 Hello everybody, I'm EvilRabbit. We're here taking a look at the wheel from the Moza R5 Ecosystem so my one pet peeve about the R5 when I took a look at it when Moza sent it out to me was You know the small diameter wheel it you know it was a bit smaller than You know what I was used to but it's very much like the Logitech and stuff like that but now Moza racing has released their ES 12-inch wheel mod so just over 300 millimeter wheel we have a new rim Which is a round rim to put on the R5 ES steering wheel. So we're gonna take a look at that today Gonna put that wheel back there. We're gonna take a look at this 12-inch ES wheel upgrade See what we got going on inside there. Of course, we do have all of the buttons And everything all the stickers and everything that we can put on that. Yes And of course, we have the wheel itself trying not to Bliterate my camera The before we pull the wheel out. We do have a small box in here Which is the paddle extensions? So these paddle shift extensions are because obviously go to a bigger wheel They have extensions to add to the paddle shifters and these are nice quality Aluminum and really really nice design And of course, you got some hardware with some screws to put it all in there And we do have the second one right there as well. So we got some paddle extensions, which is definitely a Very big plus because that's gonna come in clutch if you're wanting to use paddle shifters and stuff like that And of course on the back they do have instructions on how to Install everything for the paddle Extensions everything like that. So taking a look at the actual wheel itself We get the tape open So we have their 12 inch wheel, which is actually, you know, nice and thick aluminum like you'd expect from moza You know, you got the traditional yellow line on top and things like that. So this is actually a very Big high quality wheel, which is gonna be quite nice Imperative to this one and that's what I'm super excited to get it on there and have that larger diameter way As you can see larger diameter wheels so that we can actually Utilize the R5 more for drifting personally without the D cut on the bottom So we're gonna go ahead and get this thing swapped over. It should be a very easy straight forward process Gonna take out our screws Was a little bit tighter than I expected So can't thank moza racing enough for being a continued partner of the channel as I dropped screw on the ground It just said geek. I'm gonna head out Continued partner the channel and sending this out to me so that I can get the R5 wheel with a larger diameter rim Because this bolt pattern is not a 70 mil bolt pattern like you'd expect from like the R9 one and and stuff like that For the you know, the RSV2's and the RS wheels and CS wheels This is a smaller diameter one. So I'm trying not to rotate that quicker. This was my hand underneath So that's why I'm holding it the way I was So we're gonna unscrew that So in theory this should just pop right off So me being a bit of a dummy did not take into consideration that there was three screws on the backside here You can see one of them here There's three screws. There's two there And then there's two that go right inside the here on the ES wheel. So I didn't Read the instructions do that. So we got those three screws on the back and the six screws up front I did take my quick relief off. So I do not damage the wire or anything like that So now we can take the wheel off, but we do have to be careful because there's a spring in here You don't want to lose So we take the wheel off and By spring, I mean the spring that's sitting right inside here Gonna make sure that goes kind of well as I'm about drop it make sure that goes back in there I'm gonna put it back the way it was kind of doesn't really make a difference. So so now since we have that We can grab the new wheel Which is only going to utilize actually the two screws on the back not the bottom one. So we're gonna take this We're just going to move the quick release because it's there. We're going to place this on Like so Now we're going to screw these two screws in To hold things in place Get my extremely long screwdriver here the only one that was narrow enough to go Through the quick release hole So then we're gonna grab one of the other screws Very hard to somehow do this one-handed Get that popped in there make sure all my Buttons and everything are in place. All right Now we're going to get this screw as I knock the camera over get this screw in there Once again, take the extremely long screwdriver Get those two screws tightened in place Like so so now that retention that little spring is not going to disappear So now we have that on there, which is already Substantially different as you can see the size wise and it looks much nicer So now we're gonna get our quick release put back on so we're gonna move that aside Going to get our quick release plug back in We got a quick release plug back in you don't actually have to take that quick release off. I just did just for sake of Safety We're gonna get that that put back down there in the two notches is very simple There's two notches and two notches on there Falls into place place it back down on there and we're gonna switch away from the very large screwdriver We're gonna drop our six Quick release screws inside And we're gonna go ahead and get this tightened down Now I personally always do them in cross patterns just like I do wheels on cars It's just a personal preference that I do not sure it doesn't really make that much of a difference going you know In a circle if you really wanted to tighten that all down This is actually already making this wheel much nicer to look at and much Much easier to drive. We're