The Cammus C5 Direct Drive and Moza R16 Wheel Base are neck-and-neck in terms of specs. Both offer direct drive, standard quick release, and PC compatibility. However, Moza takes the lead with a whopping 16Nm torque rating compared to Cammus' 5Nm. On paper, Moza seems like the better choice for serious sim racers.
I've seen users plagued by Cammus' reliability issues - faulty pedals, unresponsive customer support, and a laundry list of problems that'll make your wallet weep. The lack of community love from prominent YouTubers should raise some red flags. Don't even get me started on the shipping nightmares. I've been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. It's not just about the price tag; it's about the overall experience. Moza, while still plagued by issues, seems like a more premium product in terms of build quality and performance. However, users are reporting overheating and base spinning problems - the kind of failures that'll keep you up at night wondering if your sim rig will survive another session. The 'Hands Off' protection fix? Forget about it; power cycle is still your best bet. The big problem here is that both manufacturers seem to be prioritizing sales over quality control. It's infuriating, especially when you've invested a pretty penny in these products. I'd rather not have to deal with the stress of potential failures every time I sit down for a sim session.
For serious sim racers who can stomach the risk, Moza R16 Wheel Base might be worth the premium price point. Its 16Nm torque rating is hard to ignore, and while it's not perfect, it seems like a more robust product overall. However, if you're on a tighter budget or don't want to deal with the drama of potential failures, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Cammus C5 Direct Drive? Avoid it unless you enjoy playing roulette with your sim setup. The price is laughable compared to Moza's premium offering, but the quality and reliability just aren't there.
