This weekend I got my lad racing with both sticks and a wheel, and I'm glad to say he preferred the sticks.  |
I wouldn't say the UK is
mainly sticks, just go to a 1/8 rallycross meeting, and the majority use wheel radios.
I started off with sticks, but was forced to change to wheel when I bought an MT2. My old receiver was too big to fit in the radio box, so I used the wheel that came with it. I have to say wheel radios feel so much better to me, I think the throttle control is better, and steering is more precise. I've now been using a wheel for about 3 years and have a DX3R. I find it surprising that so many people have problems with the brakes on wheels. I really can't see where you're coming from, but then, I did change over pretty early.
Oddly though, on my PS3, for driving games (like GT5 and F1) I use the two sticks (but the right one for throttle), whilst for games like Motorstorm, I use the triggers. Weird.
