Why not to buy VKB extender and canibalize it?

POr even only remove lower part of it and connect it directly to gimbal
WFor one-off project that might be ok, but that's unsustainable if you need more than one 
FTo clear things up, we'd wouldn't need the Gunfighter base, just the black box?
Wyeah
FNice
Agreetings every one
Rhell everyone, im the big chungus gimbal guy, also did the 3d printable version the wood cut box version

Rboth projects are kinda stagnant because of life/work stuff has been crazy the last 10 months
Rvid of my big gimbal when I was last working on it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D5V0-PLg0Cc
interested in the rhino as maybe a fall project so wanna track the development of it

YouTubeRight Rudder - Left Stick
Need better sensors though, these crappy hall effects get pretty low resolution with only +/-18 degrees of throw on the stick.
WHi there. Nice!

WThat chungus gimbal would very well mate with those big chungus 86BLF motors 
AWhat’s the max resistance possible with the current ffb setup?
AI was looking at building my own using hoverboard motors I’ve modified. I can push around 10nm from them but haven’t ran the calc for max force after gearing. Also not sure they will have anywhere near the response the 86blf motors will
WThe 86BLF03 does around 3.3-3.5Nm, the 86BLF04 up to around 3.8-4Nm
WI did invest lots of effort onto making these motors have very smooth open loop response: https://gfycat.com/unrulyentirebilby
AThat’s one of the big concerns I have with the hoverboard motors. I can foresee a lot of issues with them. May end up just going to the F04
WYeah these motors have a few very good properties - coils are on the outside, meaning the case makes a very good heatsink and good mounting for the driver board to cool the transistors into the motor - one nice clean package as a result :)
WBut they are coggy as hell in their natural state, but that is taken care of

Fis it really the size of the grip? 
ACurrent state of a force feedback pedal set in slow building. Using the pendicular f-14 design. Would your software work in this application or would it require modification?
WYeah I think so. The SW/FW is quite versatile.
WBut man, that looks heavy :)
AIt’s very heavy. Will be around 70 lbs when completed. I got tired of chasing my current pedal set across the floor. This sucker could be a boat anchor
OLooks like it'll help hold the pallet jack. 
GSim controls that need welding are GTG in my book!
AHalf inch steel plate don’t mess around 
WGTG - good to go?
GYes.
MWhy not make them normal weight and just mount them to something?
AAny time I post ANY THING remember the above 
AAlso in my defense. I wasn’t planning on building a full sim rig when I started this….then a friend gifted me a rig
ANow I have this monstrosity
F@nibbylot 
NThis looks interesting, I’ve been looking to get a ffb sick for awhile
F my search ended here...Fand it took more than a decade 
VDoes the sticking coming soon have a sustained force limit?. And what's it max momentary force
WThe motors do heat up at max force, but with active cooling it's not a big problem like in the Brunner. The peak force for the 'Rhino' base is around 5Nm.
VAwesome! Is it available for purchase yet? I heard a rough price of 800. I just be interested in the process of doing it. And some more information of the stick itself. I've been going through the channels here but I'm finding it hard to get a clear of it.
WYou can preorder a unit at the moment, I'm currently building a batch of 6 Rhinos. The price is 800€ for the finished base. Could you elaborate on what you mean "process of doing it"? Are you interested in the ordering process or building a joystick base yourself using a motor kit? :) I'm still working on the website, information and e-shop will be there in one place once that's taken care of :) You can freely ask any questions for more info about the Rhino base.
VOh I mean how one orders, like how long it would take for a batch to be ready and costs of shipping, I'm in AUS. I don't think I'm quite that talented yet to make my own.
VMore over about the base its self why do you think its the best on the market? What does it do compared which the others don't. How long is the warranty and will repairing it myself void it?
KIll chime in real quick. A friend just ordered motors for a base we are working on and they just came in yesterday. The software for these motors is amazing. The amount of adjustability and features is awesome. I would expect to see this come out of a huge corporation with a big budget. Great job Walmis!
