i didnt try the moza at the expo but someone i talked to did.. they said the feedback wasnt that impressive. stall was a vibration for a second, then stopped, then vibrated again...etc

RRaick Where can I get this connector?

I would like to know what the cooling system is like, as I see a completely closed box with no fins for airflow

Raick•6/27/24, 7:12 PM

It would be disappointing to know that it has the same heating and loss of strength problems as the brunner bases.

Probably some kind of "thermal management"

nubbins•6/27/24, 7:26 PM

the marketing material is clever and dodges that question

nubbins•6/27/24, 7:26 PM

The same way it dodges the question of actual gimbal materials

if you only need an adapter, you will need a grip set from VKB with an extension and a Virpil extension. You can save money and 3D print the clamping ring. I do not recommend making an adapter from plastic; it is not reliable. my printed adapter broke after a couple of months. CNC costs about $100
If you are interested in a complete VKB conversion for the Virpil base, then I recommend purchasing a board with USB and AUX connectors as a part from virpil support (45$) and using the AUX connector as a through connection grip to black box. Just cut off the boards road from the AUX and solder the 5pin connector for a standard connection with the Virpil cable for the grip

KirillBubel•6/27/24, 8:37 PM

well everything what you will need is in the V2 archive. You can order all the parts CNC but it is expensive, the ring can be made a 3d print

Raick•6/27/24, 8:38 PM

Would it be cheaper to buy a virpil extension and remove the ring?

RRaick Would it be cheaper to buy a virpil extension and remove the ring?

KirillBubel•6/27/24, 8:55 PM

I left a link where I made my adapter, maybe they will make a ring cheaper than the extension from Virpel. I already had this extension and used the original clamp ring from Virpil.

587 Rhinos are shipped in total

I'd like to order a motor kit. Is this the same time it takes to place an order as a "Motor Kit Order Request"?

I’ve got heavily moderated on the Moza discord server, someone claimed that they could use the stick as a shifter or handbrake and I simply mentioned that it likely doesn’t have the same level of forces to simulate this then administrative staff deleted all my comments about my thoughts and opinions

walmis•6/28/24, 4:53 AM

Yeah, it's doable, but you're correct it won't be as hard mechanical stops. Similarly how it is with Rhino soft endstops vs limiter plate.
And it's very slimy from Moza when they attempt delete/hide all criticism

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:40 AM

Agreed, and they still show me marketing brochures, but no proof of the forces they provide, I tested at the expo and it felt half the strength if the rhino

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:40 AM

So I officially asked in the correct channel for their feedback

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:41 AM

And this time, I took screenshots, so they dont delete them when they can’t or won’t answer

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:42 AM

I just want information on their product without be drowned down with marketing

MMajik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfft-NoujPw It's similar power to the Rhino, no?

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:43 AM

I was very upset when they deleted my comments, becuase I know rhino demoed this, but handbreak? That will require a lot of torque? Is that the right word… to stop this thing and act like a real break

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:44 AM

Anyway, they claim 12nm peak, but the motors look smaller than rhino and is 12nm for 1-2 seconds before it cuts out?

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:44 AM

Anyway, im on a fact finding mission

You are not supposed to ask that. Just shut up and be fed marketing BS how its the best product that was ever created by the hand of god himself

walmis•6/28/24, 5:49 AM

There's speculation, that they declared the 12nm peak as a combination of both motors , √ (9²+9²)=12,72 Nm

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:49 AM

I have the rhino, so I know what I expect and so far only the rhino offers the best features for the price

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:49 AM

Thats what I said

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 5:50 AM

When they said 9 initially, I was like 4.5 per motor

Of course it doesn't hurt to have options, but am I the only one who couldn't help but wonder "why"
