As the manufacturer’s first entry into the console world, the R3 includes a base with 3.9 Nm torque, a wheel with Xbox-specific controls, and an SR-P Lite pedal set. To celebrate the release of this innovative gear on June 4th,Game Rant is giving away the R3 systemto one lucky reader.
Game Rant has regularly included MOZA products in its rankings of thebest racing wheels. Most racing sim enthusiasts agree that direct-drive wheel bases provide more accurate and responsive force feedback than gear or belt-driven alternatives. With wheels attaching directly to motorized bases, feedback on different road surfaces is instant and convincing. Unfortunately, this type of racing sim gear tends to be pricey, which is why the MOZA R3 appeals to such a wide audience. Even with a reasonable $399 price point, the R3 doesn’t sacrifice any of the performance and build quality the brand is known for.
The R3’s most integral part is its base, which can attach to gaming desks with an included clamp or varioussim racing cockpits. It’s small enough that Xbox gamers with limited space can fit the gear into their setups and quickly swap its location. The base’s construction is reinforced with aluminum alloy, and the motor’s temperature is regulated to avoid overheating. Another advantage of direct drive technology is that wheels are swappable, opening the door for the type of racing wheels used in EA’s latestF1 24release.
Mismatched controls are a problem Xbox gamers face when using PC-based wheels. That’s not an issue with the MOZA R3 since it’s been designed from the ground up for Microsoft’s console. On the included wheel, racers will find buttons to navigate the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One menus and share screenshots proving their victories to friends. If Xbox users demand higher customization, the wheel boasts 22 remappable buttons. Additional features like an illuminated RPM gauge only add to the immersion of sim racing. This component shares the same sturdy construction as the R3’s base and includes ISF grips to avoid hands slipping during the most intense racing action.
Flimsy pedals often detract from a racing sim experience, making accelerating and breaking frustrating. Fortunately, despite a reasonably small footprint, the SR-P Lite pedals bundled with the R3 will remain firmly in place. The pedals react appropriately to the most subtle pressure, allowing gamers to maintain racing lines and trim valuable milliseconds off their lap times. Continuing the theme of customization throughout the rest of the R3, racers can adjust the distance between the pedals and fine-tune how they respond to inputs.
Also compatible with PCs, the MOZA R3 is ideal for gamers with multi-platform setups. However, even if an Xbox is the primary system, gamers can finally remove any disadvantages of racing on a console. For those that don’t winGame Rant’s giveaway of the R3, the system will be available for purchase onMoza’s websitestarting on June 4th for $399.
