ULTIMATE MOZA R5 Sim Racing Bundle Review

[@garyfacey6822]

Very helpful review, I've had the R5 bundle for several months and never really configured the settings to my liking, until I watched your video so thank you very much for going through all the settings and explaining what each does. The feeling of the wheel has improved greatly now that I've followed your settings.

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Glad you like my settings. Which sim are you playing?

[@L33Vi3W]

The best moza r5 review on KZbin. Just ordered mine, can't wait... ❤

[@dabneyoffermein595]

how do you like, how does it work with the add-on Semi-Tractor sized wheel rim? will it just be too under-powered? (Euro-Trck-Simulator, etc.)

[@Rookie291]

Just ordered mine from amazon, got the shifter, clutch and performance brake pedal too. Cant wait! Good review thank you 👍🏼

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. You’ll love it. Let me know if you have any questions 👍🏻👍🏻

[@54Mizery]

Thank you. That was the most informative and thorough review on the R5 I have seen. You showing your settings and explaining the reasoning behind them sets this review apart from the others. My R5 and brake pedal upgrade is on its way.👍

[@marcushillerstrom25]

The bolt pattern on the wheelbase is the same as all Fanatec (except dd1 &2), so your plate does have holes that line up with all four screws, you just need to find the correct holes. Nice review!

[@MatthewRumble]

Got the bundle for $370, excited for it to arrive. Came out to $400 after tax, got a steal 👏

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. That’s a superb price. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dabneyoffermein595]

OUCH, it would have been a good price if you didn't

[@BEkov-kd8cf]

Really glad to hear you never got any overheating. I've read a lot online of people having their r5 base overheat and lose FFB, so it's great to know you never had that issue.

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah I also heard that from other reviews. Mine barely got warm to touch. Perhaps they were trying crazy high settings in games. But even so. I had mine set to max in the out house software and just do it didn’t clip in ACC. it felt strong to me. 👍🏻

[@russelldevane5434]

Have one sitting in my truck I picked up at lunch today. I can't WAIT TO GET HOME FROM WORK!

Looking to switch from Logitech G29 to a in the middle direct drive wheel, thank you for this video it helped ! Hopefully I can find a deal soon 👍🏼

[@brummiegaming8008]

thanks, after having the R5 for a year its time to re review my settings, still and never has felt right since i had it , but thought it was because i was new to racing. Will try some different settings , so thank you for the guide and information.

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah try my settings and let us know what you think. What game are you playing?

[@brummiegaming8008]

@@Doughtinator ACC predominantly, i tell you what mate , these settings are faboulous 😎 i feel like i have a new wheel altogether. Now it just feels right , so thank you very much. Sub earned 🙌🍻 Keep up the good work!

Fantastic review, Moza kit seems to be really good, functionally, and quality wise, like you're review style, so subbed, thank's.

can't wait to order mine!

[@mrassassinscreedfan1]

Thinking of reccomending this wheel to someone thanks for the in depth review ( i also think its crazy that this rim will work in a real car)

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@m4nc1n1]

Just oredred the R5 bundle for my first wheel. Got it on sale for $459 and got the brake upgrade and clutch for $99. Should come this week.

[@Doughtinator]

Just got mine too right on!

[@SUBZERO8K]

Nice and thorough pair of review videos. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a good quality wheel. I'm looking to get a DD wheel in the future so Moza will definitely be on my radar when looking through the options.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. I’ll be continuing to use the R5 daily so I’ll keep everyone posted 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ardonjr]

I'm looking to upgrade my Logitech G27. Total Moza package to have the same as the G27 (shifter, clutchpedal, brake imrovement) is 700+ euros. That's a lot of money. But your video explained clear the benefits. Thanks for that!

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarkoVuckovic32]

Yeah but the thing is, you don't have to get everything right away. You could for example get just the bundle first and then add the other stuff later down the line, you don't have to spend 700+ euros all at once.

[@cookiemonster2189]

Good video is the pedal set for r5 same size as g29 pedal set ? Thanks

[@sokrus75]

Excellent view. Purchased Moza r5 for gt7. I haven't found the perfect settings yet. Can you help with gt7?

