    17:40 Conclusion
    Is the Moza R9 the wheel to depose the Fanatec CSL DD as the default choice for those seeking a budget friendly direct drive sim racing wheel? The specifications are certainly impressive, and there’s lots to like about this wheelbase and the fancy light up Moza GS wheel rim.

    Just a quick update. Moza have reached out to let me know that they'll take my feedback onboard (which is nice to see!). And, there is a 'damping kit' included with the GS wheel, which will reduce the sound of the shifters if you want. It was included in my review version, but I guess I missed it. It's a nice touch!
    Further to the above, yesterday evening I received a software update which addresses the calibration of the paddles on the GS wheel. I've not had a chance to test it yet, but I'll update this comment when I've had a chance to set the wheel back up.

    Unlike Fanatec, which needs at least a $200* Quick release with electronics in it to work, you can use any $30 ebay wheel with a standard NRG style quick release on the moza R9. So it's not locking you into exclusively using their ecosystem of wheels.

    • @ChrisHaye

      Definitely. I think those 'clone' QRs have got a lot better over the years. I bought one when I first got my OSW system in 2017, and there was a lot of slop in the connection. But I've seen some recently that are much, much better. The downside of course is that you lose the wireless connection going that route, which isn't something that really bothers me. Though, it's less ideal for for those that use a lot of wheel rotation (rally, drift, tracks etc).

      True, but for the money you pay for the MOZA setup, I do not want to be limited to just one platform. Fanatec gives you access to PC(which is THE sim racing platform, of course)but also the current consoles, XSX and PS5 respectively, for the same price. That is all that is holding me back from MOZA.

      I’ve been on 8nm on the standard QR and have had 0 issues. Sure it would be nice to have a better QD but I only have one wheel. So unless I run DCS and need the space my wheel stays on there and the QR is perfectly fine. I feel most people who complain about the QR system don’t even have one but complain about it anyways cause other people have. It’s not as big an issue as the internet pretends it to be

    Whilst I am sure many people will be happy with the Moza and there are many great features, the problem for me is the way the warranty is managed. The hoops a customer has to jump through seem designed to discourage returns and repairs and the terms and conditions for the UK are actually illegal, not meeting the requirements of UK and EU consumer law. For me, this is a deal breaker.
    Concerning the 'jumping' analogue paddles - they can't be fixed in firmware without reducing steering rotation granularity. It will require a hardware update to increase the data rate from the wheel. The current transmitter/receiver combination use RS correction for transmission errors but the chosen RX/TX radio serial comms pairing is not designed to cope with the level of error correction required at higher data transmission speeds. This really was a bad design choice and indicative of a lack of experience on the part of the manufacturer. As was the use of only one RX/TX channel which multiplexes all the data. Expect the steering to stutter when using several controls at the same time.
    The pogo pins used for power transfer are a mixed blessing. Pogo pins are designed for use in electronics which are not changed often. They have a duty cycle of 300 insertions, although generally real world usage is three times that number. Pogo pins suffer from spring sag and both external and internal contact wear. They are also very prone to internal contamination and corrosion - they really should never be exposed to typical household contaminants such as dust, smoke, and dirt.There are many videos on the pros and cons of pogo pins in electronic projects - take a look. If you swap your wheel on a regular basis, the pogo pins may not last more than a year. The Fanatec has a common duty cycle of 3500 to 5000 insertions on the *female* (base) side and 8000/15000 insertions on the *male* (wheel) side. I note they don't mention this in the documentation; naughty Fanatec. However, once again you can expect about three times that in the real world.

    • @OculusDrift

      Just thought I'd leave my experience as a Moza owner from the UK.
      I received a faulty Moza RS wheel from Abruzzi UK. I contacted Abruzzi and their support team forwarded me to Moza, who were very quick to identify and attempt fixing my issue.
      It only took about 24 hours from the moment I contacted Moza to the moment they approved for Abruzzi to ship me a replacement wheel, so I'm very pleased with Moza's customer support 👍
      Edit - Also I have not experienced any of the stuttering you mentioned, but yes the clutch paddles are unfortunately jumpy. I also know people who have owned Simagic wheels with pogo pins for 2+ years and they still work perfectly with no signs of wear or corrosion.

    • @ChrisHaye
      @ChrisHaye  Před rokem +7

      Thanks for the detailed technical feedback Bertram. I did wonder if the paddle issue was related to whatever com protocol was in use, but that sort of thing is well beyond my experience / knowledge, so didn't care to speculate. The point you raise about multiple controls is an interesting one, and something I'll test when I get the wheelbase back on the rig. For most racers, I guess it's unlikely to be an issue, but if you're using those paddles as anything other than a clutch (hand controls for example), that could cause some major problems.
      It's funny you mention the Pogo pins as well, as I did write about concerns of the springs losing their effectiveness under compression, but couldn't find anything to back that up, so removed it from the final script. In any case, thank you for the detailed response - it's always nice (and rare) to come away from a CZcams comment having learned things!

The FFB's when testing the car is really a good one and could equal Fanatec's (which I do tested in other place, although I am Thrustmaster T300RS user big time.). This steering wheel set could be a good entry for Simracers in future as I think that the FFB's are really helpful and could drive well even though just testing it on one sim and with limited powers out there.

    I don't think my PC has bluetooth so I'm guessing that's going to be a problem for the wheel. Would a bluetooth adaptor cause lag issues between the wheel and the PC? Or do you mean that the Bluetooth is between the base and the wheel?

      @@ChrisHaye Here is my opinion on the QR2 debacle. As we all know, a number of high-screech ten-thumbed users have been bending the pins on the current QR system. The QR2 is designed to fix wobble for those not willing to read fitting instructions but do not change the pinning, so the main issue of clumsy-attachment by the *wet-ware* would not be solved.
      It is just a theory, but the only theory which explains why the QR2 was not released years ago.
