MOZA R3 Settings

The R3 is a 3.9 Nm direct drive base for Xbox and PC, so the goal is to use all of its torque and add some artificial weight. Here are MOZA's own values, how to switch between Xbox and PC, and settings for the games R3 owners play most.

MOZA R3 setup on Xbox and PC

  • Switch PC / Xbox mode: hold S1 and S2 together on the wheel; the rev lights flash when it switches. Use this if the Xbox does not see the wheel or there is no force feedback.
  • Pedals: on Xbox, plug the pedals into the base's RJ port; on PC they can also use USB.
  • Firmware: connect the R3 to a PC once and update it in MOZA Pit House; this is the only way to update firmware.
  • Xbox only: use the MOZA Companion App (iOS or Android) to change the steering angle and other settings.
  • Check MOZA's compatibility list for your game's force feedback and preset support.

From MOZA's R3 guide (August 2024) and OverTake's R3 setup tips. The R3 bundle includes the base, ES wheel (Xbox version), SR-P Lite pedals and a desk clamp; 3.9 Nm peak, 15-bit encoder.

All three columns are MOZA's own published R3 values (Aug 2024, Jan 2025, Feb 2025). Note MOZA's general set uses a 70% wheel spring and high inertia to add weight to the 3.9 Nm base; most game guides keep spring at 0%. Pit House settings are explained in our MOZA R5 guide.

MOZA R3 Forza settings (Xbox and PC)

  • Forza Motorsport: MOZA lists it as plug and play. Set steering to Simulation, deadzones 0 inside and 100 outside, then start from the direct drive column of our Forza Motorsport settings and lower Force feedback scale if the wheel goes flat in fast corners.
  • Forza Horizon 5 / 6: set the steering angle in the Companion App or Pit House (540° is a common road-car choice in Horizon, used in Brian Koponen's G29 and T248 guides), deadzones 0 / 100, center spring and damper scale 0, and raise Force feedback scale until it feels weighty without clipping.

MOZA R3 F1 24 / F1 25 settings

  • In game: Vibration & FFB on, Strength 100%, On track effects 45%, Rumble strip 40%, Off track 30%, Wheel damper 30%, Wheel rotation 380°.
  • Pit House: Formula 1 preset, 380° synchronous, intensity 100%, max wheel speed 50%, damping 45%, hands-off protection on.
  • On Xbox, OverTake found F1 24 felt nervous at 360° in both places and needed a much higher angle in the app (2000°) to match the in-game wheel; check after each game update.

MOZA's F1 24 guide (February 2025); F1 25 uses the same menu. See our F1 25 wheel settings.

MOZA R3 ACC settings

  • Use the GT preset (900°) in Pit House or the app, with game FFB intensity 100%.
  • In ACC: Gain about 80% (OverTake's R3 setting; some clipping on hard kerbs), Minimum force 0%, Dynamic damping 100%, Road effects 10%, Frequency 400 Hz, Steer lock 900°, Steer linearity 1.00.
  • Watch the in-game FFB bar: it turns red when the wheel clips. Lower Gain a few percent if it is red often.

Gain from OverTake's R3 tips; the other ACC values are from MOZA's ACC video (via SimRacingCockpit). More in our ACC settings.

MOZA R3 Assetto Corsa settings

  • In game: Gain 60–90% depending on the car, Filter 0%, Minimum force 0%, Kerb 15%, Road 15%, Slip 10%, ABS 0%.
  • Pit House: the Assetto Corsa column above.

MOZA R3 iRacing settings

  • In iRacing: Wheel force 3.9 Nm, Linear mode on, Reduce force when parked on, Damping and Min force 0%, then set Strength with Auto per car.
  • Pit House: MOZA's general column above (900°, road sensitivity 9, inertia 300%, friction 30%).
  • MOZA's iRacing sheet starts at the R5, so these in-game values follow the standard direct drive method. If it feels too light, see the section below. More in our iRacing FFB settings.

MOZA R3 Le Mans Ultimate settings

  • In LMU: Steering torque capability 3.9, Use steering range from vehicle on, Strength 85–90% (lower if it clips), Smoothing 0, Minimum steering torque 0%, Steering torque sensitivity 100–150%.
  • Pit House: 900° synchronous, intensity and max torque 100%. Coach Dave notes natural friction adds welcome weight on the R3 and R5, though its LMU set keeps it at 0.

From Coach Dave Academy's MOZA LMU guide. More in our LMU settings.

If the R3 feels light or weak

  • Make sure game FFB intensity and max output torque are at 100%; the R3 has no torque to spare.
  • Add natural inertia and wheel friction (MOZA's own R3 set uses 300% and 30%) for steering weight.
  • Raise in-game gain until the wheel just starts to clip, then back off.
  • 3.9 Nm is enough to learn and race on, but if you want heavier forces, the next steps are the R5 (5.5 Nm, PC) or R9 (9 Nm, PC). See MOZA R5 settings, MOZA R9 settings and the best Xbox wheels.

FAQ

What are the best MOZA R3 settings?

Game FFB intensity and max output torque 100%, then the game's profile. MOZA's own general set: 900°, road sensitivity 9, wheel damper 55%, inertia 300%, friction 30%, speed damping 50%, hands-off protection on.

How do I switch the MOZA R3 between Xbox and PC?

Hold S1 and S2 together until the rev lights flash. Use Xbox mode on the console and PC mode with Pit House.

How do I change MOZA R3 settings on Xbox?

Use the MOZA Companion App on your phone to set the steering angle and force feedback. Firmware updates still need a PC with Pit House.

What are the best MOZA R3 settings for F1 25?

MOZA's F1 values: Strength 100%, On track 45%, Rumble strip 40%, Off track 30%, Wheel damper 30%, 380°, with the Formula 1 preset in Pit House.

What are the best MOZA R3 settings for ACC?

GT preset at 900° with intensity 100%, then Gain about 80%, Minimum force 0%, Dynamic damping 100%, Road effects 10%, 400 Hz, Steer lock 900°.

Is the MOZA R3 strong enough?

For learning and most racing, yes: it is direct drive with smooth detail. At 3.9 Nm it is the weakest MOZA base, so drivers who want heavy steering add inertia and friction or upgrade to an R5 or R9 on PC.
