I used to race about 18 years ago and only ever used sticks, as did everyone else apart from one heretic
now days if you look around, the younger generation tend to use wheel but the older ones use sticks.
Just got back in and my 210 RTR came with a wheel, felt alright just messing around the playground/field, but it wasnt until my first race I realised just how un-natural it was (to me) it wasnt too bad on the open sections but harder on the tighter stuff. I had hoped I'd get used to it over time.
I've got the VRC game with the USB adaptor, played for quite a while with the wheel on the events and just couldnt get higher than like 30th place in one event, then remembered I had an old 27Mhz stick in the attic from an old Traxxis buggy, plugged that in and instantly went faster, just felt more in control. Got upto 20th place on my 2nd session.
Safe to say the 27Mhz is in the 210 now, atleast until I can afford a 2.4Ghz stick. Havent had the chance to race it yet as today was a wash out.
