AU Deals: With Moza R3 PC Bundle and Wreckfest 2, the cheapest price and more!
Blog Andrew Joseph 06 Apr , 2025 0
Moza's R3 PC wheel and pedal bundle is a competitive price and competing pit stop for any newcomer looking to drag lead into the simulation. Additionally, it's an ideal, instant package that will refurbish the engine of anyone who dreams of shaving PB on the track, and more about the POS cars in Wreckfest 2.
That's almost what I decided to throw my Moza R3 at. I spent a lovely, metallic holiday from the usual test direct drive wheels and perfect lines of test direct drive wheels. Is that an unorthodox test bed? Something. But I insist that the Wreckage series is a low-deficit portal racer that can eventually create serious rally addicts.
Better than that, though, it's just fun compared to physical A-GO and powerful force feedback.
Although the 3.9nm thrumm in that wheelbase doesn't have a complete redline to its peak power, it's still a solid and stylish DD unit that buzzes like a finely tuned machine. Unlike the entry-level clumsy, noisier gear-driven competitor, the R3 is whispering Quiet, which is ridiculous by comparison. Even better, the bundle is extremely friendly, so upgrading your ride is a bondage without having to swap the entire chassis.
Moza R3 – Design and Features
The Moza R3 Racing and Pedal Bundle is a comprehensive plug-in racing system. Inside the box you'll find Moza's new 3.9 nm R3 wheelbase, a 280mm PC-compatible steering wheel, a set of SR-P Lite pedals, and a separate desk clip. Trust me, once FFB is gone, you will need the last piece of kit. Jerry kidnapped or half-obstructed stuff will prevent this suction cup when the car starts the wheels.
The said jig is made entirely of steel and is as stiff as hell – stronger than plastic alternatives and has a spacious 50mm jig space. Through the chaos of “Wreckage 2”, I certainly make money with this rigid money. Thanks to a direct system with a reinforcing table and a direct four-seat hole, the R3 wheelbase can be fixed, so this setting is well maintained under pressure from force feedback.
The R3 weighs only 2.29 kg, has a height of 120 mm, a width of 135 mm and a length of only 93 mm (excluding the steering shaft), and the R3 is a pocket rocket with wheelbase. Its loose industrial design gives it a serious racing aesthetic – more race-ready than some of the competing older plastic flips.

I also like the ports at the back are neatly arranged for easy access, with slots for pedals, dashboard display, gear lever, manual rack, and even emergency stop equipment. Out of the box, the only thing you need is the pedal port, but scaling is as easy as adding an aftermarket to a project car. There are also two threaded holes on the top for mounting the Moza’s dash display.
On the wheel side, what you are here by default is a comfortable D-shaped event with grippy polyurethane packaging. I love the clicking, scull shifter feel made of solid ferrous metal. I dug out some customizations that Moza allows here – the brushed metal rims are removable and can be used with alternative rims to better serve the game discipline of your choice.
Below the equator we have the pedal set of R3, which is just the accelerator and brakes. If you're looking for a clutch experience – this makes a lot of sense for the OG muscle car in Wreckfest 2, you can buy an extra third pedal. The price seems reasonable, and I know from experience that Moza's ecosystem is just a simple installation.
Apart from that, these metal pedals are more powerful than some plastic alternatives on the market. Resistance comes from springs rather than load batteries, so while they aren't champion-level, they should be enough for entry-level SIM racing drivers. There is also surprising adjustability, the pedal can be repositioned higher or lower, and the entire pedal unit can be moved left or right.
Moza R3 X Wreckfest 2: Performance
With peak torque of 3.9 nm, the R3 is not a torque monster, but it is in the slides of other entry-level competitors with similar price points. It's also great for some low-risk, throwing fun in physically heavy (but still arcade) titles like Wreckfest 2.
However, I won't lie to you. I do need to do some tinkering to get Wreckfest 2 to talk to R3 at least initially. However, due to the ever-changing early access landscape, some hotspot patches mean I no longer need to constantly re-fix/twist my pedals in Moza's (usually powerful) Pit House software. Everything is doing what it can, and obviously, support will only get better as more fixes are pushed.
The R3's FFB feels great when you're driving sideways into other cars – when you use the “Dodgem Cars” turn logic to bounce the warhead while some competitors are put into the tree. Again, when you are on the receiving end of this tactic, you get the feeling through the steering wheel and are forced to shred through some random fence or tire piles, which is good guts.
Aside from the collision of cars, it might be satisfying if I don't emphasize a series of clean racing cars – that's a basic and intimate FFB conversation, I'll give up too. Apparently, since the Wreckfest 2 is closer to the Rally experience than the stable one-sided track racer, each lap can feel like a series of plot twists and turns. You'd better believe that your hands will notice the difference when you drift from the asphalt to gravel to the dirt and return again.
Oh, no doubt, at any time, relaxing temporarily in any power feedback, then wrist vibrations, and that's…well, the chef's kiss experience. I can provide you with two memorable examples. First, whenever you get some sick Hazzard Air Dukes and land on something you shouldn't have. Two, turned upside down from a bad corner, bent into neutral, and then completely and unexpectedly blinded by some people's AI, trying to break By you.
By the way, I want to say that POV racing in Wreckfest 2 is quite rough racing like Mini horror games. As your peripherals flicker and snap the car's cabin, each game is basically a series of hairless jumping fears that can reach out and grab your wheels. Obviously, this “driving eggshell” feels more obvious when you participate in the actual demolition derby event, and some assholes will only tilt your hat over 80% of the windshield.
Honestly, these unexpected crashes will feel for any gamer who catches Moza R12 or higher. These effects you will get with a 12 or 16 nm grunt sound are certainly a reason to warn labels. Hell, even a surprisingly shocking moment in the R3's 3.9 nm force, also offers a considerable manual rattle. It may sound unthinkable, and you may actually find yourself rejecting it.
That being said, comparing the Moza R3 bundle to the early access antics of Wreckfest 2 is one of the most interesting things I've done all year to date. Even as the proud owner of the Moza R12 wheelbase and every fancy add-on that comes with it, I was impressed by the performance and value proposition of this brother bundle. If you have a budget desire to join a simulated scenario, or you just want to Feel After the tariffs, things are harder to collapse than the stock market – I said to turn on the keys on the R3.
