Logitech's G Pro Racing Wheel and Moza's R21 Wheel Base are direct drive behemoths, both boasting impressive torque ratings. The Logitech clocks in at 11Nm, while the Moza takes it up a notch (pun intended) with 21Nm. Both have standard quick release mechanisms for effortless wheel detachment. But that's where the similarities end.
I've seen users report inconsistent performance from both wheels, but in different ways. The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel seems to suffer from some reliability issues - one user had a wheel break after just three months of use, with the company's support being less than stellar. I've read about pedals' USB cables exiting on either side for cable management, which is a nice touch, but it also implies that users have been experiencing issues with the original design.
Another problem plaguing the Logitech is the potential for notchiness and vibrations when not in use - some claim it's normal, while others are at their wit's end trying to troubleshoot. I've heard users complain about having to deal with "contractors" in the Philippines instead of actual support staff, which only adds insult to injury.
The Moza R21 Wheel Base isn't without its own set of problems, unfortunately. Some users report a notchy feel when just sitting there with no wheel attached - not exactly ideal for immersion. Others have experienced freezing issues mid-game or random steering lock-ons, requiring costly repairs and replacement parts.
When it comes to raw power and performance, the Moza R21 Wheel Base is clearly the winner here, with its 21Nm torque rating giving it a significant edge over the Logitech's 11Nm. But at what cost? It seems like users will need to deal with some serious reliability concerns - the type of issues that'll make you question the value for money.
That being said, if you're on a budget and don't mind taking on some risk, the Moza R21 might be worth considering. Just be prepared for the possibility of costly repairs or replacements down the line. If I had to pick a winner, I'd say the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel is still your best bet - it may not have the same level of raw power as its rival, but at least you know what you're getting.
