The SkyRC GC301 Gyro will give you so much more control of you Vehicle! Drifting made easy! It works just like the Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), but you can add it to any hobby grade RC!
*The TSM in the Thumbnail stands for 'Tomley Stability Management' 🤔

I've been looking for information on this and after going through 15 different videos whereupon they wasted my freaking life they were that bad no info just dumb… I finally found this video thank you so much for showing everything we needed to see. You showed off the Gyro what I expected it to do but thanks for showing I think I'm going to get one

I have this gyroscope ordered it off of banggood with a racerstar 80a esc and 3660 brushless motor, on dirt, gravel or pavement it keeps my traxxas 4x4 stable at high speeds. This is defently a good product

Just got back to the Rc hobby while being quarantined due to c infection (think omikron). Just had a SC truck stored around for couple of years gathering dust, so now I was asking myself if this thing could drift. Order now such gyro module and can’t wait to install it and take it outside when my health allows it. Great video, thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to make & post this video! I'm currently looking at getting this little gyro. I have a traxxas rustler 2wd. Now that I'm doing 40mph+ on the car, it's getting a bit harder to control. And I have a brushless system coming in that will make things even harder to control lol. I hope this is compatible with the stock 3 channel TQ receiver.

I had an extra gyro that I used in my race car. It didn’t allow for separate aileron controls and because I prefer flaperons, the gyro is useless to me for airplanes, but not for my car. Incredible to see how much of a difference it can make!

A gyro depends upon the Servo you use also. If the servo you use is slow or is a low torque servo your gyro wouldn't be able to hold the position of your car as well. If it's slow it would not correct the problem quickly enough and if it isn't strong enough it would not have any holding power. This would cause your gyro to work much harder sending correction signals to your servo and it would over work your servo also. So not having a good enough servo would affect the performance of your gyro and also shorten it's life and that of the servo. I had an experience I had a Yokomo Dp-302 V4 gyro and a Traxxsas 2255 servo Torque-400 oz/in and speed 0.15s to go 60deg. This worked so good it held my Rustler Ruler straight. Then I upgraded my radio to a Futaba 4PV and Futaba strongly suggested to link it only with Futaba servos and I also got a Futaba gyro to keep it within the Futaba Family. So I got a Futaba s 3071HV servo Torque-146oz/in and speed 0.19s to 60deg and a Futaba gyc441 gryo. The performance in holding my car straight wasn't anywhere as good. Not because of the gyro but because of the servo. I got the top end Traxxsas servo and it speed and torque were much better. A point is that to get really great performance from top companies you have to spend a lot more. That being said if you go with their higher end servos they are really good but you have to pay $ 120 plus.

@@Openthrottlerc I'm not really sure. I know that generally Futaba usually strongly recommends that if you have a Futaba radio and receiver that you use a Futaba Servo and gyro. If I'm not mistaken though I heard Raz Shiffrin say that he uses the gyc441 and I saw him using a non Futaba servo, so I believe so if memory serves me right.

This gyro, I believe, burned up the 7kg stock servo on a brand new Arrma Granite brushless. I was testing it in my rear patio area, around a table and some chairs, and then it wouldn't steer. There was an odor of sweet molasses where the servo sits. Opening the servo verified the fire damage. I have since upgraded to a 20KG and willing to try again if enough people concur with me that the original 7kg was too weak and caused the failure, and upgrading to a 20KG would be the solution. I would hate to waste another servo.

I've been using these for a while, they are a god send in some vehicles, especially as you up the power and want to drive on dirt etc. They can literally transform a vehicle from undriveable to a pleasant basher. One I can think of in particular is my 1st gen short wheelbase E-Maxx. Upgraded it to brushless and it really struggled to stay straight with all the extra power. And I found the bigger transfer of force when you came off the throttle made it twitchy and unstable too, especially with the short wheelbase. If you gave it a full speed blast and then braked or even just coasted it could get easily upset or veer to one side because the back end was wanting to overtake the front. It got quite annoying when even going in a straight line become hair raising. Adding a gyro meant all the little inputs that were previously necessary to stop it flipping over were no longer necessary and you could concentrate purely on driving it. There's now a much greater feeling of stability and being in control where before the thing just felt overpowered.

@Tatybojangles10
@Tatybojangles10 2 жыл бұрын
This would be all down to the speed your trying to go, if your going too fast it would push the front end wide as it can’t turn at the higher speeds, gyro or not. With the gyro it would be the control of the drifts will be easier at the slower speeds you need for the tighter corners, where the power overcomes what your trying to do causing a spin.

Tomley, does that rig have Lipo protection? I showed my sand rail by the same company recently in the RCSparks facebook/group and it doesn't have protection. Wrecked a nice 2000mah batt that way. BTW< I use Spektrums' version of traction control with which you can switch off the steering control & only use throttle control for stability. Much better combination if you're racing. Never try to use steering control at a track - it'll throw your rig off on every turn.
