Conspit ARES 20 Platinum 20Nm Direct-Drive Wheelbase (CDP Quick Release)

The ARES 20 Platinum is Conspit's 20 Nm direct-drive wheelbase. It's built around a skew-pole motor designed specifically for sim racing and a 23-bit optical encoder, for smooth, detailed force feedback.

This version uses Conspit's Formula-inspired CDP quick release. It suits sim racers moving up to high-torque direct drive who want a compact aluminum base with deep tuning in Conspit Link 2.0.

Key Features

• 20 Nm holding torque from a proprietary skew-pole direct-drive motor designed for sim racing.
• 23-bit optical encoder: angular resolution below 0.01° for precise, stable feedback.
• Torque slew rate up to 9.5 Nm/ms: fast response that picks up fine detail.
• Dual skewed-pole stator and rotor: cogging torque under 2.3%, with reduced torque ripple, vibration and noise.
• High torque density: high-permeability cores and NdFeB magnets in a compact housing.
• Thermal management: real-time, high-frequency temperature monitoring keeps output stable.
• Tested with real torque data: during development, Conspit validated torque with a dynamic torque sensor between the wheel and motor shaft (resolution below 0.01 Nm, up to 1 kHz).
• Aerospace-grade aluminum body with a heat-dissipation design.
• POGO expansion port: magnetic front contacts for add-ons such as the Conspit CSD Nano dashboard.
• Safety mode for supervised use by kids, plus support for the optional CES emergency stop.
• Conspit Link 2.0: configure the base, fine-tune FFB, monitor status and save presets, including official presets from pro drivers and vehicle-dynamics engineers such as Laurin Heinrich.
• CDP quick release: CNC-machined 7075 aluminum clasp and ball-locking mechanism, spring contacts for an EMI-resistant connection, and zero-play geometry.
