Perfect vid m8 for ppl in my situation . Really thinking of purchasing the r5 bundle , and struggling to figure out if the added 130 euros added from resellers in my country (greece ) is worth it . Moza , although has plenty of european countries added to its distribution center , hasnt included mine ( not to my surprise ) , but the cost is hefty now . Good job man .

hi mate. I'm looking at buying an R9 from overclockers but a few of the bits I want show as pre-order. did you have that issue or were all of the bits you wanted in stock. just don't want to be waiting ages haha. I'm sure its a case of just waiting for them to receive more stock but the uncertainty is killing me! also delivery isn't showing as free for me

** Retrospective Video Notes ** 1) at 03:20 I mentioned there's more choice of steering wheels with R9 and above. All V2 wheels (and there's plenty of choice) are compatible with the R5 base, albeit, FFB quality may be impacted if the wheel is heavier. Used to not be the case, all good now. 2) Jimmy Broadbent saying he dials down his FFB to 3 or 4nm of torque ...there's a general assumption it's a tad higher.

I owned the R5, R12, and R21 from moza. I am able to overheat all of them if I use ‘bad’ settings. Or some games just produce more heat, F1 game series being a good example. For the R5 I set force feedback to 80% and set a desk fan pointing at the base and it fixed most overheat issues. The r12 and r21 at 100% is a lot for most people, I ran my r12 with overheating only happening in the most extreme driving. I run the r21 at 80% and haven’t overheated it (but definitely can at 100%) In conclusion, moza gives access to a lot of settings and incorrectly using them will make overheating be an issue, but moza does produce more heat than other manufacturers and unfortunately thermal dissipation is not their strong suit

I've ran this base on a few endurance races but i've yet to perform better than when I was on my g27 with my custom built gt wheel (750.5g without the QR) partially because I didn't like the "brake feel kit" they sold tome with these sets of pedals

Hey, funny you should mention firmware. I updated it a couple of evenings ago before baselining some setups. I ended up rolling back quite a long way to 1.2.0.84. The later versions offset my wheel by 3 degree for some weird reason that really bugged me (like having the tracking in your car off), and some other stuff. I need to spend an evening fully testing it with ACC and documenting my findings. It annoyed me so much it'll be my next video to vent probably 😁🤬

Hello just want to put this out here as I recently upgraded to Moza R12. Budget-ish for people who want a bit more power Wheel: Moza R12 with ES wheel or R9( don't own one but still good enough but heard there's a bit of overheating issue so maybe run 70-80% FFB) Pedals: G27 pedals with TrueBrake v2.2 mod Shifter: SHH Thorn shifter (have both Sequential and H pattern) *Not really budget when I think about it but I think this is the cheapest way you can really go to a mid-end setup

@JiriNovakCZАй бұрын
Just moving away from G920 pedals + TrueBrake mod after 6 months (hardest spring). I'm upgrading to Simsonn pedals - a budget option but should be good according to review. The Logitech pedals have too much play which is noisy. The springs got softer after a while, there is basically no travel at the end where you actually brake. I can do 2:18.0 at Spa or 1:48.0 at Monza in ACC with them, so the modded pedals are not bad. But honestly, if I wouldn't buy Logitech set again. Now, when MOZA R3 is out, there is no room for Logitech IMHO. Or spare for a more advanced equipment if not limited to consoles.

Fantastic long term update! These are honestly more important than day 1 review videos, especially for buyers. Whether a product is good or not really depends on if it's built well enough to last! I also ran a G27 for years and then upgraded to the R5 and ES wheel + formula mod, though I mounted it immediately to a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0. The stand allows me to use my Secret Lab chair thanks to its wheel tray which stops the chair from moving, so it's like just having the front half of a full rig without having to spend $$$ on a chair too, and it's fairly portable (Though very heavy). If you do end up pulling the trigger and upgrading to something more rigid/permanent, I'd highly recommend it. You'd also then have the option of upgrading to a full load cell pedal set down the line if you wish, which is honestly the biggest upgrade you could make from your current setup. The SR-P Lite pedals aren't much of an upgrade over the G27 pedals tbh. I paired my R5 with SimJack/SimRuito Pro Pedals (Ali Express) and they are probably the best bang for buck pedals you can get.

