VNM Direct Drive Elite Wheelbase

The VNM Direct Drive Elite Wheelbase is an 18Nm direct drive base for sim racers who want strong, precise force feedback. It sits between entry-level direct drive and very high torque systems.

Why it matters

• Strong, detailed force feedback helps you control the car.
• Output stays consistent through long sessions.
• Accurate road and grip detail makes the drive feel more real.
• Front, side and bottom mounting options fit a wide range of rigs.
• You get high-end performance without stepping up to a flagship base.

Who it's for

Choose the Elite if you have outgrown an entry-level direct drive base but do not want an ultra high torque setup. It suits intermediate and advanced drivers in GT, formula and endurance racing who want more strength and clarity in the wheel. It is a good match for a serious home rig where performance and control both count.

How it works

A 5 pole pair motor and a 23 bit encoder produce smooth, accurate force feedback with very little latency. The 18Nm of torque gives a strong, controlled steering feel, so you can sense grip changes, surface detail and weight transfer. Telemetry-based force feedback works across the major sim racing titles for steadier, more realistic results. The solid build and 13.3 kg weight keep the base steady under load. Its compact, adaptable design and multiple mounting options let it fit into many different rigs.

On track

The steering feels strong but controlled, which makes it easier to manage traction and react when the car changes. 18Nm is enough to recreate realistic steering forces and still stay manageable over long sessions. Curbs, bumps and tire slip come through clearly, so you can drive consistently and with confidence. That mix of strength and control suits many racing styles and setups.
