Know before you buy
Direct-drive technology eliminates the gears or belts found in entry-level wheels, providing a direct connection between the motor and the steering shaft. This results in zero latency and highly detailed force feedback, allowing you to feel subtle track textures and weight shifts instantly.
Yes, the R9 V3 utilizes Moza’s standard quick-release system, making it fully compatible with the entire ecosystem of Moza Racing steering wheels.
The R9 V3 offers significantly higher torque and fidelity compared to belt-driven alternatives. Because there are no internal belts to stretch or gears to wear down, the force feedback remains consistent and responsive even during long, intense racing sessions.
The R9 V3 features a robust mounting pattern compatible with most aluminum profile rigs and dedicated sim racing cockpits. Due to the high torque output of direct-drive motors, it is recommended to mount it to a rigid surface to prevent flex and ensure the best feedback quality.
Absolutely. While it is designed for serious racers, the R9 V3 is user-friendly and highly adjustable via the Moza Pit House software. You can easily tune the force feedback settings to match your experience level as you become more comfortable with the increased power.
