In hindsight,i wish i had got a decent hand set first,i bought an etronix/core and thought it was great until i bit the bullet and got a gemini set. The difference is huge in speed of response.
Even if you dont stay racing for long you would get most of your cash back from it, so don't buy cheap,buy twice. Thats if you can afford the 150 and the blatant rip off of extra receivers
