PXN VD10 Review – The $499 Direct Drive Setup Shaking Up Sim Racing

PXN just dropped the VD10 direct drive base and W DS R2 wireless wheel combo—and at $499 for 10Nm of power, RGB rev lights, and magnetic shifters, it’s turning heads. But is it actually good enough to compete with the big brands? In this full review, I break down the hardware, the software, the driving feel, and the tuning journey—plus the good, the not so good, and the bottom line. We’ve pushed it hard in iRacing, EA WRC, and Le Mans Ultimate to see what this budget-friendly setup can really do. If you’re looking for your first direct drive or an affordable upgrade, this might just be the most interesting wheelbase you’ll see all year.
