Emergency Stop Switch for Direct Drive Wheel Bases & Flight Bases – Instant Torque Cut

Emergency stop switch: overview

This emergency stop switch cuts the torque of your direct drive or force feedback base instantly with one press.

Strong bases can snap the wheel hard if a game glitches or you lose grip; the E-stop gives you, and anyone near the rig, an immediate off.

It plugs into the dedicated E-stop port of NexusDrive Core and NexusFlight bases.

Who the emergency stop switch is for

Every direct drive owner:

• Strong bases (12 Nm and up)
• Families with children near the rig
• Commercial simulators

Choosing and building a sim rig

Rigidity first. A cockpit exists so the force your wheel base produces goes into your hands, not into a flexing frame. Direct drive bases need a stiff front mount; aluminium profile rigs (40 mm and 80 mm extrusion with 8 mm slots) are the stiffest and most adjustable, while steel tube rigs are lighter and quicker to assemble.

Driving position. GT position puts you upright with the pedals low; formula position reclines the seat and raises the pedals. Check whether the cockpit, seat bracket and pedal mount allow the position you want.

Plan the extras. Monitor stands, shifter and handbrake mounts, keyboard trays and PC shelves bolt onto most profile rigs. Planning them up front avoids drilling or re-assembling later.

Setup and use

1. Plug the switch into the base's E-stop port.
2. Place it within easy reach.
3. Twist to release after use.

Care and maintenance

Check fixings occasionally.
