I recently moved up from Sportsman to Expert, so I'm slowly gaining experience to appreciate more advanced maneuvers. I still believe your average sportsman level driver will have an overall advantage with a gyro on dry loose pack.

Another way to look at this technology is like having training wheels, it can help you build the confidence knowing what the capabilities the car has to offer with the assist and then try to carry the same corner speed without the assist
That's very true... Was trying to stay close to my point, but I gotta say, your argument is very compelling, lol. You think a gyro would help with a 1/10 buggy on an outdoor clay track? That's the one car in my fleet I can't get good control over when racing.
