Sticks to Wheel

[traffman]

Any one tried it and found it made a positive effect on there driving style?

I sometimes find mostly under pressure i tend to get a wobbly throttle thumb when racing!

Yes i know it sounds strange , i have thought of changing to a Wheel set as this would eradicate the issue.

I am currently running the Ko Universe stick set What are the comaparable wheel alternatives ? I rather like the look of the Futaba 3pk ....any good?

I did,
I was pretty much struggling with a stick set,
so i borrowed a wheel set from a fellow racer with a wheel set for sale.
(try before you buy sort of thing)
Anyhow it was a complete revelation to me,
lopped two seconds of my lap times straight away.
See if you can borrow one to try before you shell out your hard earned cash.

the 3pk is a nice handset,the trouble i found was its heavy.i use the mars r steer wheel,

Both my daughters race Mardave bangers. The youngest uses a KO Esprit II same as me, but the eldest uses a KO wheel set and I dread using it to set the car up for her.

After 25 years of using sticks I jut can't change now......

I'd love to try a wheel myself but being left handed it's a very expensive option. Tried it right handed and also placing my left over the top but just didn't feel right.

I'd agree that you'd be better off trying it out first before buying. Just a shame there's no cheap left handed options for me to give it a proper try.

I have a 3pk and absolutely love it. It was a little heavy so i bought the 1450mah 3s turnigy lipo. This made a big difference to how it felt and i now forget i am holding it. It's still not the lightest but the weight is a non issue with this lipo in there.

I can drive wheel or stick. Not sure which i am faster with but like the others said it is mainly preference.

Try before you buy but i would recommend the 3pk.

One thing i did find was that going from a low end Tx to a high end Tx made me a quicker and smoother driver.
