The BEST Sim Racing Wheels for $500!

[@JakeVeryJake]

The moza r5 bundle is the best wheel for $500

[@zeroyum1473]

I agree!

[@salzstange6341]

@JakeVeryJake don’t have a comparison but my experience is awesome. Also with the performance kit, clutch and formula wheel mod there are great „lower budget“ solutions to improve performance

[@fubokuen]

MOZA is only good if you are PC only.

[@salzstange6341]

@@fubokuen yes. i am new to simracing but actually my impression is consoles have too many downsides when it comes to simracing to begin with. No wide aspect ratio monitors, no triples possible, limited amount of games and very limited options on equipment.

[@SnakezF1]

@@fubokuen Moza R3 bundle is also for xbox. PC will always be the home of simracing. Consoles are barely any cheaper than PC's nowadays anyways.

[@Vocalgerm]

Dont forget abaout the new Moza R3 Bundle PC Edition. It comes with the ES wheel rather than the ESX Wheel so there is no Xbox Compatibility and its $299.

[@f1ibraaa]

Upgraded from a TMX to the R3 Bundle and it’s been the best decision ever. Been having loads of fun and waited a long time to finally buy one

[@Audiosan79]

I've just finnished my racing sim rig a week ago. It was a little bit more expensive than $500. Moza R9 weelbase Moza ES wheel + ES12" mod Moza SR-P pedals + the brake performance kit Moza HBP handbrake Moza SGP shifter Trak Racer TR8 Pro cockpit with recliner seat and integrated monitor mount MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor And the PC Total cost: just around $5000. Next on the list is a GT wheel.

[@fajaradi1223]

@@Audiosan79 Yeah nah yeah mate! One more zero is just a lil bit more expensive.

[@Unknown-np4fn]

Who asked?

[@VanFS3K]

If you're a PC user, get the moza r5 bundle.

[@stanthechanman]

Fanatec CSL DD was my pick. It's cheaper than the Moza R5, and allows you to easily upgrade to 8NM and load cell. The main drawbacks of Fanatec were the quick release and the company bankruptcy, but both issues have been resolved. The QR2 is very good and Corsair is now in charge. Finally the Fanatec allows you to pick a round wheel with the bundle while the Moza R5 bundle only comes with a d-shaped wheel. Round wheels are more versatile as they are also good for rally and drift.

[@HighlandCall]

Also a must for fully getting oval racing (especially Dirt - in a league I'm in we tried to do a side dirt oval series and had to stop because half the field had D shaped/F1 style wheels so couldn't do it). I'm slightly biased in that the CSLDD is my third wheel and the others I've had (Driving Force GT, T300RS) were round wheels so I'm simply used to it but I think if you are only going to have some wheel I'd go for it. I will probably get an F1-style rim at some point just because but the round one works perfectly at the moment

[@tequ2762]

it's still worth buying fanatec? Or not bcs fanatec are bancrupcy

[@Vietto-mv1vm]

I bought the turtlebeach for $350 with promotions and it is the best decision I could have made, thank you

[@seebarry4068]

2nd hand all the way for me. This is like watching the future.

[@ski874]

I have a PS GT DD Pro and I got the bundle last year before they got bought out by Corsair for $ $600 and went to home depot and bought a 5$ spring and modded the brake. It reacts like a load cell. 👍 With out spending a ton of cash on the upgrade.

[@MrJojoringo]

I paid 249$ for the 300rs GT like 3 years ago, seems a bit too expensive in your video

[@davidtsmith33]

I'm favouring the Thrustmaster T598 bundle. Best value for money in the bunch IMO.

[@1cerecords]

TGT2 over t598 allday everyday, at least currently especially for gt7..yes its belt driven and abit expensive but with gt7 there is no better wheel.

[@xiaoyu88]

what about the cammus vs the moza r5? someone has idea?

[@SnakezF1]

Moza much better

[@keeponrcnbrianmiles4207]

Great video I have a friend and his boy has a PS3 what wheel combo would be good for his console. I am also looking at getting a setup for my ps5 saving up money for one of them on ur video…

[@averagedriver81]

Not a bundle but this could be a good set for under 500 cammus c5 - 280 (wheel + clamp only, not the pedals) - peak 7nm direct drive, I currently have it and it feels great. Simjack ut pedals - 140 usd (2 pedal set) or 160 (3 pedal set), a heusinkveld knockoff, it's good quality, has a 200kg load cell capacity in total 420-440 usd w/o tax

[@MrKlawUK]

Fanatec really need to adjust the PS version. The PS chip can’t be that expensive. A basic PS base equivalent of the R2R bundle without the GT7 wheel should be plenty doable for $100 more so $499. Maybe $599 if you want the GT7 wheel

[@TraxionGG]

Agreed!

