brought the GYD470 with your advice (never before have i fitted or had to set up a gyro) and with your setup video tutorial ive set it up so easily, hassle free, not one problem and running perfectly first time!! thanks Roadside RC 🙏

Troy, let me start by saying your channel is Fantastic and you are the best reviewer on youtube. I am just getting into the drift scene. I have the chance to purchase the gyd450 and the gyd470 for the same price. Which would you recommend? Thanks for your time.

So I have the GYD550 and I totally agree with it being pretty complicated and not newbie friendly (i.e. Me) so I lost interest driving. Then I finally see this video and see how you adjusted your avcs/normal mode being that I have the same controller and that little detail has me excited to drive again bc it changed dramatically how the car felt for the better. So thank you for this video!

I like the shot that included both the transmitter and the car really helps visually demonstrate the different modes. I think hocking up a small fast servo with a pointer in-between the receiver and gyro would make your steering inputs on the transmitter better to film and more clear. Did you try to turn down the gain on avcs mode? I usually run my gyd450 at about 50-55 in avcs mode

Great video Troy

Dear friend. My name is Marcelo and it's been a few years since I found myself stuck in the hobby. In mid-2010 I started in rc drift, scale 1:10 and from then on it became a passion despite not practicing much. At the time it was the awd until the rwd came along. Well, today after leaving my country of origin and selling almost all my cars I'm building a drift car, which I'll use just for fun.The chassis in the case is a GRK EVO2 Shibata R31house, which I'm building and updating little by little. This chassis came to me basic but I'm providing the necessary upgrades without overspending. The electronics part, which I think is the most important, followed by shock absorbers and springs, is the one I'm having a problem with that I haven't faced in a long time, because a lot has changed in recent years. I have a Sanwa M12 radio, Sanwa Rx-472 SSL receiver ref. 92015. Esc I still haven't defined which engine it will be but something that is no more than 13.5T since it will not be a car for competition. Drift 4 fun! :) That said, I bought a FUTABA BLS371SV (HV S-BUS 2) servo from a friend that arrived for me yesterday. Perfect, until I was told that not every gyro gets along with a Futaba servo. Much has been said in the group I participate in but as always there is no cohesive and technical information. Not even some friends from Japan, who practice the hobby, know what I should adopt as a gyro for this scenario. Well, some options were given to me and I'll try to summarize here: 1 - that I sell the servant and buy another. This option is out of the question at least at first; 2 - that used gyro from OMG V4. (there are people though who told me that using that gyro was all a matter of luck); 3 - that used the Yokomo DP-302V4 3Ch gyro. Like the OMG, it has End point regulation. And for the value being close it would be a good choice; 4 - Like the previous gyro, the previous owner of the servo in question, he uses or used the Yokomo YG-302V2 3Ch gyro, without having incompatibility problems; 5 - I decided myself to go after a satisfactory answer that would convince me that I would not choose a wrong gyro, thus spending money that I cannot easily replace. I ended up watching your video about the Futaba GYD470 gyro and it seemed, so far, the best option given the cost and ease of operation and also because it is the same brand as the servo. And I liked what I saw. Put that above, I ask: Among the options presented, which ones are compatible with this servo (Futaba BLS371SV) using radio (Sanwa M12 radio system with RX472 SSLreceiver set) and which would be the best option for cost/benefit. Because I'm building a car for fun and not for competition. Thanks a lot. Best regards.

What do you do for a living Troy? Thanks for the video!

So helpful! I bought a 470 on the back of this video. I see when looking for a servo (on AMain) that it says “compatible with Futaba servos only”. Hoping you can confirm this is not the case? Doesn’t look like it based on this video or your one on the 450.

hey troy, back with more RMX questions lol. going to pick up my 470 today from the local shop and was wondering if you're aware of any issues that arise with this gyro and the stock transmitter pertaining to how much ability you get adjusting the gyro sensitivity.

Hey man, just bought my first MST rmx, what would you recommend as the first upgrades as I starting going into the electronics? Different videos from different people all say something different lol

Amazing...thanks for sharing

Also, I’m upgrading from stock 2.5 rtr, is there any servo/gyro combo you recommend. Is the combo you’re running here really working good? Are you still rocking the gyd470?

Hello mate ..... can u help please ..... I’m new to the drift game 3 months in now 😊 i av a MST RMX 2.5 RTR and i av just got a second hand T4PM & R334SBS with the GYD470 gyro (upgrades)😊 .... i got a new ReveD RS-ST servo (broke the standard 1) but i am avin trouble settin it all up 😢 ..... did u set up in SR mode ???? Is SR mode better ???? I would love to see a video of u settin it up in SR mode please ..... love all ur drift videos they av helped me a lot ❤😊 I got the 10BL120A hobbywing after watching ur video .... thanks a lot james from sunny england (on the wife’s ipad)😂

Did you test this gyd470 on Spektrum system? Mine just jitters on movement and no steering input comes through from transmitter. Tried rebinding at 22ms but no luck. Gyd 450 works great on spektrum

Can you compare remote controllers ? Radiolink vs sanwa or futaba in terms of single and pare racing ? In my drift community the radiolink controller is not being respected, i believe mostly because of delay (some people say there is not everything good with reability).

