I have one thing I want to add to this review, I ordered the R9 and the GS wheel 2 days ago. I had some issues with completing the payment (which was an issue on my part, Moza had nothing to do with this) and because of this I had to shoot them email. They responded to both the emails I send over the last 2 days, within 12 hours. I have only heard positives things about Moza's customer support, cant say the same thing for Fanatec.

Of course they are quick with responses, it is a small company. Fanatec has had over 12,000 orders in a 17 day span from when I bought my CSL DD and went back 17 days later for another order. Fanatec probably gets close to a thousand emails a week for support and basic questions, etc.

@@Toutvids Actually, Moza is already an established company that makes camera equipment. They are new in sim racing, but they aren’t a small company. I just received my R9 and GS wheel this week. I emailed them to ask when my order would be shipped because the seven days of processing time they claimed on their website had passed by a day or two. They responded very quickly and my order was shipped and actually arrived earlier than expected. I’ve owned many pieces of Fanatec gear and they have a history of slow response time to emails. In actuality, I think Moza is a bigger company and that is why they have better customer support.

The thing I hate the most about Fanatec is that they don't sell through retailers while their own shopping experience and customer support are so shitty. Everything takes forever to ship and they ship via FedEx in the US. If something went wrong, it takes at least a week before anyone replies and asks for something I've already written in the support ticket, and then wait another week… But Fanatec is the only one that offers PS5-compatible direct-drive bases, so I had to cope with them… MOZA products look fantastic, but I literally can't choose them for the same reason.

@trippulggaming26 2 жыл бұрын
A big thing to consider which isn't mentioned in this video is the quality of customer service you can expect from each company. I haven't heard much about Moza, but Fanatec's customer service since the release of the CSL DD / GT DD Pro has been downright awful. 2-3 weeks (or longer) response time for support tickets is unacceptable when paying this amount of money for a product. Fanatec built these products to a price point that was previously unheard of, and they knew they'd need to cut corners to do so. Build quality and reliability took a hit as a result. Fanatec failed to adequately bolster their customer service department to handle what they undoubtedly should have known would be a sizeable increase in support requests, and now they are paying the price with unhappy customers and poor word-of-mouth. Sure, Fanatec equipment is great...when it works. But when it doesn't, and you need help...ask yourself before buying if you really want to take the chance that if you (God forbid) need an RMA, you'll potentially be looking at 2-3 months before getting a working piece of equipment back in your hands.

Unless you play exclusively on console, there is no advantage to go for Fanatec over other brands. I personally had a CSL DD on preorder, but that was before doing thorough research. Once I realized that I could mix and match gear I wanted, I cancelled my preorder and went with the VRS DFP. Since I knew I mainly wanted to play rally and simcade type stuff, I didn't feel the need for a wheel with a button plate attached, so I was able to save a ton of money that way. In the end, I ended up spending only about $100 more for my setup (wheelbase, rim, pedals, shifter) for a MUCH better wheelbase than the CSL DD.

@@dukedub I will agree that the pc cost much more to build but the game selection on PC blows the console out of the water not to mention the amount of games that are years old but still kept fresh with 3rd party and community content which is not allowed on consoles. Then take into consideration that consoles severely limit your choice of peripherals to only licensed to the console options and if you are a flight/space sim player or even race sim player your choices of plug-n-play gear is so limited as compared to what is available it is a joke. Do not even consider many VR headset options that also are not console compatible. So yes, console is cheaper but the experience and options are also very limited as compared to PC gaming as well.

if you are starting out then 5nm would be enough, but if youre coming from the t300rs for example then you will definitely need the 8nm. also you have to factor in what kind of motorsport you do, if you mainly drift then you dont need something higher than 5nm, but if you compete in competitive racing like iracing then 8nm is absolutely the way to go

The fanatec quick release system has already been failing and the plastic cracks easily. If you upgrade to the better quick release it is an extra $100. That puts them much closer in price. That being said the moza gs wheel is a way better wheel than the mclaren wheel. In my opinion the extra $120 is worth it for the moza setup with a gs wheel. The price of the wheel is more but the wheel is twice as good as the plastic fanatec wheel!

