This question is not about what radio to buy or any specific radio. It is simply about which type of control system you prefer or recommend.

I come from the airplane side of the hobby, so my radios are all dual-stick 2.4 GHz 8-channel radios.

I have two RTR low-end RC cars. One is more of toy that includes a button/dual "stick" type radio. The other is a entry-level hobby class that included a wheel type.

They both seem to get the job done, but I am just getting started in this part of the hobby, so I am looking for feedback and guidance from more experienced car people. If I get into more advanced vehicles, is there any disadvantage in using my dual stick hobby class aircraft radios, or should I lean more toward a wheel-type radio?

What is your preference, and what do you recommend? Do you prefer stick or wheel-type radios?

Also, from a programming point of view, my aircraft radios allow quite a bit of mixing of channels for surface control. Do cars use a lot of channel mixing?
