I am very interested in hearing opinions of racers who have switched between both style inputs and what they think... especially the drivers who always seem to outdrive everyone.

Not to mention that old stick term "dumb thumbs" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:I fly planes and race boats. I used to use a stick for both. Now I use a wheel transmitter for boats and I would not go back to sticks. I find the wheel and trigger to be more intuitive for running boats. I also think the trigger allows quicker throttle reaction than with a stick.
Yup! I've seen lots of people who have way too much throw in their steering. As far as dual rates end EPA goes, ideally, the throws should be set close to correct mechanically and then fine tuned mechanically.I also wonder if the reason guys can't drive smoothly is because of all of the dual rates and exp rates. If these are not set well, then the wheel radios seem to be hard to turn smoothly.
I agree with that statement. I witnessed his driving at an off-road world champs - truly an amazing driver. Made some of the other big names in the A mains look very average.Probably the best rc car racer ever, Masami drives a stick radio as do alot of european drivers.
I can confirm that but then he'll tell you I do the "bob and weave". :lol:I use a stick radio because I shake too much when in a good heat

and my latest stick transmitter operated boat is a 5 channel B tunnel . ERNIEI never had tried the stick but watching a well known racer the stick makes sense as having the throttle and steering on one stick leaving the other stick to run the third channel.The third channel had a needle vavle with full flow to no flow and could use the stick to dial it in then used the trim for fine tuning.With the setup you get the motor to run throw it to the water and go from there.You have the full effect without having to guess where your needle vavle is.Wonder why he wins so many US1.If i had some extra cash would like to try it.Just a tought? :blink:
