Default Wheel TX with adjustable wheel damping

This might sound a bit weird, but are there any wheel radios out there that have adjustable damping on the steering wheel itself? Or just a heavier steering feel compared to a DX3S?

I have a DX3S and I notice if I let go from lock and the wheel springs recentres, it wobbles for a fraction of a second. Doesn't actually affect anything, but just annoys me for some reason. Also the steering feel feels a bit too light for me; would like it heavier.

What about adjustable trigger weight? I think I spotted some TXes with this?

You must be talking about stiffer springs inside the radio for a stiffer feeling wheel ?

yep, but also damping so it doesn't oscillate around the centre if I release the wheel.

its probably not really a good idea I guess. Slow down steering response.

I'd settle for a heavier spring though

Airtronics MX-3 x $150 much better quality and response than a speckum from exprience.
Has features that $200-$300 radios do usefull ones.

Im not being bias ethier.

No it doesnt but the tension on the wheel is a inbetween feel its good you can change the spring to a stiffer one . It does have a trigger tension screw which i love i think you will like that.

The only downside is the small wheel it has but the JR/Spectrum wheel fits right on it and its much bigger.
