The force feedback on an R5 is just amazing. The more expensive wheels are really more for the full-time sim racers. I am perfectly happy with my R5.
I can relate
moza now have a truck wheel base
My first direct drive wheel and I couldn't be happier. The R5 bundle with the extra clutch pedal and brake mod was the one for me at a much more affordable price. The quality is pretty much at the top for me. I'm not a full on racer, like you I like ATS as well. So this one works great for me.
Great to hear!
What clutch did u buy? Is it just the Mors SR- P Clutch?
@Kragh12 yes
One thing I'll give to Moza is a great desk clamp. I'm using Moza's desk clamp with my CSL DD
Wow the moza clamp works with the CSL also?
An amazing review Blu! MOZA has been a game changer for me. Being able to get top of the line products at an affordable price is not easy, but MOZA was able to provide that for me and then some!
I personally got the R9 with the GT wheel which as some may know guided me to win a league’s amateur class championship in my debut season.
So proud to own MOZA products and would highly recommend them for anybody looking to upgrade their sim racing experience to the next level, or for those looking to begin their sim racing journey without having to upgrade their equipment later on at an affordable price.
Wow bro thanks for sharing!
So your telling me farming sim doesn’t work on this ecosystem or it just had no force feedback while playing
Personally i had no Force feedback when i tried but maybe other people figured it out
@@BluGames thanks for the reply man as long as it works that’s all I care about lol
My man, your videos are awesome. The production value and overall content are top-notch. Excellent review. This looks like the wheel to get.
It honestly is
Great information and I’ve been a follower of your videos over the years for troubleshooting and reviews for MSFS 2020. Looking to get started with sim racing and I’ll be picking up the R5 Bundle from Micro Center tomorrow for $459. Thanks
Wow nice didnt know they were so cheap at micro center! Nice
Blu, your R5 is moving around a fair bit, if you can mount it really solidly you'll be amazed at the details that come thru the ffb. I had the same issue pointed out to me, and switching to a solid mounting made as much difference as switching between belt and direct drive, maybe more.
Thats crazy! Well i AM actually working on something that i havent announced yet but great advice thanks
I am getting the R5 After years with my G920. I finally will get to experience direct drive in a few days
Im actually so excited for u
I currently have the thrustmaster T300 and have had it a few years but thinking about upgrading it for the moza R5. I play a lot of ETS2 & ATS as well as other driving games like ACC and automobilista and read so much about how much better DD is plus I like the fact it quiet unlike mine.
nice review, loving mine for 9 months, no issues with function or overheating. brake upgrade kit is needed tho and should've been included with it, but whatever. overall it is great and an huge improvement over the g29, can't see myself upgrading for a very long time considering i held my g29 for 4 years.
I had my old wheel for like 10yrs lol even with aa a broken desk clamp lol
I'm considering the R5 but the overheating issue I have heard happening does worry me. Glad you don't have that issue.
@@BernardWilkinson most of these overheating cases are user error. Moza pithouse gives us EQ settings which is great, but it's is also a curse in that some people jack up all kinds of frequencies to up to 500%.
I have pithouse at 100% ff, acc in game at 85-90% and all my EQ flat across the board at just 100%. I can drive indefinitely and clip the signal maybe once or twice a lap for a split second, and the most it'll get is luke warm. In the winter, always cool room temp. You just need to set it up right and not clip the signal to the point of it being solid red.
@@voongnzhello there. I'm getting my R5 tomorrow. Can you recommend any settings or presets I should use to avoid a 'user error' in regards to the overheating? Just need some guidance to what settings I should use to avoid any mistakes as you mentioned. Thanks
In terms of a trucking wheel for the Moza wheelbases, you can either try to look for a 10-ball quick release which has a 70 or 74mm bolt spacing & try to find a big matching wheel or simply wait till somewhere in Q1 2024 as then Moza will release their own trucking wheel
Thanks very much! I will look into that!
wait i thought the srp pedal arent compactible with r5....
Great review. I thought you other wheel was direct drive but maybe I’m getting old 😂
No i only have 1 right now
I’ve always wondered why wheels arent universally compatible with PC games… In the sense that if one wheel worked what stopped all the others? I get that some features might have unique in category features like the touchpad on a PS5 controller which might not work on PC but things like turning, i mean the input should be the same across brands right? And how are pedals different from a L2 R2 trigger on a PS5?
Just like some games have no or bad controller support. Basic functions like turning the wheel usually work on most games, but things like force feedback need to be coded in the game specifically for wheels and some just don't do it
On the ADAC sim expo in germany, Moza showed an Truck driving wheel. It looked awesome, but have to wait until they realize it. Have an eye on that.
Thanks for the info! Ill watch out for it!
I love my R5 best investment ever made, I boght the Moza Quick release aswell for a drift wheel and I love it!
Wow which drift wheel?
So I’m new to sim racing I’m looking to get into the scene im looking at the r5 bundle + clutch + brake upgrade
For shifters I’m looking at logi tech would it be compatible? Would this wheel be okay for applying it to my desk?
Yea you can use any shifter as long as it has its own usb plugin.
The wheel will work on a desk but be aware that the force may shake your desk a bit
@@BluGames thanks!!!
After 8 months, Moza es steering wheel, pedal shifter, left pedal broke. The place that holds the pedal shaft is plastic, so it breaks. My research is in this direction. Different people on reddit have experienced the same problem. I am a victim of this situation. Even if I contact Moza in China, my cargo and steering set will be damaged. It will not be good for me if I cannot play the game. Think twice when buying an ES steering wheel. I have used Logitech DFGT for 10 years and have never had any problems. Moza broke down in 8 months. I do not recommend it to anyone.
Take a break knowing that these will happen.