[@geoffreybees]

I love my alpha mini with gt1 Sr alcantara wheel rim and gt neo

[@kmsthanks]

Got that exact same setup last month. Nice

[@CarsandCats]

Will there ever be a wheel that works on Series X and PS5 at the same time? That's all I want, I don't care how much it costs! I am so tired of having to swap wheels when I want to play the other console. And yes, I already have a Drivehub and it sucks because it lowers feedback and increases deadzone.

[@TraxionGG]

Fanatec DD Pro with the Xbox compatible McLaren rim 😊

[@CarsandCats]

@@TraxionGG Wait, that works on PS5 and Series X? How is this possible?

[@TraxionGG]

Yes! It's because for the Playstation compatibility, there is a chip inside the base. For Xbox compatibility, it's a chip inside the wheel. So if you pair up the PS Fanatec base with the Xbox Fanatec wheel, it should work on both!

[@CarsandCats]

@@TraxionGG Got it! So always buy the PS base. Do ALL Fanatec pedals work with this base and consoles? Does loadcell work with consoles and how do you adjust those? I've only used G29/G920 so this is a whole new world to me. Your videos have been FANTASTIC and the best I have found on KZbin.

[@SinhVTruong]

I don't care what people say about the Turtle Beach setup. I have it and I think it's great value. I have the whole button box programed to AC content manager and it's a joy to use. Could it be better? yeah... but for the money it's fantastic. All my friends that have sim setups... it holds up well for the money. Getting knocked for "trying to hard and providing more" is bogus.

[@ahicracing884]

Is the Camus Axial Drive like the Thrustmaster. Its shape would imply it might be. Thrustmaster have made a big deal about Axial drive so would be interesting to known if Cammus got there first.

[@billyglimstead5204]

I was wondering this too!

[@karannashine9526]

No it’s not axial drive. It is a traditional DD drive but the strator and magnets are flipped(magnets are on the outside). So it is a similar shape but it’s still a traditional design.

[@Haulinbassracing]

It's an outrunner style motor like drones and electric cars use

[@PITAH1]

I have a cheaper Cammus C5 DD and I like it a lot.

[@bullit199]

No Cammus? One of the best DD on the cheap brands. C5, C12, and DDWB 15Nm are great choices and they have a set of entry level pedals.

[@Mancitydiehard]

Yeah but their wheels are ugly and it’s nice having wheels to swap out where as with them can u even use a formula style rim?

[@jekaufo]

They are harder to order

Spotted a T248 in the intro. Has anyone had one fmof those last more than 6 months? I had good luck with the t300 I used to have, and on MOZA now. But I have only ever seen dead t248's lol

[@azamat19]

you forgot the best budget direct drive period. cammus c5! 9nm peak torque was measured. 260euro

[@TraxionGG]

On the contrary, we will be doing another video next year covering the more budget options around the 200 mark

[@azamat19]

@@TraxionGG copy that. Though the c5 is easily better and has more torque than csl dd and r5. The c5 feels even stronger than the csl dd with 8nm boostkit, so it could have been in this video. With pedals like the new simagic p500 or the cammus lc pedals, you got something quite good for under 500€.

I picked up all my stuff during Black Friday. Sure, I had to spend a little more than $500 but this setup is MILES better than the R5 bundle. Moza R9 base = $370 Moza table clamp = $50 Moza ESX wheel = $120 Fanatec CSL pedals = $50 (FB Marketplace) Fanatec LC upgrade = $140 Total = $730

@SnakezF1 Sometimes u have 100$ more, sometimes not. Overall experience is good. The sky is the limit, but if u spent 1000$ for a wheel and u have no proper chair, u will be all over the place trying to hold yourself in the right position.

Used Logitech. Then spend the money you saved on your wife.

[@MilkingBofur]

Being on console and being a massive racing fan is just so disheartening personally. There's so little and what's there seem to be nothing in comparison to PC. I race on a Spider 458 belt fed wheel so it's 100 quid with no FFB and I have a blast. Tried to get the fanatec one but it's out of stock everywhere. Real shame on xbox and even the moza r3 comes across so weak. Just my 2 cents.
