I've got to be honest, I thought I could get over the whole stick/wheel thing... but I haven't been able to.
I started out back in the day with sticks and it this time round it was only the availability of 2.4 ghz gear at the right price that made me choose the wheel. plus, my mini-z radios are steer-wheel (although any 27mhz radio will do the job).
the steering is very intuitive - it's a wheel! but there's always been a little bit of 'wierdness' in using the trigger grip for throttle and braking, and a lot of the time I feel I'm chasing translation time between what my brain wants and my index finger does. it has to be completely intuitive for me, and pulling back on a stick to brake feels more natural than pushing the trigger. I use the brakes a lot.
I've done the whole brake but accellerate by mistake thing quite a few times, luckily with just a 10.5 motor installed, colliding with surfaces that have a bit of give.
I've just gone and bought a sanwa super exzes with a spektrum module - it'll be interesting to see if the sticks are easier to use....