You need to get a proper driving sim rig, that flight rig you have has way too much movement for the wheel base to fully experience it. There are some very cheap options out there, you don't HAVE to get a 40160 alloy rig.
Great review brother! Will definitely check this out for iracing.
Yea its great option. Feels great iracing for me
you say you can use all Moza wheels with R5, I think some (Moza)wheels are not compatible because of other contacts.... right?
You can get the Moza quick release adaptor and then buy a real truck wheel to attach to it ;) As long as it has the 6 x 70mm holes.
Oooow really!!?? I am very interested
Do the truck steering wheels not use a 74mm bolt pattern?
I LOVE my Moza R12. I have two wheels: the formula style GS wheel and the round RS wheel. I mounted everything to an alumbinum sim rig
Moza has a 12 inch wheel that i just purchased after reading some reviews that it works well with ATS and ETS. the best part it that it just bolts on to the ES wheel without losing any of the buttons.
Good video, connecting the wheel to wheel base do you have to line up wheel to connect or is it just connects, also are the cables to connects to pc are they long i need 4 ft cable thanks.
I just ordered mine and it will be here in a few days. Upgrading from a Logitech G27. So even though the pedals aren’t great I think it will still be an upgrade and I can see myself doing what you did and get the srp load cell pedals. Great review thank you I’m excited
Hey Blue, I'm thinking of upgrading from my t300 go the r5 but I've read a few comments saying the leap from the t300 to the r5 isn't worth it? I already have load cell pedals so not to bother about pedals
Yea cause t300 has 4.5 nm torque. If you want a larger different u may want to go with the r9. Obviously more expensive but its twice as powerful.
You gonna try the Lorry wheel ? 🎉🎉🎉
Idk.. should i?
I’m waiting on mine right now blu I love my fanatec but I had to have a moza for my other setup good choice!!
Would love to hear your comparison of the 2
Definitely will
@Pilotrick86 How do you like it compared to your fanatic setup?
Thank you.
I always watch the review after I buy something lol, but you got my hopes up man thank you
I love this bundle! Currently saving up for it. Going to be a hell of an upgrade from the T300RS to the R5. Awesome review!
Well watch out theres been some big sales this holiday season. Link in description
Iv just gone from a T300 to an R16 V2. OMG this thing is unbelievable. And now have a real quick release too !!!Hope you enjoy your R5 dude, I’m sure you will.
@vanishingpointracing.2199 wow thats not even in the same league!! Congrats man enjoy
@@BluGames thanks dude. It’s a big change lol
I got the R5 cuz ur review and I cant wait, got my asr1 rig and this bundle coming and i cant wait
Moza have in the works a bus / truck dedicated wheel
Ooooh yeaaaa
Sequential shifter as well, really nice with a wheel for truck simulator, farming simulator and even the lawn mowing simulator. I like chill games like that and with a dedicated wheel even more fun.
I won't advise anyone to buy Moza things ever, they did not even try to RMA my broken R5 brake pedal correctly. It took them from April 30th to July 11th, 2024 to get me a working brake pedal again, and you know that the issue is a persistent issue/reoccurring error (in all their brake pedal models) they should have already fixed for all users. And if you are one of the lucky ones who had a good RMA service, think about those who have been left with next to no service from Moza (China)or their intermediaries (Rseat France/Germany (in my case the intermediary of Hardware Experts, the Netherlands)))and their retailers (in my case: Hardware experts, Lelystad, the Netherlands( Bram Nijs & Jorgo Rinu)). Never buy their products if you want to play it safe.
I mean not Moza's fault if you can't take care of your pedals, and you can't just take in account the after sell service to discourage everyone from buying moza's product, that's just unfair
@@Keratsss A company is as good as it solves persistent issues, If electronics go wrong what is the user to do about it while it is still under warranty other than get it fixed under a decent working RMA ""service"". And if you read it as it was posted it is the retailer that needs to take responsibility which they did not (EU thus Dutch consumer law) It is not my fault Moza supplied my Retailer and its intermediary pedals that had its electronics break within 10 months after purchasing them. Your suggestion is that I used them wrong so they broke, you are ridiculous.
@@petermaardananders6803 You're the ridiculous one in here trying to discredit a good company with good product, lying to potentiel buyers who would buy moza product just you because you didn't do the necessary things to keep your material in good conditions, it is funny how i've been reading hundreds of comment on Moza R5 related videos and you're the only one who's talking about "not working" pedals. Pathetic
@@petermaardananders6803 you're pathetic
@@petermaardananders6803 you sound pathetic
The base gets very hot
Hey, do you write this from experience? If so, does the FFB get cut down when it's overheating?
I'm thinking about getting the R5 as the price fits for me as I don't have the time to justify a more expensive option, a friend has had one for a while now and I tried his but the brake pedal is putting me off, better pedals means higher budget but you said you bought the spring upgrade, how was that, or did you just bite the bullet and go for the load cell option before trying the modified basic pedal?
Great question. The spring does make a big differnce. They give u a few springs of different strength. In my opinion feel pretty similiar to the load cell. But i been sim racing years with springless pedals so honestly im not that picky on pedals.
But if you decide to get the bundle i recommend trying the springs before u spent the extra money on more expensive pedals
@@BluGames Sold, it seems such a strange thing for it to be a big deal but I've wanted a DD setup for a while but like I said cost isn't the issue it's the amount of time I have to use it over what it costs is, thanks for the reply.
me too
My understanding it that higher torque wheels are not just so they have have wrist breaking force, but so that when they are turned down to appropriate force level they have better and faster response for a more accurate feel and so they can't be accidentally overcome by the drivers arm strength. Though I agree those 20+nM seem like massive overkill.
Gotcha thanks
just have a question how is the feedback can you really really feel the feedback from this wheel?
Yea absolutely
Team Simucube
can I use a after brand other than moza paddles?
