Which is the best Direct Drive motor? Simucube developers will find out

Hi Beano,

That sounds AWESOME!
Getting the overall speed lower is something I always wished we could do.
I will end up with an ultimate. I will let you crash test dummies work out the bugs first! :slight_smile:

No film of the Giant falling on the ice this trip to see the boys in Finland? LOL

Talk soon,
Joe

Can’t remember out of my head, I think it would be good idea to add this info into product specs among other things asked here. They’re on our backlog :slight_smile:

Beano is right, there will be new filters to fine-tune speeds to user preferences. Filters will be somewhat experimental at start, and their characteristics will be fine-tuned based on user’s feedback.

Will we be able to adjust speed on all 3 SC2 models?
It would be very good if we can. It makes things safer when in nasty accidents.

At least slew rate limit is adjustable for all models.

I have done experiments with a filter that reduces torque as function of speed. Testing continues, it probably won’t make it in the first software version.

That sounds interesting.
I would suggest that the default (shipped from factory) should be set to lower speeds. The end user can speed it up to their feel.

The default settings will be somewhat conservative/safe. There’s also new “safe torque mode” that must be deactivated before full power is output.

That sounds good.
We will now have many more people buying wheels that have no clue on setup etc.

We are also planning to do a “easy settings” mode, that hides all detailed settings by default, but of course leaving user access to the details as we know our users love fine tuning too.

Very good thinking!
If only there was a way to have an installer program that would change the windows USB and power settings.
Hopefully iRacing default app.ini file will eventually allow DD wheel use without edit.

Beano mode!
What his settings would be. Just for comparison sake:smirk:

Actually they pretty much have that if you do a new install as David Tucker made changes to almost everything including the Bumpstop Degrees.

will the motors tests and comparisons never be published someday??

It would be nice to see this data and why GD came to the conclusions they did.

I assume these tests led to the 3 motor choices that we currently have in the form of Simucube 2 but the lack of information after all the initial hype is deafening.

Any update on when we might get to see this awesome data? :slight_smile:

We’re swamped production ramp-up of SC2, so finishing the report will have to wait for some time. However, as a summary I can say that the comparison winner motors have been selected for SC2, but the popular 130 mm Mige motors are certainly not bad either!

To tell you the truth i am interested if with this comparison you have some valuable data for the most commonly used servos for the simucube1. Maybe drc settings that could also improve even if little our simucube1 experience.

Any updates on this?

Hopefully we see someday.

I would like to see it even if the SC2 motors are not included. Or just don’t name the source of SC2 motors?

Hello.

I have in the shot a SanMotion (Sanyo Denki) Q2 (Q2AA13150HXSOOM) unit. something similar (new models) is included in the comparsion?

if anyone have it. can share the the thoughts about it? is a waste of money? (375€ with RS1A05AA driver included) greetings

greetings
