The D-BOX Advanced Traction Loss & Sway Platform is a 2-degrees-of-freedom motion platform, developed by Advanced SimRacing and D-BOX, that reproduces traction loss (yaw) and lateral sway by moving the entire simulator to take sim racing realism to another level.
The result of over 18 months of R&D, the platform translates the vehicle's lateral and slip forces with professional-grade precision: you feel the exact moment the rear axle loses grip and can catch the slide earlier, refining your lap times. It is powered by D-BOX actuators, the only haptic technology provider officially licensed by the FIA.
Key features of the D-BOX Advanced Traction Loss & Sway Platform
- 2 degrees of freedom: yaw (traction loss) and sway (lateral movement) that shift the entire simulator.
- Powered by 2 D-BOX G5 actuators, with a proprietary traction and sway mechanism.
- Heavy-duty aluminium profile base for maximum rigidity and stability.
- Expandable to 5DOF by combining it with the D-BOX G5 4250i system.
- Compatible with all aluminium profile rigs and chassis; mounting hardware included.
- Premium "Infinite Black" triple-coat powder coat finish.

Frequently asked questions
How many degrees of freedom does it offer?
Two: yaw (traction loss) and sway (lateral movement), which shift the entire simulator from side to side.
How do you reach 5DOF?
By combining the platform with the D-BOX G5 4250i haptic system, which adds vertical motion and vibration.
Which rigs is it compatible with?
With all aluminium profile rigs and chassis. The necessary mounting hardware is included.
Does it work on consoles?
No. It requires a Windows PC and the D-BOX software (GameCenter + MotionCore).
What's included?
2 D-BOX G5 actuators, a proprietary traction and sway mechanism, base and sliding aluminium profile platforms, a D-BOX haptic extender and power cables with a USB connector.
Do I need to buy the actuators separately?
No. The platform includes its own 2 D-BOX G5 actuators.
