While the MOZA Handbrake – RS31 and the MOZA SGP Sequential Shifter serve entirely different roles in your rig, both target budget-conscious racers looking for solid metal construction. Choosing between them depends on your need to lock the rear wheels or bang through gears.
The MOZA Handbrake – RS31 suffers from poor-quality screws and Allen keys that strip easily when swapping springs. Furthermore, Pit House software bugs can cause the handbrake to show as disconnected, especially if plugged into both the PC and wheelbase simultaneously.
The MOZA SGP Sequential Shifter does not natively fit standard Moza table clamps without purchasing a separate universal mounting plate. Additionally, some drivers find the maximum tension setting too light for a truly heavy mechanical feel.
If your primary focus is drifting or rally stages that require precise rear-wheel locking, the MOZA Handbrake – RS31 is a solid physical unit despite its software quirks. However, for sheer engagement and extra inputs, the tactile click and programmable buttons of the MOZA SGP Sequential Shifter offer superior overall value.
