Been a stick man for years but coming back after a time out and fanc
y trying a wheel set is there much people made the change and did u stick with it.

Also any tips on changing am gonna buy a wheel set so I have no choice but try instead of giving up after 1 heat lol

Any info much appreciated as I think the wheel is the way forward.

When I came back into the hobby a while ago now I bought a cheap stick set, it was okay but I always had problems braking properly, got a wheel one and found it much easier so went with that.

Later on tried sticks again, borrowed a mates set who had a really nice one, can't remember what it was but the sticks on it were really stumpy, much easier to use than my cheap one with huge plastic sticks that you couldn't change, he said he'd bought the sticks as an accessory, at the time I didn't even know you could do that.

Anyway, just getting back into the hobby again and have opted for wheel as the right set came up at the right price.

Maybe you should visit your local club where you'll be racing and see if you can chat to someone and also hold their radio to see what feels better for you ?

i can use both but prefer sticks.

my 1 and only problem with wheel is emergency braking for some reason i land up pulling on the throttle rather then pushing it.i supose if i spent more time using a wheel tx id get used to it but for racing i just stick to sticks.

also with sticks i do prefer them to be short so your not having to reach your fingers to go round corners

1 day someone will bring out a playstation controller that is 2.4ghz & i will be sorted
On a personal note i prefer sticks for racing but use a wheel with my monster truck as that's what came with it, it's ok but only a cheap 1, it's the braking i struggle with, like ch!ef i am also frequently accelerating when i should be braking

Or maybe a computer keybord with just the four arrows. I excel on Dirt 3 with that, why shouldn't i in rc?

I'd stay with what you're used to. Don't think I've ever seen anyone change successfully from one to another if they've been using one type for several years.
