That "easy mode" didn't turn out easy for me either. I find it more difficult with that amount of interference.

Which one is easy mode ? Red or blue ?

A lot of people said it feels almost identical but I really don't know. Using this gyro makes drifting very easy to the point that I feel like cheating anyway.

Both is fine. It takes from the centre to either -100L or 100H. Both will count as 100%.

@@BeaversHobby Thank you very much!

Have you tried doing the opposite side when setting end point? Also check if the wiring is correct (judging from it went into EPA I'd assume it is correct). The never ending red flashing is really strange and never happen to me so either something went wrong or it's faulty. You can also try and reset the end point and see if it works without EPA setup. If it still doesn't work then the gyro is definitely faulty.

@@BeaversHobby thanks for replying back! I will try your suggestions and post my results.

Check if the connection is OK and the gyro gain is not set to 0. Also did you see the gyro initialize OK and did the light change the stage from the moment you turn the car on and the light goes solid? If there's no initialize phase then something is wrong, either the connection or the gyro is defective.

AFRC V3 is much smaller so if your car don't have much space, it's better. PowerHD G1 helps you drift more and it makes drifting much easier to the point that I feel like cheating but it's very big so if you get it you'll have to manage the space inside your car especially for WLtoys K989. For RWD drifting AFRC V3 is already great. PowerHD G1 helps if the car is unruly like the HGD1. So I'd say for K989 AFRC V3 is better.

The servo travel doesn't change when the gyro is on. Some will report slight understeer after using gyro. If you are turning at speed, the turning radius will become wider (depending on how much gain you use) because it'll try to correct the car and stop it from spinning. Otherwise it'll be the same. It reacts to the inertia of the car and moves the servo, that's basically how it works.

Once you plug the VR channel in, it overrides the dial so it doesn't matter where you leave it.

Gyro wobble can come from different things like vibration, the tyres or floor are not smooth, slop in the steering mechanism, etc. You'll have to check it one by one. If it wobbles but the car still drifts and you still have control then don't worry about it.

@@BeaversHobby thanks

I don't remember PowerHD having G2 though. Anyway, there are more gyros with slow return. GT55 has it. AFRC GYS-2 V4 also has it.

This is RWD. A well-modded K989/969 is really good for RWD drifting. It is tricky to get right so don't expect too much.

Sounds like the connection is incorrect. Check the wiring if everything is in the right place. The cable with 4 wires go into the receiver, 3 for channel 1 and the other one for knob/VR that change the gain. The servo goes in the gyro.

Found out its not the wires plugged in incorrectly the stock mst xtr 03 radio and reciever dont work with this gyro

They feel very similar down to very good filter and minimal to none wheel shake. So, it depends on the space inside your car.

@@BeaversHobby got it i think i'll try this gyro

Yes.

Try and change the mode between hi-sensitivity and normal, that will reduce some wobble. Also you can try and mount it somewhere else that might has less vibration. Other things that can make the steering wobble are loose steering assembly, wrong servo frequency setting on the transmitter side, unbalanced tyres, etc.

@@BeaversHobby thank you 🙏 for your reply. I appreciate your advice.

@@alejandrocueva3372 My pleasure.

Yes, it does. Plug it in the same as in the tutorial except the remote gain adjustment. It's overkill to use this gyro with an AWD car though.

@@BeaversHobby yes, I'll take some overkill, thank you 🤣

@@shrimperlincs3395 My pleasure. Best of luck with the project!

Is this the new version with very small servo plug? If the plug is converted correctly then it should work. I recommend you to check the servo plug that goes into the gyro and the plug from gyro to 2-in-1 again and see if the polarity and signal wire is correct.

​@@BeaversHobbyThe servo connector is a 3 wire futaba type. I'll check to see if it's a connection problem. Glad you didn't say " no it won't work lol ". Thanks for the quick reply! 👍

​@@BeaversHobbyI took the gyro out of my Losi which worked great and put it back in the k969. Turn it on and the gyro starts blinking blue. I realize you've mentioned incorrect connection but I don't see how when you can't mess it up. The white striped whites match up. 1 wire is a female connector that goes to the 2n1 the other gyro wire is a male end connector that the steering servo plugs into and since I'm using the stock radio I won't be using the single gyro wire connector. I'll adjust the gain manually. Does this all sound correct? Unplug the gyro and hook up the servo wire back on the esc and the steering works as it should. I don't understand.

