Technical Performance
The FTX HAVOK CHASSIS SIDE LIGHTS AND GYRO UNIT represents a carefully engineered solution for Havok owners seeking enhanced stability and visual impact. The gyro stabilisation system works by continuously monitoring your RC car's angular movement and automatically making micro-adjustments to help maintain your desired heading and prevent unwanted spinning during aggressive drifting manoeuvres. This technology is particularly valuable during high-speed drifts and dynamic cornering where even minor steering inputs can result in loss of control. The side lights feature LED technology that delivers bright, reliable illumination throughout multiple driving sessions without significant power drain on your vehicle's battery system. The component is built to withstand the rigours of regular RC car use, with durable construction that can handle the vibrations, impacts and environmental factors typical of indoor and outdoor drifting venues across the UK. The integration with the Havok's 1/14th scale platform means every dimension and connection point has been optimised for perfect fitment, and the electrical integration has been designed to work seamlessly with your existing radio control system and battery configuration without requiring any modifications or additional components.
