Sim racing · head‑to‑head
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.
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.
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.
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.
