Thoughts on the OC Racing gloves? 👇
Can i buy it in the futur? Because i like them alot
They need tips not open fingers
They look sick!
looks awesome!
@@runekolmancoming some time in the future! Working closely to make them as good as possible before release. Stay tuned 👀
The real question here is: where can I buy those Lightning McQueen shoes? 😂 Nice video bro
Stockx
I got rid of my CSL DD for an R5 and haven't been disappointed. It feels more solid, less flex, better quick release (if you don't want to spend a fortune). It's also more practical if you have a spouse for example as it's much smaller and lighter than the CSL DD and can be moved away if necessary. The table clamp is also way better if you don't have a rig.
Did you use your cal pedals with it?
@@vmcfmvct2352 I did initially, but as I got the SRP lite with the bundle, I just used those with the brake mod and sold my CSL pedals. Kind of regret it slightly, but you can use the pedals with the clubsport usb adapter no problem without the fanatec wheelbase.
@@ab8jeh Nice tnx, and did you tried to connect directly to the R5?
Btw sorry for that many questio, trying to evaluate id r5 will work with what I have here
@@vmcfmvct2352 never tried it but I would be amazed if that would work.
Moza is on a tear these days, still using my R9 daily and loving evrey minute of it. As always top tier video OC!
I finally got the chance to play with mine R5 that came last week. I'm very happy with it. Handles great. Just need to learn to configure it to my liking. Great video.
Great vid, very informative.. I am honestly considering getting my 1st DD racing set considering my racing wheel decided to die on me recently.. the Moza R5 looks to be a great option and hopefully soon will manage to spare the money and get this set with the additional upgrade for the break pedal
Mr. OC Racing regarding the fact that the Moza wheel rims are not compatible, Moza is currently updating the existing wheels to a V2 version we already got the (RS, GS and CS v2) at the time of this video, FSR is compatible since launch. So basicly Moza is doing an awesome job on their ecosystem, nothing to do with this subject but today they released the new HBP Handbreak which for the price seems a really solid option way above competition on its price range.
Love your videos btw
In 9 months MozaRacing has added:
R5 as a Solo purchasable Base instead of bundled.
2 Wheels that are now (V2) compatible with the R5.
USB Universal Hub for compatibility with other devices.
Hand Brake.
3rd Party Adapter for other bases.
Extension Rod (personally questionable)
Now they need to release a Shifter.
Yea no shifter is keeping me away rn
and now there is a shifter and a handbrake! :)
@@trob_12 thx for the heads up!
Your video editing is god tier with a great damn music selection, keep it good man
That intro tho! Great review, deserve an Oscar
Your production quality is always top notch and a treat to watch! Keep rocking those Lightning McQueen shoes
With the amount I spent on them, I might as well use them on every video possible 😂
I saw the epic step into Lightning McQueen, I knew this was gonna be good 😎 This will be my step up from my T-150, so I'm glad it's a worthy wheelbase!
I got mine last Friday and love it. Upgraded from an old g27 and my goodness do I love direct drive
Glad to hear, congrats 👍
Where did you order yours from
@@farhadx7 ordered from moza directly. But micro enter also sells if you're in US
Your channel is fire bro, your videos just keep getting better. I'd love to see some VRS pedals on here.
I’ll see what I can do. Cheers 🍻
Great video. Been thinking about this Moza and the T-GT II actually.
I've been waiting for this review from you. Great review!
Glad I could help. Cheers 🍻
Just received R5 Bundle today. Coming from a Thrust master T150. This upgrade to my rig is totally worth the money. I have plans on getting a Clutch Pedal and ES Formula Wheel Mod from Moza.
How long did shipping take
@@devintolliver92 3 weeks.
Kinda glad I waited to jump on the moza train, I was able to get the R9 v2 with a steering wheel and pedals for about 200$ less than the fanatec CSL DD pro bundle only down side is now I gotta wait a month for delivery lol but it’s gonna be a huge upgrade for me coming from a t300.
Just ordered the r5 bundle as my first wheel setup ever
I believe the compatability is all about the numbers of connectionpins inside
It’s a good wheel base but I would buy the fanatec csl dd because I could upgrade it so its 8nm. Good vid oc!
Good point! Thanks for watching :)
what a great review. phenomenal video
might have to get the moza r5 base good content as always
Glad I could help. Cheers 🍻
howd you watch the video in 1 minute😂
3:30 this is easily explained, fanatec's build quality on the cheaper units is nothing compared to moza. Higher stiffness in your wheel results in better translation of that 5.5 nm torque
Nice to hear about FFB details. But hows FFB strength, from a T300, w/c I run around 80% in game to avoid wrestling in long drives.