Keep flirting with the idea of buying it, Until they a couple of weeks later send you a 5% discount... Boom. I've ordered direct from Moza, Just for the reason nobody has them in stock in the U.K. and yes there is a massive postage cost.. £180ish if I remember correctly. I ordered on the 17th of May. Payment was taken via Credit card.. 27th I get an email saying my order had been canceled (remember payment has already been made) I e-mailed them, They said it was a system error and corrected it to "Pending" 2nd of May this has still not moved on so a second e-mail sent asking when it's going to be despatched (order was estimated at 8-20 working days) So we are now 17 days in and it's not even been dispatched. Today I get an e-mail saying it's being dispatched today and I'll get logistics notification within 3 days.... So the jury is still out. I switched to MOZA instead of fanatec due to their on going dramas, I hope I don't regret the decision. Final words...... MAKE SURE YOU PAY VIA CREDIT CARD.......

She's a keeper! Mine bought me a PS2 when we first started dating, she's now my wife 😁😇 I don't do massive FFB either, it's not the gym 😸
love the r5 one of the best beginner dd´s out there and easy to upgrade today i rdered the gt wheel mod for lmu and acc nice video good jop
Cheers, appreciated! Hope you enjoy the mod when it arrive! 🍻
** Retrospective Video Notes ** 1) at 03:20 I mentioned there's more choice of steering wheels with R9 and above. All V2 wheels (and there's plenty of choice) are compatible with the R5 base, albeit, FFB quality may be impacted if the wheel is heavier. Used to not be the case, all good now. 2) Jimmy Broadbent saying he dials down his FFB to 3 or 4nm of torque ...there's a general assumption it's a tad higher.
when you said... I wish my wife had small hands!! hahah good one and great vid with a lot of info
Cheers, appreciated! 😸
im pretty sure the R5 can take almost every wheel they offer now. it can take the v2 versions of the ones it couldnt before
YES! Not the case when I got it so a completely outdated comment. I'll get a comment up on screen at the point I mention "more choice of wheels", doh!!
Looks like after I get a PC, I'll start saving for this one. Been on a G920 for almost 4 years and I main ACC so it's gonna be a huge upgrade
Yeah, it's a journey acquiring all the bits for most, including myself. Whatever DD you get out there you won't be disappointed after a belt driven wheel 😎
Just ordered mine Can’t wait 😁
Good choice :)
If you are into FH 5 give these settings a try. Forza Horizon 5 advanced settings. vibration scale .3 If this is set too high driving through water and landing big jumps will cause painful vibration through the wheel.

