    I loved my Ricochet RC car that drove with twin sticks…

    I would totally drive an actual car that handled that way!

      I knew someone would make this comment but that’s kind of the point. rc cars are toys after all, and it’s fine as a hobby but if professional driving would be better with twin sticks I feel like motorsports would have already adopted it.

        I’ve driven mowers with twin sticks, and there’s heavy equipment that uses that control system as well. Gives you more precise movements and a 0° turn radius.

        As someone who enjoys off-road adventures, I think a little twin stick rock crawler ATV would be an absolute blast to ride around on.

      Have I got a D9 Cat waiting for you! Drive with those twin brake levers 10 to 14 hours a day! You will get to dig ditches and level whole mountains!

      Edit to add: And drink Red Bull and eat Honey Buns while doing it too!
