Hi everyone! I’m planning to build my first Direct Drive (DD) wheelbase for sim racing, but I’m having trouble deciding which model would be the best choice for a beginner. I want to build something reliable, powerful, and affordable without making the project unnecessarily complicated. I already have a 3D printer, so I’d love to find a project that includes 3D-printable parts, detailed assembly instructions, and a complete list of the required components. Ideally, I’m looking for a design that has already been tested by other people and has a community where I can ask questions if I run into any problems during the build. My target is around 5–8 Nm of torque, which I think would be a good starting point for a realistic sim racing experience. I’m also interested in understanding which motor, controller, encoder, and power supply would work best together. It would be great if the project included links to the necessary files, wiring diagrams, and configuration guides. I’m particularly interested in open-source projects such as FFBeast or other DIY Direct Drive designs that offer good performance for the price If you have built your own DD wheelbase or know of a good project, could you please share the 3D models, assembly instructions, and any useful resources? Personal experience and recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!   submitted by   /u/PersonalRub5101   to   r/simracing [link]   [comments]
