Start with your platform
- PC. Every wheelbase in our lineup runs on a Windows PC.
- PlayStation. The Thrustmaster T598 Servo Base is the one base in our configurator that runs on PS5 and PS4. Pedals, shifter and handbrake then come from Thrustmaster too.
- Xbox. In our configurator, the R12 V2, R16 Ultra and R25 Ultra run on Xbox with the MOZA ESX wheel.
Then your wheels
Each wheelbase takes its maker’s family of wheels. In our configurator, MOZA wheels go on MOZA bases, Asetek Racing wheels on Asetek Racing bases and Thrustmaster wheels on Thrustmaster bases. If you already know the wheel you want to hold, that decides the maker of your base.
Two exceptions. The Heusinkveld One has no quick release of its own, so on MOZA and Asetek Racing bases we add the adapters it needs. Cube Controls wheels bolt to a formula-style quick release (3 bolts, 70 mm PCD), so on MOZA and Asetek Racing bases we add that brand’s quick-release adapter. Neither is offered on Thrustmaster bases.

How torque is rated
Torque in newton-meters (N·m) is the number every maker leads with, but they don’t measure it the same way:
- MOZA Racing quotes peak torque for the R9 V3 and R12 V2 and sustained torque for the R16 Ultra, R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra.
- Asetek Racing quotes max torque for the Initium and peak/holding torque for the Forte and Invicta.
- Thrustmaster quotes constant torque.
Thrustmaster adds that the T598 can go beyond its constant torque: overshoot up to +100% on force peaks.
How torque is rated. 12 N·m peak is not the same as 10 N·m constant. More torque is headroom, not a setting you must run.
- MOZA R9 V3: 9 N·m peak
- MOZA R12 V2: 12 N·m peak
- MOZA R16 Ultra: 16 N·m sustained
- MOZA R21 Ultra: 21 N·m sustained
- MOZA R25 Ultra: 25 N·m sustained, measures its own output torque
- Asetek Initium Wheelbase (US): 5.5 N·m max, 8 N·m with the Boost Kit
- Asetek Forte Wheelbase: 18 N·m peak/holding, held for up to 40 s
- Asetek Invicta Wheelbase: 27 N·m peak/holding, held for up to 40 s
- Thrustmaster T598 Servo Base: 5 N·m constant, short peaks to 10 N·m
- Thrustmaster T818 Black Edition: 10 N·m constant
A peak figure and a constant figure aren’t the same measurement, so compare torque within one maker’s range rather than across makers.
Every wheelbase, side by side
All 10 priced direct-drive wheelbases in our configurator, by price. Torque is each maker’s own rating, word for word.
The VNM x Cube Controls bases (18–32 N·m max) are priced in your quote, and we confirm their mounting on your Core or Grand there too.
