The Perfect Racing Sim Starter Pack!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.THIS… IS the Moza Racing R5, a ‘beginner’ racing simulation bundle with a wheel and pedal setup (no clutch). Moza is known for their high end systems but they also make really good entry level setups across several sims (racing, flying and even trucking). With a modular system design, this may be the best ‘entry level’ bundle I have seen… so lets take a look! Before opening the box, just carrying it, I am somewhat shocked with the heft that is carried over when taking it out of the box. The motor that moves the steering wheel is -legit- and made very well. Everything is finished with nice materials and a sturdy design on first glance, and I loved touting the steering wheel around the house as if I am now a mythical racer. Now there is a bit of assembly, but nothing spectacular. You have to mount the direct drive wheel base to the bracket that clamps to your desk, and this is one of my only other gripes outside of one other that I will mention later on. Setup can be done with a video tutorial or a small booklet, I would recommend the video as the booklet is more suggestions than a walkthrough… but it really is only 4 screws and the steering wheel. Mounting the steering wheel was shockingly easy; you only have to align a few markers and push in. The pedals came assembled, however, they are adjustable and I did move the foot pedals closer together to feel more natural to my race car at home (my kia). The pedals really are my only gripe on this system. It is more a pedals on a carpet problem than a Moza pedal issue but for me... this is going on the carpet. I assume many other people will also be placing this on rugs or carpet as well, and it just causes wobbles unless you place the pedals far apart or your feet perfectly. On carpet you also have to worry about the pedals sinking back into the carpet and tipping if you place your feet too high on the pedals which is rather annoying. I was able to easily mitigate this with two 2x4 that I painted black and screwed in where the pedals can go (photo attached) and this cured it. I think this is somewhat annoying, but to be expected on carpet. If it is something that's continuing to be annoying, I would recommend upgrading the pedals to the Moza CRP2 as this would completely resolve your issue... and I am LOOKING for a reason to upgrade this. All that being said, this is a known issue with pedals on carpet regardless of the brand so don't think this is exclusive to Moza, but there is an easy fix. Ok now that I have jabbered on enough - let's get to the reason we are here. How does it DRIVE? It is ~ f a n t a s t i c ~ The wheel feels fantastic with hand stitched leather, the paddles click oh so good and the direct drive motor? Fantastic. I played forza until 1am on a work night kind of good - wow we are getting old :,) Every car had a new handling line, driving in dirt drove like it was… in dirt. It wasn’t just harder than driving with a controller (it's way harder), it's ACCURATE. Driving on dirt, fishtailing and spinning out made me feel like a rookie again. The Direct Drive motor puts out about 5nm of torque, which is enough to feel the road but not enough to rip the wheel out of my hands. Back to everything being modular, everything can be upgraded with time. New wheel? easy. New pedals? Done. Only want to upgrade your direct drive system? Simple. The software attached to Moza’s system also makes it really easy to set up, and configuring the simulator with the different racing games and is really not hard at all. Setup including build time took me about 30 minutes from box to in game racing. Overall, this has easily been one of my favorite products that I have reviewed … kinda ever? Out of the box I really was impressed from start to end and it really left me needing nothing else but loving it so much I wanted to upgrade everything. The foot pedals are tricky but not impossible and I really struggled to find anything I didn’t like. There is a steep learning curve going from a controller to a steering wheel simulator, but don’t let that discourage you from just how much fun it is! Even if that fun is fishtailing every turn and head on crashes for a while, it gets better I promise lol! Take advantage of BestBuy's return policy, give it a try… its sooo much fun! Till next time :)

