Hello!

For my personnal point of view, as said before, gyro only makes the car more smooth and help to have consistancy lap after lap.

I have it and love it. On both my mini 96 at home or on the larger track at the club. One important thing with the Dnano, is the fact they're so small...
Even a little bump a mini-z would never "feel" can make this car chatter.
For me, the gyro helps preventing these kind of problem on RCP. Sure the RCP is a great surface, and with the right tires, it's easy to go fast with a consistant car and so, focus more and more on line.
But with the Dnano, if you want to get the most out of this car (on an "non-perfectly flat" ground), you will need the gyro.

I'm curious about testing a Dnano on a full flat carpet track. On this kind of support, I do believe the Gyro will not be as effective. On carpet,your car is constantly lightly drifting in the curve. At least if you try to push hard. So the gyro will only try to get the car "back on the track" leading to a smooth but slower turn. I do suppose the Dnano (and so, it's gyro) is set for RCP track as tires are developped to work on this surface.