[@Doughtinator]

This video should explain all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKDHfp6hiNRsiNE

[@PotatosForLifes]

Would you recommend the Fanatec CSL DD QR2 bundle or the Moza R5 Bundle? (For PC and in the US)

[@reliableDriverr]

I just ordered mine from direct from moza due to their sales pricing of the clutch pedal and wheel bundle and srp lite brake mod compared to other sellers. I'm looking forward to take sim racing seriously and hit the limits of this Moza r5 then step up to a Logitech g pro by next summer since i put 300 hrs on my g920 setup and was able to get professional lap times on Tsukuba and Suzuka and lastly on brands hatch with mx5 cup and gt3 cars and felt confident in my skill range with my g920 setup but hit clipping and want to get more lower times with the Moza r5 for more detailed ffb. I'm excited!

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. You’ll love it 🔥🔥

[@mikeg2092]

Did you try the brake upgrade? And if so how did you like it?

[@Doughtinator]

I’m testing with it now. It’s very stiff. If you’ve not got a rig I’d avoid it. If you like a stiff brake then you’ll like it. I’ve modified mine quite a bit with a different spring and spacer. I’ll be covering in a new video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikeg2092]

@@Doughtinator Good to know. I just ordered the R5 to get into Iracing. Watched a few reviews but yours by far was the most in-depth. Thanks and looking forward to more of your work.

[@Doughtinator]

@mikeg2092 thanks man. Appreciate the feedback 👍🏻👍🏻

[@olip.6243]

I like your settings! With the Mustang I take 45 force feedback in the game settings, because with 60 it is very strong for me! Thanks for the video!

[@paulbraithwaite3219]

great review, will be buying one for my son for xmas

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. He will love it 👍🏻👍🏻

[@olivierdobxl]

thanks very helpful settings! anyway I'm better at the controller than at the wheel, are you too?

[@Doughtinator]

It can take a while to get used to a wheel.

[@lucaguglielmetti4390]

How does the brake pedal feel without the upgrade? I'm looking to upgrade from a g29. Is the brake pedal a bit harder than the gas pedal just like with the g29 pedals? Is it stiff enough for it to feel like a brake pedal?

[@Doughtinator]

It’s a good question. As it comes stock in the R5 bundle it feels quite similar to the throttle pedal. It’s good if you don’t have a solid base to put your pedals. With the brake performance kit it makes it stiff. In my opinion a bit too stiff. I use the brake performance kit but I swapped out the kit spring with a softer one from an RC car.

[@viniciosantos]

Great review

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@OrangeSunshine15]

you have the most detailed review on youtube for moza r5 in connection with ps5. Seems like it is a good option for many people. However, after thinking about it, i'm gonna pass moza. The only reason being the rasolution adaptor. it is more than $200 & I honestly believe that it is a joke. instead of spending extra $ on the adaptor I would rather buy something which is directly compatible. I really wish that moza can get the licensing for ps. btw, I got the psvr2 last week & gt7 feels like a completely different game when using psvr2. first time using a vr headset & it definitely surpassed my expectation.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. I tried to cover everything I could think of. Yeah PSVR2 is something that really has to be tried to understand it. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dr1ft754]

All though not all screws line up properly on the Moza R5 wheel base onto the GT Omega stand, Does the stand still manage to accommodate the wheelbase well enough?

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah. Still have it fitted nicely using the hardware included either with the wheel stand and/or the hardware with the wheel bundle.

[@pixel_edd]

Is there any oscillation issue during straights in GT7? Saw alot of ppl complaining regarding that.. Thank You! For the in depth explanation. I am on g29 but planning to buy either moza r5 or cammus c5

[@Doughtinator]

Hey man. It was great. But with new GT7 updates some of the group C cars do suffer. It’s ok if you hold the wheel. But if you let it go it can get quite a bit. New update 1.50 for GT7 today which might have improved this. I’ve not tied it yet tho.