@@BeaversHobby Plugged the gyro back into the Losi and it works correctly so I know whatever the problem is, it isn't the gyro. The k969 steers without it but plug the gyro in and nothing. I'm might be going out on a limb here but I think there's something funky with the 2n1. I have a different radio and receiver and esc ordered but I was itching to just try it out. Big bummer.

@@BeaversHobby I guess I should've mentioned when the gyro was in the Losi V100 Camaro it had a separate esc and receiver installed. The brush version comes with a 45A 2n1 installed. Well for grins and giggles I put the 2n1 back in the Losi and hooked the gyro up....same thing as the other one....dead no steering.. flashing blue.

Yes, it'll work with any remote. You don't need to plug in the CH3 or 4 or any VR channel, just use the dial on the gyro to adjust the gyro gain.

Doesn't work with the controller that was in the box for me !@@BeaversHobby

@@franciscoadrien7676 Check the connection and make sure you don't move the car when turn it on. Wait for the gyro to initialize and it should work.

Not sure the version it comes with but if there's a dip switch with NOR-RWV, flick that to another side. If there's only a button then normally when the car is on, hold the button for 3 seconds or until the light blinks. It'll reverse the direction.

@@BeaversHobby unfortunately it doesn't have the rev switch and holding the button doesn't do anything. Ill pick up a new gyro. Thanks beaver.

You can increase the end points after setting it on the gyro but it's not going to do anything because the gyro will accept those values as min and max output. This is also to prevent the wheels from locking up and not return to the centre. The better way is to set the end points on the transmitter more than in should first, about 2-3 steps, set the end points on gyro then decrease the end points to what you will use. That way the gyro can move a bit more than what you set on the transmitter.

@@BeaversHobby Τhank you for the reply man! I don't know if I explained it well, what I am saying is when for example you set the end points on the transmitter exactly to lock, then when the gyro works and might be at an angle, then it won't let me use all my steering because the gyro thinks I shouldn't be doing that and I spin out. So I was wondering now the gyro has end points if I can set it so it somehow limits the off-limit servo move, but let me control the whole servo range within this range at all times...Could this be achieved...?

@@MiniRacersRC Unfortunately, not form the end point setting. The end point is for min-max of the steering range. If the gyro won't allow you to move when you want then you'll have to decrease the gain.

@@BeaversHobby well on this HPI Dbox2 I had so far, the gain is at 10°clock at the most and yet having some wobble xD

that 'signal lost' when doing the endpoint adjustment made me reach for my transmitter....

one of the things i have been playing with is mixing in throttle and steering into ch3 to change the gyro sensitivity under acceleration and/or turning

@@BlitzWorks Mixing throttle with gyro gain is genius! Thanks for the tip!

@@BeaversHobby if you think that's good, try playing with mixes and turning one of the paddle shift buttons either side of the steering wheel into a handbrake. switch it to 2 position mode then mix it in reverse to the throttle. when tapping it it should engage at -100% and override throttle position played with this as i have trouble modulating brake and getting to the brake quickly and was trying to work out how to do it faster as a side effect you can use it as launch control by tapping accelerate while on the start line then holding he paddle keeping the car in brake mode rather than reverse, engage throttle to 100% and release the paddle to take off

@@BlitzWorks Yeah, I was always wondering how they pull the handbrake so quickly.

The Mini-Z mode is in the System > Radio Frequency Setup > RF Std. It's the mode for Mini-Z EVO series with the proprietary receiver and it doesn't concern the DRZ which is a car with standardize electronics or I call it "proper RC electronics". There's no preset for it but you can set the radio to do what you want. The main setups are steering and throttle direction, check if anything need reversing. Then set the EPA for steering first so you don't stress the servo by asking it to do beyond the steering range of the chassis. Then you can set the EPA for throttle to limit the speed and make it controllable. That's pretty much it. This is different from car to car (especially the EPA) so I can only tell you the basic idea.

Beaver's Hobby thanks so much, I messed around with it a bit and got it working, only problem I’m having now is my gyro I think. My steering wobbles when is drive and turn. Any idea on how to fix that?

@@golfwang4209 If it drifts then don't worry too much about it. There are a lot to check like if the vibration isolation is good. If you use too much gain, if the wheels are perfectly balanced and if the steering assembly is sloppy.

Beaver's Hobby that makes sense, I think the surface I was drifting on caused allot of vibration. Thanks for your quick response!

@@golfwang4209 My pleasure.