I've recently gotten an R5. Upgraded after many years of gear/belt driven from Fanatec GT3RS and then G923, it is night and day. And if anyone is on those wheels and thinking about upgrading and wondering if its worth it. Do it. I only play on PC so the console drawback was never a consideration for me. I was scared the low nm torque rating of this could put me off and thinking I should have bought an R9, not the case. You will not regret it 1 piece of advice, if you upgrade from G923, buy yourself 2 things. 1. A USB adapter for the Logitech Pedals so you can connect them directly to your PC 2. Get the very famous Logitech Brake mod called TrueBrakeV2, and just keep using the Logitech pedals until you upgrade to a true upscale pedal set.
If you bought the R5 Bundle and also the performance kit for the brake, it is NOT enough and is still very very soft, it does not come close to comparing the feel of the TruebrakeV2 upgrade on the Logitech set.

Hello OC, nice video as always. I bought the Moza R5 bundle 3 weeks ago as my first sim racing setup. I’m having a lot of fun with it so far.
That’s a killer first setup, good luck into this hobby man.
Hi there, I am wanting to get into sim racing and I'm looking at the R5 and CSL DD. I have a budget of £500 so enough for R5 but I would prefer to save as much as possible whilst still getting a solid setup that won't break randomly. What are your opinions. Many Thanks
If this ever gets console compatibility it will instantly be on my radar
Will never happen
I believe but not positive. But I've heard there's unofficially a way for it to work on console
You can use it on consoles now
@@Wilsonandcars can you? I just looked it up again and I haven't found anything mentioning it still.
@@neblolthecarnerd reso1ution 2 is what the converter is called.
I’m looking to upgrade from G29 and Playseat challange seat. I’m pretty competitive on PlayStation 5 GT7 usually top 3500-5000 in global on track B. What would you suggest for direct wheel/ pedals and seat under $1000.00’s? Thanks
how would it compare to tgt 2 or t300rs? interms of details/ driving
or is the r9 a better upgrade to save up to?
Considering this wheel base as a Christmas request to myself (full bundled with pedals etc).
Got the G923 a few weeks back and completely hooked on Sim Racing now lol.
Is there anything else you'd recommend over this for the price range? Bundle I've seen is £529 which seems pretty decent for direct drive. Would appreciate any input, thanks
i upgraded from the g29 to the r5 about a month ago, i got the cutch pedal and the brake performance kit as well. such an amazing upgrade from the logi, and i got the es formula mod yesterday and it so good. And the only other wheels i can think of in this price range are the CSL DD and that new cammus C5
Awesome vid man! ❤
For my first wheel.. which one should i buy?
mozza R5 bundle vs T300RS
They both have same price in my country...
Good video. The funny (sad) thing about sim racing here in Brasil, is that this bundle, which hovers around 600 USD, goes for more than 10 times the retail price... The logitech G29 and G923 that are considered entry level here, go from R$1500 of our local currency (Real), up to R$2400. The Thrustmaster T248 is 400 USD can be found here for over the R$ 5000 mark
Ah, sucks to hear…
That’s the socialist equity effect.
IMPORT it
Complaining about the 5NM when you're basing that of what's most like your "top spec" wheel base, it's an entry level DD a STEP UP from non--DD bases. Kermit/Jonathan Ross
If you are looking at the R5. You should honestly just save the little bit extra and buy the R9 for the extra torque.
Gloves looking good as always
Coming soon 🙏🙏🙏
When calculating the price for a formula racing setup (two pedals and no shifter) which I'm looking for, the Moza setup with the R5 and their cheapest formula rim comes out to around €1300 with taxes.
A similar Fanatec CSL DD setup comes out to around €850. I'll go Fanatec instead!
Moza GS wheel or ES (R5) wheel with mod?
And you compare to which Fanatec wheels? McLaren GT3 or Formula?
@@mArvAlcao71 I took this very wheel base that's shown in the video (so the R5) and Moza's cheapest pedal set and the GS V2 GT wheel rim (which is the cheapest formula wheel I could find on their site).
For the Fanatec I took the CSL DD as I mentioned, the Clubsport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 and the CSL pedals.
To me the Fanatec looks like a much better value if you only play Formula or perhaps GT3 class :) You could even go with the McLaren rim and save a ton more money :)
@@robertdevald fair point actually.
I always think CSL DD are better than the R5, and in other side Moza's wheels are better than the Fanatec's offerring.
