Racing wheel base mount Res-Tech X1 DD SUPPORT SIMUCUBE, aluminium, black

Racing wheel base mount Res-Tech X1 DD SUPPORT SIMUCUBE is a black aluminium bracket engineered to secure Simucube-compatible direct-drive (DD) wheel bases to Res-Tech X1 and GT racing cockpits. Manufactured from 6 mm aluminium, the mount offers a rigid connection between the wheel base and the simulator rig, ensuring accurate alignment and stable transmission of force feedback for Simucube 2 Sport, Pro and Ultimate units. The package includes the main support plate, a front stabilising bracket and the required screws for straightforward assembly.

Advantages

The aluminium construction provides a stiff, lightweight solution that minimises flex under high torque loads and helps maintain consistent force feedback. Precision-cut mounting points align with common Simucube bolt patterns, reducing installation time and need for additional adapters. The black finish offers corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance that integrates with most cockpits and custom rigs.

Suitable for

• Mounting Simucube 2 Sport, Pro or Ultimate direct-drive wheel bases on Res-Tech X1 and GT cockpits
• Upgrading a racing cockpit for more rigid wheelbase attachment and improved force feedback fidelity
• Custom simulator rigs requiring a compact, screw-on DD base bracket with included hardware

Key specifications

• Material: 6 mm aluminium
• Finish: black
• Compatibility: Simucube direct-drive wheel bases (bolt pattern matched for common Simucube 2 variants)
• Includes: main support plate, front stabilising bracket, mounting screws
• Intended rig fitment: Res-Tech X1 and GT cockpits and similar custom rigs

How to use

Position the main support plate on the cockpit wheeldeck aligning the pre-cut mounting holes with the rig’s mounting points. Secure the plate using the supplied screws, then attach the Simucube wheel base to the plate using the matching bolt pattern. Fit the front stabilising bracket to reduce lever arm movement and fully tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque values. Verify alignment and check for any play before powering and operating the wheel base.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect mounting screws and bracket contact points for tightness and signs of wear. Use threadlocker if necessary according to your rig maintenance practices, and follow Simucube guidelines for torque and alignment to maintain reliable force feedback performance.
