It is a great device and I loved it on my RC helicopter tail servos and RC drift car but not so much on RC bashers .... I tried it but soon found I do not even need it in something like the Kraton. I like it for speed runs across some huge field in my Slash and in a drift car it was fantastic. But for jumping/bashing....it would mess me up. I've found that I can drive fine without it 100% of the time (even speed runs). If the vehicle kicks sideways off a jump...the tires want to try and point forward. I'm so use to not needing it on a basic basher that I just put mine in blinky mode. It's just shut off and I have not felt like even turning it back on. Yes you can adjust the gain and all that but I just couldn't get use to it for jumping. I simply just don't need it in the Kraton. I have one in my Slash now but never bother with it. It wont fit in the Kraton's receiver box. On ice...I would probably turn it on for sure. I agree...it is awesome but for most people, they can drive fine without it. Ice, slippery floor, I like to fool with it for sure. It's very cool, I just found that I almost never need it. Great to have if you want to turn it on. I had poor success with jumping with the AVC turned on.... I tried everything.
Lift your RC off the ground and you will see the servo drift if you are not zero on everything. You have to set your steering with the turnbuckles. Not a big deal...just a tip I've learned with heli tails. I noticed it happens with the AVC system also.
