MOZA R5 Bundle

Product Information

Depending on what sim-racing titles you are playing, there may be some additional setup required. To get up and running in Forza Horizon 5, for example, some configuration files need to be manually added to the game folders before the wheel will be recognized inside of the game. Considering how easy it is to get up and running with the Logitech gear, it’s a bit of a bummer to have these extra steps on the Moza setup. As well as offering a huge range of functionality, the R5 wheelbase is built to last and is reliable throughout even the longest endurance races. The aviation grade aluminium casing is incredibly durable and houses an intelligent temperature control system which keeps all the important components cool and protected. The base and the steering wheel are connected through a military-grade conductive slip ring with a life of 5 million revolutions. This unique patented design feature grants extremely high stability and durability while still allowing for high-speed rotation. A - Yes! The MOZA racing R5 wheel base is a great introduction to direct drive wheel bases. Q - Is the MOZA R5 Wheel Base easy to set up? There’s almost not as much else to say when it comes to the overall feeling, as the R5 does pretty much what it says on the tin, which is a good thing. Paying a premium for more torque sometimes doesn’t appear to be the best call for some users, but perhaps having a touch of headroom would be good to enable some smaller, yet stronger sensations. MOZA prides itself on developing cutting-edge sim racing products that will go the distance. With extensive consultation from professional racing engineers, drivers, and sim-racers throughout the R&D process, MOZA products deliver a high-quality sim racing experience.

The R5 is smaller than the already small R9. This is great news as it makes it very easy to get your screen nice and close to the wheel, especially when using the included table clamp.

Pit House has been developed with a number of simulator games for plug and play integration. These include: Between the quiet operation, high build quality, consistent feel across sim racing titles, sublime smoothness and surprising fidelity, I can’t see anyone being disappointed for the price. Especially if a cheap brake pedal mod becomes available, which we are sure is only a matter of time.

That means that the wheel will keep spinning but max angles can be set via the Moza Pit House app if a hard stop is necessary. Thanks to the intelligent cooling system, you don't have to worry about the engine overheating. Built-in sensors ensure that the motor stays cool enough even in competition situations. The aluminum housing also supports cooling with its cooling fins.Another thing to note is that many of those other wheel and pedal bundles have specific models that will work with consoles, and the Moza Racing gear will only work on PC. Depending on what you play, that could be a deal breaker. 9toToys’ Take

We mounted the R5 to both the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 and the Trak Racer FS3. The R5 could be mounted using all four threads thanks to its mounting plate, whereas the Wheel Stand 2.0 only lined up with two. With only 5.5Nm of torque being exerted, provided you’ve screwed things in properly, two screws aren’t the end of the world. You’ll be fine.One large difference between the existing MOZA range and the R5 bundle is that, rather than pedals requiring a separate USB input to your PC, the SRP Lites plug directly into the base via CAT 5 cable. This simplifies it all down to just one USB connection rather than two. Looking to fine tune your outputs when racing? This bundle is fully supported by the MOZA Pit House software which allows you to make precision adjustments to get the most out of your wheel and pedals. What’s more, select products can be adjust utilising the companion smartphone app. Instead of reaching for your mouse and keyboard mid-race, you can make on-the-fly adjustments with the app. The ES Steering Wheel is manufactured from premium materials, including microfibre leather for the grips and aluminium alloy for the frame. Chosen for their durable properties, these materials enhance the longevity of the steering wheel. Since that first sim racing video, I’ve had a blast diving deeper into the virtual racing world, though to really be competitive I’d have to dedicate a lot more time. I play more casually so I’ve been enjoying ACC campaigns, Forza Horizon 5, and drifting in Assetto Corsa. I am really looking forward to the new Forza Motorsport and plan on sinking some serious hours into that title when it releases in October.

Lightweight, customisable and durable, the ES steering wheel features specially selected materials such as microfiber leather grips and a sleek aluminium alloy frame. Enjoy complete control at your fingertips with 22 fully programmable buttons alongside MOZA’s signature flow light design to ensure every shift is just right. This budget friendly steering wheel consistently delivers a reliable and comfortable sim racing experience tailored to your own requirements. So, what about the user experience. As stated above, the R9 is more than powerful enough for most users and provides ample detail too. Despite it being a weighty bit of kit, it's not huge and will happily sit on most rigs without issue. The included software is more than capable of setting the base up to how you like it though may not be the most intuitive software ever. You'll need to have a play to get it where you want it though there are plenty of videos and guides to help with this. By comparison, the CSL DD and GT DD Pro have a slight underlying sensation of grain as you rotate the wheel. Although you really have to pay attention to notice it. A performance focused powerhouse, the R9 produces up to 9Nm of Torque, beating out its closest competitors such as Fanatec and Thrustmaster. This streamlined and sleek direct drive wheel base is compact, powerful and built with high quality materials. A - The included steering wheel, pedals and table clamp lets you simply plug in and play. Start racing straight away without any other peripherals. Q - Is there a recommended GT Omega Product for the R5 bundle?On the surface the R5 is constructed very similarly to the R9. Both of which have an aviation grade aluminum shell with plastic rear housing. Take your racing setup to the next level with the MOZA R5 Direct Drive Wheelbase . The steering wheel base ensures that you dive even deeper into the action of the race and thus receive an immersive simulation that is second to none. While the brake pedal left something to be desired, overall the R5 bundle is exceptional value. It is well suited to those looking for a gateway into sim racing Or as an upgrade from a more entry level belt or cog driven setup.
