Cammus C12 Direct Direct Drive WheelvsMOZA R12 V2 Direct Drive Wheel Base

The Bottom Line

The Cammus C12 and the MOZA R12 V2 both deliver a stout 12 Nm of direct drive torque, but they target completely different sim racing philosophies. While Cammus crams the entire motor directly into the steering wheel rim to save space, Moza relies on a traditional, highly polished ecosystem base.

Watch out

The MOZA R12 V2 can run incredibly hot to the touch, reaching up to 66°C during long sessions, and occasionally suffers from sudden USB connection drops. Meanwhile, the Cammus C12 is held back by buggy companion software, cheap-feeling synthetic leather, and loud, clunky magnetic paddle shifters.

Note

The Cammus C12 uses a unique rear-mounting system due to its integrated motor-in-wheel design, whereas the MOZA R12 V2 offers standard bottom and front mounting options.

Overall Rating
  • The innovative integrated motor-in-wheel design saves massive amounts of desk space and lets you mount your monitors incredibly close.
  • It delivers strong, highly detailed 12 Nm force feedback that punches well above its weight class.

Why choose MOZA R12 V2 Direct Drive Wheel Base

8.5
Overall Rating
  • The upgraded 21-bit encoder and NexGen algorithm provide an incredibly smooth and detailed force feedback experience.
  • You gain access to the robust Moza ecosystem, featuring the industry-standard D1-Spec quick release and highly customizable Pit House software.

The Verdict

If you are tight on space and want an all-in-one unit that gets your screen right in your face, the Cammus C12 is a fascinating, high-torque space-saver. However, for a more reliable, smoother, and deeply customizable ecosystem, the MOZA R12 V2 remains the superior mid-range powerhouse despite its thermal quirks.
