The Tamiya 54417 Active Steering Assist Unit TGU-01 is a compact gyro module that helps stabilise rear-wheel-drive cars. When the vehicle starts to oversteer, the sensor applies counter steering to reduce the chance of a spin, aiding consistent laps on low-grip surfaces. It performs well on chassis such as the F104 and RM-01.
This steering assist supports adjustable counter steer range and sensitivity, configurable using a 3-channel transmitter. That lets you tailor intervention to your driving preferences and the available grip. Remember that some formal competitions prohibit gyro aids, including certain classes overseen by major sanctioning bodies in the United States and the Tamiya Championship Series, so it is most useful outside those events.
For club sessions and casual track days the Tamiya 54417 Active Steering Assist Unit helps drivers keep control of rear-wheel models. Its tuning options make it versatile across different conditions without changing core setup.
