1.5 years of MOZA R5 | Mods | Review

[@tompsmith]

** Retrospective Video Notes ** 1) at 03:20 I mentioned there's more choice of steering wheels with R9 and above. All V2 wheels (and there's plenty of choice) are compatible with the R5 base, albeit, FFB quality may be impacted if the wheel is heavier. Used to not be the case, all good now. 2) Jimmy Broadbent saying he dials down his FFB to 3 or 4nm of torque ...there's a general assumption it's a tad higher.

[@fernandoalcayaga8341]

The Moza R5 is the best wheelbase or bundle you can have today! The quality is amazing-I've had it for 6 months with zero problems. The SRP-Lite pedals are the only thing that isn't great, but with some modifications, you can solve that!

[@tnwmlhhh]

Could you explain why aren't they great? I would like to buy them in the future

[@username8878]

​@@tnwmlhhhpeople want load cell ones but if you are not bothered too much about that then the pedals are great! I really love them how they are ngl

[@fernandoalcayaga8341]

@@tnwmlhhh The pedals that come with the Moza R5 Bundle are the lite version of the Moza pedals. The issue is the "soft" feeling and resistance they have (for my taste). They require modifications to function decently well. In my case, I use 3DRAP Mods for the accelerator and the brake. This translates to a better performance in terms of feel. Obviously, the bundle pedals work perfectly to enjoy sim racing, but one always wants more!

[@tnwmlhhh]

@@fernandoalcayaga8341 thanks for the response!

[@Baesic999]

I just bought the R5 bundle and made the mistake of buying the regular SRP pedals, not the SRP ***LITE*** pedals it made me pretty frustrated when I found out there is a software lockout for the SRP clutch with the SRP lite pedals. That was a major issue for me as I don't want to spend $60 Canadian plus $49 shipping from moza since no where seems to carry the lite clutch. Biggest scam imo because the clutch connects perfectly to the srp lite pedals 😂

Moza R5 is magnificent piece of kit. Well recommended.

[@TBD_Teebs]

Fantastic long term update! These are honestly more important than day 1 review videos, especially for buyers. Whether a product is good or not really depends on if it's built well enough to last! I also ran a G27 for years and then upgraded to the R5 and ES wheel + formula mod, though I mounted it immediately to a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0. The stand allows me to use my Secret Lab chair thanks to its wheel tray which stops the chair from moving, so it's like just having the front half of a full rig without having to spend $$$ on a chair too, and it's fairly portable (Though very heavy). If you do end up pulling the trigger and upgrading to something more rigid/permanent, I'd highly recommend it. You'd also then have the option of upgrading to a full load cell pedal set down the line if you wish, which is honestly the biggest upgrade you could make from your current setup. The SR-P Lite pedals aren't much of an upgrade over the G27 pedals tbh. I paired my R5 with SimJack/SimRuito Pro Pedals (Ali Express) and they are probably the best bang for buck pedals you can get.

[@tompsmith]

Appreciated 🍻 Next Level gear has hit my radar actually and cheers for the heads up on pedal options, comment sections are great for figuring out where all my money is going next 🙃 I said to myself that pedals may be the last upgrade I look at, but if I do, I've always wanted the vibes when I hit ABS ...although those options are a bit pricey, I still might! 😇

I appreciate the long-term review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@NotAnAmerican]

Just spent 2k on an R12 build as my first rig as a drifting youtuber suggested 20nm but the r12 is cheapest i could sensibly allow. For UK users i purchased from overclockers and they offer free delivery+ good warranties. Next purchase will probably be a new PC as it seems im in the low tier these days

[@daveyfarmer7534]

hi mate. I'm looking at buying an R9 from overclockers but a few of the bits I want show as pre-order. did you have that issue or were all of the bits you wanted in stock. just don't want to be waiting ages haha. I'm sure its a case of just waiting for them to receive more stock but the uncertainty is killing me! also delivery isn't showing as free for me

[@NotAnAmerican]

@@daveyfarmer7534 Hi, I just went with whats in stock tbh, i would also look at GTomega as well if stock is the. I had an issue where my pedals (Moza CRP) didnt sit nicely on my cockpit (NLR GTracer) saved myself 200 by retuning the CRPs and buying the SRPs. customer service on both sites are good. In terms of delivery most places say its free after a certain ammount of money. I cant remember if mine was as the cockpit required hiring a pallet company to transport it.