Brilliant... Once You Get It Set Up
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SETUP 6.5/10: I struggled with the setup originally. Part of that was because when I first downloaded the software it launched in Chinese (even though I got it off the English site) and then forced me to go through some configurations that I had no idea about as I couldn’t read it. But I couldn’t change the language before I went through everything. Causing me to setup things incorrectly which then made the game not work correctly. As they do claim this is a “plug-and-play” device. Which is mostly true if you know what you’re doing. I highly advise going to their website and reading through their instructions for the game you are playing. As they go step by step and are easy to follow and include pictures. For Forza Horizon 5 (which is the game I did my testing on) you need to enable a setting to point to the wheelbase. And there is a preset you can download for controls. Which takes about 5 minutes to complete and then you should be good to go. You can go also access the instruction by opening the software, going to the game you want on the right hand side, and then clicking config. Which either will do it automatically, or show you how to do it manually. As for the attaching the direct drive system, pedals, etc. Extremely easy to setup and really is just plug and play. The steering wheel is frustrating as it doesn’t clip on easily or come off all that easily. And most of the time when I thought it was on as it made a loud clicking and wouldn’t come loose. But then I would start a game and it would freak out, the wheel would fall off, and then I’d have to scramble to get it back on. After looking into this issue, it isn’t just me. I guess it requires a very deliberate action to ensure it's locked securely, and it's possible to get a 'false positive' click. It's not a simple clip; it requires aligning the pins and then ensuring the collar is fully tightened. Compared to more simplistic mounting systems. Such as the Turtle Beach Velocity Steering Wheel which I have no problems with. I also like that the ethernet port (for the pedals to connect to the main drive system) is on the left-hand side (can be moved to the right) which means when I push the pedals against something I’m not going to break the port. The rest of the ports come straight off the back. Single power cable for everything. R5 WHEEL BASE/MOTOR 8.5/10: This is what translates the virtual world into sensations you can feel. The Direct Drive System (DD) mounts directly to the wheel helping you get the most detail feedback possible. It provides Force Feedback (FFB). Which translates as force to the wheel to simulate the feeling of driving a real car. Which includes resistance when turning, jolts from bumps, curbs, going off road, and pull and tug of the car’s tires interacting with the asphalt to help prevent over/under steer. It comes with a 5.5 newton-meter (Nm) of torque. Which is a measure of rotational force the wheel can produce. 5.5 Nm is on the lower end of DD systems. Which go up to 21 Nm (with their R21 model). Which is significantly better than non-DD wheels. Giving you enough detail without being overwhelming or fatiguing and perfect for beginners. This is coming in on their lower end (R3, R5, R9, R12, R16, R21). But still does a great job at allowing you to feel the different textures. I used Forza Horizon 5 for my testing, which is more arcade than simulator making some of the sensations felt be less accurate than the true simulator games like Forza Motorsport or Assetto Corsa. As those have better physics and the wheel can only translate the information the game provides. Making me think those games would do a superior job in the way things feel. With that disclaimer out of the way, the wheel did an excellent job communicating road textures, but the feedback for loss of traction felt slightly delayed. I felt the Turtle Beach wheel did that particular part a bit better. But feel like this is far more accurate and responsive than that wheel. And the shifting is dramatically better. Also, not sure how good the Forza Horizon series is in detailed delivery. Overall, I really enjoy the feel of this wheel base. It is also compact making it very easy to store somewhere and then setup. Which that alone is HUGE. As anything that allows you to spend less time setting up and tearing down makes it so you are more likely to actually use it. The same goes with the pedals. STEERING WHEEL 9/10: I’m a big fan of this steering wheel. It feels high quality. It is their ES variant. The marketing reports it’s an 11-inch D shaped gaming wheel with microfiber leather grips, aluminum alloy rim, and 22 customizable buttons. It has a racing-level quick release system which I have a lot of problems with (see setup section, second paragraph). And RGB sequential flow shift light. I think it is very comfortable. All of the buttons feel high quality like a high-quality controller. Where they aren’t loose in the housing, have good travel, with good tactile bumps, and are satisfying to press. The shifting paddles are excellent giving a good amount of movement, while being stiff, and are very responsive while being made from metal. Never had any issues with the shifting paddles or buttons not registering in game. The RGB on the front can be configured for shifting. Though, I’m not sure how you would be able to see that when you’re watching the game. But I like that it is configurable, and make it feel more cockpit like for those not using onscreen HUD, or those who stream their gameplay. Overall, no complaints here outside of the mount being finicky. SR-P LITE PEDALS 7/10: This bundle comes with the SR-P Lite pedals. You can adjust the spacing of the pedals. Along with it having room to buy a clutch pedal separately. This is the next critical aspect to get a good feel and simulator experience. They use high precision hall effect sensors to measure the position of the pedal. Making it so your gas/breaking is measured on how far you press each respective pedal. Which translates more to how you would pull the trigger on a controller but with your feet instead. I found them to be extremely accurate and responsive in game. They are made from high strength steel. Feel very smooth. They are pure metal without any rubber or anything. Except for on the bottom which has four small square rubber pads to help prevent slippage. Which on my carpet didn’t do a great job as they constantly moved further and further away as I was playing. It is best to brace it against a wall or something to prevent it from moving. With these being “lite” they are not load cell pedals. Which are more realistic pedals and give increased pressure, or adjustable pressure to feel more realistic. Along with making it so the harder pressure you press the more aggressive the braking is instead of how far it travels, making it more intuitive. But Moza has a ton of separate upgrades you can get, like the ‘Performance Kit’, which includes a load cell that you can purchase later if you’re getting more into the racing scene. If you are just getting into the scene, the normal SR-P lite pedals are a great entry. If you know you will be using this wheel all the time, only play racing games or they are your primary titles, or are planning on getting a full on rig, it is best to immediately get this upgrade. MOZA PIT HOUSE SOFTWARE 9/10: I’m not going to go too in-depth with the software. As I think a tutorial on YouTube would give you better overview. But essentially, this is the software component that allows you to do a lot of customization. Such as adjusting the force feedback which includes strength, smoothness, and other effects. Along with creating different profiles for different games or cars. You can adjust the pedal dead zones and sensitivity. Update firmware. Launch games directly. Or setup certain configs for a game. Overall, this is a rich software. It is relatively easy to navigate. I like that on the right side it shows all the officially supported games. OTHER: It works for just PC. Does NOT work on Xbox or PlayStation. 2-year warranty. You can customize and build upon this. As Moza sells a TON of extra pieces that you can make a full-on racing simulator if you want piece by piece. And if they all have the same quality as this set, then I can see why they are popular. Overall, this is an excellent starter if you are wanting to get into the scene. With very high quality components, that work well, are customizable, both to make it more comfortable, and to upgrade to be more complex. I don’t see anything breaking easily or any time soon. Making it so investing in this should work. Also, with an centralized ecosystem it means they shouldn’t be going out of date any time soon. And with them doing one thing, means updates, and software should continue to evolve and get better.

