Now take what I say with a pinch of salt, cos im not what you call a particularly good driver.
I came back to rc racing about 3 years ago. Raced when i was a kid, but had plenty of bashers over the years.
I started back with sticks, a Futaba 3GR. But at the beginning of this summer season i decided to change to wheel, for lots of reasons, but probably mainly cos i thought the futaba 4pk looked cool.
Have to say the first couple of laps were awful, but got the hang of it quick enough. I would say that after a month or so I was going as quick as I was with sticks (not all that quick).
I certainly had issues the other lads have mentioned above with brakes etc, but overcame them pretty quickly, and Im 36 so qualify as a grumpy old man who doesnt learn so quickly anymore.

I prefer the wheel now for sure
