Thank you Beaver for the very useful tutorial. My gyro is on the way and now after watching your tutorial I am feeling safe to set it up right. Thank you Master🙏
You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend these days :)
for anyone who will wondering in the future.this apply to v4 also.the same step.only different is v4 led doesnt have any green instead a white blueish light.
@Daily Dose Of Cats Yes, you just need the gyro. It goes in between the ESC (2-in-1 unit) and servo. No need to connect the channel 3 (because there isn't VR channel on WLtoys original remote) and you can change the gyro gain on the dial. I have a quick video about this as well but it's on facebook. facebook.com/groups/722701112008085/permalink/730871761191020
excuse me, I want to ask. In your personal opinion, which one is better between the AFRC G3 gyro and the G1 power hd, and the reason, because I am confused to choose between the two gyros. Please answer
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.
This one is a bit below the Yokomo V4, it's good but not that good. The one that is comparable to V4 is PowerHD G1. I'm not sure if it's still available right now but I got it when it was about 49 and it is borderline cheating.
When it's on press the button twice and it will change between high and normal sensitivity mode. If you want to reset everything, hold the button and turn it on. Once it's in EPA setup hold the button again until it blinks.
how do you setup the gyro that comes with this kit. (tsracing gyx ev03) i cant find info anywhere for it. my kit came with a manual for a different gyro :-(
Mini Q9 is actually Mini-Q Q7 with some metal upgrades so it's a bit more durable. It's a good car and I'd say it's on par with the AMZ. It has more stability than AMZ because of active rear toe and wide chassis. But it's not as agile as AMZ. For drifting you can throw the car really easily at high speed. I have a drift build video here. ua-cam.com/video/kCjglUnXBQU/v-deo.html I also have another one in touring config but haven't done a full video for it yet.
Very useful, just followed the tutorial and have set the EPA. Thank you very much Master Beaver.🙏 Question: when I change for high sensitivity mode, then the LED changes for red. But after a short moment, it changes back to green again. What can it be? I did not connect channel 3.
Yes, if you don't plug in CH3 the green light will blink no matter the mode you are in. This is a bit confusing and you'll have to recognize the mode by how it drives.
If I limit the EPA of the steering on transmitter, for example from 100% to 80%, will the gyro be relatively adjusted too or it will keep its original endpoint?
Yes, the EPA on gyro will be the same on the transmitter after you set it. Essentially it will just copy the EPA or whatever you steer at the moment onto the gyro.
I'm in the EU and I got it from Banggood. Here's the link. bit.ly/2FVvIdy It depends on what shipping method you choose. I got the Priority Direct Mail which got it sent via PostNL and it didn't pass through the customs. If you can check the "Tariff insurance" box in the checkout then don't get it. It'll come via China Post or something straight out of China and you'll get a lot of tax. Try Hobbyking.com as well because they have EU stock. I'm not sure about the availability at this moment though.
Buenas e comprado esta version de autogiro y sigo los pasos del video pero al terminar la configuracion del autogiro cuando el rc va en linea recta la direccion se vuelve loca..e rotado el propio autogyro en su posicion y configurarlo d nuevo pero el problema permanece...nose si es fallo mio o del autogiro la electronica usada es hobbywing ezrum28 con su motor sensorado hobbywing y servo afrc programable
Right now there are the ones that work and the ones that don't. Try to get a mini gyro V3 like this AFRC GYS-2 V3. It's in the "it works" category and it's a good starting point. If you can still find the V3 at low prince then good, hopefully it's not been replaced by V4 which is much better but more expensive. If you want something a bit cheaper then look at the Onisiki, Slidelogy etc. They will be big but if you can manage the space inside the car well then they will fit and also work for RWD drifting. The price for a decent gyro is around $30-$40 so there's not much difference in the price but the performance. Try to get one with EPA function if you can.
@@david9778 I haven't got the GMR gyro module yet but from what I've heard it's quite decent and it can control the throttle too so it's a complete AVC system. Well, it's not entirely built-in because it needs the gyro module for GMR. There's another receiver with gyro but I'll have to check if it works with my firmware version (I still don't want to register to the website just to update). DasMikro V5 on the other hand is on the new firmware with new filter and steering curve. I use the GT55 V4 and it's way too good. So much so that I feel like it's on the verge of cheating. V5 is certainly better so if you can get it for a good price I don't see why not.
Wheel shake can come from many things like vibration, suspension wobble, wheels out of balance and rough floor so you will have to go through these things and check if any of them affect the gyro. Maybe you can try and run it somewhere else to see if there's anything different. Also these small car is pretty sensitive to gyro some can go only 50 and that will wobble like crazy.
@@user-kq7re6dr8y My pleasure. Best of luck with figuring it out. It can be quite tricky to eliminate all the shakes so don't expect it to be buttery smooth all the time.
@@johnserrano2218 The output frequency is from the radio. If you use something like Flysky Noble NB4 you can go to the menu can change it. Other radios can't do that. We change this according to the servo so if you use a digital servo it'll be running on 333Hz (mostly 333, some can do more) and 50Hz is for analog servo. This gyro works with all the frequency so I don't see why you need to change it though except your radio is conflict with the servo, in that case just change the servo to a digital one and it will be alright.
Can’t get mine to work, once I have in bind mode, I turn the wheel, click the button and it flashes green then orange , not sure why but wheels don’t act like gyro is working
Try and reset the gyro EPA setting then see if it works properly first. If you turn one side and it doesn't register properly you have to reset it. And try with another side first next time. Also if the steering EPA is already at 100, you do not need to set it on the gyro. Just set the gyro direction and that is enough.
@@BeaversHobby thanks Beaver, it seems like it’s stuck in EPA mode, I have a video id like to send to you to see if you’ve seen or experienced the same, I’m hoping it’s not a faulty gyro from factory , I went to reset the gyro completely and then back into EPA mode but it stays locked in EPA with no front wheel engagement
@@li_rc_guy7398 You can send the link to the video either here or on my facebook page. Basically to reset the EPA you can hold the button then turn it on. It'll go into the EPA setup. Then hold the button again without doing anything else until it blinks red+green (as far as remember) and it'll reset the EPA setting you have.
Have you tried changing the mode? Does it help? Anyway, check your steering linkages for slop because that can make the gyro acts a little crazy. Check for wheel balance and where you put the gyro too, it should be somewhere with the least vibration and interference.
@@BeaversHobby Some how the Channel 3 was maxed out to -100. I turned it to -40 and its working great! Also changed the mode and it helped. Thanks so much! Now just got to figure out why I cant get full steer to the left. I checked all linkages every inch doesnt visibly get hanged up on anything. Its a drz2...Manually when I turn it feels some tension near the end then releases to full lock but cant achieve that from the remote. Any recs?
@@oconorbailey7122 Try and plug the servo directly into the receiver first and set the EPA. See if you can get all the steering that way. You can also re-check the steering by setting the trim is at 0, at this point the servo horn should stay up right. If not, try to re-position the servo horn. Then you can adjust the linkage between servo and bell crank to make it go straight. And after that set the EPA to get max steering on both sides and finally install + setup the gyro.
If it's not turning much then you'll have to reset the EPA setting. The light blinking is a bit strange. Did you connect the single wire plug (CH3) to control the gain from the transmitter?
@@sixxxis If you don't connect the gain it will constantly blinking. That is normal. If the steering is less than without the gyro then you need to reset the gyro and run it without setting the EPA.