Love the direct drive, wish the pedals were better
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up the Moza R5 Racing Wheel as an upgrade for an older, entry level wheel. This review is based on a few days of PC gaming use and my initial impression from 2 games. TL:DR - The R5 wheel is beefy, the feel, size, and weight are leaps and bounds above what you could get at this price point 3+ years ago. The direct drive function is a must have for an immersive experience, and the software customization allows for complete and nearly total control of your experience. The downside is that the software isn't the easiest to navigate and configure and the foot pedals do not offer the same realistic experience as the wheel. Pros: Direct Drive - I love the force on the wheel and how realistic the response feels Customization of throttle and brake, does not have to be linear, can set response thresholds Build is well constructed with good weighting and smooth action Cons: Lack of adjustment - I'm 5'5", would have preferred there was some angle adjustment to the wheel, it's pointed a bit higher than feels natural for me. No resistance on the brake pedal, can be upgraded, but at additional cost. Software setup and tuning is more cumbersome than necessary. Installation is straight forward, the wheel can mount to either a desk or cockpit setup. I do have a partial cockpit build, but primarily tested on the desk, due to the wheel not having an adjustable tilt. Next you'll want to move the foot pedals to where you want for spacing, attach cables to the brake and throttle, and install the Moza Pit House (referred to as PH going forward) software. Took about 15 minutes to set up and get up and running. I tested this setup on both Assetto Corssa and Forza Horizon 5, both games I've played before with my older wheel. A few things that stood out is that the force feedback feels natural such that when I go off course I immediately feel rumbling in the wheel with no latency. Additionally, the force isn't over driven, but the right amount for the game. However, if I want to reduce the level of force I can through the Moza PH. Second, this build is solid, it seats sturdy to the desk / cockpit, the material is heavy duty both in the frame as well as the wheel itself. The wheel has a led indicator bar on top for RPMs, and can be customized for where it transitions between green, yellow, and red. The RPM bar isn't super bright, so it's not distracting for dark rooms, and nearly blends in if you aren't focused on it in bright rooms. The paddle shifters have a nice audible click and force, so you know that the shifter has been activated. Lastly there are nearly unlimited options for the buttons, key binding is at your discretion and configurable by game. As for performance, the customization afforded by the software is the star here. You can (and will want to) customize the software to each game, which will be saved and recalled as you move between the games. If you are an absolute beginner, you may want to start with the preset modes, which offer everything from rally to GT and Formula 1 options. Manual software controls include max steering wheel rotation, force and return speed of your direct drive, break / throttle min / max limits, and key binding. In PH you can adjust the braking and throttle power response curve. Unfortunately I found that this only got me so far in a true to life feel, as I expected brake resistance in the pedals. Lastly, the response is top notch, there is no lag or latency in response, both in the wheel as well as the force response. A few things to consider, if you are more serious about your racing setup, Moza offers upgrades, to include a pedal performance kit, clutch, handbrake, and shifter. I highly recommend the pedal upgrade, as it adds in a load cell and provides the resistance that makes the brake feel more realistic. Regardless of what you want to add in, all components are directly connected with dedicated ports, so no trades offs required. There are also other size and shaped wheels that can be swapped for the 11" wheel that is included. Not gaming related, but one consideration is that the force feedback is real, in my setup it's attached to a desk that is upstairs. The vibrations translate through the desk and floor and can be heard and felt downstairs. The sound is similar to pulling up alongside a vehicle with a large subwoofer, the low reverberations travel beyond your desk. For this reason, you may need a dampening mat if playing against a shared wall or apartment setting, or be willing to turn down the force level. Overall I love this wheel and the direct drive, it's semi-intuitive to use straight out of the box, but also easy to customize if you've been racing and know what you prefer. I do wish I could have gotten this bundle with an upgraded pedal system or purchased separately to have the same quality feel from the pedals that I do in the wheel.

