Conspit Ares Apex Direct Drive Wheelbase
Description
The Conspit Ares Apex is Conspit's entry into accessible direct drive, delivering smooth, detailed force feedback in a compact aluminum package. A purpose-built skew-pole direct-drive motor produces 8Nm of torque, paired with a 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder that captures every steering input with precision, while asymmetric dual processors (170MHz + 168MHz) keep feedback calculations fast and stable. Includes the Conspit CDR quick release (base side) for tool-free wheel swaps, side and bottom mounting options, and a free USB-C expansion port. Tuned for GT, Formula, and rally driving on PC via Conspit Link 2.0 software with pro driver presets.
