Delivery expect 4-8 business days.
NexusDrive Core 9: overview
The NexusDrive Core 9 is a 9 Nm direct drive wheel base for racers who take their performance seriously.
A high-performance 18-slot/16-pole servo motor and a 21-bit magnetic encoder deliver ultra-smooth, highly detailed force feedback, refined by the latest algorithm with enhanced dynamic effects.
An aviation-grade aluminium housing keeps it light and tough, intelligent temperature control with active cooling keeps it consistent, and an industrial slip ring powers wheels with no cable to twist.

Building a sim racing or flight setup
Base, rim and pedals. In a modular setup the wheel base holds the force feedback motor, the rim clips on with a quick release and the pedals connect to the base or by USB. Rims and pedals must suit your base, and the base decides which platforms are supported.
Direct drive. Direct drive bases attach the rim straight to the motor for the most detailed and strongest feedback. They need a rigid cockpit or a strong desk mount.
Load cell pedals. A load cell brake measures pressure, not travel, like a real car. It is the single upgrade that improves lap-time consistency the most.
Setup and use
- Bolt the base to a rig or fit the table clamp.
- Fit a NexusWheel.
- Connect power, pedals and USB.
- Tune force feedback in the configuration software for PC and the mobile app.
Care and maintenance
Keep the vents clear; update the firmware regularly.
