Has anyone got any info on the new Ricmotech direct drive wheel

[dpj463]

I am in the market for a direct drive and just ran across this on the Ricmotech site. I can't seem to find any reviews at all on this one.
Just wondering is anyone has bought one of these.

That's cool, they use Accuforce Simcommander tech to control it, so I guess it's effectively a third party licensed Accuforce wheel. Not the OSW implementation I was expecting.

They quote 16Nm performance, but don't mention a stepper motor. This could be a very interesting alternative to getting the Accuforce flexibility with a slightly different motor design.
