Can a Gyro be installed in a TRAXXAS Slash 2wd car to help make it go straight coming out of a turn?

Yes a gyro can be installed but i think you will need a new rx/tx. If you have a brushed slash you probably have the tq radio. You can upgrade to a traxxas tqi which comes with a gyro. Or you could find a $50-80 dollar Amazon radio with a gyro. I believe spektrum systems have a gyro but I'm not sure of that.

You can buy standalone gyros. They have an adjustment on the gyro to adjust how sensitive they are. I have seen some good gyros that work great on the track that other people were using, but any time I have messed with them, I ended up taking them out. Learning throttle control and setting the EXP in your Tx is the way to go.