Dont think it was mentioned but you can change your fanatec wheel setting though the steering wheel... the pedal prices were not taken into consideration. Although its a non issue for pc as you can use basically anything available. Fanatec does have the entry level pedals like the csl load cedal pedals for 200 and moza currently only has the crp pedal for 499. Which was something i took into consideration when i purchased my csl DD. Was about 1000 out the door with the wheel base, csl load cell brake pedal kit, csl universal hub, and mclaren gt3 wheel . A moza set up would have been more like 1500 so i went with save a few hundred dollars lol. I do believe moza will have a excellent line up in the future.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit silly that he contended at the end that Moza was a better value, but did said very little to support it truly being better except one extra Nm of tqe 🙄. Fanatec is more detailed, costs less unless if you're pairing it with a wheel that doesn't really fit the same budget, and offers console support, not to mention a stronger ecosystem overall. Moza is a strong contender, and may well be a better value one day when their options expand, but as it stands right now, you would have to be a pc only user, not care as much about detail, get pedals from elsewhere, and already have it budgeted to pair a $500 wheel with a $400 wheelbase.

That and they should slash the price of the wheelbases by $100 just to wrestle the value crown back from Moza... But that'll never happen. Fanatec is going to continue to drag its feet on the quick release, and bank on most of its customers not knowing about the R9. I'll tell you this. If the R9 were available when I ordered the CSL-DD back in May. I'd have it instead. Lighter and smaller are absolute wins for my needs.

@@mqt5 did it already! as a drifter, i'm very happy i changed. and i say this especially from ffb feel perspective. to be more explicit, moza has that ffb equlizer setting tab that when turned to higher values (300-500) it does a simmilar job as damper does (eliminating bad oscilation of st wheel), but at the same time it doesn't decrease the speed/responsivness of the wheel. So u end up with a very nice ffb that catches the car very well during transitions, etc, and doesn't do shaky wired oscilations... I couldn't get this out of Csl dd.

I really like what Moza is doing. You may pay a bit more, but it seems you are getting a proportional step up in performance and quality over Fanatec. The McLaren GT3 rim is a good rim, for sure, but it's still a hunk of plastic. The Moza rim is something you could find in a real race car, and has much more functionality. 1 Nm might not seem like a lot, but it's 12.5% more available torque than the Fanatec. That's significant. It means you can set up your FFB so that you can feel the finer sensations more clearly without clipping the big stuff. The lower profile of the Moza base is also a plus if you want to get your monitor as low and close as possible. Just keep in mind that cheaper doesn't mean better value. I can tell you from experience that it really sucks to miss races and watch your rig collect dust because you had to send your rim back to repair a broken pin.
@lindigj Жыл бұрын
This is sort of a personal preference thing though. I prefer having multiple wheels for different disciplines and not have to pay $500+ for each. Not to mention for me a huge part of the "value" of fanatec is console support so I can play with my buddies who don't have PC. I actually consider the mclaren's light weight to be a major plus since it takes less tqe to drive it, which at least in that setup narrows the gap between the 1 Nm difference. I think Moza caters to a very specific crowd and can be the definitive choice for some, but Fanatec caters to a wider audience.

Obviously none of the cars you drove were a Superkart or a 90s Indycar because then you'd understand those things produce 30NM+ of wheel torque so your comment is irrelevant. And even in my real car, when I hit a pothole or the kerb on a racetrack I can feel the sudden jolt in the wheel and the spike of the "force feedback" in it. The point of the higher nm wheel is to have a greater dynamic range and to help you fill in the gaps of the feeling which are missing from real life (like suspension travel)

"Digging into the data, an IndyCar team provided Road & Track with a graphical depiction of the phenomenon. Using a torque sensor installed in the steering column, teams use the information to quantify the twisting forces being applied by their drivers. Here, at St. Petersburg, the section where the greatest turning effort is required comes in Turn 3 wherein rotating the Indy car through the quick corner onto the long back straight requires a peak of 32.1 lb-ft of torque from the driver. On its own, 32.1 lb-ft might not look like an imposing number. The average torque rating for a lug nut on a passenger car wheel is nearly triple that figure, but with a socket installed on the nut and a long lever to apply the weight of your body to torquing the nut, the force required becomes manageable." 32.1 lb ft converts to 43.5 nm. And that's the modern Indycar which is actually less powerful and more controllable than the older ones. There isn't a single wheelbase on the planet that can replicate those forces yet. So stop spreading your bullshit misinformation.
