Anyone dones this? What a brilliant idea. My son - only 5 - struggles keeping his HPI bullet in a straight line when accelerating hard. Pop in a gryo between the reciever and the servo and you have active yaw control which is superb. Saves me having to re-build thing when he hits stuff.

Vid here - not mind as I only ordered mine yesterday after watching some vids.

Arrived and fitted. Makes a huge difference at high speed. Well worth getting one if you have a quick car.

nice, think I might try one, on my project 70mph rig, that is a bit hard to keep straight, but harder to keep the front wheels on the ground is my 1st issue lol

My lad's car wheelies like mad on 3S. You can see the front wheels twitching in the air trying in vain to correct.
