thanks I was watching your review this arvo, your enthusiasm pushed me over the edge :)

[@virtualmotorheads]

@Transit67F2 I try my best. 😁😁😁

@@virtualmotorheads awesome ! the new mods and hundreds of tracks are marvelous

[@bartvanlaan2641]

I love my R5 bundle with formula mod. But now after 10 months I just bought the r12 with the fsr wheel. I bought the r5 because I didn't know if I would love the simracing in general. And now I am all in 😂. The r5 is the perfect 'beginner' bundle!

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@bartvanlaan2641 Nice!! My R12 arrived today and my R5 bundle has been sold to the next lucky owner. SimRacing is just so much more fun with the right gear. What can you tell me about your experience with the R12?

[@bartvanlaan2641]

Yesterday I installed it and the rest of the evening I was playing with the settings 😂. So I can't say much about it yet. But what I can say is that I have to adapt to this stronger wheel base. I think it will take some time to get used to it.

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@bartvanlaan2641 OK cool. Well there is definitely a video being made once I have installed this bad boy. I am very excited. This is supposed to be the sweet spot. So let's see...if that is true.

[@robertcarr4172]

Have you tried the new ffb protocol? Its in beta tho

[@bartvanlaan2641]

@@robertcarr4172 I downloaded the latest software. So I guess..?

Great video man!

As a 12 year old, this is an absolute win

[@beltrofix7667]

I've just ordered it for my 5 year old (his profile will have to be turned down to a very low strength). I'm looking forward to using it myself at full power as it seems the best about without spending more than a reasonable used car lol. Hope you enjoy yours. Pro tip get the pedal springs and clutch upgrade and aswell as racing see if there's driving test simulator or teaching then when you are old enough to drive you'll only need a few lessons and study for your theory closer to the time! You'll need one lesson and you're instructor will be shocked to be putting you in for your test, he'll be thinking you've been stealing cars.

[@Transit67F2]

Very good thanks! Bathurst looking good. My finger is hovering over the buy now button but I just need to find out if it will work with Grand Prix Legends which is all I drive

[@virtualmotorheads]

Would you like me to install it on my pc and give it a shot and let you know? If have the R12 now...but if it works with the R12, it will work with the R5. Let me know and I will give it a bash. Just need to find a copy of the game.

[@Transit67F2]

@@virtualmotorheads very kind thanks !, I just asked over at GP Laps too so I'm going to find out some way :) I will chase up the install link if you haven't got a CD

[@Transit67F2]

i put a link to the Grand Prix Legends Installer but it disappeared

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@Transit67F2 I am sure I will find a copy myself.

[@Transit67F2]

@@virtualmotorheads I can happily confirm that the R5 configures and has FF in GPL!!! This before I have installed their software

[@artsmart8759]

Sim racing yes or no. R5 is perfect for answering without breaking the bank. Other reason to use is if you don’t have room for permanent setup. Mine is mounted to a Playseat Challenge and the whole assembly just folds up for storage. I also use the brake mod and a KS wheel

[@virtualmotorheads]

That sounds awesome man! And lots of people don't have room. Perfect for a smaller setup. 👌🏻😎

[@torchbearer3784]

So it works good with Playseat Challenge? I don't have much room and don't want to buy a new seat. My g920 is getting old. Sometimes it skippes gears and when I do really fast movements it breaks the calibration😂 Bought it when it came out and told myself when it breaks I am going to buy a new one. Well here we are.

[@artsmart8759]

This setup has been good enough to get me within .2 seconds of qualifying in LFM with ACC. A load cell pedal set is probably coming my way for Xmas. My skill set continues to rise, though I don’t really spend more than a couple hours weekly. I am also about to turn 79 yeas old

[@virtualmotorheads]

79!! Wow...just shows you, we will never be too old for sim racing. Amazing!

[@IWlLOwnYou]

I am new, in the sim racing world. I do have a steer but its a beat up old steer from what 10 years ago maby even older, so devently want to upgrade to the moza R5, doing allot of research on it at the moment.

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@IWlLOwnYou You won't regret getting it. That I am sure of. Enjoy the research...that is definitely one of the fun parts. 😉

[@TheHunterDG33]

I just bought the r5 bundle with the clutch last week will be here in two days

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@TheHunterDG33 I am excited for you 🤩. What setup did you have previously? Or is this your first taste of sim racing?

[@TheHunterDG33]

@@virtualmotorheads Well i had one of those shitty pxn 180 degree steering wheel with no ffb i got for $100 back in 2020 so definitely a big upgrade.😃

[@virtualmotorheads]

Oh wow...well upgrade is an understatement then! How has your experience been so far, with your new R5? I am curious to know.

[@TheHunterDG33]

@@virtualmotorheads Its been great i've been playing AC,Beamng, and American truck sim. The FFB is so smooth it's great, Worth the money 100%

[@MK-ey6tw]

im almost convinced, but i want to get also that sweet 12" rim for drift, but im scared if it will loose too much feedback

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@MK-ey6tw apparently it doesn't, because the rim is so light! Do it! 😉

[@kidiceyvr6101]

u definitely wont, especially if u are drifting u dont need much ffb

[@virtualmotorheads]

I need to get into drifting. As soon as I have the Moza CS V2 wheel and a handbrake of some sorts...I will start giving it a bash.

[@jibbersdelight1616]

Can you change the wheel?

[@virtualmotorheads]

Yes you most definitely can. Must just not get one of the heavy and wide wheels...as it will effect the forces you experience. Check out my Moza R5 and KS wheel review on my channel.

Is it compatible with PS4?

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@oh_barnacle6967Sadly Not yet. I am sure they are working on something. 🤔

[@Moth665]

He ask if the R5 is worth it after only a year, what a year is for a sim racer, a lifetime?

[@virtualmotorheads]

@@Moth665 Hmmm. I hear what you saying. But sometimes these wheel bases don't even last a year. This is just to show that even after a year, after many many hours of racing. This bundle still kicks ass. But it might not be enough for everyone, one year later. So you need to make sure, you are happy with what you buy. After 8 months, I wanted something more! This is just my opinion. Have an awesome day. 😉

WTF is that a green screen or a real La Mclaren 918 SV ?
