| stick vs. NN
i just earned a lot of money and am going to begin my second project. my first was a new bright w/ links and motors etc... i would post pics but camera not working. i decided to start a real project and have narrowed it down to the "stick" and the NN. tell me what you guys think of both and hpefully i will be able to make a descision. another noob question. which one of these would probably be cheaper to make good? and what do you think the total cost would be with fairly good parts? Thank you for all your help! Last edited by Nate666; 01-25-2006 at 06:35 PM. |

I like my stick it has insain ground clearnce. The only thing that kinda sucks is that its hard to change the wheel base. But i would deffently use it again.

I just bought the NN because you can change the wheel base. |

The Stick is pure comp rig. Need attention to detail when it comes to picking your electronics, no skipping corners..... The Stick can't be beat for a comp rig. The NN is a well rounded crawler setup, comp or weekend runner. The NN can be built for pretty much anything, plus you can run a stick pak if that's what you own/run. If your experience level is still at n00bie, which it sounds like... go with the NN. If you DON'T plan to compete, go with the NN. If you want to compete only, go with The Stick. |

I will tell you to get the NN because it can be used so many different ways and still be very competitive. Dont get me wrong I love my stick (keep your comments to yourself pervs ) but it does not leave a lot of room for things like twin speed controls, 8 cell packs and the like. | |

Twin speed controls are a lot of fun but they are a pain to learn. Start with one and if you think you want it upgrade later.

yeah...... i also have been reading alot of these threads trying to figure out whatchassis to use and for me it was the NN chassis. i like it becuase it will be good for a first time clod build up. also i will only be using the NN for weekends and backyards bashing. in my opinion the sticks are cool, (great flex,ground clearance) but unless i crawl competively there is no need to spend that extra 100 dolllars on a chassis. just my .02 cents. :-P | |

| question....
those running the twin speed controls...... are you sersiously controlling both ESCs/Motors on seperate Tx sticks? AND also controlling 4wheel independent steering on seperate sticks? if so that IS insane. that may border on being more difficult to control than an RC Heli (trust me helis aint easy)... but anyways--- i JUST started learning fully independent and proportional 4WS on my PTI MMT (1/18th turned into a mini crawler). i can just say its NOT easy to control the steering 'correctly' while climbing crawling. (and i am a profeccient micro heli flyer). i feel like i have somewhat of an advantage having been used to using a the left hand rudder stick to control the rear steering, it turns the RIG exactly the same way a heli rudder turns a helicotper. but still its been tricky to learn. i set it up on a Futaba Helicopter transmitter. throttle and rudder on left side (rudder is my proportional rear steering) and front steering on right hand side. i could not imagine trying to add an additional control (would end up being 2nd throttle control on right stick fwd/bckwd movement)... that would REALLY confuse things even more-- may cause brain meltdown why not setup with BOTH esc's controlled by 1 throttle stick. or i assume that is defeating the purpose because the point of your dual ESC's is to gain dual independent throttle control? now that's OVERKILL for sure. if you can control 4ws and dual throttle controls 'consciously' all at once--- i AM IMPRESSED. but i suppose with time/practice, just like flying helis, the brain can learn. sorry, guess i should search on dual throttle control--- just seems like it would be tricky to learn and maybe a bit overkill unless you INTEND to be real good at the hobby, competing and whatnot.
