I brought the R5 bundle last week. I also brought the SRP lite brake upgrade at the same time which gives a good brake feel. I have also gone ahead and brought the Alien Mods load cell upgrade for the brake pedal which i hope isn't to far away. Love the R5!

[@MLCHRL]

I used a G29 to reach the top 1% in iRacing but got stuck there. I upgraded to an R5 and improved slightly to 0.9%, but after upgrading to an R12, I went back to 1%. For me, all the hype around high-end gear doesn't make a big difference. If you're not a skilled driver, better equipment won't magically make you one. While force feedback is nice, your driving skill is what truly matters. In my opinion, an R5 is more than enough to feel everything you need. As for pedals, I don't see the point in spending extra money. Pedal feel is just a preference, and they don't replicate a real car's feel since they're not connected to any system that adjusts based on the car. Especially with the clutch, you'd need different settings for each car and a mechanism to feel it properly. Don’t waste money on an expensive pedal system with springs and rubber just to apply more force. You don’t need it. Maybe a spring for the brake makes sense if you want to simulate gentle, easy braking like in a normal car. But in real racing, the force required is much greater, and you can actually feel the brakes. A spring won't replicate that feedback without electronic control. If you're serious about sim racing, buy an R5, and get a clutch, shifter, and a rig for added immersion. Anything beyond that is pure luxury and unnecessary for maximizing your enjoyment. It won't improve your experience beyond a certain point.

[@Luis-fh8cv]

100% agree with this. It’s like some people with setups. they think buying a setup will magically make them faster even though they’re 4 seconds off the pace through under and over driving. I got the r5 just because my g920 is too loud for my taste these days as I mostly race late at night

[@michael1]

TBH about 99% of the people playing what this guy calls 'hardcore sims' don't have brake pedals significantly better than the one in the R5. It's not like every other logitech, thrustmaster and even other entry level DD have load cell is it? At best a few of them have some kind of spring or piece of rubber to add fake resistance. It'd probably be worth getting the mod to add the spring. But the review as "not for hardcore sims' is exaggerated. Note too that plenty of the cars in sims like assetto corsa have ABS anyway (not added as an aid, they're factory fitted in the real car) so that makes it complete moot.

Too many issues with the quick release and price is too high for what it is since only the Gran Turismo DD Pro is available which is 100€ more than the regular CSL. So its either R5 or R9...

any other time like with the R9 or csl dd (8nm) id have said power really shouldn't be an issue, the main benefit is speed and response times but at 5.5nm peak... that's not enough to get a true DD experience in my opinion and i get a feeling manufacturers are cashing in on the cheap DD hype, most people who buy this are probably going to love it but not realize they are missing what made a DD blow your mind for all these years. i have a feeling the market is going to start getting flooded with cheap chinese DD bases that dont really offer that DD experience. i know that's gonna piss a lot of people off, in before the 3.5nm simagic alpha tiddly arrives.

[@dogboy0912]

I think it still makes sense to make these weaker direct drive wheels. Direct drive is just a straight up better technology for responsiveness in racing wheels. The amount of force feedback isn't everything. Hence the mods people do to logitech wheels to increase force responsiveness at the cost of the amount of force feedback

[@jinx20001]

@@dogboy0912 yeh i somewhat agree with you, having these low power options is always a good thing... i just think a lot of the spirit of what makes a DD remarkable is missing at such low power... i say this because i actually believe the torque one feels through a DD is lower at the hands than it is with a belt or cog driven wheel base believe it or not... for example i have a logitech g29 and a simucube 2 pro, if i set the simucube 2 pro to 2.2nm (minimum i can set simucube is actually 2.5nm) which is the same as the logitech g29 it is basically completely dead... im not exaggerating when i say i cant feel a thing but with the g29 i can feel it... i think this is because the cogs (and belts in belt wheels|) actually artificially boost the power from the motors. so to cut a long story short, i think DD motors kind of need the power to get the most from them, wheels like the g29, t300 etc can get away with tiny motors because of that perceived boost of power you get from the cogs/belts. At 5.5nm my simucube is pretty dead and weak aswell but i will say im using a pretty heavy and large wheel and the motor of the simucube is ofcourse very large and has different inertia characteristics. i just... dont think 5.5 is enough, you are right to say there are still DD advantages, they will always be more responsive and clean i just dont think you are really getting the DD experience with the R5, the wow factor wont be there.

Worth upgrading from a t300rs?

Honestly, i don't understand the bundle decisions made by Moza. The wheel at 28cm is a little too toy-like and the pedals are something you would upgrade sooner than later. If you are in the market for a DD, you are not going to be satisfied with those pedals. And let's face it, the wheel and pedals are more important in creating the immersion than the FFB. I hope they end up selling the R5 separately so people can choose better pedals and wheel to go with it. But I'm guessing this partly exists just to steer people into getting the R9 instead, which I would also do with the current options available.

You know what I hate. When a reviewer says something is decent but might as well get the next step up. So you watch their review on the next step up. Only for them to say might as well go a step further. Insane.

It's like that video of the guy with the blue bucket on his head getting chased by police and they knock the bucket off his head, only to reveal another bucket underneath

After price comparison on different bundle combinations with Moza and Fanatec. I went with the R9 + ES wheel + SR-P as a next step up from gear/belt wheels. All affordable bundles will have you buying the upgrades anyways.

4:02 Yes they now made a R3 😭

[@dannyleeracing]

They've announced it, but it ain't available to buy yet. Seemingly it's been stuck in licensing hell after Xbox changed the rules on third party peripherals last year!

Man this wheel costs 135$ to ship to the USA, so I don't think the 600$ price tag is an *honest* cost.

[@dannyleeracing]

This is a current point of contention and rightly so - they're apparently setting up more distribution in the US to counteract it, and would be reflected in shipping costs. Otherwise, other regional dealers should be able to beat the shipping rather than going direct

Dont buy from moza, but from a store near you. I bought one in austria (i live in belgium, 900km away) and i got is 100euros cheaper because moza's expensive shipping wasnt a deal there

[@advanceddarkness3]

If you have a Microcenter locally, they sell them in store.

You do not need load cell brakes to be good or get into Iracing. Please stop gate keeping. I raced years on non load cell pedals and have won plenty of races on Iracing and never have trouble with braking really. Literally pref on how stiff you want a brake.

It's been 7 days and the suspense is killing me. What was the end of that sentence? I need to know!

[@RajinderYadav]

this is a bad purchase after you're done paying the duty taxes

[@dannyleeracing]

What did your bill come to? For those that might want to know!