Premium Feel, Great Performance, Entry Price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Moza racing wheel is truly impressive and built to a high standard. Right away, you’ll notice the excellent build quality from the steering wheel to the wheelbase and pedals. The steering wheel feels solid and premium. I’m not sure if it’s actual leather, but it has a smooth, cool touch and provides great grip without slipping. The wheelbase is hefty, about 7 to 8 pounds, which adds to the feeling of durability and stability. The included pedals are made of steel and feature non-slip rubber feet for added grip. This bundle includes the ES Steering Wheel, R5 Wheelbase, and SR-P Lite Pedals (note: it doesn’t include a clutch pedal, but one can be added later). The assembly was straightforward. The only component that required screws was the wheelbase, which I mounted on the included table clamp. Attaching the steering wheel was as simple as aligning the ball bearings with the holes on the wheel base, and giving it a twist to lock into place. The remaining connections were an Ethernet cable from the pedals to the base and a USB-B to USB-A cable from the base to the PC. I was surprised that such a premium setup used USB-B, but it worked reliably. The rear of the wheelbase has ports for expansion: dashboards, handbrakes, shifters, and an e-stop, along with connectors for power, pedals, and the USB connection. Although the hardware feels plug-and-play, setting it up may take a bit more effort. You’ll need to download the Moza Pit House software from the manufacturer’s website, update the firmware, and run through the calibration steps. While many racing titles support the wheel out of the box, some like Forza Horizon 5 took me some time of manual configuration. Getting Forza to work involved placing three specific files in different game folders and enabling UDP ports. Thankfully, Moza’s website provides detailed, step-by-step instructions that make the process manageable. Once you’ve done it once, future setups are quicker. Once everything is up and running, the racing experience is phenomenal. The force feedback delivers realistic road feel, and the paddle shifters are fast and responsive. Acceleration and braking are smooth and accurate, though I found the brake pedal a bit stiff by default, you can easily adjust it via the software. I also tweaked the footrest for added comfort and fine-tuned the throttle response in the app. The wheel features shift indicator LEDs, and they sync perfectly with gameplay. Compared to another wheel I own from a different brand, the Moza setup felt far more immersive, premium and refined. Overall, though this might be one of Moza’s entry-level bundles, it performs well beyond that category. It’s a great fit for sim racing enthusiasts who want premium build quality without jumping into ultra high end gear. Whether you're a beginner looking to get serious or a mid-level racer upgrading from a basic wheel, this bundle delivers impressive value.The build quality is top notch, and while the software setup can be a bit technical for some, the results are worth it. With expandability for additional peripherals, this kit can grow with your sim racing needs. In the box, you get the steering wheel, wheelbase, pedals, table clamp, mounting tools, USB-B to USB-A cable, power adapter, Ethernet cable, and a quick-start guide.

