most gyros are single axis and only control one channel (on heli's its the rudder channel) try flying a heli without a gyro is a mega task

there are dual axis gyro's which in theory could be linked to both throttle and steering channels on a car , it wouldnt be an altimeter control but i can see where Mark is coming from , on an upslope the pitch angle may induce the gyro to act and open or close the throttle (on electric im not sure this would be possible but on a on a gas car with throttle servo i dont see why not

heli pilots better than me please put me straight if im talking codswallop
