    Hey! Thanks for this great review! I have already ordered the R12 but getting some more knowledge about the wheel and settings is always welcome, and you explained everything very well to someone new to DD wheels ( Coming from T500rs ). Sadly the delivery time in here in Scandinavia ( Norway, Sweden, Denmark ) is very long and I must wait roughly 10-12 weeks for shops to get the R12 in stock. Its a very popular wheel and Moza needs to up production. I already have the Moza Shifter, CS C2 Wheel and load cell pedals + Next Level Racing GTTtrack rig. The wait is killing me :D

    I’m trying to decide between Moza and simagic ecosystem. When all said and done simagic will be approximately double the price for everything I plan to purchase. Thank you for a great video review. I’m now leaning toward Moza as I can’t see that approx double the money will give me double the entertainment.

    Does the SRP pedal RJ cable work with the base now or does it still have to be plugged in via USB? I've been reading that it doesn't work with the base port as of yet. How does it compare with the T818 in terms of FFB?

  • @simracingden

    @simracingden

    11 ай бұрын

    I'm uncertain because I haven't had the chance to test it with SRP pedals. However, I'll reach out to my Moza contact for clarification. When comparing it to the T818, I found the R12 to be a significantly better overall experience. Given the choice, I would prefer the R12 over the T818 any time.

    asked Moza directly and they said it can be USB or you can just a USB to RJ45 adapter to connect the pedals directly to the hub or wheelbase.

    From what I’ve read from others online, people who have the Alpha Mini love it and criticise the R9/R12, but that could be their biases shining through. Not many people criticise the performance of the Alpha/Alpha Mini. I’ve not tried either. I will not buy a Simagic product because of their customer service strategy and what I’ve heard about their PR practises. There are lots of different pros/cons of different brands and models. There is no “best” wheelbase and what someone else prioritises in one may not be a priority for you.

    Seems like MOZA doesn't need fancy advertising sell their products unlike other companies. Just make good products and have good customer service and that's what they are doing. Listening to customers about the hardware want included in their product range for all types of driving sims.

    Zzzzzzzz standard review WEEKS late!!!! Not your fault Mr content creator. Sim racing is basically at a stand still and nothing is really new. Adding a tad bit more power isn't something to write about. Rim not tested on other wheel bases. No 3rd party wheels tested on the base. This is just more fluff advertisement!!! Disappointing good sir. 😊

    I received the wheelbase from Moza later than expected. Unfortunately, my graphics card failed, causing additional delays in finishing the review. Moza also missed sending the hubs and accessories, which means I can't test it on third-party items yet. However, I'll create a follow-up video and anticipate that it will perform as expected.