Hey! ACC at the start, RENNSPORT later in the vid via my closed beta invite I received not too long ago. They're dishing out about 20k of them every week/month now (can't remember which), so if you're interested you can sign up and hopefully get an invite at some point.
I have the Mozza R5 wheelbase and pedal kit and it is amazing. Not really any videos on how to set up the Mozza pit house software and how to fine-tune the wheel settings for certain games like NASCAR heat five most videos are geared toward formula 1 iRacing, etc which is a debbie downer
Used to love NASCAR racing on my first PC! There are a bunch of presets for different games included in the Pithouse software. I've sometimes paused games and switched the profiles to test them all out. Quickly narrows down a decent baseline to work with I found.
I don't get the fanatec issues tbh. I ordered a couple days ago and they started processing my order for delivery today already. The value of the cls DD with a powersupply brick from aliexpress for 35 euro to get 8NM is not beatable by moza.
watch Ermz video from about a month ago he covers the fanatec situation.
Would have got the same if they'd been in stock and likely not been disappointed! Dodgy order fulfilment and the company going through financial and leadership change. Probably won't go under, but when you're spending that amount of dosh, the noises of uncertainty are a definite purchasing factor. Glad it's worked out well for you though, plenty of amazing DDs these days 🍻
why are the brake & gas pedal so further apart?
Comfort for right and left foot on each pedal, but you can move them around to any config you fancy
R5 is maybe one of the worst on the market .Dont buy it . overheat in like 30 min max and you lose FFB
If you can drop me your FFB settings being used and I can replicate it, that'd be interesting. Haven't personally noticed a drop in FFB when hot and a prolonged stint.
@@tompsmith can we do it privet ?
@@suspektgaming7333 sure, you can find me on Discord under Smithy81
@@tompsmith send my name is Lil Sus
I owned the R5, R12, and R21 from moza. I am able to overheat all of them if I use ‘bad’ settings. Or some games just produce more heat, F1 game series being a good example. For the R5 I set force feedback to 80% and set a desk fan pointing at the base and it fixed most overheat issues. The r12 and r21 at 100% is a lot for most people, I ran my r12 with overheating only happening in the most extreme driving. I run the r21 at 80% and haven’t overheated it (but definitely can at 100%) In conclusion, moza gives access to a lot of settings and incorrectly using them will make overheating be an issue, but moza does produce more heat than other manufacturers and unfortunately thermal dissipation is not their strong suit
The wife's hands comment took me out!
my assumption is she'll never see this 😂
ahaaaa me Too 🤣🤣
Which firmware version were u using for this review? I noticed that the FFB was a lot higher with the latest few versions of the wheelbase firmware. I've ran this base on a few endurance races but i've yet to perform better than when I was on my g27 with my custom built gt wheel (750.5g without the QR) partially because I didn't like the "brake feel kit" they sold tome with these sets of pedals
Hey, funny you should mention firmware. I updated it a couple of evenings ago before baselining some setups. I ended up rolling back quite a long way to 1.2.0.84. The later versions offset my wheel by 3 degree for some weird reason that really bugged me (like having the tracking in your car off), and some other stuff. I need to spend an evening fully testing it with ACC and documenting my findings. It annoyed me so much it'll be my next video to vent probably 😁🤬
Thank you so much , gonna get a moza because of this video
This is nice to hear, glad it aided some of your research and suits you and your setup. Hope you find yourself a good deal from somewhere 🤑 Plenty of KZreadrs with affiliate stuff for a discount buying from certain retailers, hunt around to save a few quid!
@@tompsmith thanks man love the moza r5 ended up getting in store for a better deal
8 Nm dialed to 6Nm is the sweet spot for me if yu re racing 1-2 times per week
so how loud would you say the shifter noise is?
I have the bundle for a week now, shifters are quite loud id say but you dont get to hear them when wearing a headset. the only problem there is in cases where you have other people sleeping in the next room.
Yah, not too much louder than clicking a pen, just at a higher pitch is the only way I can think of describing it 🔊
I get that squeaky noises from my throttle, how do you fix it?
just some white grease at the joint did the trick for me
Hopefully Corsair will stabilize Fanatec, I still have 15 months warranty on my CSL wheel.
