PXN VD6 Steering Wheelbase

The Balance Point of PXN's Direct Drive Lineup

The PXN VD6 Steering Wheelbase sits deliberately between the entry-level VD4 and the high-torque VD10, and for many sim racers, that middle position turns out to be exactly where the lineup feels most complete. With 6Nm of constant torque, a custom-built servo motor, and PXN's Sense+ force feedback algorithm, the VD6 delivers a noticeably more refined experience than the step below it, for a comparatively modest price increase.

• 6Nm constant torque, 7Nm peak – custom 20-pole low-inertia direct drive servo motor with segmented stator core to reduce torque ripple
• 24-bit magnetic encoder – high-precision positional tracking for detailed, accurate force feedback
• Sense+ force feedback algorithm – simulates tyre grip loss, road texture, suspension compression, and kerb vibrations with realistic physics
• Aluminium alloy housing with passive cooling – heat dissipated through the housing itself, with no active cooling required, plus an aviation-grade conductive slip ring

Where the lineup clicks into place: Going from the VD4 to the VD6 brings a disproportionately large jump in responsiveness and communication for a relatively small price increase, to the point where many sim racers consider the VD6 the standout option in the entire range.

Smooth by design, not just by spec: The 20-pole motor design and segmented stator core work together specifically to reduce torque ripple and cogging, the small mechanical irregularities that can make a wheel feel notchy rather than smooth, particularly noticeable during slow, precise inputs like parking or low-speed cornering.

Configured your way, every session: Through PXN SimRacing software, you can fine-tune force feedback settings, power output curves, and damping, with one-click presets available for popular racing titles, plus the ability to save and load your own custom profiles.
