The Voyagers use attitude control jets for stabilization, whereas the Pioneer probes are spin-stabilized. This makes the Voyagers no good for testing the anomaly, unfortunately. I think New Horizons may be useful for testing it during parts of its journey. But we need a new, dedicated probe to test things out.
