Default Making an M11 more comfortable?

What are some things M11 users do? Right now Im not real comforable with mine even though I have a lipo in it.

I came from a KO Helios, but the M11 seems like it makes me NOT turn the car. Almost as if I need a bigger wheel on it or something. Tips?

I just picked up a Helios and with the angled wheel extension--WOW!! This thing is dialed!! Came from a 3pks which I always liked.

M11 does have a kind of small wheel. Upgrade sells a plastic dish wheel with vinyl stickers for it. I believe the upgrade wheel is a tad bigger. That may be your main problem.

Also the balance of the M11 is much different than the Helios, it may just take a little time before you get comfortable with it.

I wrapped the handle with some grip tape for floorball clubs or tennis rackets and it did the trick.

I put a smaller wheel sponge on mine and it helped a little. Get the tennis racket grip tape, theres several different textures and thicknesses, and get you a neckstrap to offset some of the massive amount of weight it has (even with a lipo). This grip tape is made by Wilson and its super padded.

I Shoe Goo'd a TC wheel over top of the original of my M8. Much better now.

I have been a die hard Airtronics guy my whole life so I like the small wheel. Radios with bigger wheels just feel wrong to me. I have seen the TC wheel over it trick. Seems to work well for those that are used to the larger wheel. Find a nice looking chrome one or something and it will even be stylish.
