Drift gyros are rate holding gyros which means they won't try to make your car go straight they'll just try to maintain whatever orientation you put it in. Ie maintain a drift. If you put TSM or AVC on a drift car they could constantly try to pull you out of the drift while a drift gyro helps maintain the drift. Hope that helps answer your question.
Thank you DiSpencer. It helped a lot!