[@filipivan5125]

Take that Jimmer clip with 2 forklifts of salt. ANyone watching him knows he runs his bases at way more than 3-4NM 🤣. Universally youtubers agree 10-14NM is the best place to be. I personally dont wanna spend 1000 euros on my setup so im eyeing down R9 + KS (what a beauty of a wheel !)

[@cooldante11]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 3-4nm was in context of rally only

[@snippidippi]

Think dave cam is on 6nm?! And jimmy has said that sweetspot is around 6-9nm but real cars has around 10-12nm. Not 100% sure about the numbers as it was a while I saw he's clips

[@filipivan5125]

@@snippidippi I went through a lot of videos in the past 2 months of wanting a DD so bad :D but one of the guys has to have low FFB becuase of his past injury/arm issue, it might be Dave tho. Im surprised about Jimmer, used to watch him a lot before he moved to his own house and got moza sponsor him.

[@tompsmith]

ahhhh, I can't tell you how long I thought about challenging this as it sounded dodge as soon as he said it. From watching these guys stream I'd have guessed between 5 and 10 somewhere certainly. I gave up thinking about it in the end and just rolled with it, but knew it'd be picked up on, and rightly so 😁 Every other piece of kit I've had a go on has been at least 6, and my hands were hurting after the last one which nearer double figures I imagine (ACC rigs at Insomnia event at the NEC).

[@unrealone1]

MOZA R5 looks the best

[@HikiZIMA]

Hello just want to put this out here as I recently upgraded to Moza R12. Budget-ish for people who want a bit more power Wheel: Moza R12 with ES wheel or R9( don't own one but still good enough but heard there's a bit of overheating issue so maybe run 70-80% FFB) Pedals: G27 pedals with TrueBrake v2.2 mod Shifter: SHH Thorn shifter (have both Sequential and H pattern) *Not really budget when I think about it but I think this is the cheapest way you can really go to a mid-end setup

[@tompsmith]

Just checked out some TrueBrake v2.2 mod vids on KZbin, not seen that one before, looks good. A lot of people seem to have footwear for braking, but I like playing in my socks, so probably influences my light pedal preference 😁 Good mix of kit though

[@JiriNovakCZ]

Just moving away from G920 pedals + TrueBrake mod after 6 months (hardest spring). I'm upgrading to Simsonn pedals - a budget option but should be good according to review. The Logitech pedals have too much play which is noisy. The springs got softer after a while, there is basically no travel at the end where you actually brake. I can do 2:18.0 at Spa or 1:48.0 at Monza in ACC with them, so the modded pedals are not bad. But honestly, if I wouldn't buy Logitech set again. Now, when MOZA R3 is out, there is no room for Logitech IMHO. Or spare for a more advanced equipment if not limited to consoles.

[@Luis7Vazquez7]

Looks like after I get a PC, I'll start saving for this one. Been on a G920 for almost 4 years and I main ACC so it's gonna be a huge upgrade

[@tompsmith]

Yeah, it's a journey acquiring all the bits for most, including myself. Whatever DD you get out there you won't be disappointed after a belt driven wheel 😎

[@s3nTer]

After years of using T150 I've got R5 for my 30th birthday from my wife. I still clamp my wheel to the desk so the force is more than enough, I even have to lower it down because it gets exhausting for me 😅

@PurelyPog Hey, cheers for the comments. Other game wise, I had the previous F1 installed, modded Automobilista for BTCC and have Dirt 2.0 installed. All no problem.

[@tehnubrises5533]

Which firmware version were u using for this review? I noticed that the FFB was a lot higher with the latest few versions of the wheelbase firmware. I've ran this base on a few endurance races but i've yet to perform better than when I was on my g27 with my custom built gt wheel (750.5g without the QR) partially because I didn't like the "brake feel kit" they sold tome with these sets of pedals

[@tompsmith]

Hey, funny you should mention firmware. I updated it a couple of evenings ago before baselining some setups. I ended up rolling back quite a long way to 1.2.0.84. The later versions offset my wheel by 3 degree for some weird reason that really bugged me (like having the tracking in your car off), and some other stuff. I need to spend an evening fully testing it with ACC and documenting my findings. It annoyed me so much it'll be my next video to vent probably 😁🤬

There's some info somewhere saying the R5 and R9 share the same tech inside, and from the R12 upwards there's a difference for more detail. From memory I think it's a higher encoder resolution, but don't know enough about it. I imagine the R9 will still be pretty great either way! Happy saving!! 😁

[@ericbaker2025]

I have the Mozza R5 wheelbase and pedal kit and it is amazing. Not really any videos on how to set up the Mozza pit house software and how to fine-tune the wheel settings for certain games like NASCAR heat five most videos are geared toward formula 1 iRacing, etc which is a debbie downer

[@tompsmith]

Used to love NASCAR racing on my first PC! There are a bunch of presets for different games included in the Pithouse software. I've sometimes paused games and switched the profiles to test them all out. Quickly narrows down a decent baseline to work with I found.

