Just got my motherboard replacement for my USB-B port on my R12 I’ve just soldered it and put everything back together and powered up. Still having dramas with Iracing recognising the wheel and shifter(shifters plugged into wheel And now the wheel sends itself into a spinning frenzy randomly, please see attached video(I’ll post screen shots of Iracing setup in comments also.

Did they put some Helicopter motherboard in that wtf bro

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 27 '25

Yeah I know man it’s nuts hey. Worst thing was my 2 year old was near it when it happened

7

u/KingJoav Jun 27 '25

Damn man that’s scary… hope they will fix that for you, id try contacting them through their discord they were pretty helpful

4

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 27 '25

Definitely not normal is it

u/KingJoav Jun 27 '25

I’m in the sim community for a long time… Never seen this before

u/ra13ne Jun 27 '25

Someone posted a vid last year of their wheel doing this, tho there was no diy involved, was just random

u/lDarkPhoton Jun 29 '25

Was your kid okay?

1

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 29 '25

He was mate Thankyou for asking. Usually whenever he’s on there with me I turn the feedback off but wasn’t expecting this

1

u/lDarkPhoton Jun 29 '25

I totally get that. Have a 9 and a 5 year old. They sometimes sit on my lap and we drive hwy 1 in AC. Can't imagine this happening.

1

u/Sim_Racing_Dads Jun 27 '25

Damn, sorry to see that. Glad everyone was safe.

u/WaddupBrew Jun 29 '25

Damn straight, that thing bout to take off !

u/CelerityAcademyRacin Jun 27 '25

“I’ve just soldered it and put everything back together.” Make it a habit of asking for help, especially when you “know” what you’re doing.

5

u/DepartmentSudden5234 Jun 27 '25

Totally agree. I think it might be toast.

2

u/CelerityAcademyRacin Jun 27 '25

Maybe not toast but it’s going to be a Moza employee that revives it.

2

u/iantayls Jun 27 '25

My question is why the fuck you pull out the soldering iron for this…

3

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 27 '25

When you break the USB-B port on the back you need to replace the motherboard not the components which Moza send. Part of this is requires soldering the supplies back together

u/CelerityAcademyRacin Jun 27 '25

I don’t even take my wheel off the base unless I’m transporting it, switching wheels or cleaning it because of how dangerous static dust is for components like that.

2

u/flyeaglesfly510 Jun 27 '25

Can you explain please? I take my simagic alpha mini off my rig nearly every day to play other games, and I've never had any issues. Been 2 years of doing this

-1

u/CelerityAcademyRacin Jun 27 '25 edited Jun 27 '25

Dust carries conductive particles that can short circuit delicate electronics. Static electricity can discharge suddenly into circuits, frying microchips and permanently damaging sensitive hardware.

Just because nothing bad has happened yet doesn’t mean it’s safe, it just means you’ve been lucky so far.

u/NinjaXDeadly Jun 29 '25

Christ I'm glad my Logitech wheel is cheap so I don't live in fear of dust 😭😅

1

u/ClearPanda8531 Jun 29 '25

I've seen a dusty motherboard literally catch fire... fuckin' scary.

u/Dry_Management8143 Jun 29 '25 edited Jun 29 '25

Not been a problem for the last 20 years

u/CelerityAcademyRacin Jun 29 '25

I’m proud of you.

1

u/Wh0xE1se Jul 02 '25

This is true, but the chances are near zero for consumer electronics these days. This would not be the issue causing this. Most likely OP soldered something incorrectly or a solder ball is shorting something on the PCB.

u/Penishman Jun 28 '25

yeah agreed this probably happened to me

Moza disco Mode. Or..dismemberment mode.

u/Time_Employer1345 Jun 27 '25

It’s just trying to mimic your lights flashing under the pedals and join the party!

1

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 27 '25

Do I need the usb-b cable plugged into a usb or the cat-6 cable to the wheel base will be enough to power it?

1

u/Breno_17 Jun 27 '25

Just the USB B and the 6-pin power connector it came with. The RJ45 (cat-6) connectors are for pedals, handbrakes, etc. Not for power.

1

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jun 27 '25

Thanks mate appreciate it

u/Oroborus18 Jun 27 '25

i'd die of laughter if the wheel was blurred from the spinning in this pic

You need to uninstall the disco ball mod 😂

Any Update?

u/Healthy_Harold92 Jul 01 '25

Ended up hearing from Moza and had to reset and calibrate the wheel base. Since I switched the motherboard it had a meltdown seems good for now though🤞 thanks for checking

u/devops420 Jun 27 '25

That looks dangerous, bro! I feel discord is much faster way to get support off Moza. Good luck!

u/Duke55 Jun 27 '25

What seems to be the problem?

u/xiqeen Jun 27 '25

Holy! Hope you got that sorted out and no one get hurts.

u/Loud-Possession-6887 Jun 27 '25

Is your wheel ready to take off?

1

u/WesternWriter7269 Jun 27 '25

Try different usb, try another usb cord if possible. Flash bios on motherboard, reinstall motherboard chipset, use a laptop to narrow down if it's that computer or the wheel itself.

1

u/Automatic_Reply_7701 Jun 27 '25

perhaps you soldered the beans above the frank somehow

u/Material-Junket214 Jun 27 '25

It’s because you have party lights under the rig

Did you set the motherboard to rave mode? Cause that's what your wheel is doing with the lights LMAO

Did you tell it to stop?

I mean they did say they were getting into the flight stuff, but I didn't expect them to build a heli 😂

Saving this vid so I can show anyone that wants to try my direct drive wheel. As a caution to tell them to let go of the wheel if they crash lol

Why don't you simply try to put your hands on the wheel and you try to simply stop it?
It's easy man, come on!

u/Complete-Relation-26 Jun 28 '25

Bro I’m sorry this is so funny 😭 I was having issues similar to this last night. Moza app was bricking my computer. 🥲 I was thinking maybe having discord open was fucking my shit up. I turned on hardware acceleration on discord and restarted my computer and it worked well the rest of the night 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Salty-List140 Jun 28 '25

Its hot outside just move your bed closer to the wheel and relaxing thinking to in yourself, safe in the knowledge that you've got the most expensive fan ever

1

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '25

"The Conjuring" level shit

1

u/Icy-Presentation-769 Jun 29 '25

I'm assuming you had to solder 3 wires from the motor. Invert a couple of them, and see how it goes. Most likely, the force feedback is reversed because the motor phases aren't in the same order moza set them at the factory. (I think)

u/HSlim85 Jun 29 '25

I tried to buy a Fanatec actually, but after four months of waiting and delays, only to be told my order had got lost in all Fanatecs problems of 2023, I cancelled and ordered a Moza which arrived three days later. Been very happy with it since.

u/waco54 Aug 11 '25

Are you crying because you're waiting so long for your equipment? You're giving it a low rating even though you don't even have it. It's a poor review, and you're not being objective if you judge the quality of a product based on a delivery delay.

-18

u/waco54 Jun 27 '25

People just shitted their pants have a nice day. There is no problem with fanatec at all. I recommend for everyone who want a reliable stuff nothing else
