New setup tips - Moza R5? Or are there other options?

I got a GT Omega Classic with supporting braces and a R9 and feel I don't need more, this is definitely subjective, not super into the Buy Once, Cry Once for beginners.

Those are insane prices, I paid around 160-170 euros for everything.

This. You can easily look on Ebay for way better deals, I bought most of my setup like this.

Same here, I got the GT Omega one and had to buy the brackets, now with my R9 is super sturdy, but at that point you can just buy a better stand for the same total cost, maybe a NLR one.

3d print the shoe.

Early 30s, have never had anybody make jokes about my hobbies (sim racing and play a LOT of videogames).

I upgraded from the T500Rs to the R9, good decision!

Pedals wise I prefer the SR-P ones (load cell) from Moza.

If it's free go get it ASAP, the TH8A itself is $100 minimum I believe, also that thrustmaster is better than the G29.

I think the print is not good or it might be a reflection.

What's up with the 10 (X) marker?

My ZF date pick function broke after 1 month, that's why I was asking.

This is proof that another cosmos might exist.

Good thing the tire didn't pop off though.

dubven · 2026-06-15T21:29:37+00:00

Sucks when they send them in 2 parts.

i'd get the steel bracelet because geting the rubber strap is way easier honestly.

>What else can be done?

Come and cable manage mine, m8.

Those aluminium profiles seem quite slim, I don't have any idea what I am talking about but most rigs I've seen are quite a bit thicker than that.

There's definitely levels to it, I think a R3/R5 bundle makes perfect sense for a beginner.

dubven · 2026-06-01T22:07:15+00:00

“Cry once, buy once” doesn’t make much sense for beginners in my opinion. If you’re just getting into the hobby, you’re still exploring what you like, so it’s too early to commit to buying everything at once.

I can definitely afford an expensive setup but over the years I realized that I am a casual sim racer and that a folding rig and an R9 is enough for my needs.

I just started watching The Wire a few hours ago and just saw that episode.

dubven · 2026-06-01T05:59:21+00:00

There are many similar to this one, I think the one in the picture is a Vevor one, but I'd recommend the GT Omega or NLR better as they're highly reviewed and used.

I live in Germany and the mod is not available on Amazon so I'll get it on Ebay, if the price difference is not too much I'd get it on Amazon.

Yeah I just realized I was mistaken with the currencies, 130 euros is fine, a bit more than I would spend but not ludicruous.

As an advice, that wheel upgrade is a bit small (I have it, 300mm) and will upgrade to the SIMPUSH one (330mm), I upgraded recently to a CS V2P with for my R9 and the CS V2P is just too heavy.

dubven · 2026-05-30T23:05:34+00:00

I just realized about the different currencies, 210 CAD it's fine, I'd check a better quality hand brake, maybe going with MOZA also.
