Gyro Upgrade - Onisiki vs Yokomo V4 in my YD2 - DriftSpot

So here's the next YD2 upgrade for me, moving to a Yokomo V4 from an Onisiki ally case. Take a look!

Im deciding between the Daruma and the yokomo so thanks for this video

A guy at the track did exactly the same swap. Didn't feel any difference whatsoever. The steering restriction is based on gain. My Onisiki didn't want to transition and didn't allow much manual steering with 64 gain on transmitter but 57 feels perfect.

[@DriftSpotLincoln]

Yes to a point. But no end points if your controller is cheaper, means over time you can damage servo. I think you can run higher gain before it happens on the yoko. I like the end point set. But agree that its splitting hairs. They don't sell that cheaper onisiki anymore. Shame. They were bargains!

@DriftSpotLincoln I guess my servo is pretty strong because it lasted 5 years without end points. Onisiki has released an updated version with end points called Fukurou but it's a shame their gyros aren't sold worldwide. And there's more competition in that range from other manufacturers like Power HD that fill the gap in.

@totallyrandomuser5760 totally agree. The cheap onisiki used to be the go to for newbies. Now it's got more features but more cost, it puts so many other choices in the way.

Is there a way to set endpoints for the Onisiki? I’m having the same issue with the lockout, and setting the endpoints in my transmitter doesn’t limit the gyros endpoints.

[@DriftSpotLincoln]

Not the base model onisiki ally one no. The better onisiki models have a button to set it. Check your model. If its the one I had. No. You can set the end points on your controller but that's only your steering and the gyro still has 100% unless it has the feature. Thanks

Does it matter which orientation the Gyro is?

[@DriftSpotLincoln]

Nope!
