The Conspit Ares 12 CDR delivers 12 Nm through the same 23-bit optical encoder and skew-pole motor as the Ares 20 Platinum. Force feedback quality depends as much on encoder resolution and motor smoothness as on raw torque, and most drivers use high-end bases well below their maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CSD Nano display really included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This version of the Conspit Ares 12 ships with the CSD Nano telemetry display, normally sold separately. It clips magnetically onto the front of the base with pogo-pin contacts, so there is no cable to route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a steering wheel included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Conspit Ares 12 CDR is sold without a wheel. The CDR wheel side comes with the Conspit 310 Apex CDR; other Conspit wheels need the Conspit CDR Quick Release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Ares 12 CDR and the Ares 12 CDP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use the same 12 Nm motor and 23-bit encoder. The CDR version uses Conspit's newer quick release, compatible with NRG-style hubs, is more compact (243 mm) and includes the CSD Nano. The CDP version uses the ball-lock CDP quick release for wheels already fitted with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Ares 12 compare with other 12 Nm bases?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Conspit Ares 12 CDR sits in the same class as the Moza R12 (12 Nm). Its distinguishing points are a 23-bit optical encoder rather than a magnetic one and a torque slew rate up to 9.5 Nm\/ms. It is PC only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich games work with the Ares 12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Conspit Ares 12 CDR works with PC sims that support force feedback wheels, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, F1 and EA Sports WRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ares 12 work on PS5 or Xbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Conspit Ares 12 CDR works on PC Windows only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho handles warranty and after-sales service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French Simracer handles after-sales service for the Conspit Ares 12 CDR, as for every brand it sells, with a contact based in France.
