Nice, what's it going in?

An AE RC10T4-im having fears of it flipping out etc as its 2wd. should be fun though

Yeah, it should be loads of fun.

You could get this piezo gyro thingy from GWS, (about 40 dollars) to keep the frontwheels inline with your drivingdirection.

wow sounds strange-i dont get how it works though

check this movie;

the same device is available for 1/5th of the price though, the GWS PG-03

what's that mean killer in your avatar?!

it was a bigger pic that said: this is fluffy, the killer of worlds
im going to look at that vid in the mo

looks pretty good, but thats for drift cars? dunno if it'd work in a stadium truck on grass though.

Yes, it will work for sure. It is a steering assist. that thing tries to keep your car going straight in line

ahhh right i thought it was to keep it into a slide or something using opposite lock.

I saw those and was wondering if they would work for a monster truck on dirt. It looks promising but I stil can't grasp how it works exactly. Does it sense which way the car is pointing and which way its sliding and turn the wheels to compensate to try and keep it straight?

Yes Squee, that's what it does. It works with a Piezo ellement. you need to mount it into a certain direction on your car.

So you think it would be worth it if I was to use it when racing?

According to the description, it should: http://www.hpiracing.com/index2.htm

Or, a quote:

Cool, i need some for my trucks

Yeah, me too. Although, technically, it IS cheating. ;) ;)

I'm gonna check into the GWS one. $150 is way to much.

It's not allowed with races Squee.

If it is not allowed in races why get one. Unless you want people to think you are a better driver.

It could help prevent your truck from crashes on speed runs or so.. Think creative Country..

I have yet to see anything in our local racetracks rulebook :confused: Maybe they recently updated it with the release of it? I'll have to check into the rules.

It is only illegal if you caught. :D I not sure how it works but it seems to work. I wonder if the truck hangs a hard spot and starts to flip if it steers into it to stop it. :confused: oh boy.

the owner of my lhs had one in his stampede but it did not work to well cause the servo was to slow.

with them gyros you need to have a very fast servo.

I wonder if it has like an amp draw rating on it. I would hate to put a big fast powerful servo and fry the thing.

the one that the owner of my lhs had did have an amp draw rating on it but it wasnt a limiting factor on the stampede(his gyro was made for helicopteers and 1/5 scale cars).
