An 8 Nm PC direct-drive wheel base with compact 196 mm length, bottom and side mounting, and CONSPIT Link 2.0 setup.
The CONSPIT ARES APEX is an 8 Nm direct-drive wheel base for PC sim racing. Its compact housing measures 134 Γ 150 Γ 196 mm, with M6 bottom and M8 side mounting points for fixed installation. The wheel base is configured through CONSPIT Link 2.0 and uses a separate steering wheel and quick-release solution, making it a modular base rather than a complete racing bundle.
Why choose this product?
- The 8 Nm direct-drive platform combines a compact 5.9 kg wheel base with both bottom and side mounting options for a range of cockpit installations.
- Dedicated USB, CONSPIT CAN and optional emergency-stop connections support a modular PC setup that can be expanded around the wheel base.
Product details
8 Nm direct drive and compact format
The ARES APEX is rated at 8 Nm maximum torque. The official user manual lists dimensions of 134 Γ 150 Γ 196 mm and a net weight of 5.9 kg. Power is supplied by a 24 V, 6.25 A unit.
Mounting and connections
Four M6 mounting holes are provided on the bottom and four M8 mounting holes on the sides. The connection panel includes power input, USB to PC, CONSPIT CAN device connections and an emergency-stop connection. CONSPIT lists the CDR quick-release system for the wheel base, with the steering-wheel-side component optional.
Software and fair comparison
Configuration is handled through CONSPIT Link 2.0. When comparing the ARES APEX with another 8β9 Nm wheel base, use measurable differences such as torque, mounting points, dimensions, connection options, quick-release ecosystem and software. A higher torque number or a marketing description does not by itself prove that one system will feel more precise or refined in every simulator.
Compatibility
Platform: PC.
Connection and ecosystem: The wheel base connects to PC by USB and provides CONSPIT CAN connections for supported devices. The CDR quick-release system is specified by CONSPIT.
Requirements: A compatible steering wheel, the required wheel-side quick-release hardware, pedals, mains power and a suitable bottom- or side-mounting solution are required. Optional emergency-stop hardware is not included.

Frequently asked questions
Is the CONSPIT ARES APEX a complete racing bundle?
No. It is a standalone 8 Nm wheel base. A steering wheel, pedals and required quick-release components must be selected separately.
How can the ARES APEX be mounted?
The user manual specifies four M6 bottom mounting holes and four M8 side mounting holes. Use a compatible rigid bracket or cockpit mounting solution.
What software is used with the ARES APEX?
CONSPIT specifies CONSPIT Link 2.0 for configuration of the wheel base.
Does the wheel base include the steering-wheel-side quick release?
No. CONSPIT lists the CDR quick release and states that the steering-wheel-side component is optional, so it should not be assumed to be included with the base.
How should I compare the ARES APEX with a 9 Nm wheel base?
Compare torque class together with mounting, connections, wheel ecosystem, software and required accessories. The ARES APEX is rated at 8 Nm; a 9 Nm figure alone does not establish a universally better driving experience.
