I would like to know what the cooling system is like, as I see a completely closed box with no fins

RIt would be disappointing to know that it has the same heating and loss of strength problems as the brunner bases.

NProbably some kind of "thermal management"
Nthe marketing material is clever and dodges that question
NThe same way it dodges the question of actual gimbal materials

Kif you only need an adapter, you will need a grip set from VKB with an extension and a Virpil extension. You can save money and 3D print the clamping ring. I do not recommend making an adapter from plastic; it is not reliable. my printed adapter broke after a couple of months. CNC costs about $100
If you are interested in a complete VKB conversion for the Virpil base, then I recommend purchasing a board with USB and AUX connectors as a part from virpil support (45$) and using the AUX connector as a through connection grip to black box. Just cut off the boards road from the AUX and solder the 5pin connector for a standard connection with the Virpil cable for the grip

RI want to use this adapter permanently for my vpforce base, it is interesting because it is directly connected to the 200mm extension
Kwell everything what you will need is in the V2 archive. You can order all the parts CNC but it is expensive, the ring can be made a 3d print
RWould it be cheaper to buy a virpil extension and remove the ring?
KI left a link where I made my adapter, maybe they will make a ring cheaper than the extension from Virpel. I already had this extension and used the original clamp ring from Virpil.

587 Rhinos are shipped in total

TI'd like to order a motor kit. Is this the same time it takes to place an order as a "Motor Kit Order Request"?
Tthank you!
DI tried it at expo
DI’ve got heavily moderated on the Moza discord server, someone claimed that they could use the stick as a shifter or handbrake and I simply mentioned that it likely doesn’t have the same level of forces to simulate this then administrative staff deleted all my comments about my thoughts and opinions
DLooks like they want to maintain an echo chamber
M
WYeah, it's doable, but you're correct it won't be as hard mechanical stops. Similarly how it is with Rhino soft endstops vs limiter plate.
And it's very slimy from Moza when they attempt delete/hide all criticism

JMan sounds like simracing bros are a different breed
DAgreed, and they still show me marketing brochures, but no proof of the forces they provide, I tested at the expo and it felt half the strength if the rhino
DSo I officially asked in the correct channel for their feedback
D
DAnd this time, I took screenshots, so they dont delete them when they can’t or won’t answer
DI just want information on their product without be drowned down with marketing
DI was very upset when they deleted my comments, becuase I know rhino demoed this, but handbreak? That will require a lot of torque? Is that the right word… to stop this thing and act like a real break
DAnyway, they claim 12nm peak, but the motors look smaller than rhino and is 12nm for 1-2 seconds before it cuts out?
DAnyway, im on a fact finding mission
DYou are not supposed to ask that. Just shut up and be fed marketing BS how its the best product that was ever created by the hand of god himself
WThere's speculation, that they declared the 12nm peak as a combination of both motors , √ (9²+9²)=12,72 Nm 
DI have the rhino, so I know what I expect and so far only the rhino offers the best features for the price
DThats what I said
DWhen they said 9 initially, I was like 4.5 per motor
DDont expect an only profit driven company to be better than something solely dedicated to do one thing
DI said that to them at the expo 
DThen they said, this is only a prototype…
DThen I hear they starting to sell it soon
DImo its only like a gimmick to test the waters
DIt will je sort of ffb but not able to sustain it for longer periods and every youtub simmer will tell you how its the best thing a man ever created
H@Touch_Of_Legend Yeah, correct. They explicitly write that on their product page. It's the theoretical diagonal maximum. (minus the geometry effect of the twist of the gimbal core)
HThey still claim 9Nm peak per axis
MTrying to hide/delete comments always sucks, especially as you're only trying to offer your opinion ad feedback. Also, I didn't even consider handbrake, can't see that working
DThat’s the thing that annoys me. I want buyers to have the very best of factual information when they buy something and not be subject to marketing trickery.
DThis won’t stop me though, I will persist until I get all my answers