Hey Troy! Me again.... LOL Have you ever used a SBUS receiver with this Gyro, it's saying not to connect the gain and to go straight from the Rx channel to the SBIS on the receiver. Do I still control the game through channel 3 cuz that's what it's looking like in the instructions

Im thinking about pairing this with a Noble NB4, do you miss out on any features not having a futaba radio linked to it?

I love your channel and bought most of my setup based off of your reviews. Tonight was my first drift session with the club and I've ran into some issues. The main one is when adjusting the gain up or down on either the controller or on the gyro itself affects steering trim. Turn the gyro up to max and it's great fast steering with great angles but too sensitive and keeps trying to straighten me out rather than slide. Turn it down and the steering becomes really slow and limits the amount of angle on steering to the point that the steering barely turns and gyro is on low. Turn it off completely and the steering is quick and responsive with great angles again. Currently running the GYD 470, injora injs014 servo and dumboRC controller. Really not sure where to begun so any help on adjusting gain without affecting steering inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got one of these for my sons RRX build for Christmas. I briefly tried it in my FXX and I too felt like it was in AVCS in normal mode and I hated it lol. But maybe it'll work for my son who will still be learning. This is my first experience with Futaba gyros so I just thought they were all that way.

guess the best way to find whats good and whats not is to try it for yourself good review and test *left a like👍Au🎅full view💯👀*

That carpet track looks like it’s permanently outside. What type of carpet is that?

The AVCS mode still felt “worse” with less gyro gain? What performed better? Normal mode gyd470 or AVCS mode gyd450?

Troy. Have you figured this gyro out yet. I installed mine at the weekend and it feel's wierd. 😬

Says the futaba gyro is only compatible w futaba digital servos. But I see you running a rev d. I assume that statement isn’t true? What are your thoughts?

Having issues with this gyro. Can't get any steering respise from the radio. I'm using a radiolink rc6gs v2 with a radiolink r6f receiver. The gyro counter steers when I move the chassis but no response with input from the radio. Paired with a yokomo sp-02d v2 servo. Any help would be appreciated.

What’s is that track made of? I know the rc carpet but what about the base and stuff?

Is that track in someone's garden 🤔 Do a video on that, Construction and how you look after it, Probably not a good idea to have a outdoor track hear in England 😂

Any chance you could test the GYD470 with the Noble NB4? I have tried the GYD470 on a Spektrum DX3R and some cheaper (but programmable TX's) and I get no TX controlled steering, but gyro steering works fine. If I unplug the Gyro and connect steering servo directly to RX, steering works fine. I don't want to buy the NB4 and find the same issue, but if someone can confirm it works, I'll order one. Futaba 4PM is nearly $200 more than the NB4 here in Aus.

Any thoughts how well this would work for off-road tracks?

should i be worried if my servo is making a small buzzing noise when it moves how should i fix it if it is not a good thing?

I find it comfusing to adjust endpoints and also adjust steering on the gyro, how can i be sure i wont lock my wheels?

Is the reved servo compatible with the gyd470? Does it make a good combo?

Can I used a radio link rx/tx with this gyro? I just ordered a rmx kit today and this was the gyro I went with.

So would this gyro work good on a mst rmx 2.0 with a flysky gt5 transmitter and receiver?

I have gyd470 with a yokomo v2 servo, it's slow to return, end points are narrow even on max (not a lot of turn) and really undriveable, what have I done wrong?

Just bought this gyro, for Mst rmx2.5 rtr. I put in my spectrum radio and connect everything and I’m getting no steering can’t set up endpoints non responsive. Anyone have insight on set up? Using a dx5c? Did I get a dud?

I only Need a gyro to go straight stable not to drift i only have a 2ch normal Controller do you know the right gyro for me?

So, I really don't like the AVCS mode on the GYD450, I run normal mode and love it. I should stick with a 450 for my second car ? how is the ReveD feel versus GYD normal and AVCS ?

i installed this gyro and when powered up a green light blinks and then goes out. it steers left/right but when i pick up the back of the car and move it nothing happens. this is a new build .

Can i use my radiolink rc4gs receiver with this gyro ???

When i using GYD550, AVCS is harder, Normal mode is easier. That prove to me GYD470 normal mode is easier as it has some GYD550 element in it.

Aye How do I speed mine UP

You said your son went from the DP-302 V4 to GYD450 and felt it was better. Did you happen to test the difference yourself? Or the 550? I’m 100% new to drift, haven’t even bought yet… so trying to decide on RTR (& upgrades) vs kit. Like the YD-2Z line. I’m only going to be solo outside on asphalt, my cement patio, or a garage like you. So I am trying to balance out my tendency to want to buy high end stuff versus how much of an expense really makes sense. We don’t have a drift club in town. Car but no drift aspect. Only know two other people that have drift cars. so it’s never likely that they will be an indoor drift track

they claim that " NOTE: This is only compatible with Futaba Digital Servos." perhaps thats the reason it felt strange, anyways expensive futaba staff that i wouldnt bother to buy.

Que beleza vou colocar um deste no meu carro. pois o que tenho nao esta bom . Nao consigo controlar o carro. Marca do que tenho . RBR/C . R484S Gyro. Acho que esta marca é muito ruim. Gostei de seu Video . Vai me ajudar muito. Abraço Roberto Q .Mello
