I have run traditional trigger radio's for a while now, and jsut wanted to know if I could switch to a stick radio for my next buggy. I am not looking for pros and cons of this setup. Just wanted to know if the airplane stick radios are compatible/useable for a buggy? marc

You see guys in Europe that run with stick radios. Yes it's certainly possible. But in the states using rc aircraft frequencies on land vehicles is a no no. Of course you can always get 2.4ghz stick radios!

A very in expensive surface radio made by Airtronics is the Avenger 2X, I have a few customers that prefer the stick radio for the RC cars [:-] PM me if you would like to find one [:-]

thanx guys

If I run 2.4, can I run say a 4 channel radio and just not use the other channels? Like a plane/heli radio? And does it matter which servos I use? am or digital? Sorry for the naevity-Marc

I started with stick radios, at the time I coulm't afford then ( I was 16), I always found it to be very easy to use for car control, Kanai use sticks radios, there are some 2 channel radios that use 75Mhz but they are too old for being usefull.

Go 2.4 stick or get a pistol radio, they are so cheap now you might find something to your liking.

Hitec also has 2 stick radios available.
Sanwa has a lower spec one below the teh Super EXZES.
I use the EXZES with a Spektrum Pro module and its perfect for me. My first option was teh Futaba but the EXZES was considerably cheaper at the time.
