It is best suited for experienced drivers who can fully utilize high torque systems.
KEY FEATURES
The VNM Direct Drive Xtreme Wheelbase uses a custom industrial servo motor paired with a 23 bit absolute encoder to deliver extremely detailed and responsive force feedback. With 32Nm of torque, it communicates subtle grip changes, weight transfer, and surface detail with high clarity. The system supports telemetry based force feedback across major racing titles and includes advanced tuning options for multiple force feedback effects, allowing drivers to fine tune response characteristics such as damping, inertia, and friction.

On track, this wheelbase delivers extremely strong and detailed feedback that allows drivers to feel even the smallest changes in grip and surface conditions. The high torque output makes it possible to replicate real steering forces, especially in high downforce or heavy vehicles. With proper tuning, the feedback remains controlled and informative rather than overwhelming, helping drivers maintain precision during long sessions. It excels in competitive environments where consistency, reaction time, and detailed feedback make a measurable difference in performance.

Had been curious about trying a base that has a telemetry FFB mode. I’m not happy with the direction Simucube is headed with the SC3 so after watching Dan Suzuki’s review, I decided on the VNM Extreme. Absolutely love it compared to my SC2 Pro. It’s not a huge difference, but very noticeable in the detail in road feel and especially the additional connection I feel to the front tires. I have barely played with TIC mode and the telemetry FFB, but this is already made me super happy I upgraded. VNM bases are now my default recommendation. Period. I understand what Dan and RBM were talking about.
Incredible wheelbase. Endgame. I am very impressed.
Coming from an SC2 Pro, this base has genuinely surprised me. It matches the SC2 in all FFB areas (if not surpasses it) with a more natural feel across most cars and games. The telemetry setting is game‑changing. The UI isn’t the most intuitive among the major players, but it’s still easy enough to work with.
Games I’ve tested so far include RF2, AC, ACC, iRacing, and RBR. The base absolutely shines in ACC, a title that has always lacked feel for me with other hardware. In RF2, most of my experience has been with the KartSim mods, and tire scrub is extremely noticeable, around 90% accurate compared to real life, in my opinion. iRacing feels on par with the SC2 straight out of the box using the recommended settings from the VNM website. I also run a 4” extension and notice zero flex or loss of FFB detail.
