In the case i am totally unpatient to await in this whole time.

Then there's 1 more question which is from my friend, i hope someguy will try to answer:
If Spektrum will release DSM2 pistol grip radio, why didn't release stick radio as well?

Best regards

This radio does not have ABS breaking but on the other hand you can manage a separate breaking curve depending on your driving style.

Hope this helps

But i am confident will not be in short moments, in the case nor dx3r is already so they will not touch yet in other kinds, then i will tell it to my pal, thanks.
The market for stick radios is relativly small. I don't forsee a surface stick radio anytime soon.

The problem is not to know which 1 is better, the main problem is not everyone could handling stick as well as pistol grip, depends the hands of every driver.

Feeling, and basicly like everything: personal comfort.

Goes either way really.

World-wide wheel radios enjoy a large lead in terms of users. True in Europe it's almost 50/50 but in many other areas you can go months without seeing a stick radio being used. I think in the last 2 years racing (In the USA admittedly) I've seen 2 guys racing with stick radios. One of whom was only doing so because he admittedly wanted to be "More European".

I think that with a stick radio i am smoother with the throttle.
This really helps when traction is low and running powerfull motors.
My problem is that there are no good sticks around with the high end features that you get with wheel radios.
There is the KO vantage and that is all i have seen. Even when i raced in the U.K for 6 months the most common was the KO Vantage. Here in Australia i would hate to think how much they would be.
Maybe i might change back to sticks if i can find a radio not to expensive.

This is the stick version of the 3PK, same features, same screen - and same awesome fasst system.

http://2.4gigahertz.com/systems/futk3000.html

(From the Futaba site) "Want to drive cars, trucks or boats, but are apprehensive about switching to a pistol grip radio? Now you don't have to! The 3VCS offers virtually everything the 3PK "wheel" system does, along with the speed, accuracy and convenience of Futaba's acclaimed 2.4GHz FASST technology."
