I noticed that you referred to his "gyro stopped working". I've noticed that there has been some talk concerning gyros in rc car racing. Would someone please explain that to me. I thought they were only for drift cars, but apparently they are used in racing too. Are they worth getting? My group races F1 cars on less than perfect parking lot tracks where traction is difficult to come by...would a gyro help? If so, what brand to buy and how much are they?
