Barry Rowland is the Bob Ross of sim racing. I love watching these videos, even if its a review of something I don't plan on buying / don't have a particular interest in.
Picked up a set of these yesterday and did about an hour of driving, they feel really good. Huge upgrade from my T3PA Pros with load cell mod. Plus, they look fantastic.
its mesmerizing to watch you drive. i dont care for most of the stuff you review but i enjoy watching your videos anyway would be cool to see you review software and games too
46:25 Looks to me, that you should first install the loadcell and bolt it, only then place the cover instead of fiddling with aligning the holes like you did. I love how you take everything apart and show us the guts of these products. Thank you for having this channel Barry
Me as well. They seem like a good set of pedals but no one has really reviewed them as thoroughly as the sim racing garage would. I’m kinda concerned about the build quality of them.
I've ordered the new GS and R9 from Moza. Can't wait for your review. Although I'll be keeping my csl elite loadcell till I get a set of HE Pedals. Thx for the review.
@@OhItsThat price point and a few reviews I recently saw. I have the CSL DD and I love it, but I don't want to spend much more and want a better wheel. I love my Mclaren and it's size, but Fanatec doesn't offer a better wheel at a decent price point. I saw this and figured I have spent the same and with fanatec increasing in price. Now is the time to try. If I don't like it. Send it back and keep my Fanatec gear. If I do, sell fanatec and keep the Moza gear. Although I will not get their pedals.
We can arguee the size, but Fanatec Formula V2.5 and V2 are excelent wheels, better than McLaren in all aspects (besides size), carbon fiber and aluminium, comes with metal QR and magnetic shifters by origin...cost 360 and 380 EUR, it's 140, 120 diference...even if we take a better size of Moza, the diference is considerable...but nice to see alternatives, and Moza (and others coming), looks promissing! Good Luck
Nice review, thanks ! Suggestion for mounting back the loadcell part of the brake pedal : perhaps you should separate the loadcell from the electronic and cover parts, let them hang behind, and try to mount the loadcell first, being able to push it from behind. It should make it easier to align the holes and put the screws back. Once done, you should be able to put the electronic and cover parts back over the loadcell, don't you think ? Are the cables long enough ?
hey... compliments on your reviews... your calm manner and technical curiosity are great... just like your english pronunciation, which you can understand very well even if you don't speak english very well... it's really nice to hear and watch you... Thank you and greetings from Germany (translation powered by google 😅 )
Just bought my first set. Have to say, so disappointed. I went straight to the Red Spring, just like Barry and referred to the instructions. When I went to unscrew the bolt/spring assembly, nothing happened, it just kept spinning and spinning and spinning. Fiddled with it for about 2 hours. Nothing moved. I went to re-assemble it, and the pin that goes in the middle no longer fits in. It catches, and gets stuck, unless I get another pin to hammer it out. Spent about 3 hours trying to put it back together with those nylon washers. Failed completely. Brake dis-assembled. Unable to test the set after waiting 1 month for delivery. I have emailed Moza and will update you all their reply. UPDATE: Still awaiting reply. Finally re-assembled the pedals after one whole day, had to use a slightly thinner nylon washer I had laying around and tap the pin in with a hammer. Brake overall feels quite good, however this is a noticeable amount of grain and crunchiness for the first 30% of the pedal stroke when depressed or releasing very slowly. Almost like it has cogging. Almost impossible to have a smooth depress or release. My Thrustmaster TLCM are smoother than this. This is a major concern. Next problem. The clutch. By far the best part about it was using the clutch, amazingly smooth and felt great. Well after 5 hours of use, I kept hearing a rusty creak. I inspected the pedals and it was the clutch. The clutch refuses to return to its original position in line with the brake and throttle. The clutch tends to bind and make a squeaky sound as it is pressed in. Clutch feels different on the foot than it did when I used them. Yes we are talking about 5 hours of use. So far, I am disappointed. I will continue to use them until I hear a reply (might be a while due to Easter break) and update accordingly.
Obviously many rooms for improvement on design details/QC/reliability for many Chinese sim racing equipment manufacturers, I have my P2000 pedal from Simagic which works and feels fantastic (upgrade from fanatec csl) but after 4 months only the electronic controller box died, nth major and had a new one sent to me but I guess this is why big western sim racing brands can still justify the price premium
Man I've been using the CRP pedals for a couple of days and going from a T-LCM pedals to this is wild. I can't understand using anything stiffer than what it's default stiffness is, it's so unlike any car I've ever driven and so stiff that my knee hurts after a 20 minute session.
I just got my crp pedals. The brake pedal is a brick wall. I’m using the yellow stock spring with 0 preload and the sifted rubber and it still still coming for a thruster T3PA lol. I need to the pedals and seat sturdy before I make my judgment.
Which spring settings were you using with the T-LCM's if you don't mind me asking? I have taken the same route as you and my CRP will be arriving in a week.
@@wheelshifter Never changed the springs in my T-LCMs, so I can't say. Whatever they shipped with as a default. I remember reading in the manual that it represented a "medium stiffness".
