i had look this today aswell.. sounds like a good idea saying it takes the edge off the motor which in turn keeps the nose down for better corner but its like a big flywheel on a car once you get it going, you try slowing it down at the end of fast straight...
so iam not sure

It will work on slippery stuff as it not spool up as easy but it will also take more slowing down into corners.

isnt a hydradrive, better as it has the flywheel effect plus the variable traction control

I think it is there to remove the harshness from the acceleration and braking of the latest sintered rotors, as I am guessing they are having a lot of traction breaking on the slippy stuff, although I think it is far less essential on high grip.

Two things worry me about this part. One is that its esentially a gyro. Anyone tried to move a gyro at full whack? They don't like to change direction. The second is if the transmission is ballanced how will this effect its control in mid air. You need a biased rotating mass to pitch the nose up or down.
I'm glad to see theyre trying new things tho and it'll be ineresting to see if it works and if it does who'll be the first manufacturer to copy it  .

I sent the official UK Press Release with FULL details part number and prices on out to all UK shops on our mailing list last thing before we left work tonight, so all shops will have all the detials available in the morning. UK RRP is £14.99, first stock arrived into Heathrow airport early this afternoon and is now just awaiting customs clearance.
The weight can be drilled out with the supplied drill bit to reduce the overall mass and hence effect it has, only downside to this is once you have drilled the weight you cannot put it back on, so think carefully before you decide to remove some material if you get one. Will also fit other 2wd buggies, trucks and SC's too (ie Losi and AE etc)

This is a cool little tuning aid actually. Ran it most of the day at EPR and a few other tracks as well.
It does obvioulsy take the edge of motors which is a pretty good thing but it also helps with getting more steering on our high grip tracks. As far as jumping goes didn't feel any negatives with it and I agree with the fact it should be harder to slow down but the level of brakes we have is more than enough to slow it so not really a proplem and not something any of us commented on whilst we were testing it.