May i ask if the performance upgrade for the brake pedal fits on the throttle?
Yah, all the pedals are the same essentially, so it'll fit any of them.
omg thank you so much, i have the little spring inside the wheel laying around, I didn't even know what its for until I watch this video 😭
😂 ...I don't actually know if it does anything useful, doesn't sound like you've missed it
Hello just want to put this out here as I recently upgraded to Moza R12. Budget-ish for people who want a bit more power Wheel: Moza R12 with ES wheel or R9( don't own one but still good enough but heard there's a bit of overheating issue so maybe run 70-80% FFB) Pedals: G27 pedals with TrueBrake v2.2 mod Shifter: SHH Thorn shifter (have both Sequential and H pattern) *Not really budget when I think about it but I think this is the cheapest way you can really go to a mid-end setup
Just checked out some TrueBrake v2.2 mod vids on KZread, not seen that one before, looks good. A lot of people seem to have footwear for braking, but I like playing in my socks, so probably influences my light pedal preference 😁 Good mix of kit though
Just moving away from G920 pedals + TrueBrake mod after 6 months (hardest spring). I'm upgrading to Simsonn pedals - a budget option but should be good according to review. The Logitech pedals have too much play which is noisy. The springs got softer after a while, there is basically no travel at the end where you actually brake. I can do 2:18.0 at Spa or 1:48.0 at Monza in ACC with them, so the modded pedals are not bad. But honestly, if I wouldn't buy Logitech set again. Now, when MOZA R3 is out, there is no room for Logitech IMHO. Or spare for a more advanced equipment if not limited to consoles.
great vdo mate
What are you pithouse settings for rennsport? The ffb update ruined everything for me and I cant find decent settings online. Great review by the way!
Hey! If you're on the RENNSPORT Discord server, you should be in the Closed Beta invite only group. I can look at posting my latest settings to the 'recommended-settings' thread this evening if I can tweak them to a more satisfactory point. I feel like what I'm using is a bit make do, but worried the next update will blitz it again 😬
@@tompsmith alright thank you so much!
You might want to test the Alien Mods loadcell kit for the SRP Lites
Caught a review of those today by Michael Smith weirdly enough, they look cool 👍🍻
@@tompsmith there's a contact form on the website. If you're interested and would like to test it I can send you one too 🍻
Take that Jimmer clip with 2 forklifts of salt. ANyone watching him knows he runs his bases at way more than 3-4NM 🤣. Universally youtubers agree 10-14NM is the best place to be. I personally dont wanna spend 1000 euros on my setup so im eyeing down R9 + KS (what a beauty of a wheel !)
Yeah I'm pretty sure the 3-4nm was in context of rally only
Think dave cam is on 6nm?! And jimmy has said that sweetspot is around 6-9nm but real cars has around 10-12nm. Not 100% sure about the numbers as it was a while I saw he's clips
@@snippidippi I went through a lot of videos in the past 2 months of wanting a DD so bad :D but one of the guys has to have low FFB becuase of his past injury/arm issue, it might be Dave tho. Im surprised about Jimmer, used to watch him a lot before he moved to his own house and got moza sponsor him.
ahhhh, I can't tell you how long I thought about challenging this as it sounded dodge as soon as he said it. From watching these guys stream I'd have guessed between 5 and 10 somewhere certainly. I gave up thinking about it in the end and just rolled with it, but knew it'd be picked up on, and rightly so 😁 Every other piece of kit I've had a go on has been at least 6, and my hands were hurting after the last one which nearer double figures I imagine (ACC rigs at Insomnia event at the NEC).
Driving at 12nm fanatec dd and i do feel like i need more. Also games like acc you need high nm base to avoid clipping. Going from 12nm to even 9 feels like a toy
The Moza R5 is the best wheelbase or bundle you can have today! The quality is amazing-I've had it for 6 months with zero problems. The SRP-Lite pedals are the only thing that isn't great, but with some modifications, you can solve that!
Could you explain why aren't they great? I would like to buy them in the future
@@tnwmlhhhpeople want load cell ones but if you are not bothered too much about that then the pedals are great! I really love them how they are ngl
@@tnwmlhhh The pedals that come with the Moza R5 Bundle are the lite version of the Moza pedals. The issue is the "soft" feeling and resistance they have (for my taste). They require modifications to function decently well. In my case, I use 3DRAP Mods for the accelerator and the brake. This translates to a better performance in terms of feel. Obviously, the bundle pedals work perfectly to enjoy sim racing, but one always wants more!
