A great direct drive bundle to start with, plenty of torque and FFB detail

I re-entered the Sim Racing world after 10 years of break, and went straight into Direct Drive.
After some research I decided to pull the trigger with the R5 Bundle.
Such a great choice. Great power and fine tuning, the quick release mechanism is pure pleasure and work flawlessly and scream quality (it's all metal).
The base never gave me any issue, plenty of power in my opinion, force feedback is very granular and detailed.
Recently I paired it with the RS V2 wheel, which is perfectly capable of handling it, at the cost of an increased dampening due to the increased weight of the RS V2 wheel. Although I've found it even less robotic and more realistic due to the increased inertia!
Also used it with the GS V2P wheel, and even with that it's a dream.
The Moza Pit House is well done and it has a clean interface.
The Moza App from the phone allows for real time adjustments!
Overall a great bundle to enter Sim Racing world with direct drive.
I've just upgraded it yesterday with a R9 V2, as I wanted a little bit more power.
Sold the R5 online and it went within 1h! :-D
Although I highly recommend purchasing the brake performance mod kit as without it there's very little resistance in the brake pedal and it's not very realistic, as well as difficult to balance your brake force.
Apart from that, highly recommended.
Amazing feel, quick delivery

To be honest the R5's 5.5 nm of Torque is plenty. I would not place this wheelbase in the weak category at all. As the stock ES wheel is quite heavy compared to other wheels I would imagine a wider, lighter wheel like the Moza KS would also be an acceptable experience. I advise everyone who gets the R5 bundle to purchase the 'SR-P Lite' brake pedal performance upgrade kit from the 'get go'. It works so well with the R5 bundled pedals that I don't see a need to upgrade them anytime soon. The 'Moza Pithouse' software is very easy to navigate and for settings and reviews, I would definitely recommend the 'Race Beyond Matter' Ytub'er. His info matched perfectly with my experience of the R5. One hiccup that can occur sometimes with some R5 & R9 bases is the wheel centering itself a few degrees off of center after a Moza f/w update but it should be sorted by using the 'Wheel Base Recovery and Reset' option in the 'Recovery & Reset' tab in the 'Pithouse' software itself (follow the on-screen instructions). It not only fixes the issue but also makes the wheel rotation smoother as well. This info should have been in a manual somewhere as a troubleshooting tip. Apart from getting a KS wheel at some point, I don't really see the need to upgrade for years to come. Hope your R5 experience is as good as mine.
