The VRS DirectForce Pro and Moza R12 Wheel Base are both direct drive wheel bases with a standard quick release. The VRS DirectForce Pro boasts 20Nm of torque, while the Moza R12 has 12Nm. Both products claim to be compatible with PC platforms.
I've seen users struggle with FFB issues on both wheels, but it seems more common on the VRS DirectForce Pro. Some folks have reported that plugging in the cable a different way can resolve the issue, which is just great. I mean, who wants to troubleshoot their wheel connection? The Moza R12, on the other hand, has its own set of problems - users are reporting issues with FFB dropping to under 50% after extended use. And don't even get me started on overheating. I've heard horror stories about wheels that overheat and cause the FFB to falter or even fail completely. It's like they're trying to drive you mad.
Users are reporting issues with quality control, too - faulty bases, broken quick releases... it's a nightmare trying to deal with all these problems. And what really gets my goat is when companies don't take responsibility for their products. I've seen users get no help from customer service, and that's just unacceptable.
I will say this: the VRS DirectForce Pro has its fans, but they're a rare breed. Most users seem to be looking for something more reliable and user-friendly. The Moza R12, on the other hand, seems to have some enthusiasts who swear by it, but I'm not convinced.
For my money, I'd choose a different wheel base altogether - one that doesn't seem to be plagued with FFB issues and overheating. But if you're looking for something in this category, the VRS DirectForce Pro might be your best bet... but don't say I didn't warn you.
That being said, if you can find a used Moza R12 at a good price (and let's be real, it's not like they're easy to come by), you might get a decent deal. But as for new purchases? Sorry, folks - I'd rather spend my cash on something that won't drive me crazy.
