This formula rim mod transforms the NexusWheel Starter X into a 280 mm formula-style wheel.
It is made of aviation-grade aluminium with ergonomic rubber grips for precise, responsive control in single-seaters.
The wheel's buttons, paddles and lights stay in place.
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.