Absolutely fantastic hardware, iffy software.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I'm a fan of driving games, both arcade-style and simulations, it's been several years since I've owned a steering wheel controller, so I was excited to try this one out. The Moza R5 combo comes very well packed in protective material, and includes the base unit, an ES steering wheel, and SR-P Lite Pedal, featuring throttle and brake (no clutch). This makes it feel like it's more for arcade racers than simulators. You can certainly map the clutch to one of the many buttons on the wheel, but I've never driven a car configured that way. The box comes with a basic instruction manual and an assortment of screws in two bags, with absolutely no indication as to what goes where. The short version is that you need four screws to mount the steering wheel base to the desk clamp, and it's not hard to figure out which ones. The rest of the hardware is, I presume, for mounting the hardware to a cockpit frame, for those who are serious about their simulation rigs. Beyond that, assembly is limited to plugging in a couple of cables and seating the wheel itself onto the base. Simple stuff. The Moza Pit House software immediately recognized and activated my hardware, and walked me through the calibration steps. Everything great so far. It scanned my game library for supported games (a launcher sidebar shows you what's installed, you can specific ones to the top of the list) and autoconfiguration options (or manual instructions) are available right there. At least, it seems that's how it's supposed to work. I've never had a more difficult time getting software and hardware to work together in my life. While the Moza Pit House has no problem detecting the hardware, games seem to be split on how they feel about it. Forza 4 and 5 refuse to acknowledge the wheel's existence at all. I've walked through every step with support, and all of the possible alternate options in the software to maximize compatibility, but it just doesn't work. I've considered wiping and reinstalling my computer's OS and starting fresh, but that still feels a bit extreme, and I'm going to keep working at it. The support page says that Project Cars 2 can be autoconfigured for telemetry data, but when I try to do that in Pit House it says it has to be configured manually. Odd things like that. Other games, like Assetto Corsa and Wreckfest, see the wheel fine, and just needed some minor configuration of the controls to get going. Competizione autoconfigured telemetry data without me even having to ask. My issues seem to stump other users when I've posted about them online, so it's probably just some sort of weirdness with my rig. Still, it's been a bit of a frustrating time. In the games where I've gotten the wheel to work, it's a thing of beauty. It feels great to use. All of the buttons are within reach without being in the way, and everything about it feels premium and professional. The motor that drives the wheel is powerful and offers a fantastic level of resistance and responsiveness to the "road" and everything on it. The force feedback is just glorious. The base is super heavy and mounts on my desk like it was built into it. Very secure. The pedals... well, the pedals have a lot of resistance, don't weigh a lot, and I have a tiled floor. The rubber feet offer little in the way of grip on smooth surfaces, and had to resort to taking a scrap of OSB left over from a project and bolting it to that, leaving the wood braced against the wall to keep it from sliding about. A heavier plate would work wonders. It would also be nice if there was some sort of placeholder block included that could sit where a missing clutch pedal is, to help keep the base from wobbling or flexing in configurations where the pedals are placed closer together (as they normally would be) when placing your other foot on that side of the plate. I threw one together in a CAD program and printed it, and it worked well for that purpose. Another nice feature that I didn't discover until later is that there's an app that will connect to the unit via Bluetooth, allowing you to change settings on the fly without exiting the game. I don't use it very often, but it's very handy when I need it. I'm impressed with the modularity and upgradability of the hardware and I've already got several upgrade parts that I'm considering. Take that as the massive compliment that it is for the hardware, given that I'm considering expanding it despite my weird software issues. I'd absolutely recommend this for anyone looking to get their foot into PC racing sims with an easily upgradable system.