[@Usersf134ssk]

Do you think the r3 is good? The r5 bundle is 200usd more expensive than r3 in my country 😂 im planning to get the moza truck wheel after as I mainly play ets2 but unsure if the r3 is sufficient enough. Thanks!

[@tompsmith]

My Logitech G27 was 3Nm, and I've dialed down my R5 for the kids now n then. For me 3Nm wouldn't be enough, 5 is where the entry should start. The R3 is marketed towards Console and all age ranges is my opinion. Just my personal thoughts, and depends what you're mounting it to. For truck sims, I'd want a nice amount of FFB 💪 I also think the larger wheel for the truck sim stuff could do with a stronger base.

[@chitose3146]

Sometimes, I think buying better sim racing equipment will be less costly in the long run and the more you try to cut costs, the more you'll most likely spend in the long run. Here are examples: Option A: Logitech G29 or G923 or Thrustmaster T300 then upgrade to Moza R5 then upgrade to Moza R9 then 21nm DD Option B: Moza R5 then upgrade to R9 then 21nm DD Option C: Moza R9 then 21nm DD Option D: 21nm DD But of course, it still comes to the buyers' budget. Not everyone has near-limitless sim racing budget. I think Moza R5 is still better than the Logitech and Thrustmaster rigs for long-term use.

[@tompsmith]

Yeah, totally agree if personal circumstances allow for it.

[@hatray4540]

8 Nm dialed to 6Nm is the sweet spot for me if yu re racing 1-2 times per week

[@bikram3198]

Would u guys recommend getting the moza r5 to replace my thrustmaster t300 because i swear the t300 sometimes loses a bit of force feedback so im planning on upgrading so would u guys recommend it??anyone suggestions would be appreciated:))

[@MaliReborn]

I don't get the fanatec issues tbh. I ordered a couple days ago and they started processing my order for delivery today already. The value of the cls DD with a powersupply brick from aliexpress for 35 euro to get 8NM is not beatable by moza.

[@kachow6685]

watch Ermz video from about a month ago he covers the fanatec situation.

[@tompsmith]

Would have got the same if they'd been in stock and likely not been disappointed! Dodgy order fulfilment and the company going through financial and leadership change. Probably won't go under, but when you're spending that amount of dosh, the noises of uncertainty are a definite purchasing factor. Glad it's worked out well for you though, plenty of amazing DDs these days 🍻

[@JoeyTse]

Hi I am a new user of r5. As a 1.5 years r5 user, do you always use 100% game force feedback on r5? I am a new sim driver and want to play more F1 or racing car. What is your suggestions? Thank you!

[@JoeyTse]

For me 40% is already insane. But Dose increasing the game force feedback will help me improve or have more fun on driving?

[@tompsmith]

​@JoeyTse hey dude, well each game is different of course. I've done a vid on ACC settings. 100% on Pithouse, but 70 - 80% in game force feedback works there for maxing it out. 67% was the safe value, but the vid shows where the clipping kicks in as a hint about what to aim for. Hope tha helps

That's probably in line with my assumption too with anything up from the R5. The R5 will sometimes get hot if FFB is maxed out on certain games or tracks. Most often it's just warm too. May even be improved with later firmware updates, but haven't given enough attention to a pattern of behaviour over the months. Cheers for the feedback 🍻

R9 = 15bit encoder , same as R5 sadly R12 I cannot find any encoder info anywhere but if it did have higher bit encoder it would be a great buy as with R9 u will be clipping the FFB once u start wanting to run the base at 100% FFB :/.

I owned the R5, R12, and R21 from moza. I am able to overheat all of them if I use ‘bad’ settings. Or some games just produce more heat, F1 game series being a good example. For the R5 I set force feedback to 80% and set a desk fan pointing at the base and it fixed most overheat issues. The r12 and r21 at 100% is a lot for most people, I ran my r12 with overheating only happening in the most extreme driving. I run the r21 at 80% and haven’t overheated it (but definitely can at 100%) In conclusion, moza gives access to a lot of settings and incorrectly using them will make overheating be an issue, but moza does produce more heat than other manufacturers and unfortunately thermal dissipation is not their strong suit
