Enhance Your RC Car's Stability with Tamiya's Steering Assist

The Tamiya 54417 Active Steering Assist Unit TGU-01 is a compact and lightweight accessory designed to significantly improve the handling of your RC car. Equipped with an advanced gyro sensor system, this unit detects when your vehicle begins to slide and automatically applies counter steering to prevent spins, ensuring stability on the track. This feature is particularly beneficial for rear-wheel-drive models like the F104 and RM-01 chassis, as well as for navigating slippery surfaces.

Adjustable Features for Precision Control

This steering assist unit offers adjustable counter steering range and sensitivity settings, which can be fine-tuned using your transmitter if you have a 3-channel R/C system. This flexibility allows hobbyists to tailor the performance to match their driving style and track conditions. However, it's important to note that gyro systems are prohibited in certain competitive events, including those organized by major sanctioning bodies in the United States and the Tamiya Championship Series. Therefore, this unit is ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy casual driving and non-competitive racing.

The Tamiya 54417 Active Steering Assist Unit is perfect for hobbyists seeking enhanced control and stability in their rear-wheel-drive RC models. Its adjustable features make it versatile for various driving conditions, making it a valuable addition for non-competitive setups.
