Master The Scene CONSPIT brings together the elite forces of professional drivers and a top-tier racing engineering team, leveraging our comprehensive Motorsport expertise to create its first Direct Drive product. The Ares series wheelbases, including Ares and Ares Platinum, demonstrate exceptional performance and clear competitive features across multiple dimensions. Superior Performance Designed for sim racers seeking the ultimate competitive experience, the Ares features a 23-bit high-resolution optical encoder and a high-precision skew-pole direct-drive motor, specifically developed for sim racing. Paired with an optimized, high-performance force feedback system, it delivers an unmatched, ultra-smooth driving experience. 3D Front Panel - Where Design Meets Function Leveraging the flexibility of aluminum alloy casting, the 310 APEX features a contoured 3D front panel that follows CONSPIT’s hardware ecosystem design language. Its ergonomic layout provides intuitive access to controls for superior handling. 23-bit Optical Encoder Designed for sim racers seeking the ultimate competitive experience, the Ares features a 23-bit high-resolution optical encoder and a high-precision skew-pole direct-drive motor, specifically developed for sim racing. Paired with an optimized, high-performance force feedback system, it delivers an unmatched, ultra-smooth driving experience. The Comparison - Optical vs. Magnetic The optical encoder used in the Ares Wheelbase offers superior performance compared to magnetic encoders with the same resolution. It provides higher accuracy, smoother feedback, and greater reliability, ensuring consistent and precise input detection over time. Advanced Force Feedback Dynamics The Ares series base features an advanced motor control system, ensuring stability, efficiency, and precise positional accuracy during force feedback output. With a torque slew rate of up to 9.5 Nm/ms, it captures even the finest details. Specialized for the Task Unlike the standard off-the-shelf industrial servo motors used by others, the Ares features a proprietary-engineered motor structure specifically designed to meet the unique demands of a racing simulator, optimizing handling feel, steering feedback, and stability, delivering: Lightning-fast torque response Minimal torque cogging (less than 2.3%) Ultra-smooth handling Precise steering input Dual Skewed Pole Design Using a dual skewed pole design with both stator and rotor skewed poles, this optimizes cogging torque, significantly reducing torque ripple, electromagnetic vibration, and noise, resulting in excellent NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. Ultra-High Torque Density Compact size, immense power. Utilizing ultra-high magnetic permeability cores and powerful NdFeB magnets, along with optimal air gap ratio and high slot fill factor design, this motor achieves high torque density and delivers powerful output. Minimized Cogging Torque After multiple simulations and prototype iterations, Ares has perfected the electromagnetic design. The dual skewed pole stator and rotor, high slot-to-pole ratio, optimal air gap, and precise magnetic circuit minimize cogging torque, delivering an exceptionally smooth steering feel. Advanced Thermal Management Real-time, high-frequency monitoring of the system's temperature ensures stable motor and control system operation, delivering exceptional thermal management performance. Exclusive Actual Torque Performance Testing At CONSPIT, we reject virtual claims. Throughout the Ares wheelbase development, we employed precision control industry-grade testing to ensure all performance data is grounded in real evidence. Validation involved a high-precision dynamic torque sensor placed between the wheel and motor output shaft, with resolution below 0.01Nm and response up to 1kHz. This enabled real-time monitoring of actual torque at the driver’s hands, precisely matched against motor-reported signals for accurate performance tuning. Precision Calibration and Optimization In addition to providing precise calibration of torque parameters, The Testing also offers a reliable tool for objectively quantifying base feel adjustments. Characteristics like torque dynamic range, responsiveness, and high-frequency noise, which heavily influence the feel, can be evaluated and optimized. Innovative Industrial Design With a sleek, compact profile and a visually lightweight design, the ARES offers a multi-angle aesthetic experience that exceeds both visual and performance expectations. Winning with Details Crafted from high-grade aerospace aluminum alloy with a proven heat dissipation design, the ARES ensures exceptional durability, reliability in endurance races, and a premium texture from advanced forming and surface treatments. POGO Module for Future Expansion The front of the base is equipped with magnetic contacts for easy installation and future expansion of various functional components. High Safety Design A dedicated safety mode ensures driver protection and allows children to play safely under parental supervision. Conspit Link 2.0 Easily configure wheelbase functions, fine-tune FFB, monitor status, and create custom presets using Conspit Link 2.0 software. Featuring official presets crafted by professional drivers and vehicle dynamics engineers, allowing for quick switching between games or vehicle setups, including presets from renowned pro drivers like Laurin Heinrich. CDR Quick Release System The CDR Quick Release System is is designed using specifications that are widely adopted in the sim-racing industry, ensuring mechanical compatibility between various wheelbases and steering wheels. It accommodates multiple usage scenarios, allowing for rapid assembly and disassembly as well as effortless steering wheel changes. CES Emergency Stop (Optional) An external emergency stop switch that allows for quick deactivation of the Ares motor, suitable for coaching, offline sim racing experience centers, and child play under parental supervision.
