I see on Redrc efra have banned the use of gyros, I know in 10th they were banned many years ago after the LRP traction control system etc

Just wondered what they would actually do to the handling of the car with one fitted?

Would it really make that much difference? ie would a top level driver be able to shave off a few tenths a lap with a gyro fitted?
The gyro autocorrects the steering when the rear of the car tries to slide out, keeping it pointing where you want.

On a very slippy track there would most likely be an advantage to be had, if set up correctly.

They mostly help drift cars from spinning around, cant see it helping in most scenarios.