It usually runs much lower than that so there's nothing to worry about.

Yes, it will. But it'll be way overkill for a truck though.

@@BeaversHobby Its the only Gyro my local is selling

Yes, you can. Using gyro with AWD is nothing strange.

Does the gyro have to be centered on the car to make it work properly?

@@forthememes1311 As long as it's on centre line it'll work.

Flysky Noble NB4, Here's my review kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip5mibueu6nTpok.html .

It's a dedication in another form.

Performance wise, PowerHD G1 is a better gyro. But if the space is limited then AFRC V3 is better. The AFRC is already very good for RWD drifting, PowerHD G1 makes things so easy that I feel like it's on the verge of cheating.

thank you for your answer . i will choose power hd g1 for my 1/28 . because your answer tends to be easy power hd. for space I will arrange in my kit

@@alday1821 Best of luck! For smaller cars like DriftArt or GLD it might be a bit difficult but maneuver it a bit and you can make it fit.

Thanks beaver's. hope i succeed.because i just ordered the gyro

AFRC V3 has the same feature and a fraction of the size. Also... nice! TRC. It's really rare but design is superb.

It's HGD1. It's not that good in today's standard but it'll get you sliding if you have no other choice. TG Racing should be in the same price range and it's way better than this.

Good to know the TG Racing is recommended by you! Looking into it, as well as the GLD and the Onisiki Kodama

Tried different methods but none of them really works.

@@BeaversHobby so in your opinion, best car to start with? Xrx, hdg1, fatjay miniQ,DRZ? Theres a lot of ootions, but each has their set of problems....

@@k.thomas295 It really depends on what you are looking for. My personal favourite is the GLD. But it already has a lot of upgrades to make it perfect to drive. Out of the box it should be about as good as DRZ V2. Those are top cars for 1/28 that are also easy to find unlike Driftart2 or DMK something. As for 1/24 scale BMR-X offers very good scale model compatibility. So basically you can't go much wrong with these 3 cars.

I know enough. How may I help you?

@@BeaversHobby can u buy a lipo for the mini q rc cars and what all would i need to do to get a lipo on it if not? cuz i got the wltoy k989 also n wanna try and have rechargeable lipo like that car cyz the AAA die really fast n then u cant drift lol

@@BeaversHobby and i also wanted to know if thats a good gyro to use in it also n is it removable

​@@claytondunlop248 The original package of Mini-Q AWD cars like Q5, Q6, Q7 comes with 2S lipo 400mAh and a charger already. You can buy the batteries separately, it's just standard 2S lipo 400mAh . It's the same size as in WLtoys so the battery is interchangeable. You can also buy other lipo to use with it too, GiantPower 300mAh, Turnigy Nanotech 300mAh both will fit inside the tray nicely. WLtoys come with Lipo already too so I don't know how you have K989 with AAA. As for the gyro, you can put in in and pull it out. As you can see in this video, you can plug it in easily and if you don't want to use it anymore, just unplug it and take it out of the car. Yes, the gyro in this video is excellent for any car and it's removable as you can see in the video, it's just some plugs and a double sided tape. If this is too big for the car, again, see the video for the measurement and check if it'll fit inside your shell, here's another great gyro to use for drifting and it's tiny as well so you won't have any trouble fitting it inside the car. bit.ly/2XD0Xms

@@claytondunlop248 It's excellent and it's removable too.

Yes, of course. You can use it with any transmitter. Just don't forget to disable the onboard gyro.

@@BeaversHobby I wonder what the size would be if you were to get rid of the case xD

You say this gyro is one of the best gyro you’ve tested. Would this also be true in a 1:10 drift setup? Everyone seem to recommend yokomo v3/v4 but I have trouble finding that one where I live.

@@RomeoOlsson Yes, this also applies to 1/10 drift. I've read a bout people using this and they say it's almost like Yokomo V4 or so close that makes no difference.

@@BeaversHobby Even with the stock controller from the k969?

Yes, it'll work great with LDRC. G1 has really good filter to eliminate wheel shake and good steering curve for direct steering system.

@@BeaversHobby tysm

@@zyche5546 My pleasure. This also gave me the idea for a video to test different gyros that I have on LDRC.

@@BeaversHobby YES!! THEY'RE GREAT!! Fun to work with.. I'm new to rc drifting, even though people always says that the Rx7 is the best out of the box, i still prefer the Nsx cuz it's cool( which is the terrible one)
