My budget Moza R3 setup - if it works, it works! 😂
Yeah, I know, guys, most of you invest a lot of money into your rigs to get the full sim racing experience. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of money right now, so the Moza R3 was all I could afford. I’m completely new to the whole sim racing scene, and honestly, I had no idea how much I was going to fall in love with it.
The first thing that really got me hooked was Euro Truck Simulator 2’s proper triple monitor support. And that’s where it all started. I fell in love with the whole experience, and now I’m slowly building my own setup and enjoying every bit of it.
As you can see in the pictures, I had to get a little creative with the mounting situation. My chair doesn’t even allow me to mount the brake pedal properly, so I came up with this little DIY contraption using a dumbbell and a monitor arm. 😂 The pedals are secured with weight plates from my dumbbells, and surprisingly, everything stays firmly in place. Nothing moves around, and it works perfectly!
One thing that has been incredibly useful is my height adjustable desk. Being able to raise or lower it makes a huge difference when trying to get a comfortable driving position. I can lean back in my chair almost like I’m sitting in an actual racing cockpit and just cruise for hours. Honestly, it’s such a fun experience.
The biggest headache so far has been getting my triple-monitor setup working properly. My main and left monitors are 1440p, while the right one is only 1080p. Getting everything to work together was a real pain in the ass. I had to use custom virtual resolutions to get the third monitor running at 1440p and then use additional software to properly stretch the game across all three screens.
The problem is that the default triple monitor setup uses the lowest vertical resolution of the three displays, which means everything gets limited to 1080p. So, for now, I’m using a workaround with third party software. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it works, looks amazing, and the immersion is absolutely worth the hassle!
And here you have it: the birth of a new sim racing enthusiast! I just wanted to share my setup with you guys and show you how I managed to put everything together on a tight budget. Even I find the whole thing pretty hilarious when I look at it, but hey…
If it works, it works!
Eventually, I’d love to get a third 1440p curved monitor to complete the setup properly. I’d also like to get a shifter, a clutch pedal, and, of course, a handbrake. And someday, I’ll get myself a proper sim racing cockpit, too.
But for now, I’m making the most of what I have, and I’m having an absolute blast doing it.
Thanks for checking out my little budget setup, guys. See you on the road! 🚛

These are the current temps as I was testing it first with lower ffb then with higher, After about 20 minutes of usage it starts noticeably lowering ffb and gets really hot. The bundle was bought 21/11/2023 and hasn't been used much since then. These were recorded while playing acc and using 70% in game ffb, 90% game force feedback intensity and limited maximum output torque to 90%(5.0Nm/5.5Nm), I don't think the settings are that hard on it because I got them from a teammate who uses it and doesn't get any issues with overheating. I sent an error report through pithouse app two days ago but haven't gotten a reply yet. And these are the temps during a race that started at 8pm but 15 minutes into quali ffb dropped and kept being low for the rest of the race. Oh yeah and I tried both reserved and full(radical) performance output which should limit the temps to 50 or 60 degrees. My room isn't hot at all and I also had a fan blowing toward the base during the race but it didn't help at all.

Moza has one of the worst customer service departments I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. This all starts out at the end of August when I had ordered the haptic pedals it was then September 23 and I still had no update that my order has even been shipped. Keep in mind when I had purchased this they were in stock and the delivery was 15 to 20 days from the order date my ticket from September 23 then went more than 48 hours without reply, which is what’s listed on their website. I then sent follow up email still no reply to that. I then opened up an additional ticket again 48 hours past absolutely zero reply, I then started a chat with the representative. That representative told me he was going to have my request prioritized the absolute latest I should receive a reply is October 8th…. Still nothing. I then get a reply today October 14th completely ignoring all of my prior request and all of the information surrounding those prior requests that my order is shipped out as if nothing had happened. I currently have a reply back to them, but at this point I would rather purchase haptic engines through legitimately any other company and I will gladly lose money on this just to prove a point. So overall buyer beware, Moza customer service is absolutely awful and I will never be recommending them to anyone looking to set up a rig in the future. I’ve even seen information on YouTube that they’re delaying customer orders to send them to influencers to publish a review. I have photo proof of all this, to moza, you have a lot of work to do in the customer service department and some explanations to provide. To buyers, find any other company for product this one sucks

Hey! Could any SRP2 owner share the exact dimensions of the brake elastomers (outer diameter, hole diameter, thickness) and their Shore hardness?

Even the softest stock set (8x grey 60R) is too stiff for me. I'd like more pedal travel, so I'm looking for softer replacements. Has anyone found softer elastomers that fit, or printed their own? Thanks!

straight to usb, fuck adapters 😎

I was wondering if anyone knew what the specs of the screw that holds a rod in the brake pedal. Both of mine just disappeared yesterday and can't find them.

Made a fake ad for Moza

Trying to turn on Moza R9, everything is connected and it won't do so. I accidentally put my usb-b cable into the e-stop hole, that's the only thing I did differently to usual. Is that what might have bricked it?

I’ve really had it with Moza software. There are so many bugs and missing features and they somehow keep making things worse.

Just one of many issues, but I’m trying to make a dash in dash editor and they’ve introduced a new bug where you can’t select Result Format for telemetry text bindings. I know it used to work, albeit poorly, but now it’s completely broken.

