NexusDrive Elite Sport – 17 Nm Direct Drive Wheel Base, 22-Bit Encoder, Wireless Wheel Support

NexusDrive Elite Sport: overview

The NexusDrive Elite Sport is a 17 Nm direct drive wheel base with some of the most detailed, realistic force feedback available, from a brushless motor tuned for ultra-low torque ripple.

Ultra-low latency lets you feel a slide and catch it sooner, while a 22-bit absolute encoder, torque reconstruction and natural damping, inertia and friction filters keep the feel clean and precise.

Efficient electronics mean no noisy fan, a wireless receiver is built in for wireless wheels, and the precision quick release makes wheel changes easy. It works with all major PC racing titles, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2 and Automobilista 2.

Who the nexusDrive Elite Sport is for

Serious sim racers:

• Drivers moving up to direct drive

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

1. Front-mount the base to your rig.
2. Fit a wheel with the wheel-side quick release.
3. Connect power, the stop button and USB.
4. Install the configuration software and pick a game profile.

Care and maintenance

Keep the vents clear and the quick release clean; update the firmware from time to time.
