Know before you buy
The 32Nm motor provides professional-grade torque, offering a very high ceiling for force feedback. It is designed for users who want intense, realistic resistance that can replicate the heavy steering forces found in high-downforce race cars.
The 23-bit resolution provides extremely granular input tracking, meaning the wheelbase registers even the smallest steering adjustments with high precision. This results in smoother transitions and better feedback when catching slides or navigating tight corners.
No, the VNM Simulation Direct Drive Xtreme is designed exclusively for PC use via USB. It is optimized for Windows-based sim racing titles.
Yes, the integrated MCU allows for fully customizable force feedback. You can fine-tune the settings to match your specific driving style or the requirements of different racing simulators.
The unit includes a desk clamp for mounting, though given the high 32Nm torque output, we strongly recommend a sturdy, dedicated sim racing rig to ensure stability and safety during intense sessions.
The package comes with the VNM Direct Drive Xtreme unit, a power adapter, an EMC stop button for safety, and both USB A to B and USB A to C cables for PC connectivity.