@@fernandoalcayaga8341 thanks for the response!
I just bought the R5 bundle and made the mistake of buying the regular SRP pedals, not the SRP ***LITE*** pedals it made me pretty frustrated when I found out there is a software lockout for the SRP clutch with the SRP lite pedals. That was a major issue for me as I don't want to spend $60 Canadian plus $49 shipping from moza since no where seems to carry the lite clutch. Biggest scam imo because the clutch connects perfectly to the srp lite pedals 😂
R5 is a great starter but for anyone wanting to get something more, better to look elsewhere. Go Simagic, Asetek, Simucube instead.
love my r5 i use the ks wheel with it
Do you guys think that a srp lite with brake mod is better or worse than a TCLM?
IMO if u have TLCMs u dont wanna go for a entry-level bundled pedals.... (I own TLCM) Make significant upgrades, dont tip toe 10 times to get where u need to be. Upgrade once a year or two years instead of 3 times per year AKA "buy once cry once". U should aim for Simagic P1000 price range...
Had to send my R5 back as it was faulty. They now don’t sell it on its own so I have to decide whether to go and get the more expensive R9 or 12. Very disappointed
R9 = 15bit encoder , same as R5 sadly R12 I cannot find any encoder info anywhere but if it did have higher bit encoder it would be a great buy as with R9 u will be clipping the FFB once u start wanting to run the base at 100% FFB :/. I would not buy r5 as thats entry level for those who sim race for 6-12months and then quit. Anyone else will want more power from their wheel.
Did you send it back to MOZA or a retailer? Mad they can't replace it like-for-like ...but hopefully it's not a massive amount more for a wheel base upgrade 😬😬😬😬
Fantastic long term update! These are honestly more important than day 1 review videos, especially for buyers. Whether a product is good or not really depends on if it's built well enough to last! I also ran a G27 for years and then upgraded to the R5 and ES wheel + formula mod, though I mounted it immediately to a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0. The stand allows me to use my Secret Lab chair thanks to its wheel tray which stops the chair from moving, so it's like just having the front half of a full rig without having to spend $$$ on a chair too, and it's fairly portable (Though very heavy). If you do end up pulling the trigger and upgrading to something more rigid/permanent, I'd highly recommend it. You'd also then have the option of upgrading to a full load cell pedal set down the line if you wish, which is honestly the biggest upgrade you could make from your current setup. The SR-P Lite pedals aren't much of an upgrade over the G27 pedals tbh. I paired my R5 with SimJack/SimRuito Pro Pedals (Ali Express) and they are probably the best bang for buck pedals you can get.
Appreciated 🍻 Next Level gear has hit my radar actually and cheers for the heads up on pedal options, comment sections are great for figuring out where all my money is going next 🙃 I said to myself that pedals may be the last upgrade I look at, but if I do, I've always wanted the vibes when I hit ABS ...although those options are a bit pricey, I still might! 😇
I've ordered the R12 and KS wheel direct from Moza... Couple of little points.. If you go through to the check out and then leave after putting in e-mail etc. Not long after you'll get an e-mail saying you've not completed. Keep flirting with the idea of buying it, Until they a couple of weeks later send you a 5% discount... Boom. I've ordered direct from Moza, Just for the reason nobody has them in stock in the U.K. and yes there is a massive postage cost.. £180ish if I remember correctly. I ordered on the 17th of May. Payment was taken via Credit card.. 27th I get an email saying my order had been canceled (remember payment has already been made) I e-mailed them, They said it was a system error and corrected it to "Pending" 2nd of May this has still not moved on so a second e-mail sent asking when it's going to be despatched (order was estimated at 8-20 working days) So we are now 17 days in and it's not even been dispatched. Today I get an e-mail saying it's being dispatched today and I'll get logistics notification within 3 days.... So the jury is still out. I switched to MOZA instead of fanatec due to their on going dramas, I hope I don't regret the decision. Final words...... MAKE SURE YOU PAY VIA CREDIT CARD.......
Took 2 weeks for my order to arrive directly from them, so hopefully it's with you by now and you're enjoying the thing! 🍻🍻🍻
Moza R5 is magnificent piece of kit. Well recommended.
