What is a direct drive racing wheel?
A direct drive wheel connects the motor directly to the wheel, offering stronger, faster, and more detailed force feedback than gear or belt systems by avoiding torque loss from mechanical parts.
What is torque in a racing wheel?
Torque is the motor’s rotational force, measured in N·m. The force you feel = torque × gear ratio ÷ wheel diameter. For example, the PXN VD10 outputs 10 N·m ÷ 0.33 m = 30 N, or about 3 kg of force at the wheel.
What motor type is used in direct drive wheels?
Most use brushless motors. High-end models use servo motors, which offer better precision, stability, and torque response. All PXN VD series bases use servo motors for smoother and more accurate force feedback.
Is the quick-release system compatible with other brands’ systems?
Mechanically, the VD series 6-ball quick-release is compatible with other brands. However, the electrical connectors differ, and improper use can cause damage. So, only mechanical parts are interchangeable.
Which racing wheel base should I choose?
Choose a gaming steering wheel base based on your needs:
VD4 Base suits casual or street cars (low torque).
VD6 Base fits competitive racing (6–7Nm torque).
VD10 Base offers strong torque for most racing cars and better feedback detail.
