Mine us still in transit i wonder how hot it gets I'm considering to mount it below my armchair and it will be closed box ...
TI've seen mine hit 50c, but it's fine. I've asked Walmis twice and he assured me its all good. Far from the limit and for our uses, shouldn't hit the limit.
Fiirc 70 or 80 is closer to the limit so you're fine
Rcurious
BIt might start loosing strength (gradually) at 70-80c, but actually harmful heat is even higher.
Rwhen ordering a rhino is there only 1 motor you choose from
Ror does it let you pick which ones, for more or less strength etc
BThe rhino is a completed unit, you only get to choose options like throw limiters and adapters.
BThe various motors are for diy kits
Rah i see
Rlooks like it has 11lbs at the base
Rof force
BThe rhino itself is using two of the 'weaker' motor kits, but its far far from weak
RI was wondering if its possible to mod it at least up to 20 or even 30lbs at the base
BThe bigger ones are for differing use cases, for example for pedals you can use a larger motor cause your legs are stronger.
BBetter to start with a diy kit at that point as you likely snap any of the 3d printed parts.
Ryeah diy is too much cobbling with no tools
RGuess I'll be stuck with the weak motors
BI so far have not found anything missing, it is the strongest stick ive ever owned.
Rwell when all the others are just springed...
BIndeed, its a bit like comparing bicycle with suped up 4x4 off roaders.
RCould the bigger motors fit into the rhino box well enough anyways
BDoubt it
R11lbs at the base. So it'll probably be only like 6 at the grip
BDepends on extension, but I haven't measured.
RI seek 20lbs at the grip 
Awhat grip are going to use?
Rt50
BIt'll snap
Aat that kind of power you're going to need to start thinking about grips and grip attachments
Rdamn
Athose are designed for far lower loads
Fsome have modded it but not stock
Ffor what reason exactly?
Rwarbirds
FI have largest motors but triple the extension so about the same force at the stick, and its more than enough for me
AI don't know if they will just snap outright or not, but I suggest you figure that out before making a super strong base
R20lb pull was standard at the grip
Athe virpil base isn't especially strong so that stick is intended for maybe a fifth of that pull at most, depends on how much extra strength they built in but it very well might not be 5x
BHalf that is plenty good for a sim, the biggest draw isnt for how heavy it is, but everything in between.
Its got great dynamics.
Its got great dynamics.
Ajust by touching my stick(s) I would probably be at least a little concerned about the durability at 20lbs
Rhmm alright
Rwas wondering how within the realm of possibility it was
BIt might not be immediate but fatiguing is a thing.
One of those realsim resin grips might do better but I'm not even sure those are made for 20lbs
One of those realsim resin grips might do better but I'm not even sure those are made for 20lbs
BIts an engineering questions, but I'd start directly with diy and hope you have access to a cnc mill
Ri do not
BAnd a ww2 planes doesnt require 36 button inputs.
AI don't want to shoot your dreams down since I'd like 20lbs myself, but I think there are quite a few potential issues to consider if you want to be successful
Rwell it was worth asking i suppose
BSo a diy fully metal grip wouldn't be to impossible.
