I too can't get on with wheel trannies having raced with sticks back in the 80's. I actually started back racing with my old JR Beat 27MHz set, but was forced to 2.4 because of interference.
I bought a Tamco set which failed after around 7months. Replaced with a similar Core set. They feel very similar to my old set in weight but with sharper stick tips than the very used ones on my old JR.
While waiting for failed set issue to be resolved, I bought a Spektrum 2ch stick set, the DX2M. This one does indeed feel toy like with moulded in plastic sticks with metal tips. Feel fragile and in fact managed to bust a moulded pin off the rear of the steering stick that operates the sprung return lever. Never done that before. Bit of gluing and fettling sorted that. It does have a neck strap attachment point tho. Now I've never needed one before, but 40yr old hands get nervous leaning over leisure centre balconies used as rostrums :-)
This is the only set I've ever owned with steering end point adjustment, I've always managed with simply adjusting link lengths before.
Hardest thing I found with 2.4 was getting used to no chrome aerial out front and the different balance/feel of the set in my hands.