Next Level Racing Hardware!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Moza-R5 racing Simulator Wheel and Pedal Bundle for PC in black is a game changer for anyone who likes racing games like me. This setup takes you up to a whole different level of gameplay by increasing the realism exponentially. It is not just that you actually have a real steering wheel and pedals you also get real-time feedback through the steering wheel in situations that you would feel it in while driving in real life. It is amazing how far gaming technology and hardware have come. The level of integration is impressive and so is the Moza hardware. The steering wheel has every imaginable control option you could think of and it is built like a tank and feels very solid, linked to its base that can be mounted to your desk. Then there is the all-steel pedal assembly also very solid and of good size for an adult male. Moza includes all of the cables and wires needed to get set up and once that is done, you are ready to move on to the software. Once you go to the Moza website and download the Moza Pithouse software and install it a process that will take some time. You will be ready to get it hooked up to your game or games. In the Moza Pitstop software, there is a list of compatible games on the right side. Games that you have installed will be available to create links to their location on your PC. You can use Steam of Windows Xbox Live for games and there is a good list of compatible games. The whole process is time-consuming, especially if you need to download a game and install it. However, once you get it all set up, you are ready for a next-level driving experience for gaming. If you are someone who loves racing but can not actually do it in real life this is the next best thing and it is very entertaining. I would say the Moza R5 is a great entrance point, but you can also add on to it with other accessories if you wish to. I believe it is worth the money because it is well executed and very well made. I think it will hold up to a lot of abuse and last a long time.

Exceptionally Realistic Racing Simulator
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Moza R5 Racing Simulator Wheel and Pedal bundle provides an amazing and elevated experience to car simulation games. It definitely takes a while to set-up and get going, but once it is up and running, there is not going back to control or keyboard racing. What’s included? Included in the package are the steering wheel, wheel base, pedals, desktop clamp, connections for power, pedals to base, and base to PC, plus 2 small bags of hardware. *Setup* The physical set-up was time consuming but straightforward. It took me about 20 minutes to unscrew and readjust pedals, mount the base, and set up steering wheel to base properly. I used the video on the Moza website because it was easier to understand than the manual. The manual instructions are tricky to follow, plus there is no specification on which hardware to use of the two bags provided, and no details on what each is even for. I still have a bag left and am not sure what to do with it. After this I downloaded and installed the Moza software, which took about another 10 mins, then had to calibrate steering wheel, pedals, download an update, and calibrate again. Having done all this, I found I could not play anything, because no game was picking it up. I tried it with Forza Horizons 5 and then downloaded various games to no avail. This is where my advice comes in if you chose to buy this. First off, I became aware that something in the setup had gone wrong and the software had improperly installed. Thus, I had to delete the Moza software from the PC and reinstall. After this, I was able to play it with limited function, the pedals showed up on the Moza software but not on any game. I was able to map the wheel on games and use buttons for throttle and break. So, if there are any issues, ensure that everything is properly installed. Secondly, and important if you own a Windows PC, go to Control Settings>USB Device> Moza R5 Base and calibrate you pedals and wheel. I found a video by Sim Racing Pal detailing this and this did the trick. After having done this, I have been able to play on Forza Horizons 5 using my XBOX PC Gamepass with no issue, as well as RaceRoom with no issues. All I have to do is map under the game’s settings. For RaceRoom, it seems to reset every time I go back in, even though I launch it through the Moza app, which is linked to Steam. *Quality of Product* The quality of this steering wheel and pedals is outstanding. It feels like a real steering wheel, and it feels incredibly durable. The base provides incredible vibrations and moves the steering wheel depending on the terrain as if it were a real car. It registers steering with amazing sensitivity and truly gives a life-like simulation. Likewise, the pedals are accurately sensitive to nuance in acceleration, deceleration, and break. The pedals can be shifted to desired spacing, and the height of the pedal can be adjusted. They are lightweight sometimes the whole thing will lean forward when I use the pedal unless I keep a foot on it. I also use it on tile floor, which makes it slide around. I am thinking of buying a rubber mat to keep it in place but that still won’t solve the issue with it leaning forward. It is also best to use a lockable or nonwheeled chair with this. *App* The Moza software severs various purposes. It can calibrate each individual component, shows that everything is functional and connected, shows which games it is compatible with and ready to launch, record stats, and much more. *Conclusion* Okay, so this was a pain to install and troubleshoot, it took me days to figure out, but it was well worth it. There is not a single person in my house that is not constantly vying for a turn at it. Whether racing or taking on a leisurely drive, this Moza provides such a fun immersive experience that even my kids think they can drive in real life now. It is smooth, responsive, and realistic.

