How To Setup and Test the Yokomo DP-302 v4 RC Drift Gyro

[@RoadsideRC]

CORRECTION!! When I mention the reverse on the gyro, that is to reverse the gyro operation, not the steering operation like I show.

[@ShaneMikula]

If someone is just starting, I'd highly recommend Normal Mode and Hard(Red LED) with gyro set between 80-90 percent. This will allow you to transition faster and won't hold you back. If you have the V4 and your servo wobbles at these settings, you need either a better servo or to turn up the torque value on said servo, if it's adjustable.

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for the tips!

[@igortodorovic6463]

I honestly need someone to walk me threw all the setting customizations on my radio and all that. I'm new but believe I have a decent set up. Maybe it's because I'm new to it but I feel like something is off because it's super hard to drift. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it so much!

[@thump3r]

hard is exactly what you stated. it assist the steering controls so you can keep an angle and learn to counter steer. imo its counter productive and creates bad behaviors for rwd drift. green on the other hand is exactly what you stated again. it kicks you out and allows you full control of the angle instead of giving you that "extra time" to react and counter steer. IMO if you run a yokomo v4 you should only run and learn on green mode.

Hey Troy, your reviews and experimenting with other brands from Yokomo, ReveD, Futaba, and low budget gyro are awesome. Truly helpful. Knowledge is power. Would like to see you do a full review & demonstration on the Onisiki flagship gyro the Daruma 3-axis high performance gyro model #ONI2804 from explaining its capabilities, programming, settings, S.Bus purpose, using it with a low budget servo (digital or analog) and using it with your most favorite go to servo - etc. I would definitely watch that video and I have other friends that would like to know your personal views on the product. Our RC drift group is not budget friendly. Sky is the limit with us. We want what’s best for our cars and it’s experience, we just want a honest review about the product and it comparison to the other servo you have used or owned. It would be truly helpful… continue using the kiss theory (keep it simple & sweet) …

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for the kind words! I'll have to check that gyro out. Honestly - the feedback I get is easily 10:1 in favor of budget-oriented parts. Folks want to try drifting, and don't want to pay a lot to get started. If I could only tell you the number of times asked about converting a Tamiya TT-02 to RWD...

[@johnjohncrisostomo6152]

Yeah boss it is understandable most people are budget friendly with this type of hobby. Our RC drift group are all prior military and our mindset is go big or go home. From collecting guns, vintage cars, RC’s , and the list goes on when it’s about going all out. If your going to enjoy something might as well just go all out to truly enjoy the moment and when I was stationed in Japan I started off small and ended up at the top but I was spending to much money to get there. With the past experience and lessons that I have I know now that it’s much cheaper to go all out then starting off small then working yourself to the top. I’m just glad the beginner stuff I kept were in great condition to sell and for me to buy more advance items in this hobby. Many guys have said in this type atmosphere that its better to start off big then go small but do your research first. . When you have the top of the line items you never want to look back. My friends and I just go straight to the top but like to see other peoples review, personal views, and opinions of hot products before jumping into the fire or our newbie getting their feet wet.

I know this is an old video, but it helped me with my initial set up for my V4. So thanks for that! Also, I didn't see it mentioned in the comments I went through, but I'm pretty sure adjusting the setting on the transmitter is actually switching between normal and assist modes and there was just a translation issue in the manual. From what I've seen on my car hard mode acts just like assist and soft mode feels the same as normal. Also if you pick the car up and check the return speed for the gyro, soft is fast like normal mode and hard is slow like assist mode.

[@RoadsideRC]

That is an interesting take. All of the folks I have talked with clearly treat hard/soft as different than assist/normal. Glad the video helped!

Hey Troy! Excellent video! I’m currently in the process of building my first rc drifter. I’m definitely thinking of getting this gyro, but still not sure what controller to get or even how many channels it may need. Any advice?

[@RoadsideRC]

In this video, I show the Futaba 4Pm. Great controller. A no-regrets purchase that will do everything you want it to do. Link: amzn.to/3PFV5lS It is expensive though, so you can always step down to the 3PV. It does 90% of what the 4PM can do, for a cheaper price: amzn.to/3wLhc2V You are looking for something with a 3rd or 4th channel that you can manipulate in a 0-100 way. The other benefits include a controller with exponential settings. You can start with a cheaper controller, but will find yourself eventually upgrading.

You have any more exact information on this yet? Im lookong for a gyro that will do slow return...but no steering assist..i just need the gyro to hold angle and not wobble at high gain...but i want to be able to counter steer...

[@RoadsideRC]

Not sure what exact information I left out...can you clarify? Depending on your definition of "steering assist", all gyros have this. It is part of the definition of what the gyro is doing. Many have settings where you either turn into the corner, or countersteer. But you will never be fully countersteering the car. From your comment, I am not clear that your expectation for a gyro is realistic or aligned with the technology. Happy to help more, but not 100% sure what you are really looking for.

[@m4rkyfresh]

@@RoadsideRC is there anything that will let the wheels return slow to center like it does on assist/acvs mode..but still retain the counter steer properties of normal mode? I know gyros add assist in general as their purpose...would be pretty brain dead to to think other wise.

