Default What Rx for 4ws?

Does anyone use 2 stick radio's with 4 channel for 4ws?

I am thinking of getting this one:

Use the left for forward & reverse,
right would be configured as so:
Left to Right: Front steer
Forward to Back: Rear steer

if you like a stick radio that would be a very good way to do it.my personal like is a pistal radio but that doesn't make it better,it's personal like.

I like the computer stick radios because you can't make any adjustments to the servos other than trim with radios such as the attack and Skysport. I like being able to make center and endpoint adjustments so I use a VG6000 from Airtronics. They're ~$60 more than the radio you're looking at, and they're far more superior. 6 channel computerized FM radio vs. 4 channel AM with trim and servo reversing.

I was just thinking with the sticks I can control the front and rear independently. How do you do that with a wheel radio?

the pistal radio will have a 3rd channel that'll controll the rear steer independantly.like a modded tq3.

i have one question.why would epa be so important on a stick radio?i meen you can simply limit the travel simply by not moving the stick all the way.
