FANATEC DD1/DD2 TEARDOWN – How a Fanatec Direct Drive Wheel Base Works

We had an unfortunate accident in the Boosted Media Studio. A shelf collapsed which resulted in my DD2 falling about 1.5m onto its nose, causing the shaft to seize.

So today we’re going to pull it apart, see if we can fix it, and more importantly see how the Fanatec DD1 and DD2 Direct Drive Wheel Bases are built!
