Transmitters

[andyc277]

Just thought id gauge which style of transmitter MSUK users prefer. Sorry Cant remember what the proper name for the "trigger and wheel" style. I personally use a Futaba Attack 2ER. I find it easier to make the tiny changes.

Any opinions welcome.

steering wheel is the name they are easy to use than stick i think

[smithy1135]

I use the steering wheel type too, Spektrum DX3 to be specific.

[Mr Terminator]

DX3 and Sanwa MX3 steering wheel type for me but dont mind using stick either but deffo prefer wheel type....

I am from the old skool so am used to twin sticks. When I got back into the hobby I gave the steering wheel transmitters a fair go and can use them OK but still prefer twin sticks. In the end I invested in a 2.4Ghz Futuba twin stick and am happy with my decision.

sticks are for planes lol

nah i just find its more ergonomic to use a pistol controller. and also, you turn the wheel forwards and backwards, and with a stick you push it left to right, i just find it's easier to control the car when it's coming towards you that way.

dude, when you buy a rc car... an electric one, does it normaly have a wheel controller NO! it has sticks cheaper, look better and are easier to use but unfortunately the hyper comes with the wheel controller

both of mine came with wheels and maybe 80% have wheel controllers... i like the feel more TBH. i get more control.

never been able to use sticks,PISTOL GRIP controllers for me

[Matt B]

I prefer the steer wheel/pistol grip radio's, but I can use both.

Its all down to what you have learnt on, neither is better than the other (but when you want more functions/features, there's more choice with wheel radios).

[RobG]

I wish I preffered wheels as there is more choice and its cheaper too. I perservered with the wheels but it was like trying to force myself to write 'left handed' as I found I was just more comfortable with sticks.

[joe of loath]

i used a stick radio, and found i knocked the trim when my finger slipped. and that happened alot. quite a problem when that sets your idle....

I voted for Trigger and wheel ive had a small go with both and liked Trigger more

[s1mon]

what might also be interesting to know is if people tend to prefer the first type of controller they ever use.

i started with sticks and still use them, i have tried the wheel type but it just felt awkward for me.

It's like with some parts in fishing, sometimes if it feels rong it can be good so its just practise really (but i duno if its the same with these lol)

[JamesChatz]

Sticks for me as well, so much easier. It's just like playing with a games console controller. I can use wheel though.

[adamwatkins]

ive only used a stick. Would like to play with a wheel but no friends have one, and i dont wanna spend money pointlessly

[m3lyc]

I can use both but prefer wheel. Easier to control.

[electric]

steering wheel for me, had a go on both for a long time and just found the stick too hard for my mind to get around rofl
