Yokomo have introduced their new YG-301 steering gyro for RWD drift cars. The compact item can be adjusted using the 3rd channel on the transmitter and it is a key element in proper RWD drift car setup as it provides proper steering angles and an efficient drive through the corners. The compact size allows to mount it in basically all of today’s drift cars and it is also usable for other applications such as fun racing classes and bashing.
Coming soon from Futaba is the 3PV 3+1 channel radio system. The newly designed intermediate-level transmitter features T-FHSS transmitting technology, built-in telemetry functions, several mix settings for steering and throttle, gyro adjustment for supported gyros, as well as locking brake and several other software gizmos. Other features include a large display, digital trims and 10 model memory. The transmitter is usable with T-FHSS, S-FHSS and FHSS receivers, and it will become available with a range of 4-channel or 3-channel receivers.
