Know before you buy
The wheelbase is designed for universal integration, featuring dedicated mounting points for front, side, and bottom configurations. This allows it to fit into almost any existing sim racing rig setup without requiring custom adapters.
The high-resolution 23-bit encoder captures incredibly subtle steering inputs, resulting in smoother force feedback and more precise control. This level of detail helps you feel the car's grip and road surface textures more accurately than lower-resolution alternatives.
25 Nm provides a professional-grade level of force that can replicate the heavy steering loads of high-downforce cars. While it offers immense power, the software allows you to dial the torque down, making it equally capable for casual driving or lighter formula-style cars.
The EMC Stop Button is a critical safety feature that allows you to instantly cut power to the motor in the event of an emergency. Given the high torque output of the unit, it is recommended to keep this button within easy reach while racing.
No, this wheelbase is exclusively compatible with PC platforms. It is designed to interface directly with major PC-based sim racing titles to ensure the lowest possible latency and maximum fidelity.
This feature uses real-time telemetry data from supported games to provide more nuanced physical feedback, such as vibrations or specific chassis movements. It adds an extra layer of immersion by translating digital car data into tactile sensations through the wheel.
