Simucube wheelbases are known for detail and control. But even the best wheelbase can feel vague if it’s mounted to a cockpit that moves.
This guide explains mounting methods and how to choose a setup that stays compatible over time.
Mounting methods (and what they change)
- Front mount: very rigid, common for high-end DD. Great for clean wheel height/angle setup.
- Bottom mount: simple and common, depends on wheel deck strength.
- Side mount: useful in some layouts, can be very rigid with the right brackets.
A practical fitment process
- Download the wheelbase mounting template/manual for your exact model.
- Confirm bolt spacing and required clearance (including cable routing).
- Choose a cockpit that supports your preferred mount method or offers adapter options.
Rig and bracket options
Aluminium profile rigs make it easier to adapt mounts over time. Front mount brackets can be a clean solution if your cockpit supports them.
- Universal front mount examples: 410–420 mm and 580–600 mm
- Side mount option: DD sidemount
- Rig foundations: GT-RS or XT120 for high-rigidity builds.
The goal is simple: mount the wheelbase so it becomes part of the cockpit, not a separate vibrating object. When it’s solid, the detail you paid for finally shows up in your hands.
