  • RC Drifting is one of the most challenging forms of RC out there.
    Many people get confused as they try to setup the electronics in these cars for the first time.
    One of the most common tripping points is the gyro installation and setup.
    In this video, I give you 3 easy steps to confirm if your gyro is working correctly.

    Other common issue I encountered when helping the guys in my area:
    1) Increase steering EPA for both side but wheels still doesn't steer much. Reason because gyro end point was set too little, which limit the steering.
    2) Moving the gyro and servo from chassis A to chassis B and NOT redoing the end points.

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  6 месяцев назад

      Hi there!
      For drifting, KG isn't really that important. The cars are very lightweight, turning very small tires.
      What is more important is the quality of the servo. My go-to servo is this one: bit.ly/47AEXK2
      But have also had good luck from the AGFRC drift-specific servo: amzn.to/3IawuD2

    i have the powerhd smart gyro, I cant use the gyro nor the servo, If i have the servo connected to the gyro the gyro gets power but it doesn’t initiate and the servo doesn’t move at all. ive flipped the connectors multiple times… Do i need a transmitter with 3 ch? Im using a 2ch transmitter with a 3ch transmitter

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  2 месяца назад

      Yes - you 100% need a controller that can adjust the gain. Otherwise, the gyro does not work and you can not set it up correctly.

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  Год назад +2

      The 550 is the pinnacle. But, requires specific equipment and setup to get running.
      The 470 is 95% of the performance with much less hassle.

      Unfortunately, I have never used that specific radio. I also have had really bad luck with Spektrum radios and drifting. They seem to not want to cooperate.
      Try to find a specific channel on the radio that you can discretely control. Then hook the gyro to that channel.

    Man I have a Yokomo rtr there’s no option to reverse the gyro on the gyro or the transmitter. There’s a button on the gyro but it doesn’t do anything at all? Even if I press it when the car is on, nothing happens.
    My gyro and steering were reversed after I did a yeah racing slide rack install and now I can’t get my gyro to go back to normal. I didn’t even touch the thing, why would it have gotten reversed at all??

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  2 месяца назад

      Unfortunately, the factory gyro is really bad. When you did the slide rack mod, it reversed the mechanism of the steering - which means you need to change the steering and gyro direction.
      Your options are to (1) upgrade controller, gyro, and servo or (2) put the steering system back to the original setup.

    • @trashheap5590
      @trashheap5590 2 месяца назад

      @@RoadsideRC yeah i think I’ll just go the route of upgrading for now. I was able to reverse steering thru factory settings but gyro still won’t budge. Some fellas on Reddit said if you mount it upside down it will work and I tested that. It does work, so I guess I can just mount it upside down on the upper deck until I can afford new parts. Thanks for the reply man I know this is an old video kinda.

    I have a mst rmx 2.0 as a starter for drifting but after my servo broke down and I had to switch to a savox black edition 1251mg but after switching to the new servo my drift car doesn't drift anymore. Every time I pull in the throttle the care just spins in circle instead of going forward and initiating the drift when I turn. I didn't touch anything else beside moving the gyro to the middle because the connection wire to the gyro from the servo was to short so I had to move it. Do you know what could be the problem or is it because of my gyro isn't working right. My gyro is a stock one from the box and still turns when I lift it and move it around.

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  Год назад

      The gyro is reversed. Either move the reverse switch, or turn the gyro 180 degrees.
