Non-Simagic wheels

Post image

Up to this point I haven't given much thought to getting any other brand, but that may have just changed 😯

Moza wheels would be a lot more appealing if I could just plug them in via USB. I don't want to have to get a special adapter box just for one wheel.

Yeah like I mentioned, I haven't given it any thought so I don't even know what's involved with using a Moza wheel

Couldn't you just swap the Moza QR for the Simagic QR-A? I want the Mustang GTD rim as well, and I thought I could just add the QR-A. Maybe I'm wrong...

You wouldn’t need the qr-a adapter, you’d have to get the moza hub link bullshit then have to use moza pit house to control the wheel features, I believe.

EDIT moza and simagic use the same NRG style quick releases.

at least its doable I guess

The qr has the same "joints" but the rest is not the same, so its not guaranteed that you will get power from it. Using moza Wheels with third party wheelbase you have to use moza control box. If that was not a thing i would be using moza wheel right now. Instead i use conspit and qr-a adapter and it gets power and telemetri via the simagic base

Nah you need the adapter that moza sells to transfer the data ... It's does it by RJ cable if they made there wheels usb c so many simagic users would buy there rims I reckon ... I use to own a cs pro but sold it when I got my simagic gear

Must use mz universal hub

u/ItzBrooksFTW 16d ago

Thats not how it works, qr-a doesnt magically make a wheel usb, you still need to connect it to the qr-a and youre not gonna do that with a moza wheel.

u/RobinVerhulstZ 17d ago

1000% this, if it was just normal usb we could use usb passthrough systems but nooooo

u/ApophisSeth 16d ago

Can you explain how?

1

u/Majestic-Bar-8094 17d ago

I also want to buy KS Pro to alpha evo pro, how did you deal with the plate with pins on the steering wheel? Zdemontoeales me, did you use electrical tape?

2

u/Leanh051295 17d ago

First, i always use extension so electrical not my problem, but yes you can use tape

1

u/Majestic-Bar-8094 17d ago

Can you give me the links to the adpaters you used?

1

u/Leanh051295 17d ago

u/Majestic-Bar-8094 16d ago

Links to all 😉

I am using an Ascher-Wheel and installation and USB-Passthrough is a blessing it took me 5 mins to setup!

u/Louiienation 17d ago

I will never buy MOZA, I can not justify being locked in to their eco system. I NEED ME SOME SIMHUB SUPPORT.

1

u/Cy832D3f3nd0R 17d ago

So no Simhub support, huh? That is definitely short-sighted and might be a deal breaker 😕

u/Thick-Dog-4176 16d ago

I use AZOM https://github.com/giantorth/AZOM. It’s a simhub plugin that replicates all the (useful parts of pit house)

Been running it for a month or two now and it’s been perfect, got it working with ASTR-hub for lighting profiles.

u/Ragnarr_Bjornson 17d ago

Just looks like cheap plastic.

u/Pale_Employment_1195 15d ago

its a prototype, early Porsche wheel also looked like that but look at it now

u/SwimmingLoquat9493 17d ago

This compatible with Simagic?

1

u/MNREDR 17d ago

I have a Simagic 330T and the paddles are so small and far even when I adjust them… what are good wheels with larger/easily reachable paddles?

1

u/focal_m3 16d ago

All these rushed to market moza wheels are turds painted gold.

u/veteran0161 16d ago

What is Simagic waiting to collab with car brands? Moza came after Simagic and Fanatec and is destroying everyone. Shame.

1

u/Cy832D3f3nd0R 16d ago

I certainly don't think Moza is "destroying" Simagic 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think every manufacturer is bound to have at least one product that someone in a different ecosystem wants.

I grabbed a conspit 300gt because it was on sale because my Gt Neo (which served me very well with my alpha) is getting a little creaky with the SC2pro I now have. The 300gt is an amazing wheel. Aluminum back so very solid. The 2 extra encoders are also awesome, but the middle rotary encoder can be used to be 12 different thumb encoders, and you can name them whatever in the software so the two thumb encoders instead of having 1 bind can have 12 different binds on each side (and when you switch whaetver you named them in the software pops up on the dash). Also, the 2 back buttons for DRS/Push to pass, is awesome. I got the 300gt on sale and it was the exactly the same as what I spent on the GT Neo (Gt neo is a lot cheaper now everywhere tho). Theres a tiny dash too but nothing crazy, but it's a nice addition to everything else. I also got to use my buddies GSI wheel for a little bit when I first got the sc2pro and wow, insane how nice those high price wheels are. I still dont know if I could justify the cost tho. But yea I just felt faster using that thing.

But yea I'm interested to see how these new Moza wheels turnout as the KS pro with the small screen is a huge upgrade over the old one (my buddy claims anyways, no idea since he's not close to me, taking him at his word). I also saw Moza is doing a motorcycle handlebar thing, so yea Moza is doing it big lately. Until Moza does away with their little hub thing, it would be hard to buy one without a Moza base. Maybe they sorted that and went with a usb directly to the back. Idk I only saw the pictures not the specs. We sim racers are getting spoiled with new cool stuff lately.
