Description
Conspit Ares 10 Nm Wheelbase is the kind of gear that makes you double-check your rig bolts before firing up a lap. Compact and surprisingly powerful, it delivers torque that’s clean and controllable through a dual skewed pole motor designed specifically for sim racing. The feedback feels deliberate—not just powerful, but smart—thanks to its 23-bit optical encoder and high-speed dual processors. Whether you're diving into Eau Rouge or catching a slide in a tight hairpin, this base holds the line and speaks fluently in forces.
What Sets the Conspit Ares 10 Nm Wheelbase apart?
-
Custom-Built Motor for Sim Use A lot of wheelbases use off-the-shelf servo motors that weren’t made with sim racing in mind. The Ares 10 Nm motor is purpose-built, with a dual skewed pole design that cuts down torque ripple and cogging. That means smoother rotation, especially through high-speed corners where ripple can throw off your hands. Racers mention how natural the force build-up feels, without the grain or chatter some bases in this range suffer from.
-
Dual Processors Mean Snappy Feedback This isn’t just marketing fluff—the Ares uses two asymmetric processors (170 MHz and 168 MHz) to split real-time calculations. One handles sensor input while the other processes force feedback output. This makes transitions sharper and more stable, especially when catching slides or making mid-corner corrections. Users point out that it feels more consistent during high-frequency inputs like curbing or trail braking transitions.
-
Military-Grade Slip Ring for Clean Signal Signal transmission in direct drive systems often goes overlooked, but a bad setup can cause EMI issues or weird dropout behavior. The Ares includes a 20 million RPM-rated slip ring that’s specifically designed to avoid electromagnetic interference. This contributes to clean, stable input with zero jitter across long sessions. It's the kind of thing that doesn't seem like a big deal—until you've dealt with signal noise on another setup.
-
Compact Without Sacrificing Power Despite putting out a solid 10 Nm, the Ares is remarkably compact. It’s built from aerospace-grade aluminum, weighing in at just 5.6 kg, which makes it easier to mount and integrate into rigs with limited space. The power-to-size ratio is excellent, and sim racers with small footprint cockpits appreciate how much torque they get without needing a full industrial mounting solution.

The Conspit Ares 10 Nm Wheelbase is built for Windows PC users and connects via USB 3.0, giving it broad compatibility with nearly every major sim racing title out there. It supports Conspit Link 2.0 software, which is where all configuration and tuning takes place. Mounting is straightforward with bottom and side mounting patterns, and the CDP ball-type quick release ensures a stable connection with compatible Conspit wheels. If you plan on using third-party rims, you may need an adapter depending on the bolt pattern and shaft type.
This base is not compatible with consoles, including PlayStation and Xbox systems, and there is no native mode or compatibility workaround. It's strictly built for PC simulation, supporting games like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, rFactor 2, and RaceRoom. The hardware and firmware architecture are PC-native and rely on telemetry integration that consoles just don’t support. For anyone running a dedicated PC sim rig, the Ares fits right in and brings the sort of refinement you'd expect from purpose-built gear.
