Got a MOZA base and want to take your sim racing setup to the next level? This complete guide covers everything you need to know about mods for MOZA: which bases are compatible (R3, R5, R9, R12, R16, R21, ES and ESX), available mod types, installation, SimHub setup and honest comparisons so you can choose the right one in 2026.
Why mod a MOZA wheel?
MOZA Racing has become one of the most popular direct drive brands among Latin and European sim racers thanks to its price-quality ratio. However, the stock wheels that come with many MOZA bases are functional but generic: standard circular rims, no screen, no integrated RGB LEDs and no F1-style extra buttons.
A mod for MOZA lets you:
- Keep your MOZA base with all its direct drive force feedback
- Get a wheel with professional F1 appearance
- Add LCD telemetry screen, 17 RGB LEDs and extra buttons
- Save up to 75% versus buying an official MOZA F1 wheel (CS V2P, FSR, etc.)
- Personalize your setup with stickers, grips and colors

On PC with SimHub (recommended)
MOZA is mainly designed for PC. The Raptor F1 Pro Mod integrates with SimHub, the standard software for the sim racing community, which allows:
- Reading telemetry from F1 23/24/25, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2, Project Cars, Forza, BeamNG, etc.
- Display speed, RPM, gear, lap, position, ABS, TC and more on screen
- Customize the behavior of the 17 RGB LEDs per game
- Triggers for shift, pit limiter, DRS, ERS, etc.
The mod includes a preconfigured SimHub profile that automatically recognizes the 3.5" screen and the 17 LEDs. Just import the profile and play.
On consoles (PS4/PS5/Xbox)
MOZA bases are console-compatible only with additional software (MOZA Multi-Bridge or compatible game licenses). The mod itself works as a physical wheel with all buttons operational on consoles that support the base.
Step-by-step installation
- Turn off your MOZA base and disconnect it from PC
- Remove the current wheel by pulling on the MOZA Quick Release
- Attach the Raptor F1 Pro Mod to the MOZA QR (fits directly)
- Secure with the QR locking pin
- Connect the USB cable from the mod to a USB port on your PC
- Power on the MOZA base normally
- On PC: open SimHub, import the profile included on the kit's USB, activate the screen and RGB plugins
- Customize with included stickers, button covers and grips
Total time: 15-25 minutes with no tools. Does not require modifying the MOZA base or configuring special drivers.

Frequently asked questions about MOZA mods
Is it compatible with the cheaper MOZA R3 or R5 base?
Yes, fully. The Raptor F1 Pro Mod works with all MOZA bases: R3, R5, R9, R12, R16, R21, ES and ESX. The Quick Release system is standard across the entire family, so the mod attaches directly without needing external adapters.
Does it affect the MOZA direct drive force feedback?
No. The mod only replaces the physical wheel, it does not interfere with the MOZA motor or electronics. Force feedback works identically.
Do I need to buy the Quick Release separately?
No, if your MOZA base already includes the QR (they all include it). The mod attaches directly to the existing QR.
Does it work with MOZA Pit House?
Yes. MOZA Pit House (MOZA's official software) continues to work normally for configuring the base, while SimHub handles the mod's screen and LEDs.
Can I use the original MOZA wheel too?
Yes. Since it uses the MOZA Quick Release, you can swap between the original wheel and the mod whenever you want.
Is the MOZA mod's 3.5" screen larger than the Logitech mod's 3"?
Yes, on MOZA we use a 3.5" screen because MOZA bases have more frontal space. The resolution and FPS (60) are the same on both.
Do you ship to Europe and the US?
Yes. We ship to Chile (free), Latin America, Spain, UK, Germany, US, Canada and others. 1-year warranty in all countries.
Conclusion: take your MOZA to the next level
Owning a MOZA direct drive base is just the first step. To live the professional F1 sim racing experience you need a wheel that matches — but official MOZA F1 wheels cost an additional USD 600–800. A well-designed mod gives you 90% of that experience for less than USD 200.
At Raptor Racing we design premium mods in Chile thought for the global MOZA community: premium quality, accessible price, 1-year warranty, support in Spanish and English, and plug-and-play SimHub compatibility.
