I retract my previous statement. I just went outside and checked it out. I guess I imagined it moved faster due to the fact it's just faster mashing the pedal, rather than grabbing the remote and pushing the button. An electric steer will never be as fast as a cable steer. But on an electric steer motor, I'd say you can control your motor faster with the foot pedal, than you can with a hand remote. At least I can.
