Since the gyro indicates rotational speed, it shuoldn't matter how high or low it is mounted on the chassis. In a rigid body, everything part rotates at the same speed. Unless the part it's mounted on isn't fixed to the rest of the chassis, the only advantage to mounting it high up is if you're able to damp vibrations and noise better at that location....
