Ran into this gizmo while surfing around this morning :

Apparantly some sort of horizontal gyro. Maybe could be adapted to reduce throttle when oriented vertically to prevent blowovers ? Just thinking here....

Edit : the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to get one to experiment with. Hmmmm.....

Just thinking out loud, but I think on cats more than monos.

They do allow some oversteer because they are for rc drift cars. By the time a cat starts breaking loose, it may be too late. Wonder if they are adjustable? For the price, it's worth giving it a shot. The HPI version used to go for over a hundred.

Now if they can just invent something to keep our boats from blowing over. Then again, set up and driving skill are half the fun.

Forget blow overs. What about Mono Chine walking. Is the unit fast enough?
