It is an upgrade for drivers who want their cockpit layout to reflect how they drive: steering, shifting and handbrake inputs each have their own control. Think about reach and mounting position as carefully as the rest of your rig, so you can return your hand to the wheel naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"msw-benefits\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #ED1C24;padding-bottom:8px;margin:20px 0 10px\"\u003eWhy choose the Asetek Load Cell Handbrake?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 kg load-cell sensor with 16-bit resolution measures braking force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTune the two-stage spring and elastomer resistance to your preference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose progressive analogue input or digital on\/off operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium and steel construction with left- or right-side mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"msw-product-details\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #ED1C24;padding-bottom:8px;margin:20px 0 10px\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild a repeatable hand movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor rally and drift driving, a useful handbrake position is one you can find without looking away from the track. Start with your normal seated position and choose a location that lets your arm move comfortably between the wheel and lever. A firm mounting surface matters: movement in a bracket can make a consistent hand action harder to repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose the input style for your simulator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue mode offers a graduated input, while digital mode provides an on\/off command. Check the handbrake options in your simulator before configuring it. Where an analogue axis is supported, watch the input display while testing a few gentle pulls. For a digital assignment, confirm that the action releases properly as well as activating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSet the feel before chasing lap times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the adjustable spring and elastomer system to choose the resistance. Begin with a comfortable setup and spend time on a familiar section of track before changing it again. Change one setting at a time; this makes it easier to identify whether a difference comes from the hardware setup or your driving. The aim is a controlled action you can reproduce, rather than the greatest possible resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlan a complete control layout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also use a separate shifter, leave enough space for both movements. Check that the lever does not interfere with your wheel, seat or shifter at either end of its travel. Route cables away from moving parts and leave appropriate slack so that adjusting your driving position does not pull on a connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"msw-compatibility\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"border-bottom:2px solid #ED1C24;padding-bottom:8px;margin:20px 0 10px\"\u003eCompatibility and setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePC:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct USB connection with Asetek RaceHub for calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXbox:\u003c\/strong\u003e requires a compatible Asetek Xbox wheelbase and steering wheel.
