As I'm sure is the case for the majority of people reading this, MOZA Sim Racing is a brand we hadn't even heard of a few weeks ago. Developed and manufactured in China by a team of ex BOSCH staff (or so we're told), these brand new products fall under a new division of the MOZA brand who have been manufacturing other mechatronic hardware such as camera gymbals and even automotive active suspension systems for a number of years, both of which share many fundamental ties with the technologies used in Sim Racing Hardware. MOZA Sim Racing are hitting the market with a complete ecosystem of products from a 21NM Peak and 16NM Peak Direct Drive Wheelbase, to Pedals and even a Digital Dash, and they've sent the full kit over for us to check out, so let's dive in! A full review and driving test will of course follow...

When it comes to sim racing pedals, everyone has their preferences. So much of what makes a good set of pedals ultimately boils down to subjectivity. That said, there are some elements which are fundamental to a "good" set of pedals from a design perspective. Meca's Cup 1 Sim Racing Pedals have been on the market for a while now and seem to have established a good reputation among sim racers. So let's put them to the test and see how they stack up!

One of the most commonly discussed topics in sim racing is the impact that equipment has on performance. Many people find their lap times and consistency improve dramatically with more expensive, better quality equipment, but at the same time there are so many examples of people who are unbelievably quick using entry level gear. So in this video series we're going to start from the beginning with an entry level sim rig consisting of a Logitech G923 and Next Level Racing GT-Lite to see what exactly you can expect from a basic rig, then follow through a typical upgrade path to see where the best value lies, and how to best prioritise your spending to get maximum enjoyment from your money! Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro 2:33 - Building the Rig 9:16 - Testing Philosophy Explained & Rig Tour 13:09 - Entry Level Rig Impressions 24:30 - Part 1 Conclusions Thanks to Logitech, Fanatec and Pagnian Imports for making this video series possible.

Pedals, along with a solid mounting solution are generally regarded as single the most important component in a sim racing rig when it comes to turning fast and consistent lap times. So in today's video we'll take a closer look at all the things you need to know to make the right decision for your needs and budget. We'll look at the different types of pedals such as load cell, potentiometer and hall effect sensors, we'll talk about adjustability, pedal feel, ecosystems and much more. __________________________________________ JUMP IN OUR DISCORD COMMUNITY HERE: https://discord.gg/7YzjkFQ ___________________________________________ If you'd like to pick up any of the gear you see in my videos, I'd love it if you could use the following links.
