For those that don't know what these leaning bikes are....
Quote on how these work from elsewhere as Bycmo site is in spanish and i don't get far beyond "dos grande cervesas"...
No RC, it is all done through the track. (At least that's how Spaniards explained it to me).
Transformer is needed on Nico and Scalextric track because the controller needs just the right voltage. US Ninco trafo pipes too much noload voltage (apparently) and the controller has the protection circuit built in - you see two lights flashing, indicating overload/short.
Just like cars, bike can easily de-slot. Going fast into the turn and not leaning, or leaninng the wrong way will de-slot bikes. But leaning the right way and going too fast will, just like in real life, de-slot bikes as well. Controller features trim style controller which sets the maximum speed and, at certain setting, bikes will start running without gunning the throttle. Our sales agent used that feature to showcase bikes at the Expo. One final note on de-slot: bikes de-slot while leaning and going into the turn, so they stay leaning when you pick it up. Well, when put back in slot, you hear high-pitched sound and you watch as the bike straightes itself up - very cool!
So it sounds like a servo doing the leaning getting its signal through the rails... could be an overlay AC current or a digital signal...
