Sticks vs Steerwheel
 

I have always had a stick transmitter and maybe considering changing to a steerwheel. The question is how many people have done this successfully? and heres the magic question are steerwheels quicker than sticks.

Whats your opinions???

I changed. Took a month to feel totally comfortable with it. Steering with a wheel is much better imo but using brakes is a little more difficult because of the size of the hole for your finger in the trigger (if you know what I mean)

Steering and throttle I'm fine with. I just can't train my brain to use the brakes haha

I used to use a stick type Tx many years ago when I raced but when I got back into the sport a couple of months ago I was advised that a wheel was the way to go so I bought a wheel type.

I have just bought myself a new stick type Tx this week though as I couldnt get to grips with the braking on the wheel.

Steering and acceleration were absolutely fine, but in the cut and thrust of a race around the tricky infield I just didnt find the action required for rapid acceleration and braking an intuitive or instinctive one.

I know others prefer it, but for me the gain of effective braking with sticks outweighs the loss of the wheel for steering.

Imho its as simple as personal choice , many people started with sticks and anything else feels wrong , But it doesnt mean they are not as effective as the wheel type , I grew up with sticks and am now changing to a wheel and expect to struggle for a while , My advice would be to use what you are comfortable with :)

Same for me - stick a little foam to the upper part of the trigger to reduce the gap.

Here is another thread about the exact same topic

+1 girl friend agrees to

I went steer wheel years ago when I was younger and wanted to switch from 27mhz to 40mhz but I couldn't afford a stick set.

The rest of the world tends do drive wheels so the latest developments go to the wheel sets 1st, plus there is a lot more choice of wheel radios than sticks.
