![]() I did manage to tone down the oscillations, but not by much. Which should stop the wheel from oscillating when you remove your hands from the wheel. One thing that did not work as I thought it should is the hands off auto damping feature. But still a very faint hint when trying to get it to happen and with the car moving slowly. Enough that I could not notice any of it driving. ![]() And I was finally able to get the notchy feeling the R16 and R9 had, dialed almost all the way out with the R21. I used the latest version of Moza’s Pit House Tuning software that has a couple of different sliders than previous versions. I was using one of the stiffest deck style mounts that I am aware of, but the R21 is a bit too much for it, as seen in the flexing of the plate itself. ![]() While not the fault of wheelbase, having four mounting points on the bottom of a motor dictates the available options out there to getting it secured. While the actual mounting point did not display any flex between the bottom of the wheelbase and the wheelbase deck I had it mounted to, there was some flex in the Sim Lab deck itself. At these levels of torque, I would rather see a way to mount the motor via a front mount solution. Which means it will need to be mounted to some kind of flat plate or wheel deck. Four M6 mounting holes on the bottom of the motor casing. The R21 has the same mounting element that the R16 has. Here is where I would like to see Moza do something different. A wheelbase that puts out this much torque needs to have a very solid mounting solution to realize its full potential. The most notable differences being the large heat sink attached to the power components. Still the same professional looking circuit board as found in other Moza wheelbases. During our look inside segment, we could see that there is a very different circuit board in the R21 than the R16 because of the extra power required. Of course, the extra 5Nm of torque the R21 has requires more current for the motors consumption. Verses the R16’s 36 volt 10amp power supply. The power supply shipping with the wheelbase is a 36 volt, 13.3amp unit. Which requires a more powerful power supply. Fit and finish is good here and stays consistent with what I have found with the previous Externally, the only thing different between them is the different labeling. Which is no surprise seeing that they have the exact same dimensions. Out of the box, the R21 looks just like the R16 that I have. This is the third Wheelbase I have tested and reviewed. Final thoughts on the R21 DD FFB Wheelbase from the guys at Moza Racing.
