This rim mod replaces the standard rim of the NexusWheel Starter X with a 12-inch round rim.
Who it’s for: Starter X owners:
This rim mod replaces the standard rim of the NexusWheel Starter X with a 12-inch round rim.
A full round rim gives a natural grip for rally, drift and road cars, where you turn the wheel hand over hand.
Buttons, paddles and rev lights stay on the wheel centre, so nothing is lost.
Starter X owners:
Different disciplines.
Buttons, paddles, lights.
A few screws.
Wheels: NexusWheel Starter X and the starter wheels of the NexusDrive Core 4, 5 and 6 sets.
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.
Check fixings occasionally.
