Know before you buy
The 18Nm output provides significantly more headroom, allowing for a wider dynamic range of force feedback without clipping. This extra torque is essential for feeling subtle tire slip and road textures that lower-powered bases often mask.
While the base is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Simagic ecosystem, you can use third-party wheels if you have the appropriate quick-release adapter. However, using Simagic-native wheels ensures full software compatibility and plug-and-play functionality.
The active cooling system is designed to be unobtrusive, even during intense sessions. It effectively manages heat to prevent performance fade, ensuring the motor remains consistent without requiring loud, distracting fans.
The unit is highly versatile, supporting side, front, and bottom mounting configurations. This flexibility allows it to fit into almost any standard aluminum profile rig or professional sim racing cockpit.
SimPro Manager allows you to fine-tune force feedback settings, including damping, friction, and inertia. You can save these as individual profiles, enabling you to switch between different car setups or racing disciplines instantly.
Yes, the combination of a high-precision 21-bit encoder and an active cooling system makes it ideal for endurance racing. It is built to maintain consistent force feedback output over long periods without overheating or losing fidelity.
