Insane Value - HN Motion V2 3DOF Motion System Full Review

HN Motion Discount code "SimNest"
HN Motion Website https://hnmotion.com.au/?ref=SimNest

A year ago, I took a leap and bought my first 3DOF motion kit — the HN Motion V1. Since then, racing without motion felt impossible. It pulled me in so deep that when HN Motion reached out about their new V2 system, I couldn’t say no.

What followed were weeks of testing, tweaking, and pushing it to the limit — from fine road feel to brutal off-road jumps that nearly shook the lunch out of me. In this video, I'll take you through the whole story: pricing, build quality, actuator deep dive (ever heard of a ball screw?), installation process, performance testing, and even the quirks like noise and 'walking'.

It’s the most detailed review I’ve ever done — probably the longest video I’ll ever make — but by the end, you’ll know exactly whether the V2 is worth it, and whether I put my money down for the kit.

Oh, and if you do decide to get one, don’t forget my discount code "SimNest" — save a bit, maybe enough for some post-race lunch money.
