A Technical Deep Dive Into Rigidity, Torque Handling & Real Sim-Racing Engineering High-torque Direct Drive (DD) wheels have changed the sim racing world. What used to be niche — 10Nm, 12Nm, even 15–20Nm torque systems — is now the standard for anyone who wants realistic force feedback and true immersion. But with high torque comes […]
By the CAMMUS Team — helping racers choose the right gear for real performance Introduction If you’re stepping into the world of sim racing, finding the best wheel under $500 can feel overwhelming. With so many options from big brands — belt-driven to direct-drive systems — the real challenge is choosing a setup that gives immersive […]
In this guide, we’ll dive into what a direct-drive wheel is, explore the real benefits it brings, address whether you should buy a direct drive now, and highlight how the CAMMUS C5 Direct Drive Wheel delivers value for this upgrade. What is a Direct Drive Wheel? At its essence, a direct drive wheel connects the motor directly to the […]
Simple, straight-to-the point guide for sim racers thinking about braking upgrades. If you’re looking to take your sim racing performance to the next level, you’ve probably come across the term load-cell pedals. But what exactly are they — and why do so many sim racers call them a game-changer when it comes to braking precision and […]

Entry-level vs high-end SIM gear: CAMMUS C5 (5 Nm) vs C12 (12 Nm). Specs, pros/cons, budgets, desk vs rig use, upgrade paths—clear answers for new sim racers. Who this guide is for (and why you should read it) If you’re just getting into sim racing and you’re debating your first direct-drive wheel, this guide compares […]
Sim racers often hear about encoder “bits” like they’re horsepower ratings: more bits = higher precision, right? The debate rages on: does a wheelbase with an 18-bit encoder (about 262,144 counts per revolution) actually feel better than one with 12-bit (4,096 counts) out on track? Let’s break it down. In simple terms, 12-bit means 2^12 = […]
There was a time when sim racers chose a wheelbase and stuck with the rim it came with—locked into the default feel, function, and look. Fast forward to 2025, and we’re in a whole new era. The buzzword? Modularity. Swapping out rims has gone from being a niche hobby to a mainstream expectation among serious […]
A Newton-meter (Nm) is the SI unit of torque — the twisting force that causes rotation. In sim‑racing wheelbases, torque equates directly to the strength of force feedback (FFB): the physical resistance and vibrations you feel, which emulate a real car’s steering behavior. The Direct Drive Wheelbase (DDWB): The Core of Precision A Direct‑Drive Wheel Base eliminates […]
If you’re just starting out in sim racing—or upgrading from a basic force feedback wheel—you’ve probably stumbled upon a lot of gear options that look the same but vary wildly in price and performance. Some wheels come with brand legacy. Others come with bells and whistles that sound exciting… until you realize half of them don’t […]