I just wonder how long Fanatec being a prat by only sell their products in the EU and handful of countries
@@mArvAlcao71 oh really? I didn't know that, I thought they were a global company 😮
Great video. Do you need to map the wheel buttons yourself for Assetto corsa competizione? Or does wheel software have a profile mapping must important features to buttons? If not do you have a costume button mapping you can share with us? Thank you
I'm loooking at T300 RS GT and Moza R5 bundle. Which do you think is better for me? I'm a total beginner and I'll use it mostly on Forza Horizon 5 and AC. BTW the Moza here is $250 more expensive than the T300 RS GT. Thanks in Advance.
I’m still deciding between PXN v12 lite, g923, or the Moza r5 bundle. Which one should I get? 0:36
Would this be a upgrade from a Thrustmaster TS-PC racer?
Ahh! Something different from the unlucky series 😂
Btw the gloves looks awesome but if you even price that reasonably i couldn't buy that bcoz of the dollar conversion to rupees but the look good
Gotta change up the content sometimes 😂
first wheel im gonna buy, im entry level and there is a r5 pedal and wheel combo for 480$
I hope I’m not to late for that TGT2,would love one to match my SF1000 wheel 😬
Yessa thnx I needed this in my life, thnx man good review love you ( no homo )
Glad I could help 👍😂
Is the DD block compatible with the Oplite GTR S3? Looks very interessting this Moza Bundle
king uploaded again!
🙏🙏
4:40 you could probably get it to work on console with a gimx adapter or the like. Maybe not a ps5, but it should work with a ps4. I got a locitech g27 to work that way on a ps4 and even fine tuned the ffb through gimx
king posted
Is there any software that can enable the r5 to be used in non-supported games with or without FFB??
Have a Merry Christmas best to your family.🎅👍
Likewise! Happy holidays :)
does the Moza R5 have a xbox menu button or any way to map a button to it?
forget the Moza, I want that Lightning McQueen Kachow slippers
Great video as always.
Thank you 🙏
goat reviews as always
Goated comments as always 🫡
Is this better than the t-gt you’re about to give away, in your opinion?
Is the pedals progressive? In a review i heard they are not. And i cant believe it for such pricy wheelset.
They are offering a R5 Bundle at $529 as of today.. probably trying to compete with Fanatec's new bundle ( that's not even in stock )
There is now a mount adapter plate to mount to all chassis.
I have a ts xw that 5nm and honestly I have it on 50% ffb because anything more is just far to strong 😂 so I reckon this maybe the dd I get haha
Could you fill a video about the new Thrustmaster dd wheel? Thanks and great Video as always
You already know it’s coming soon 😉
Since it's lighter than normal DDs...can I mount this to a Playseat Challenge?
don't about two mounting screws, velcro should be able to hold 5.5 of torque
What about the desk clamp? Would this work ok on a desk, or 5.5Nm is too much and would shake everything like mad?
I bought the bundle which includes the table clamp. I have no problems with vibration on my desk.
Damn, you uploaded your review the same time as me 😂
Good review!!
What settings did you use for iracing
I have the r5 and it's amazing.. only problem I have is that I can't get the RPM light meter to work on my wheel. Any ideas?
Did you go into the moza pit software to select it to be in rpm mode? Mine was flashing out of the box without functionality until I changed the setting for it in the software
is the csl dd (5nm) not the cheapest/most affordable?
The new rs and cs v2 steering wheels are compatible with the moza r5
I think they’re about the same but I may be wrong 👀
@@OCRacing probaly eu prices that differ then,
btw the new cs and rs wheel are compatible with the moza r5
So, did they fix the compatability?
I wish they would make some compatibility with Playstation, without some 3rd party adapters.
is that Moza R5 accept the real steering wheels? like omp , sparco or others, please tell me if there someone knew this
I got he r9 with the gs wheel ✅
1:26 what are the right adapters?
I’m getting like £500 pounds should I buy it because I have a g920 at the moment (I’m on pc btw)
Looks loverly 😘
Can i mount this on the FGT-Lite? or is 5NM a bit much for that cockpit?
IMO it would work pretty well. I saw someone upload a photo of R5 on his f-gt lite on reddit
Hope you could see this. I'm planning to mount this to a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0. Would you know if its compatible?
Yup it should be. Feel free to check out my website for discount codes on both products!
@@OCRacing Do you mean that I could mount it directly to the stand without using the table mount that came with it in the bundle? Learned that the front and back distance of the mounting holes are near to each other making it impossible to mount directly for most stands or cockpit.
@2:39 He trippin 😂🤣😭❤️
I picked up the bundle at Microcenter for $500 (479.99 + tax) with their 20% sale. At this price... Well, I'm pretty damn happy!
