Moza R3 Racing Bundle (Xbox & PC)
Entry-level 3.9 Nm direct drive with wheel and pedals, licensed for Xbox Series X|S and PC
Moza's smallest direct-drive base, sold only as a bundle with an Xbox-version ES rim, two SR-P Lite pedals and a table clamp. It's the cheapest way to get direct-drive smoothness on Xbox, but at 3.9 Nm its strength is closer to a good belt wheel.

Pros and cons
- Complete direct-drive kit (base, rim, pedals, clamp) for roughly the price of a Logitech G923
- Works on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC out of the box
- Quiet and smooth, with no gear rattle or belt notchiness
- 3.9 Nm is light: heavier cars feel vague and there's little headroom
- SR-P Lite pedals have no load cell
- No PlayStation support
Watch out: No PlayStation support at all. On Xbox, keep the bundled Xbox ES rim (or use the ESX); Moza's other rims are PC-only.
What it feels like
- Strength
- Detail
- Smoothness
- Noise
- Heat
Strong enough to feel weight and loss of grip, but you can overpower it with your hands.
Clean and smooth for the price, with no belt or gear feel.
Quiet on a desk, with little heat from a 60 W supply.
Like a good power-steering car at parking speed: clearly engaged, but not heavy.
What the R3 works with
- Works on Xbox Series and PC. On Xbox it needs an Xbox-licensed wheel.
- In the box: Moza ES Steering Wheel, Xbox version (R3 bundle) and Moza SR-P Lite Pedals (R3 bundle).
- Wheels attach with the Moza quick release.
- Pedals plug into the base, which is what lets them work on console.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The R3 bundle is one of the cheapest ways to get direct drive force feedback on an Xbox, and it also works on a Windows PC. You get the R3 base, an Xbox-licensed ESX rim, SR-P Lite pedals and a table clamp kit. That covers everything except a desk and a game. The base peaks at 3.9 Nm with a 15-bit encoder. That is plenty of detail for a first rig, though it won't match stronger bases once you push hard in fast corners. It runs on a 60 W external 12 V supply, so it is not a high-draw device. The pedals are a two-pedal set with Hall sensors, and a clutch is a separate add-on. They are fine for starting out, but they are the first part many people upgrade. The R3 sits in the Moza ecosystem, so you can later swap in other Moza rims through the quick release or add a stronger base. Two cautions: a clamp mount on a flimsy desk will flex, and Xbox play needs the licensed rim. Check the exact rim in the box before buying, since listings differ.
Questions buyers ask
Does it work on Xbox and PC?
Yes. Moza lists the bundle as officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and compatible with Windows 10/11. Supported Xbox games include Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport and the F1 series.
What is in the box?
The R3 direct drive base, the ESX steering wheel, SR-P Lite pedals, a table clamp kit and the external power supply. There is no clutch pedal. A desk or rig is not included.
Can I upgrade it later?
Partly. The rim uses Moza's quick release, so other Moza rims can fit. The pedals can be swapped, and Moza sells a clutch add-on for the SR-P Lite. Check Xbox licensing before you change the rim or base for console play.