[@pixel_edd]

@@Doughtinator thanks have bought a cammus C5 and waiting for it to be shipped

[@Doughtinator]

@eddmecha I have a C5 too. It’s very good. Great value. I think the oscillating for some of the cars happens with all FFB. So I expect there will be improvements from Gran Turismo 7

[@pixel_edd]

@@Doughtinator nice!! Glad to hear that..got it at a very cheap price where the price is much cheaper than the time i bought my G29..cant wait to try it out!

[@Doughtinator]

@eddmecha you’ll love it. Direct drive is such a huge improvement over G29. It feels so crisp and clear with the feedback 👍🏻

[@markpacker6951]

The up shift is sticky on my old g29. Might have to buy a new wheel. How much are they chriss

[@grahamkelly8662]

The r5 bundle is about £450

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah and then you need the adapter. Around another £100. It’s not a cheap option but the force feedback crispness and materials quality is a huge step up over G29 👍🏻

[@michapanczak258]

Great review! Detailed and exhaustive topic;; Is it WORTH IT?. Thanks a lot man! I was wondering for months: whether the failing Fanatec offering attractively priced sets, or SiMagic [still expensive], or maybe DD from Thrustmaster. I was already leaning towards Moz, but more towards R9. However, after your review I'm ordering R5. Why? I also used only G29 before :) Thanks manGreat review!

[@mattalford3932]

I wonder if a higher wattage power cable would deliver more torque like Fanitec wheel bases.

[@Doughtinator]

Perhaps. But I think it might be hard to find. Potential to overheat also.

[@filmkulubu]

you dont have f1 games i think can you try f1 20 21 23 24 etc ? they also do a bundle with r9 base.

[@Steve30x]

The title is misleading. This is a video from may 2024 but the title was renamed to a 2025 review. I would have watched this even if it said 2024 because I'm interested in this.

[@Doughtinator]

I’ve changed the title. I added it because everything in the video is still relevant in 2025. If I reviewed it again, in 2025. I’d say the exact same thing 👍🏻

[@mkatakm]

The best part is always unboxing.

[@Doughtinator]

Absolutely 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mkatakm]

​@@Doughtinatormeanwhile disassembling the old one makes me a bit sad. Maybe I am a bit too sentimental 😄

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Doesn't this need to be an R9 to provide decent feedback or do you think I will be ok with an R5. Seems a bit weak

[@Doughtinator]

I haven’t tried an R9. I assume it will be better. But the R5 feels very sharp and was strong enough for what I needed 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MeTaMaNvR]

Why would you need an R9 for decent feedback ? Weak ? A G920 is weak! LOL

[@MeTaMaNvR]

I watched another video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpW7f6Gjbd2lndk ) and the guy said after a year he did maybe want something a little bit more , but honestly the R5 is a great bit of kit mate!

[@dabneyoffermein595]

@@MeTaMaNvR maybe I'll do the R5, just don't want to sink too much money into a starting steering wheel , I do have big hands so I also don't want an undersized wheel. on the R5, what I'm hearing is that if I want to go to the EUROTRUCK sim wheel or the American Truck SImulator, that the replacement semi truck sized wheel will not work well with the R5 because it needs the R9, in other words, it would probably over-heat? or no?

[@dabneyoffermein595]

@@Doughtinator this might be a winner other than the smell of the wheel, I heard it's dodgy.

[@mattalford3932]

The clutch pedal is only like 59 dollars. The KS gt wheel I bought for my r5 bundle cost over 300 dollars lol.

[@Doughtinator]

I have the KS wheel too. It’s great 👍🏻👍🏻

[@wajietaus]

i cant stress this enough if you buy R5 bundle get a frame with it. Even the cheapest frame will do. cause pedals will be PAIN IN ASS if you use em without frame

[@Doughtinator]

^^ he’s right 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ikeeq]

Bro buttons are multifunctioning on ps5. can you help? badly needed

[@andsoitwas3046]

Those pedals look to be really high quality compared to the low-end ones that come with the Fanatec GT DD Pro bundle.. I guess Fanatec want people upgrade to their more expensive pedals later on so they don't provide them in their bundle?

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah I’m impressed with the pedals 👍🏻

[@TrueBlade-1889]

Why is my R5 not turning left and right / calibrating when I start it up ? My old Logitech did

[@Doughtinator]

It doesn’t need to do the full start up each time.