Another note, the SR-P Lite brake pedal spring has been revised as well. Many reviewers complained about it being as soft as the gas pedal. The spring is roughly 2x stronger. It may still benefit from the additional mod kit, but for a new buyer, it's an acceptable feel that doesn't cause you to accidentally rip the brake pads off of your virtual race car 😂
Also note, microcenters sale is also on rig hardware as well. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2 and a MOZA R5 cost me just over $700. Not bad for turn key solution that'll work with a PC chair.
If anyone asks, it's my son's Christmas present though 😜
Didn’t know they had a 20% off sale. Bought a few sim racing gear from there two days ago lmao
I just did the same thing with the same stand but inside the steering wheel package, comes clear rubber pads for mounting the wheel base to the table, if you put those in the bottom of the post 📫 where it's meant to fold for the wheel base it should eliminate the wiggling.
Just about to order the r5 jw does it come with a table because haven’t got round to getting a sim rig yet or atleast a wheel stand
If you order it with the bundle, it includes a table clamp. If you order it as a standalone, I believe you’ll need to buy the table clamp separately.
@@OCRacing Ok thanks yes I ordered the bundle so that’s fine. Thanks 👍👍
I shouldve gotten the r5 bundle before getting the g923 pedals were crap and same with the wheel on i racing. It was super twitchy. Now i wasted $350.
I am thinking of selling my g920 and earning up for that thing, should I?
Literally just got my r5 bundle yesterday 💀
I know. I’m always watching.
Good to know.
Can you use other wheels on it?
In EU the Fanatec CSL DD is 349€ incl VAT, while this is 399€ excl VAT - whatever that means.
Has anyone actually ordered this and payed VAT/Taxes? How much?
fanatec have huge discount atm soo i buy 8nm bundle little over 500 eur, inside that price there is also taxes and shipping. r5 is only 5nm so its huge win atm if want stronger wheel at same price like r5
you see that reaction time, oc goated youtuber
OP reactions
love the videos
is it worth this over the t300 or should i get a DD with more torque?
Simagic alpha mini is the best value imo if you have the money. Supposedly says 10nm of torque but someone tested it and it went up to 13. Also simagic has amazing quality
whats about the clipping at higher ffb´s? (80% and higher)
RaceDepartment FFB Clip
If you play f1 22 r5 will be hot
Do you still think a t300rs is worth buying considering the price of these direct drive wheels that are coming out ?
Former T300 user here, it is good but I jumped from g27 to t300 to DD quickly and regret the extra middle step.
First wheel ?? Pc ??
@@THESHADOW97139 first wheel yes but I’ll be on ps5 and pc and don’t want to wait till February for a fanatec wheel
@@cloneme34live33 There is a clear difference between cls dd and T300....
The closest belt-driven flywheel would be Tspc (6 nm), but not the same price as the Fanatec... So yes for starters the T300 will do the job, but between the two there is a world in terms of feeling
How do I enter the competition
I would go with fanatec DD for $700 but I can buy the boost kit later and there are a lot of beautiful wheel for upgrade.
Love Fanatec❤
isnt the fanatec dd the same price and it can pe upgraded ? so better value imo ?
I just checked because I was curious too...
Here in Germany the moza r5 costs 399€ (standalone) whereas the fanatec csl DD 5nm costs 349€ (upgradeable with the boost kit to 8nm, around 150€ iirc)
So in my case I'd go the fanatec route from my 5yo g29
@@artorias3479 yeah same here
the new v2 versions of the rims will work with the r5
Noted, thank you.
I wanna buy it but as far as I know its only sold as a bundle and I already have pedals so I hope they end up selling it separately 🙏
It is offered separately! 😉
@@OCRacing Good news for me😄
I heard other early reviewers say it was only sold as a bundle so they mustve changed their mind
@@noahh6032 yup, recently changed!
I want to upgrade from my non force feedback wheel to a moza r9 or r5, which would you recommend
What is your steering wheel??
@@THESHADOW97139 current one is a pxn v3, $100 on amazon
@@edan7813 pc or console??
R5 is good to start with, but the pedals aren't that great....limit a T300RS GT set would be cheaper for almost the same job, but with better pedals
@@THESHADOW97139 im on pc but for me i wouldnt care if the pedals werent the best, as long as they have a clutch i would be ok with it
@@edan7813 Bro .... the pedals count a lot, in the performances, which you will reproduce on your simulations.
They are as important as your steering wheel.
If you are on pc .... fanatec csl elite v2 pedals are an excellent value for money.
It's up to you to choose the base ... personally, I'm going to start with a t300 + csl v2.
The moza r9 will be next
Would you say it's a worthy upgrade from a TS XW?
Oof. Unless you really want access to other wheel rims, probably not. Only because it won’t be ~too~ much more powerful than a TS-XW.
I’m just gonna wait for the t818
