What drivers keep saying · from 12 reviews

great value5console compatible3quality control issues2detailed force feedback1durability issues1

Was bummed their R3 couldn't catch drifts on Xbox until the wheel speed setting fixed it; now happy.

positiveconsole compatible

Used a Moza R3 bundle with a load-cell mod for a year before upgrading to a 20 Nm base, and found they prefer about 10 Nm in iRacing.

positive

Their R3 is nice for GT cars; friends who drive their rig say it's awesome and they consider it a steal.

positivegreat value

Used an R3 for over a year, competing in it, and only upgraded because of a great R12 deal; it's plenty.

positive

Two weeks with the R3 in ACC, working up to 100% at 3.9 Nm; it's okay but they wish for a bit more.

mixed

The R3 works really nicely and is much better than the G29 and T150 they've tried.

positive

After a decade from G25 to a boosted CSL DD, they chose the R3 on a budget and share initial thoughts on it.

positive

Their R3's force feedback cut out on long Nordschleife sessions from thermal throttling, which a DIY fan mount fixed.

mixeddurability issues

Ordered the R3 on release day and hasn't had a single issue, including heat.

positive

Their R3 overshoots and oscillates with damping and friction at zero, so they turned them up.

mixed

Moved from a G920 to the R3 on Xbox; some amazing things, but limited game support and button issues leave them a bit regretful.

mixedconsole compatible

Their R3 bundle pedals were too light and flipped under braking even with the performance kit, so they built a base.

negative

Went from a G920 to the R3; the difference between gear and direct drive is huge.

positive

Got an R3 after their G29 died and wishes they'd got at least the R5.

mixed

Recently got the R3 bundle and performance brake kit for Xbox and is very happy.

positiveconsole compatible

Going from a G29 to the R3 felt like a great upgrade in detail.

positivedetailed force feedback

Bought the R3 on sale and it's definitely an upgrade, though they'd have picked the R5 on sale.

positive

Their R3 would lock up Assetto Corsa until a new USB cable fixed it.

mixed

Their Moza R3 is far better and smoother than the G923 they replaced, with no random shaking.

positive

Bought two MOZA R3s for side-by-side Xbox rigs: good, but not strong enough, and the shifter and handbrake barely work with most games.

negative

Enjoyed their MOZA R3 more than the Simagic Alpha Mini that replaced it.

positive

Their MOZA R3 is their first wheel and makes their arms tired on ovals; no desire to upgrade.

positive

Runs a MOZA R3 on a self-welded rig with a car seat and loves it.

positive

Their MOZA R3 wheel and pedals feel fantastic without being too serious in budget, and work fine on a desk.

positivegreat value

Switched from a Thrustmaster T248 after two years to a MOZA R3 and found it night and day in force-feedback clarity and input latency.

positive

Their first direct-drive base was a MOZA R3; good, but they upgraded within a year.

positive

Their new MOZA R3 bundle arrived with the desk-mount tension bolt holes completely stripped; they fixed it with a helicoil but call the QC disappointing.

negativequality control issues

Runs a MOZA R3 at 80% and finds it enough; a huge real-world difference over belt wheels despite similar specs.

positive

Has had the MOZA R3 for almost two years after years on a T500RS and still likes it; even this small base is miles better than belt drive.

positive

Has the MOZA R3 and loves it; recommends the R3 or R5 bundles on a budget.

positivegreat value

Has a MOZA R3 and calls it a wonderful bit of kit with good ecosystem support; recommends the roughly £25 brake mod for more pedal resistance on the SRP Lite pedals.

positive

Bought the R3 bundle and wanted to upgrade within six months; would point a beginner to a 9 Nm bundle with a load cell brake instead.

mixed

Moved from a Logitech G29 to a MOZA R3 bundle and finds the difference night and day for only a little more money.

positivegreat value

Got a MOZA R3 with some mods and a stand for about $350 and is having a blast; runs it at around 75% and feels no need for a stronger base.

positivegreat value

Racing with one arm, bought the R3 thinking it would suffice, but both units failed, one within 30 minutes and the other after a couple of days, so they upgraded to the R5.

negativequality control issues

Bought a MOZA R3 bundle after older Logitech gear and says direct drive changed their life.
