Know before you buy
The Ares 20 is built for serious enthusiasts and competitive sim racers who require high-fidelity force feedback. Its 20Nm output provides the strength and nuance necessary for advanced setups, making it a significant step up from entry-level or mid-range belt-driven systems.
A 20Nm peak torque allows for a wide dynamic range, meaning you can feel subtle track surface details without losing the heavy resistance required for high-downforce cornering. This level of power ensures the wheelbase doesn't clip or lose detail during intense maneuvers.
Unlike belt or gear-driven bases, the Ares 20 direct drive system has fewer moving parts, which minimizes mechanical wear over time. It is essentially maintenance-free, though you should ensure your rig is rigid enough to handle the high torque forces without flexing.
The wheelbase features a standard mounting pattern compatible with most high-end aluminum profile rigs and dedicated sim racing cockpits. Because of the 20Nm of torque, we recommend mounting it to a sturdy, non-flexing rig to ensure you feel the feedback in the wheel rather than the chassis.
Direct drive technology eliminates the latency and friction associated with belts or pulleys by connecting the motor shaft directly to the steering wheel. This results in near-instantaneous force feedback, allowing you to catch slides and react to track irregularities much faster.