Yes, it does. You can follow my previous tutorial on how to use and don't have to plug the 1 wire plug in then use the dial on the gyro to adjust the gain.

@@BeaversHobby Thanks, I hope it arrives tomorrow, I saw from your unboxing that in the hgd1 kit there is no manual for the gyroscope and you can't find it on the net, do you have a way to recover it? Thanks
@@simau76 I can't find the manual either but it's easy to use. Just plug it in like this one and you don't have to set the EPA which is even simpler than the one in this video.
@@BeaversHobby Hi Beaver, as I told you the hgd1 arrived, I assembled it and everything went ok (by the way, now it comes without a box but in an envelope, really ridiculous for 150 euros, also now the front frame has some small horns for the magnetic brackets) but let's get to the problem :) I tried everything with the gain but there is no way to drive it, it turns on itself and the steering is shaking left and right as soon as I touch the accelerator, paradoxically much better drift with my wltoys, i thought it might be due to tires not suitable for my tile floor, could it be? Or am I wrong something? Next to the gain there are two switches with numbers and letters, do you know what they are? Thank you for your patience!!
Plug the 3 wire of the gyro (from 4 wire cord) into the 2-in-1 and plug the servo into the gyro and it should work. You can adjust the gain with the dial on the gyro.
I'm afraid there is a problem on the servo ... if I try to set the end point to the right it works only if I don't do it completely, the end point to the left does not give problems. At the end of the setting, I am left with the flashing green LED but if I turn all the way to the right it starts flashing red as if it detects a problem on the right end point. I don't know if I made myself understood...thanks
I didn't know the AFRC V4 came out so thanks for the heads up. I'll try to get it but this will take some time. Right now, just go for GT55 V4, it's the best I've tried.
Yes, it is compatible. However you might need to convert the plug because some of the new version come with JST-SH plug and the plug is smaller than the gyro.
@@BeaversHobby thank you so much, i have just installed it and i am unable to turn all the way to the right but i am able to turn all the way to the right. why is that?
@@kostazografos8878 There might be a setting (PWM range) conflict between the output and the gyro. Try and reset the gyro setting to see if you can turn all the way. As far as I've tried you can't set the EPA with stock electronics otherwise some weird things will happen like unable to turn or the steering get stuck.
@@BeaversHobby i thing it is faulty servo ive try to plug it to rx directly and making the same thing by pressing two times on the gyro will enable the purple and pressing two times again bring it back to red light but i think without a servo or faulty servo it is not possible to adjust the gain
If you use the micro plug( white plug) it can only go in one way and you can't do reverse polarity with the provided plug. In the package you will have plug with 4 pins on one side and that goes to 3-wire plug and 1-wire plug. The 3-wire goes into the channel 1 on the receiver. The 1-wire goes into the channel 3 on the receiver or any other channel that you can set it to VR (variable rate/knob). Then you plug your servo into the gyro on the port with 3 pin.
Thank you Beaver for the very useful tutorial.

but why is my servo making noise and mooving really slow
Thanks for the tutorial. Aside from the end point function, do you find it performs better for deifting than the V2?
Yes, it's better. The normal mode is the same but the hi-sensitivity mode is a great improvement over the V2.

