The Podium Wheel Base DD2 provides the ultimate force feedback experience with up to 25 Nm torque. Now with QR2, you can feel even more performance and fidelity from the motor.

Podium wheel bases use an outrunner-type motor engineered from the ground-up specifically for sim racing. Instead of using a random industrial motor, our custom motors are tailored without compromise for sim racing. Outstanding acceleration, ultra-low cogging, and exceptional holding torque performance results in a driving experience unlike any other.

Features

  • Custom-designed servo motor designed by our engineers and the first direct drive motor optimized for racing simulator applications.
  • Outrunner-type motor achieves outstanding peak torque of 25Nm, matching the torque output in most real race cars using power steering.
  • Motor acceleration and speed remains at the highest level, even with heavy steering wheels.
  • Ultra-low torque ripple ensures minimal mechanical distractions and the same smooth experience as in a belt driven wheel.
  • Wireless QR technology: Wireless transfer of data (infra-red) and power (inductive coupling) between the motor and quick release means no external cables between wheel base and steering wheel, and no need for batteries inside the wheel.
  • Rotation: 2520 degrees (electronically limited, adjustable).
  • Integrated 2.7” 256x64 resolution OLED display for Tuning Menu, real-time motor and force feedback data, and Intelligent Telemetry Mode (FanaLabsoftware required).
  • Standard Tuning Menu allows beginners to get started quickly without having to worry about settings
  • Advanced Tuning Menu allows enthusiasts to fine-tune the force feedback characteristics to suit their driving preferences
  • Support for advanced dual clutch bite-point mode
  • Integrated electronics within wheel base housing, no external control box required.
  • The integrated electronics and highest quality components ensure ultra-low latency, providing immediate feedback from racing simulators.
  • Fully certified with CE, FCC, C-Tick, ROHS and all other certificates required by law, ensuring that this product does not interfere with other electronic devices.
  • Torque Key allows user to lock/unlock the DD2’s full performance.
  • All existing and upcoming Fanatec peripherals fully supported. Choose from a growing selection of Fanatec steering wheels in many different styles and price/quality levels.
  • Killswitch allows instant shut down of the DD2 in the event of an emergency. It also features a remote power button, and universal mounting points for ease of access.
  • Firmware can be updated with new features
  • Fast 1000 Hz USB update rate
  • Allows connection of two external shifters (e.g. H-pattern and sequential) in parallel
  • Mount for ClubSport Static Shifter Paddles and other optional accessories • Connection ports for peripheral devices: USB, Power, Pedals, Shifter 1, Shifter 2, Handbrake
  • All-Aluminum housing
  • Exchangeable carbon fiber cover plates.
  • Supports Fanatec 3-hole mounting pattern (bottom mounting) and side mounting. Hard mounting to a cockpit is highly recommended due the high amount of torque.
  • Full Fanatec SDK support ensures game compatibility out of the box for all major racing games across all platforms.
  • Combines with FanaLab software for PC.
    • Connect external devices to network for displaying telemetry data like speed, lap times, brake temperatures, tachometers and more.
    • Support for major PC racing simulators
    • Control your Upgraded Fanatec Tuning Menu settings and presets directly from the software.
    • Save game-specific settings to PC software, which will be applied when the game is launched.
    • New FFB tuning features, e.g. speed-sensitive dampening.
  • Motorsport grade QR2 Base-Side (Type-M) preinstalled.