[@RoadsideRC]

@m4rkyfresh Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes it is hard to get the exact nuance of a message through these short messages. To get the exact feel you are looking for - I would suggest considering the tuning of both the gyro AND the servo. A servo like the ReveD RS-ST can be tuned with anti-shake directly in the servo. This may allow you keep the gyro in a mode you like and change the dampening in that way. The other option is to step up to the Futaba GYD550 paired with a 7px or 10pxr. When paired together, you can basically make that gyro do whatever you want! But - that solution is pretty expensive if you factor in the radio.

[@m4rkyfresh]

@@RoadsideRC and my response was a little brass... apologies...I started a thread on super g Facebook page and the 550 absolutely is what I was gathering might be able to obtain those abilities..just yea...the price tag...and I really like my noble...I have a 24 scale and 43 scale that both drift the way im describing... believe it or not even with cheap servos.

[@yotaiji012]

Does placement and orientation matter? I saw somewhere to put it as low to ground as possible and in center.

[@RoadsideRC]

As long as you keep the gyro away from vibrations (motor and servo), you are fine. No need for it to be low and centered. It can go anywhere.

[@christophergran8313]

What the single signal wire do. If I plug it in gyro doesn’t respond but when I unplugged it works

[@RoadsideRC]

Single wire is what controls the gyro gain. After you plug it in, you need to set the endpoint on that channel to adjust the gyro gain.

[@winstonsmith8383]

Noob here been following your for a few weeks setting up my first build (tt02d), love your content and the topics you cover. Question: you mention at one point the hard/soft channel is connected to ch4 and then later in the vid you mention the gain is connected to ch3. Is that accurate? I have my gyro on ch3 and the default knob on the transmitter for ch3 is the VR1 knob . So it sounds like that is just for hard/soft mode, so if that’s the caseI’m not sure how to adjust the gain as ch4 on my receiver is empty. Any guidance? I’m sure I’m just confused lol thanks again for all your vids, helping me progress, really appreciate it.

[@RoadsideRC]

Hi there! A few notes: 1) I must have mis-spoke (it happens). There is nothing plugged into channel 4. Gain is set via channel 3. And yes, one of the modes can be switched by having channel 3 in positive or negative. The other setting is a physical switch on top of the gyro. 2) You mention a TT02D. Are you doing a RWD conversion on it? If not - you do not need to worry about a gyro at all. An AWD drift car does not need a gyro.

That can contribute to it for sure. My old RMX had a lot of slop in the rod ends. Reducing that slop helped with wobble for sure - but will not eliminate it.

A screen is not what you need. That is not the important part. What is important is a channel that you can control 0-100 in fine adjustments. The DumboRC radios *almost have this on channel 5 & 6.

You recommend this gyro for 4wd hpi sprint 2

[@RoadsideRC]

You do not need a gyro for a AWD car.

[@chrisandnicolepurcell683]

dose the gyro need to be in the center of the car

[@RoadsideRC]

It does not.

[@gabyg00gletv18]

Could this be used for drag racing?

[@RoadsideRC]

Perhaps - but it is specifically designed for drifting. Designed to help you stay sideways once you get there. You want something that is more meant to keep you straight.

@@RoadsideRC I know everyone around here use Futaba gyros but is like secret 😅 nobody say nothing about it

[@DixonYamadaaa]

can i use this with a 2ch radio?

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes, as you can set the gain directly on the gyro - however, I don't recommend it. The control you get with a better radio is 100% worth it.

is that a reve d servo ??

[@RoadsideRC]

I believe it was actually one of the PowerHD servos.

[@hondacivicacura]

@@RoadsideRC thanks. I’m just trying to get one that’s not to expensive , trying to avoid the gyro wobble

[@RoadsideRC]

@@hondacivicacura Gyro wobble is much more about the quality of the gyro than the servo - but does play a part.

Will the v4 burnout stock servo?

[@RoadsideRC]

There is a chance of that, yes.

[@kevinbarraza1423]

@@RoadsideRC I'm guessing that's what happened lol figured... I really didn't want the v4 but wanted to give it a go since the gyd450 is hard to come by now a days. I have an extra mst servo and the one u have from Amazon. Guess gonna have to go with a reved

[@pauldziedzic1791]

I know this an old comment but I put this gyro in my rmx rtr with the stock mst servo, it took the servo out before I could get it set up. Completely trashed and locked up. Just a heads up.

[@kevinbarraza1423]

@@pauldziedzic1791 yeah learned that the hard way.. on purpose.. wanted to defy the rumors.. but ended up being fact

[@demonslayer9772]

Is it possible to burn a stock servo by switching to a different receiver? I lost my stock servo that came with mst rmx 2.0 when I replaced the stock receiver with a Flysky FGr4v2 Receiver.

[@blazbohnec]

I just bought drift gyro DP-302v4, but I can not find anywhere the information about the input voltage for gyro. Can I use 7.4v from receiver with the Yokomo DP-302v4 gyro as power in?

[@RoadsideRC]

The gyro is 100% powered by the receiver when you plug it into it. You mention 7.4V - so I wanted to ask about that. The receiver gets the power from the ESC. The ESC typically provides 6V to the receiver (it steps down the voltage from the battery). Are you trying to run higher voltage?

[@blazbohnec]

@@RoadsideRC I mean you can set your BEC voltage on XR10 Pro or XD10 to 7.4v from default 6.0v. Thats why.

[@blazbohnec]

@@RoadsideRC Any idea? Because I can't find any info related to input voltage, altho 90% of other gyros have it listed under the specs.

[@RoadsideRC]

@@blazbohnec No need for the higher voltage in drifting. Leave the BEC alone and have fun!
