which is better (wanna start outdoors right)

[b4rs]

ok, many people i see winning buggy and touring races use a stick transmitter, if i am wrong then tell me, but i currently use a pistol grip shite team associated one that came with my b4rs, i have trouble with it all the time like with wavelength, it jus cuts out to less than half speed til it come back into 'range' about 30ft away, which is definatly not right. i am not saying pistol grips are crap because the spektrum ones look ace. but i see more people going for the sticks and i have not tried one but want to as i may find it easier. but dont want to be spending £50 on something i find harder, i need to get something good i can use for a cheap price as i am still at school and looking for sat/sunday work. like i said, any info personally or advice for what i should go for would be appreciated. thankyou
