If its for a buggy a 4600 is plenty and for a truck then the 4600 or 5700 is more than enough. They are smooth enough to race with. I ran a 4600 with a prototype Sidewinder for over a year and it was plenty smooth. This is when everyone said sensored was way smoother. I use to let guys try my setup and they complained it was too smooth.

Its like anything else as you just need to mess with the setup some to you get the feel you want. If you are planning on using the Castle Link to adjust it then you really can dial them in to get the feel your looking for.
