... I recommend batteries, even in the first instance. They produce very smooth current output, even under higher draws.

If you use a power supply be sure of the voltage output, and keep an eye out for electrical roughness at higher current draws - you will feel this through the FFB system if it is there.

Hi Ian,
Yes i have read all docs and will use batteries first and then compare to power supplies, then use the best option.
Ian, i see Vectro used angle ally for mounting the motors. Do u think this would adequate hold for the motors.

Hi Les,

Yes it looks a good solution. Leave a bit of sideways adjustment at the fasteners to allow some tinkering with the belt tension and motor alignment.

I'll ask my brother to take you some closeup pics of the brackets tomorrow.

Hi OP,
Will post my attempt shortly. Just got to mount one more motor. I just had athought while i had the Carriage assembly off.
Did you consider adding screws to add extra strength to the front and back supports on both the base and Carriage assembly.
Just a bit worried the glue may let go. What are your thoughts.
Have you tested your unit yet.
