Choose one and stick with it - worst thing you can do really is chop and change i think....

Obvious Off Road World champs that come to mind Masami, Neil Cragg use Sticks but you'll find most of the U.S guys use a Wheel.

I think it's personal preference as obviously either can be as good as the other but once you've raced with one for a while i wouldn't suggest you change over to be honest as it's a big step back learning all over again.

I have a 2.4GHz ready pro wheel here if you want to make me an offer on it.

After way to many years on sticks, I could drive with a wheel, the steering is better, but I couldn't get used to the brakes, I had to concentrate to do it rather than it being a natural movement.

I started racing with sticks because that's what I had - but after a year or so I got a wheel (3pk) since that's what I'd used when I was a kid (but didn't race) and find it just easier.

Cool, ive wonderd if using a wheel rather then sticks would make corners more consistant in general ...

What sorta price you after ? :)

Gary, first i would try somebody's radio to see what it's like before you make a switch. Personally i moved because i was getting cramp in my thumbs:thumbdown: Using a steering wheel i found it more comfortable and more consistant:D I used the KO helios for almost 3 years but have resently changed to the futaba 3pk's 2.4 and it feels more solid than the KO but you wouldn't go far wrong with either:thumbsup:
