I got rid of my CSL DD for an R5 and haven't been disappointed. It feels more solid, less flex, better quick release (if you don't want to spend a fortune). It's also more practical if you have a spouse for example as it's much smaller and lighter than the CSL DD and can be moved away if necessary. The table clamp is also way better if you don't have a rig.

[@vmcfmvct2352]

Did you use your cal pedals with it?

[@ab8jeh]

@@vmcfmvct2352 I did initially, but as I got the SRP lite with the bundle, I just used those with the brake mod and sold my CSL pedals. Kind of regret it slightly, but you can use the pedals with the clubsport usb adapter no problem without the fanatec wheelbase.

In 9 months MozaRacing has added: R5 as a Solo purchasable Base instead of bundled. 2 Wheels that are now (V2) compatible with the R5. USB Universal Hub for compatibility with other devices. Hand Brake. 3rd Party Adapter for other bases. Extension Rod (personally questionable) Now they need to release a Shifter.

I've recently gotten an R5. Upgraded after many years of gear/belt driven from Fanatec GT3RS and then G923, it is night and day. And if anyone is on those wheels and thinking about upgrading and wondering if its worth it. Do it. I only play on PC so the console drawback was never a consideration for me. I was scared the low nm torque rating of this could put me off and thinking I should have bought an R9, not the case. You will not regret it 1 piece of advice, if you upgrade from G923, buy yourself 2 things. 1. A USB adapter for the Logitech Pedals so you can connect them directly to your PC 2. Get the very famous Logitech Brake mod called TrueBrakeV2, and just keep using the Logitech pedals until you upgrade to a true upscale pedal set. If you bought the R5 Bundle and also the performance kit for the brake, it is NOT enough and is still very very soft, it does not come close to comparing the feel of the TruebrakeV2 upgrade on the Logitech set.

Thank you for this comment. I’m about to upgrade from a G923 and I’ve been on the fence if I should just spend more for the R9 or get this bundle. this has definitely helped me in my decision. Thank you.

Great vid, very informative.. I am honestly considering getting my 1st DD racing set considering my racing wheel decided to die on me recently.. the Moza R5 looks to be a great option and hopefully soon will manage to spare the money and get this set with the additional upgrade for the break pedal

I recently bought my first wheel and it is the moza R5 and I don't intend to ever replace it. It's so freaking awesome.

That intro tho! Great review, deserve an Oscar

[@Colapso]

Mr. OC Racing regarding the fact that the Moza wheel rims are not compatible, Moza is currently updating the existing wheels to a V2 version we already got the (RS, GS and CS v2) at the time of this video, FSR is compatible since launch. So basicly Moza is doing an awesome job on their ecosystem, nothing to do with this subject but today they released the new HBP Handbreak which for the price seems a really solid option way above competition on its price range. Love your videos btw

[@neblolthecarnerd]

If this ever gets console compatibility it will instantly be on my radar

[@devintolliver92]

Will never happen

When calculating the price for a formula racing setup (two pedals and no shifter) which I'm looking for, the Moza setup with the R5 and their cheapest formula rim comes out to around €1300 with taxes. A similar Fanatec CSL DD setup comes out to around €850. I'll go Fanatec instead!

[@mArvAlcao71]

Moza GS wheel or ES (R5) wheel with mod? And you compare to which Fanatec wheels? McLaren GT3 or Formula?

[@robertdevald]

@@mArvAlcao71 I took this very wheel base that's shown in the video (so the R5) and Moza's cheapest pedal set and the GS V2 GT wheel rim (which is the cheapest formula wheel I could find on their site). For the Fanatec I took the CSL DD as I mentioned, the Clubsport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 and the CSL pedals. To me the Fanatec looks like a much better value if you only play Formula or perhaps GT3 class :) You could even go with the McLaren rim and save a ton more money :)

[@mArvAlcao71]

@@robertdevald fair point actually. I always think CSL DD are better than the R5, and in other side Moza's wheels are better than the Fanatec's offerring. I just wonder how long Fanatec being a prat by only sell their products in the EU and handful of countries

I'm loooking at T300 RS GT and Moza R5 bundle. Which do you think is better for me? I'm a total beginner and I'll use it mostly on Forza Horizon 5 and AC. BTW the Moza here is $250 more expensive than the T300 RS GT. Thanks in Advance.

