed!

Will I lose the warranty if I remove that and can you explain how to do that?

Use the bolts in the two extra holes to push the clamp adapter apart.

and what about the warranty?

It will not void the warranty in this case.

Hello guys. Got my SC2 Pro today. I have trouble with Truedrive. It says FW Update is required but the process for doing that is not workable. Any hints to reconnect usb or power on/off didn´t help. Can somebody help me? Pictures Software see link.

omg, there is a lot of oil or grease. Should i use Ethanol or 99.9% alcohol? I do have both of them.

Either one would work fine.

Hi Martin,

Make sure that the E-stop is not pushed in. The firmware programmed at the factory has an issue and requires the e-stop to be not pushed in and the device fully started up for the “go to firmware update mode” command to work.

That was it - thanks. Got also the info for that from german forum :slight_smile:

Mine is not slipping so far (indycar18 on belle isle well into clipping would slip).

I recommend a D-Limonene cleaner - works as good if not better, non toxic.

Just an FYI for anyone interested. The XERO QRs are also being sold at Bodnar, perhaps at a slightly lower price.

You can also use paint thinner or mineral spirits. I don’t have an SC2 yet, so I’m not sure if the shaft is painted. So some of these ‘solvents’ would be harder on paint than others. Alcohol would be my last choice to remove grease.

PS… not affiliated in any way with Bodnar.
