RC motorcycles?

DOES anyone have an idea as to how RC motorcycles are able to steer? Wonderin if there is a gyro or special use of servo to make it lean into a turn.

My thoughts are to use the old 130 motor from my DRR and frankenstien a 1/24scale model superbike into a cheap fun toy for the track or tennis courts. Will mount the motor in the low mid-body with a belt or chain running a gear on the back wheel. Two batteries mounted low running from motor to the back axle sorta like mufflers. Any thoughts would be helpful.

gyro

yeah they appear to have a gyro (flywheel) to maintain a level ride and forward direction. No info on the motor size. I'll like to jack it up a bunch into a real frankenstien. The voltage is only about 3v. - Would need to run +4v to see any big boost. Wonder what the max voltage is.
