Default Help left handed drivers

All you left handed users who have a tx converted to left hand use (holding tx in right hand, throttle, and using left hand on wheel), which way does your cars wheels turn when you turn the wheel left- right (looking at the wheel from front).

I do not need answer from left handed users who use a right hand tx in their right hand and somehow kink their hand/wrist to hold the wheel with their left hand.

Only from those left hand users, who have a truly converted left hand tx and holds it in the same (mirrored) manner as a right handed user holds his right hand transmitter.

It may sound weird, but there is a purpose to the question

Looking from the front of the wheel it is setup left-left right-right although I know of a guy at my club who runs opposite (left hander as well). I found that out the hard way when I had a drive of his car. Oops!

Best thing I can tell ya is I drive lefty with right trigger finger on throttle and left hand on wheel. When I turn weel towards my chest my car turns right on the track. I can also pick up my friends righty radio , hold it upside down in my right hand and use the weel with left hand . I then push throttle trigger with pinky . Does that help?

M11x can be set up for lefty or righty. The top of the radio unscrews and can be rotated enabling right handed trigger with left handed wheel. You can find these pretty cheep now that a lot of guys have upgraded to M12's. I prefer an MT4 with the M11x receiver.

Thanks for you replies.

I have actually an M11X, that was bought used, instead of an MX3-X.

And I have converted it for left hand use.

I was just wondering which way other people with left hand tx had their wheels turn when turning the wheel.

My head seems to be equally confused if I go either way. So I could just as well train and get custom to whatever way the most people was using.

It seems most logical if the wheel turns left if the steering wheel is rotated anti clock wise when viewed from the front, as this would be similar to how you would operate a real car steering wheel.

I personally wouldn't worry how the others are doing it. Set it up, and run however is most comfortable for you.
