Default Car Controller for my Wife

Just got my wife into the hobby and I have already found the controller that came with the car"Traxxas Rustler...Brushless" is not going to cut the mustard. I need a cheap controller that I can set the controls to not be so figidy....in other words, maybe multiple rate steering, the more she turns, the faster it reacts, but the first movements to not be so subtle. What do you guys think I could get away with. Tons on ebay, just dont know what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

A Hitec Agressor or a Futaba 2PL would be a nice system for her.

I just bought a futaba 2pl fm tx and I love it! I also have a futaba 3pm fm tx and like it alot as well. both run glitch free. my 3pm controls my t4 w/ brushless motor set up. if you decide to go with the 3pm you will need to get a digital servo, metal gear, high torq, high speed for best results. I run the futaba r153f rx in all my cars. the 3pm can be picked up with r153f rx and servo for a like, 120 @ towerhobbies. and the 2pl with r153f rx for 85 (price without servo). I would suggest the 2pl though. hope this helps.

You cannot use a car controller to control your wife. I've tried it. The TV remote doesn't work either. Good luck.