@@wheelshifter apparently realistic from many real life race drivers who sim race, is black spring on the bottom, then 4 spacers then red on the top for T LCMs
Hi! I recommend you to do a review on the Cammus wheelbase and their pedals, maybe if you get to buy the shifter and or the handbrake it would be nice!
Hi Barry, just came across your channel a few weeks ago and subbed. You are amazing. Do you think you could do a top tier a mid tier and entry tier review of equipment. Like say the top 3 or 4 in each category, say pedals, then in another video cockpit, wheel hub, monitors, etc. maybe even only doing the videos dedicated to the 3 tiers separately so as to break them down. With so many equipment choices, it would be helpful to newbie’s so we don’t waste money by upgrading, instead of being informed and saving or waiting for the right equipment within your respected budget. Thank you.
Got my P1X 62 hours after ordering from their website. It shipped from the Netherlands to east coast US in 62 hours. I had it assembled shortly there after. I'd highly recommend ordering soon as they go out of stock frequently. Make sure you order all accessories with it that you could want as shipping after the fact is very expensive (at least to the US ~75 Euro)
@@Mistio. Make sure depending on your shifter you have a correct shifter mount. If you're going with the fanatec one or one styled like that you should pick up the mount for it. If you want the monitor mount, include it. Sliders for both the seat and the pedal box (being that I'm the only one using my rig I decided against these). If you're close then shipping probably won't be as high.
I have been using these pedals for 3 weeks and continue to have issues with the clutch pedal signal. For some reason the clutch software thinks the pedal is engaged. This is a problem that goes away I unplug the usb and plug it in again. The problem returns shortly after. I opened a case with Moza but no response after 1 week.
my yellow brake spring is really really tight. the brake does not move at all. when i try to unscrew the spring out it won’t turn. also i am put it the pedals on the floor. it tilts back ward when i press on the brake too hard. don’t know how to mount it to the floor or on a board neither.
hey can put the brake instead of the clutch... I would like to buy this kit but I want to configure it with 2 pedals and I wonder if the cable is long enough? if this is not the case is it possible to extend it and what is the connector? thank you
Did yours come with that 90 degree usb cable. Mine are not at 90 degrees.. also the back of the r5 base looks like it takes some kind of ethernet cable. What do i hook up there.. i don't have that cable.
Coming from modded g29 pedals. With this newer updated model, I don’t know whether to go with these or Fanatec V3’s. About $100 difference when you add the performance kit to the V3’s. Trying to decide before the Fanatec price hike
@@AmirPomen I actually ended up going with Moza. There were just shipped a couple of days ago so we’ll so how that goes! The Simagics are absolutely awesome but I couldn’t justify spending $300 extra for those when I’m still rocking a g29 wheel lol
Finally bought it very disappointed I can't adjust anything it's like hercules has built it out of the three adjustment I can't do a single one on any pedal... Plus my throttle is pretty noisy and not smooth at all even after lubing (without disassembling because I can't :'c )... Did I get bamboozled and got one of the first version wtf ?
These guys are legit. I just think the should have pitched a slightly cheaper market - where there is a real gap - between the enthusiast fanatec and casual thrustmaster
Seems like they're trying to compete directly with fanatec, and so far everything they've released looks like it's at least on the same level as fanatecs stuff
Hi, sorry if I'm a little off topic but do you think the Fanatec CSL with LC kit would be a nice upgrade for my G29 pedals? I also plan to change the shifter with a Thrustmaster TH8A. I think it could be a good setup until I get rich and I can buy a good wheel with DD base (probably never)
Personally for the base I would choost the R9, and I have an option to use DIY wheel coupled with Moza's QR adapter. Cheaper than buying the GS (which is actually briliant wheel). For the pedals CSL pedals or even V3 are better option
@@emond202020 I don't say the Fanatec pedals (in this case the V3 because it's similiar with the CRP) are better than the CRP. I just say it's proven, and better resale value (just in case), so overall it's the better option. And it's marginally cheaper as well. The Fanatec V3 with the brake performance kit costs $419, while the CRP costs $499
Hello barry I’m currently in the market for some pedals and deciding between the moza crp and heusinkveld sprints and since you tried them both i thought i would ask you which one is better
39:35 red spring or softest rubber, which one is softer? my break is way too harder than actual car. I changed from rubber to red spring, but still too hard. should I change it to softest rubber, which is more softer than red spring?
The brake pedal was too hard for me.. I basically had to stomp on the brake to get full range with my heal off the plate.. very uncomfortable.. Sold my CRP and went back to my Fanatec V3's
As awesome and thorough as his videos are it's missing a point of reference. I think a lot of us watch his videos to see if we want to buy something vs another thing. These videos have a TON of information but I can never really determine the benefits of these pedals VS another set. He never compares his reviews of equipment with other equipment.
My guess is for now you're not their target demographic, the domestic Chinese market is probably bigger for them and unless they can sell this through dealers in Europe or other countries shipping cost will continue to be extremely high.
@@juanjosebol Might be, but Chinese have usually the best shipping contracts on this planet. Why even offer shipping costs as high as the product itself is over me.
A little niche company that is fine for pc, but why not go for a company that will survive this economic disaster? This company will disappear and be forgotten soon. Bye.
