Well to tell the truth, the system is really easy, its driven with an xbox 360 controller, like any normal 4 wheel drive, and the "A" and "B" button switch modes, once the modes are switched the program knows what setup it is in (based on what button is pushed) and switchs drive codes accordingly, no gyro, nothing special on it at all. Just designed very well (not to toot my own horn )
