looks a good idea, I did 12 months with a wheel transmitter after years of using sticks,and the throtel control is so mutch better,I used it with rallyx,mostly on dirt and had some of my best ever results,with a trigger and a wheel you can be so mutch smoother,and flow with the track,your inputs are smother,not twitchy like they can be with stick.
BUT then I started back with 10th and on grass and astro,had to go back to sticks as just couldn't keep up with the car got all crossed up with the wheel!
This looks like you get the best of both, not sure if anyone set in there ways could settle with it without months of practice as I think it would feel very strange in your hands,but I think it may well be the way forward, and a great combination for future racers...stick and trigger if I could get the hang of it,I would
Looks Holy cow costly tho
