A good wheel transmitter?

[RoyalCBR]

I currently have using sticks for my racing - running my B44. But I have been thinking of giving a wheel transmitter a go instead.

I am gonna try before I part with my hard earned cash, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a wheel transmitter that is:

1) Around the £100 mark (don't mind 2nd hand)
2) Able to run two different cars - each with their own receiver
3) Isn't made of cheap and nasty plastic like some of the RTR transmitters
4) Reliable for club and regional racing

I keep seeing lots of Spektrum DX3s and also the new Ansmann W6. Any suggestions would be great.

Can't vouch for the Ansmann but the Spekky radios are great I have the DX3r but the 3s is ace and has all you need for racing

When I see pics of the Spektrum it looks so plasticy

Does have a solid feel? Light or heavy?

It looks cheap but it's sturdy and the transmitter is so light you even forget you have it in your hands at first.

Check out the oOple review...

the spektrum must be a great radio, many people like it. I tried it once and I dont feel comfortable with the trigger and the wheel. And the trigger had much side to side play... which isn't important but sanwa for example don't have play.
I would recommend to try some radios before you buy one. But I would prefere to take a new cheap radio instead of an old used top radio.
I would try futaba 3pm x, sanwa mx3 ..

iv been using the annsman W6 for a few months now, i got mine from MCR http://www.modelcarsreading.com/prod...ategory_id=494
i have found it very easy to set up and has a lot of feel when racing, and it wont break the bank.
Annsman are bringing out some really good products now