I enjoy playing this set
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first steering wheel pedal set from this brand. But I have always heard a good things and this is definitely not a beginner set. This is a step up from beginners. I would say that this is a more real life feel I have a Corvette with the paddle shifters and the steering wheel and paddle gears feel very similar. The buttons on the steering wheel are easy to reach for my hands and the reactive steering wheel is not too jerky. It’s easy to install, especially for any style table however, if you have a lip that’s Hangs over and retracts like a style G it might be a little difficult, but you can rig it to mount the steering wheel. My only concern in this is where it loses a star is that the pedals do not allow for hard stamping because it will move with the pressing Too hard of a pedal. If I press too hard, the whole pad will move forward or up that is the only reason I have removed one star. Otherwise this entire system meets all my expectations and I really enjoy using it over for other brands.

Super fun direct drive sim racing setup
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice sim racing setup. Some may call it entry level, I call it great for any skill level as this isn't the first sim racing wheel and pedals that I own. Has the "just right" feel for casual racing and crashing...lol. All in all, well worth the price for something that I feel will last for a very long time into the future.

Fantastic value and highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This a fantastic value for a great entry level wheel base, steering wheel, foot pedal combo. The software is really good, wheel base has great resolution, and the wheel is leather wrapped and smells amazing. However, for the 3 stars, read below. - You legit need to buy the brake pedal mod to make the brake more usable. I also, highly recommend to buy a 2nd brake pedal mod and a G920 spring kit. Replace the brake spring stuff with the long throttle spring from the G920 kit and install this into the throttle pedal. This mod makes these pedals feel SOOOO much better. - The paddle shifters are really mushy and not crisp at all. No way that I've found yet to firm these up. These two things above is why 3 stars. It's also what most people have been complaining about since forever and it's crazy Moza hasn't addressed it yet. All this being said, it really is the best deal on the market for entry level stuff. You should also invest in a wheel stand or full aluminum profile rig to mount everything to. It makes a huge difference. For the other offerings Moza has: - The handbrake is really nice and comes with three levels of force. - The gated shifter is okay, but only has 7 gears, it really needs 8, and you'll need a clutch pedal. - The sequential shifter is nice, but quite loud with a harsh click noise, but also the best value on the market. All of these plug easily into the wheel base for a super easy plug and play experience.

Get This!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have you been using that Logitech G29, or anything that is not direct drive? This is my first direct drive wheel base system and has me fully hooked into Sim racing now. You got to experience it to really see what it’s all about using a direct drive system.

Great Intro to Sim Racing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great entry level DD wheel. The button mappings have been pretty automated so far, and a lot of presets for major racing franchises to make it easy to get started. The pedals keep it from being a 5 star product, but a simple upgrade with springs and bumpers for around $30 definitely helps until full load cell upgrade later down the road. Base is working flawlessly so far and does not overheat at all. Only warning is once you get into it, you will eventually want something with bit more force like 10-12 nm range… and maybe a new wheel… and definitely new pedals… so I can see my wallet draining pretty quickly.

Good entry level Direct Drive
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good wheel for entry level racing. I upgraded from the G923 and like everyone said, DD makes a huge difference. setting up the wheel isn't super challenging if you know what you're looking for, so if you're unfamiliar, you may need to look a few things up.

Top of the Food Chain

Great starting sim wheel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always wanted a wheel sim and my friend had this one and kept talking about it so I finally bought one and couldn’t be happier, would recommend getting a wheel stand as this does shake my desk a little bit.

Good deal
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great kit. R5 is a good starting point. Driving feels alot more immersive. Foot pedals are their low tier and you can feel it. Build quality is good, they just feel like generic pedals. No pressure, no feedback. But! It still is overall fun experience. The footpedals are decent. I got this kit to dip my toes into racing sims. I like it and the first thing im upgrading will be the foot pedals.

Enhances driving games, have to set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much like PC itself, there will be some tinkering with settings, but once you get that set up, it will enhance racing games and driving sims. Will also mention, either a cockpit or a wheel stand will be the best for this, I'm sure you can clamp to a desk but the pedals might slide
