Connectivity & Mounting

Getting Started Guide

Getting Started Guide

1. Unbox and verify contents

   Carefully remove the R9 base and accessories from the packaging. Confirm you have the wheelbase, power adapter & cable, USB cable, toolkit, user manual, and warranty card.
   
   

2. Plan your mounting

   Decide if you’ll mount the base to a dedicated rig/wheel deck or use an optional table clamp for a desk. Make sure the surface is solid and doesn’t flex when you apply torque.
   
   

3. Attach the R9 to your rig or plate

   Align the bottom-mount holes on the R9 with your rig’s mounting pattern and bolt it down using compatible hardware. Tighten evenly so the base cannot shift under load.
   
   

4. (Optional) Install with desk clamp

   If you’re using a MOZA table clamp (sold separately), attach the clamp to your desk, position the R9 on top, and secure it by tightening the clamp until the base is rock solid.
   
   

5. Connect your steering wheel

   Slide a compatible MOZA wheel onto the quick-release hub, push fully into place, and ensure it locks with no play. Check that buttons and paddles feel normal.
   
   

6. Connect accessories

   Plug MOZA pedals, shifter, handbrake, and dash (if you have them) into the appropriate ports on the back of the R9 base, using the labeled connectors.
   
   

7. Run cables & power

   Route the USB cable from the base to your PC, avoiding sharp bends and interference with pedals or your seat. Connect the power adapter to the base and then to a surge-protected outlet.
   
   

8. Power on and center

   Turn on your PC, then power up the base. The wheel will typically perform a quick calibration and center. Keep hands clear during this routine.
   
   

9. Install MOZA Pit House (PC)

   Download and install MOZA Pit House from MOZA’s official site. Open the software to confirm the R9 is recognized and up to date on firmware. 
   
   

10. Load a profile and test

    Select a default profile for your favorite sim (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, etc.) in Pit House, then launch the game. Verify steering, FFB, and buttons work as expected and adjust settings to taste.

Product Installation Guide

Product Installation Guide

1. Check space and seating position

   Sit in your usual driving position and line up where the wheel and screen will be. You want the wheel centered with your shoulders and your elbows slightly bent at full steering lock.
   
   

2. Mount the base to your rig

    

   • Position the R9 on your wheel deck or mounting plate.

   • Align the 4 bottom holes with your rig’s pattern.

   • Use appropriately sized bolts, washers, and locking nuts to secure it.

   • Tighten all fasteners evenly to prevent flex or movement.

    

3. Optional side mount installation

   If you have the optional side-mount brackets, attach them to the R9’s side mounting points, then bolt the brackets to your rig. Adjust height and angle before fully tightening.
   
   

4. Desk clamp setup (if used)

    

   • Clamp the mount securely to your desk or table edge.

   • Place the R9 on the clamp and secure it per the clamp instructions.

   • Check that the desk surface can handle the 9 Nm torque without vibrating or flexing.

    

5. Cable routing and management

    

   • Connect power, USB, and accessory cables to the ports on the rear of the base.

   • Route cables along frame members or under the desk using zip ties or clips.

   • Make sure no cable can be pinched, pulled tight, or hit by your feet while driving.

    

6. Connect MOZA ecosystem devices

    

   • Plug MOZA pedals into the Pedal port, the shifter into Shifter, and the handbrake into Handbrake.

   • If you use a dash display or e-stop, connect them to the appropriate Dash / E-stop ports. 

    

7. Power and PC connection

    

   • Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the base and then to a grounded outlet.

   • Connect the USB cable directly to the PC (avoid unpowered USB hubs when possible).

    

8. Install & configure MOZA Pit House

    

   • Install MOZA Pit House on your PC and open it.

   • Check for firmware updates for the R9 and apply if needed.

   • Select or create a FFB profile and adjust torque, damping, and filters to your preference.

    

9. In-game calibration

    

   • In your sim, select MOZA R9 (or corresponding wheel) as the input device.

   • Calibrate steering range, setpedal dead zones, and bind buttons.

   • Run a short test session to validate that steering centers correctly and FFB feels normal.

    

10. Final checks

     

    • Turn the wheel from lock to lock and press your pedals firmly; confirm nothing shifts or rubs.

    • After your first few sessions, re-check the mounting bolts to ensure they haven’t loosened.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: Is the MOZA R9 V3 compatible with console systems?

A: No. The R9 V3 wheelbase is designed only for PC. It does not natively support Xbox or PlayStation. For console racing with MOZA, customers should instead look at bundles like the R3 Xbox & PC bundle, which is explicitly listed as Xbox-compatible. 

Q2: Does the R9 V3 come with a steering wheel or pedals?

A: The R9 V3 product is just the wheelbase. You’ll need a compatible MOZA steering wheel (such as KS, RS, GS series) and a set of pedals to complete your setup. MOZA sells R9 bundles that package the base with various wheels, but the standalone R9 wheelbase does not include a wheel or pedals by default. 

Q3: How powerful is 9 Nm compared to an entry-level wheel?

A: At 9 Nm, the R9 V3 delivers substantially more torque than typical entry-level gear or belt-driven wheels (which are often in the ~2–5 Nm range). That extra headroom allows you to run stronger, more detailed force feedback, or run at lower strength with plenty of dynamic range left for spikes from curbs, bumps, and impacts. 

Q4: Can I mount the R9 V3 to a desk, or do I need a full rig?

A: You don’t have to own a full cockpit. The R9 V3 supports bottom mounting to rigs and plates, and MOZA offers an optional table clamp for desk setups. For best performance—and to avoid desk flex—most users eventually move to a dedicated rig, but a sturdy desk plus the clamp can work well as a starting point. 

Q5: Which MOZA wheels and accessories work with the R9?

A: The R9 V3 is part of the MOZA ecosystem, so it is compatible with MOZA wheels like the KS, RS V2, GS V2P, and others via the MOZA quick-release, as well as MOZA pedals, shifters, handbrakes, and dashboards connected to the rear ports. Many third-party wheels can also be used when combined with a suitable adapter, though support and features may vary. 

Q6: What kind of warranty does the R9 V3 have?

A: MOZA advertises “up to 24-month warranty protection” on the R9 V3, and several official distributors confirm a 24-month manufacturer warranty on the base. Exact coverage (and how warranty claims are handled) can vary by region or reseller, so customers should always check the warranty details on the store they’re purchasing from. 

Q7: Do I need MOZA Pit House, or can I just use in-game settings?

A: You can drive with only in-game settings, but MOZA Pit House is strongly recommended. It gives you control over force feedback algorithms, filters, interpolation, equalizers, and device firmware updates. Most users set a solid baseline in Pit House and then make small tweaks in each sim for final fine-tuning.