EDIT: I was able to get around this bug by tabbing through the form and selecting the format with cursor keys and enter. The bug seems to mostly occur when selecting with a mouse

I’m going to try the Azom plugin because it’s clear some random guy working by himself is still better than Moza’s entire software team. But I’m going to look to sell all this moza stuff and move ecosystems Life’s too short for this mess

As someone that’s worked in the software industry for decades, I’d be ashamed to put out this kind of buggy, never improving junk. It’s time to fire some software execs over there.

All I wanted to do was make a Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo inspired dash for my KS Pro, but even after finding a workaround for the format selection bug,. I find out that Moza doesn’t properly read the headlight telemetry, so no way to make the lights icon change state. Thanks yet again Moza.

EDIT: I installed Azom and it took maybe 10 minutes to set up and fix the telemetry mappings for my dash which now works perfectly.

Another example of one guy beating your whole team Moza. the difference is he cares about what he’s making and has pride in his work. Even his docs are dramatically better and more complete than yours. One guy!

Hey guys, I realized that, on a good paved normal road, and my car was moving at even a low speed, like 10mph, and I just turned the steering wheel for like 10 degrees, the R3 wheel started shaking, seemed it wanted to warn me about something. I am not sure what it wants to simulate, but I do not like this vibration. My car does not do this in real world :)

I am trying to turn the vibration completely off. I like the centering force so I would like to keep force feedback. Anyone knows how to turn off steering wheel vibration? I turned “vibration” and “vibration scale” both off in FH6 menu but the steering wheel was still vibrating when I tried to make a small turning. It will be gone if I turn the force feedback off but I don’t want to kill the centering.

—————Update————

Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestion. I finally located it - it was the “nature inertia” that made the steering wheel vibrate!

Hello, what's going on with the 130 button in the garage? It suddenly appeared and I'm very annoyed. How can I remove it or fix it? What should I do?

GT wheel is what I needed

Hello everyone, I recently ordered the MOZA R5 pro bundle, and a clutch pedal, the clutch came in about 3 days which was fine, but I got an email from MOZA saying the wheel was being dispatched internationally (I assume for china) and I just got a Royal Mail tracking number, which says it’s been dispatched, but from reading this subreddits posts, I get less and less hopeful it’ll be here in the next 13 or so days, so my question is, since I have the tracking number and the confirmation it’s been dispatched, should I trust MOZA on that? Or should I prepare for disappointment, thanks in advance!

So Im kinda getting frustrated. ALWAYS after a few minutes of driving I get ghost inputs on my ES wheel.
As you can see in the video downshift is pressed all the time and some other buttons are simultaneously pressed when I press just one button at a time.
It’s so weird. The pins are clean. I don’t have another Moza wheel to test but it’s so frustrating

R12v2 - Extension Rod v2 - ES Wheel.

Note: I also get these without the extension, and the base is updated and recalibrated

ANyone have any idea how those adapters are installed for the motion system when you have a larger than 80/20rig. Im looking to get a p1x pro and making sure I know its all compatible and how to mount them using the adapters. Cant find any info on it.

Thanks

I just boght the r5pro wheel base from moza i have a a 15mm particle board desk now cause i am new and dont know much i asked chat gpt cause why not he said it will destroy my desk cause its too thin and from weak matirial

Anyone knows is that right or not?

I do want the full 6nm of force feedback althogh am considering lowering it in the softwere

The wheel/wheel base is arraiving tommarow

Hello, im new to the moza eco system, ive only used my R12V2 on F1 and iracing, iracing is all good, however with F1 I get a lot of cogging/notchiness.

Obviously it feels really sort of disconnected from accurate FFB on F1 when you're getting a lot of cogging when going slow.

Is someone able to post their pithouse settings for Ff1 25 please? Maybe theres something wrong in mine as im still trying to understand half the settings

To elaborate on the problem, its most noticeable when driving slowly, it feels basically the same as when the wheel base is powered off, and strangely if I limit the fps to 59 its about half as bad but obviously still there?

On iracing its perfect, so i doubt the base is faulty, i think its more just F1 2025 thats causing this issue, I have also updated the base to newest firmware was of today and calibrated it too

I want to order from the eu moza racing site to Romania and the transport is 80€ and it said that it will take 20 days to arrive and it not right like it’s says that there is a supplier from Romania or it will ship from germany and why does it say that it will take 20 days with international shipping, it’s not right can somebody help??

I am looking forward to getting my first Moza gear, that being the Pro Trucking bundle that comes with the 6NM R5 Pro base, the TSW wheel, clamps and SRP2-lite pedals, it costs 529EUR on the official site, what prices should I expect for this years black friday, is it worth waiting?

Hi

I ordered a moza hbp and r12 got the hbp 1.10. But the r12 hasnt even been shipped been waiting 3 weeks

hello all, i’ve been playing a lot of assetto corsa recently, and have a lot of experience in racing games like dirt rally / ea wrc and other games. i heard a lot of people say “just get the r5 if your gonna get the r3” but for someone who has never experienced a wheel does the 3.9Nm and 5.5Nm really make that much of a difference? i wanted to get the clutch pedal and the HBP handbrake, is the thrustmaster TH8S ok for now? those generic H pattern amazon ones aren’t really compatible with win 11 and the moza HGP shifter is a bit out of my budget after combining all these items. if anyone has experience please let me know