[@OCRacing]

With the amount I spent on them, I might as well use them on every video possible 😂

[@comdrive3865]

3:30 this is easily explained, fanatec's build quality on the cheaper units is nothing compared to moza. Higher stiffness in your wheel results in better translation of that 5.5 nm torque

[@Oppensleimer]

Considering this wheel base as a Christmas request to myself (full bundled with pedals etc). Got the G923 a few weeks back and completely hooked on Sim Racing now lol. Is there anything else you'd recommend over this for the price range? Bundle I've seen is £529 which seems pretty decent for direct drive. Would appreciate any input, thanks

[@trob_12]

i upgraded from the g29 to the r5 about a month ago, i got the cutch pedal and the brake performance kit as well. such an amazing upgrade from the logi, and i got the es formula mod yesterday and it so good. And the only other wheels i can think of in this price range are the CSL DD and that new cammus C5

[@dragon2knight]

I saw the epic step into Lightning McQueen, I knew this was gonna be good 😎 This will be my step up from my T-150, so I'm glad it's a worthy wheelbase!

[@mobilegt]

Good video. The funny (sad) thing about sim racing here in Brasil, is that this bundle, which hovers around 600 USD, goes for more than 10 times the retail price... The logitech G29 and G923 that are considered entry level here, go from R$1500 of our local currency (Real), up to R$2400. The Thrustmaster T248 is 400 USD can be found here for over the R$ 5000 mark

Did you go into the moza pit software to select it to be in rpm mode? Mine was flashing out of the box without functionality until I changed the setting for it in the software

[@kornertax]

I’m still deciding between PXN v12 lite, g923, or the Moza r5 bundle. Which one should I get? 0:36

[@RFY12M2KT]

R5 all day every day of the week reasons 1 g923 is ok but it doesn’t have the best upgrade path and is weaker than the Pxn v12 and the R5 2 Pxn is nice and has 1nm more of torque but lets say you want 2 wheels like a formula wheel and a gt wheel thwn you can’t because they don’t really sell that (they do sell a formula mod kit, im not sure ) 3 the R5 is the best with allot more upgrade path you can upgrade the pedals the wheel and do soo much more also moza has the BEST quick release system If you’re planning to upgrade youre hardware Moza R5 If you just want a better wheel and not really planning to upgrade youre pedals or wheel then the pxn v12 lite is a good option but still recommend the R5 over the V12 lite because pxn isn’t the greatest with quality at times but its your decision Take the blue pill for Moza R5 Take the red pill for Pxn V12 lite And dont even think about the g923 nuh uh its cheap but if you have the budget buy the R5 or Pxn wheel

[@comdrive3865]

4:40 you could probably get it to work on console with a gimx adapter or the like. Maybe not a ps5, but it should work with a ps4. I got a locitech g27 to work that way on a ps4 and even fine tuned the ffb through gimx

[@DemonNeno]

I picked up the bundle at Microcenter for $500 (479.99 + tax) with their 20% sale. At this price... Well, I'm pretty damn happy! Another note, the SR-P Lite brake pedal spring has been revised as well. Many reviewers complained about it being as soft as the gas pedal. The spring is roughly 2x stronger. It may still benefit from the additional mod kit, but for a new buyer, it's an acceptable feel that doesn't cause you to accidentally rip the brake pads off of your virtual race car 😂 Also note, microcenters sale is also on rig hardware as well. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2 and a MOZA R5 cost me just over $700. Not bad for turn key solution that'll work with a PC chair. If anyone asks, it's my son's Christmas present though 😜

[@OCRacing]

Didn’t know they had a 20% off sale. Bought a few sim racing gear from there two days ago lmao

[@jivjav100]

I just did the same thing with the same stand but inside the steering wheel package, comes clear rubber pads for mounting the wheel base to the table, if you put those in the bottom of the post 📫 where it's meant to fold for the wheel base it should eliminate the wiggling.