gonna find out so we're gonna go and we're gonna actually tighten these down all the way now not super tight don't need to like Manhandle these things in there Because I do love the ES with all the way the buttons and everything are set up in the ES Already did those now run the last two side ones Then we got to put our paddle extensions on I believe if we don't like the position See, I actually don't mind where those are Paddle extensions they're going to But you know what that does make for a much nicer Much nicer feel so we may put those on we're gonna try and drive it without the paddle extensions because personally I like them a little bit further in because I can just use my middle finger They use them and also keeps them kind of the way for when I'm drifting So we're gonna go get this put on the rig and give it a full send So we are here on the rig. We do have the 12 inch rim now on the ES wheel with the Moza R5 base Here on a set of Corsa and I did go ahead and actually put the paddle extensions on as you can see They give you a nice tool to be able to put the screw into the front side So if you are gonna do this, I would recommend putting those on Before you actually put the rim on It would make it a lot easier. They give you a nice tool though to go in here a nice angled Phillips head screw driver, so it does work But you know the rim being now a second rim is going to be much more better for drifting So we're gonna go full send here And see how we do in the VDC E46 First ripped with the ES wheel on the R5 with the 12-inch mod It already feels much nicer not having that bottom D cut I do not have a tune on this car, so this is Fairpones drive in this E46 so Go full send. There have been early initiation there Power alley. Oh Do I? dirt But we should be halfway decent run and Overall impressions of this wheel. This makes this wheel base that much That much cooler the R5 was a very good wheel base I used a lot in ESDA when it first came out and now with this larger diameter wheel. This feels more Like home, you know, I love my R9. I love my R21 the R5 is definitely a very great entry-level wheel to get into the direct drive game and you know, it's definitely a Very nice wheel with plenty of force feedback We may have scrubbed a little bit of speed on that. We're trying to stay in fourth up power alley a little bit too much angle there Little bit of a diesel. This is a very different version of the track that I'm used to But overall not too terrible for the wheel Feeling and you know, we are on 100% force feedback on the wheel base and stuff like that So let's take a look at the runs if we can See kind of where we were at. It was a long initiation a little bit of a bobble there. So not crazy Please where we downshifted in Yeah, we went all the way to wide on that one Overall not too bad of a run. You could have done way better But like I said getting back into this R5, you know from going for my 21 takes a little bit of getting used to initially With the way the wheel reacts and stuff like that But it is super smooth like I enjoyed it when I was in the SDA a lot of good qualifying runs and stuff in ESTA with it. So it's great to have this larger diameter wheel That was a hard flick entry This is a VDC E46 definitely a fun car with that LS. Yeah, see that was much nicer Going through this a little bit of over rotation there. We kind of stalled it out there. We should have been a More on power. So we're gonna go back And we're gonna try another track Of course, you know, we had to come here to Long Beach with Long Beach ending the event Definitely a very crazy event with some interesting calls and things like that Let me know down the comments what you guys thought about the event and the super drift events that just ended So we're gonna go full sense here in Long Beach and see How we can do here Probably off the wall by about a foot Probably could have gone third gear there. Well, like I said, this larger wheel is making This R5 feel that much more nice So if you guys are into drifting or even rally racing, you know with the paddles being right there You know, it's it'd be very comfortable. We're gonna be doing some racing and stuff like that with these With the 12 inch wheel on this R5 and keeping the R5 on the rig for a little bit time If you guys want to keep seeing more R5 content, make sure you guys follow me on all social media Found in the description box below. Let's get a big thank you to Moza for sending this out and being a Continued partner of the channel Got one more run here a bit more of an aggressive entry. Oh, I felt it Well, not too shabby of a run. We'll go take a look at those in the replay That for and this episode off. I believe that oh, no We'll go back to replay. This was our first run. Maybe you guys follow me on social media I'll try to find a script box below this entry Wasn't too bad of an entry About a foot foot and half off just touching into that zone. So that was not the greatest zone on those last two that transition was That wasn't too bad if I'd say so myself wasn't the greatest or the cleanest, but it also wasn't too bad So let's take a look at the second run, which I felt was a lot more aggressive So excited me. She just found me on all social media. I'll just find the script from box below Yeah, it was all much much more aggressive flig Almost all the way out to the wall Almost all the way out there and then here we did do a little little bumper tap Little grazer no big deal and then we punted that so as always a thank you guys for coming back You can begin enjoyed this video on the new ES 12 inch wheel As always, I thank you come back and watching I'm even rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track
