    @Lasrin Having a …
    @Lasrin Having a gyro correcting the drift is much better. Because of the direction you steer the device it corrects the steering. The? accelerometer will need a lot of programming. Because the drifting isn’t a stable movement. So the wheels will kinda go mad. Having both would be best and kinda complex. Letting the wheels spin harder when it looses its drift with the accelerometer and correcting steering with the gyro. So it always goes into drift or the opposite.

    Love it! Just need to add an? accelerometer so the car can tell when it’s drifting, and turn the wheels into the turn. Sweet trick with the servo boards.

    It does, just add some stronger actuators (and one for the steering weel + onefor the shift) and if needed some pneumatics. IT will work the same? way. And some people actually hawe tried wit sucess..
