Warranty, exchanges and returns

Warranty and legal guarantee

The manufacturer's warranty period for this product is shown below the Add to cart button. Some brands offer longer coverage - Simucube and Sim-Lab products come with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, and the Simucube ActivePedal Ultimate with 5 years.

If you buy as a consumer, you also have a minimum two-year legal guarantee from GPerformance as the seller. The manufacturer's warranty is additional and does not replace or limit your statutory rights.

If something goes wrong, contact us - we'll handle the claim for you, including any coordination with the manufacturer. You don't have to deal with anything yourself, and shipping cost is on us.

Need help choosing?

If you're not sure whether a product is compatible with your setup, get in touch before ordering. We'll help you pick the right option. Honest advice is always free.

Product exchange within 14 days

Sometimes gear feels different on your rig than you expected - force feedback, pedal response, wheel ergonomics. That's fine. Within 14 days of delivery, you can request an exchange for a different product or variant. The product just needs to be in good condition, complete and returned in its original box - short testing on your rig is fine.

Exchanges are meant for genuine purchases, not for trying out products. If you're unsure what suits your setup or driving style, ask us before ordering - we're happy to help, and we want you racing on gear you're happy with. For business (B2B) purchases, please contact us first.

14-day right of withdrawal

If you buy as a consumer and change your mind, let us know within 14 days of receiving the product - no reason needed. You can use the Withdraw from contract link in the footer or email support@gperformance.eu.

Once you've notified us, you have another 14 days to send the product back. The direct cost of return shipping is covered by you. If the product is faulty or you received the wrong item, contact us first and we'll arrange a suitable return method.

Inspecting and returning the product

You can unpack and inspect the product just as you would in a store. Handle it with care and return it complete, with all accessories, cables and manuals. Keep the original box and protective materials, as they help protect the product during return shipping.

If you've handled or used the product beyond what's needed to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning, you keep your right of withdrawal, but we may reduce the refund by the loss in value this caused.

Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync exploded rear view - industrial servo motor and 350 V architecture

Voltage Makes the Difference

The DDS TorqueSync pairs an industrial SPMSM AC brushless motor with a 350 VDC internal bus - several times the voltage headroom of typical 48 V wheelbases. That headroom overcomes back-EMF, so torque stays available during rapid direction changes and slew rates stay high.

Hand-built harmonised magnet pairs and distributed-wound stator cores virtually eliminate torque ripple and cogging - the result is silky-smooth rotation with instant, lag-free torque delivery.

Feel What Others Miss

TorqueSync is Sim-Lab's patented signal translation layer between the simulation and the servo drive. Running at over 100,000 updates per second, it converts every force command into motor torque with minimal latency and exact proportionality.

Tire slip, road texture and load transitions come through cleanly - the wheel feels alive, not mechanical.

Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync exploded front view - USB data passthrough and slipring

Future-Proof Data Passthrough

Full USB 2.0 runs directly through the base to the PC, so wheels with displays, LEDs and telemetry modules work without extra wiring. A dedicated 5 V power line delivers 2,500 mA - five times the standard USB budget - for high-draw screens and button boxes.

Everything flows through an industrial-grade replaceable slipring rated for 200 million cycles, swappable in minutes through the front panel.

No Brick, No Clutter

Forget bulky power bricks on the floor. The DDS TorqueSync integrates a high-efficiency power supply directly into the housing - 1,500 W on the DDS26, 2,500 W on the DDS39.

One mains cable, cleaner routing, fewer failure points and stable power for consistent torque delivery.

RaceDirector software interface for the Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync

Software That Thinks Like You Do

RaceDirector is a complete tuning ecosystem: torque curves, damping, filters and slew rate with precision controls, plus instant profile switching per sim.

Telemetry FFB mode shows the incoming simulator signal next to the motor's actual output, so tuning becomes data instead of guesswork - and proven community setups are one download away.

Sim-Lab DDS TorqueSync top view - mounting rails on all four sides of the housing

Designed to Adapt

Precision mounting rails run along all four sides of the housing, plus dedicated front-mount points for maximum rigidity. Side-mount on a Sim-Lab rig, front-mount for a custom build, or use the wheeldeck - the DDS fits your cockpit, not the other way around.

The slots on top of the base also take a DDU or a light monitor mount, keeping the whole cockpit clean and rigid.

FAQs

What makes the DDS TorqueSync different from other direct drive wheelbases?

Most direct drive wheelbases run on 48 V. The DDS TorqueSync uses an industrial 350 VDC servo architecture with a 100 kHz control loop, which keeps torque available during rapid direction changes and delivers a much higher slew rate. It was developed together with SOLO Motorcontrollers, is manufactured in Italy at an ISO-certified facility and carries a TÜV SÜD approval mark - and the ecosystem is fully open, with no proprietary lock-ins.

Does it maintain full torque during long endurance races?

Yes. Both models sustain their rated torque - 26 Nm on the DDS26 and 39 Nm on the DDS39 - without thermal fade. The wheelbase was tested over thousands of simulated driving hours at sustained maximum torque, and active fan cooling keeps operating temperatures consistent, so force feedback feels the same on lap 300 as on lap 1.

Which steering wheels can I connect?

Any wheel with a 70 mm M5 bolt pattern - Sim-Lab and GRID Engineering wheels as well as third-party wheels. USB 2.0 data passthrough with a 5 V / 2,500 mA power line supports wheels with USB-C, USB-A or internal connectors, including rims with displays and LEDs, without extra wiring.

Which games are supported?

The DDS TorqueSync supports iRacing and all popular racing titles on the PC platform. Tuning, profiles and firmware updates are handled in the RaceDirector software, with per-sim profiles you can switch instantly.

How difficult is the installation?

Straightforward - the base bolts directly onto Sim-Lab cockpits and mounts via wheeldeck, side-mount or front-mount on other rigs. With the integrated power supply there is just one mains cable to route. Most users go from unboxing to their first lap in about 15 minutes.
