Why Direct Drive Matters in Sim Racing
Traditional racing wheels rely on gear or belt mechanisms to transfer motor force to the steering wheel. Direct drive changes this approach by connecting the motor directly to the steering shaft, reducing the mechanical layers between the motor and driver.
More Direct Force Transfer
With fewer mechanical components between the motor and wheel, direct drive systems can transfer force signals more directly, helping create faster response and a closer connection between driver input and vehicle behavior.
More Detailed Driving Feedback
Direct drive allows racers to better recognize changes in steering weight, surface conditions, and vehicle response during different racing scenarios. The additional detail can help create a more connected sim racing experience.
PXN VD Series Technology and Performance
The PXN VD Series integrates precision motor control, high-resolution steering detection, and customizable software settings to support consistent performance across PC sim racing scenarios.
Direct Drive Servo Motor Performance
The PXN VD Series uses a low-inertia servo motor design to support quick motor response and smooth force delivery. It helps the wheel base reproduce changing steering forces with greater consistency during different racing conditions.
High-Resolution Magnetic Encoder
Each PXN VD wheel base features a high-resolution magnetic encoder for precise steering position detection. The encoder helps track wheel movement accurately, supporting stable input recognition during racing.
Flexible Software Customization
The PXN VD Series software allows racers to adjust wheelbase parameters based on personal preferences, racing styles, and game requirements. This flexibility helps users configure the feedback characteristics for different driving scenarios.
PXN VD6 bundle with steering wheel and dual pedals for racers building a complete PC sim racing setup.
Build a Complete PXN Sim Racing Setup
The PXN VD Series is designed to integrate with a broader sim racing ecosystem. Racers can combine the wheel base with compatible high performance steering wheels, racing pedals, shifters, and mounting solutions to create a complete racing configuration.
Compatible components can also be combined into sim racing bundles, allowing racers to build a more complete PXN setup with the accessories they need.
A New Direct Drive Option for PC Sim Racers
The PXN VD Series marks a new addition to PXN’s sim racing lineup, bringing direct drive wheel bases with different torque configurations to PC racers. From the VD4 to the VD10, the series provides options designed for different setup requirements and racing preferences.
With precision hardware, customizable settings, and compatibility with the wider PXN sim racing ecosystem, the VD Series gives racers more ways to build their ideal driving setup.