I got this servo for my k969 but when setting end points is not accepting turning right so when the light goes green I can't turn right. Any advice?
If it doesn't register the end point then you don't have to set it. Leave it default and it'll work.
I'll try it again later.
Hi Beaver do you know with this gyro what's the difference is between high sensitivity mode and normal mode? Thanks.
High sensitivity reacts faster than normal mode. Some servo might not like it very much and you'll have excessive wheel shake.
hi beaver..how do you set it back to the normal setup (Green light)? thank you

@@BMR3 Oh, that's the thing with the code. It can't go on top of the promotion. Thanks for letting me know.
If you use the link, it'll go into my commission. Thank you very much.
Is this the same as the AGF GY04M v3 gyro?
Yes, it is.
Hi Beaver, is this the same as found in the hgd1? I'm waiting for it to come, and I think I'll ask you for help😅
This is the newer version than in the HGD1. That one will doesn't have EPA. Don't worry, it'll work just fine. HGD1 has equal steering already.
@@BeaversHobby Thanks, I hope it arrives tomorrow, I saw from your unboxing that in the hgd1 kit there is no manual for the gyroscope and you can't find it on the net, do you have a way to recover it? Thanks
@@simau76 I can't find the manual either but it's easy to use. Just plug it in like this one and you don't have to set the EPA which is even simpler than the one in this video.
@@BeaversHobby ok thanks!
@@BeaversHobby Hi Beaver, as I told you the hgd1 arrived, I assembled it and everything went ok (by the way, now it comes without a box but in an envelope, really ridiculous for 150 euros, also now the front frame has some small horns for the magnetic brackets) but let's get to the problem :) I tried everything with the gain but there is no way to drive it, it turns on itself and the steering is shaking left and right as soon as I touch the accelerator, paradoxically much better drift with my wltoys, i thought it might be due to tires not suitable for my tile floor, could it be? Or am I wrong something? Next to the gain there are two switches with numbers and letters, do you know what they are? Thank you for your patience!!
Is it better to have gyro in the back?
No, not really. It's best to mount it anywhere that has the lest vibration and least electrical noise.
@@BeaversHobby o good to know, didn’t know noise played a factor
Hi, I bought this gyro but it doesn't seem to work with the k969 supplied receiver ... is this normal? Can you help me please?
Plug the 3 wire of the gyro (from 4 wire cord) into the 2-in-1 and plug the servo into the gyro and it should work. You can adjust the gain with the dial on the gyro.
@@BeaversHobby Yes I did, but the direction of the connector was wrong !!! Thanks for giving me the confidence that it had to work !!!
@@CiroZeno Does it work now?
@@BeaversHobbyYes but I have a problem when I set the right end point...It blink red if I rotate all to right...why in your opinion?
I'm afraid there is a problem on the servo ... if I try to set the end point to the right it works only if I don't do it completely, the end point to the left does not give problems. At the end of the setting, I am left with the flashing green LED but if I turn all the way to the right it starts flashing red as if it detects a problem on the right end point. I don't know if I made myself understood...thanks
Compare GT55racing V4 and AFRC V4 pls
I didn't know the AFRC V4 came out so thanks for the heads up. I'll try to get it but this will take some time.
Right now, just go for GT55 V4, it's the best I've tried.
@@BeaversHobby Thank you
is this compatible with the wltoys k989?
Yes, it is compatible. However you might need to convert the plug because some of the new version come with JST-SH plug and the plug is smaller than the gyro.
@@BeaversHobby thank you so much, i have just installed it and i am unable to turn all the way to the right but i am able to turn all the way to the right. why is that?
@@kostazografos8878 There might be a setting (PWM range) conflict between the output and the gyro. Try and reset the gyro setting to see if you can turn all the way. As far as I've tried you can't set the EPA with stock electronics otherwise some weird things will happen like unable to turn or the steering get stuck.
okay sounds good thank you so much!!!!
@@kostazografos8878 My pleasure.
How do you reverse the gyro ?
Skip to 2:02 to see how to reverse the direction.
@@BeaversHobby oh thanks must have missed that
หาซื้อได้ที่ไหนครับอาจารย์
ผมได้มาจาก Banggood น่ะครับ bit.ly/2XD0Xms เท่าที่เห็นสั่งจากไทยเก็บเงินปลายทางได้ด้วย
@@BeaversHobby ขอบคุณครับผม
@@user-hk1mt5lp1r ยินดีครับ
mine make a purple light
Does the servo work outside of the gyro? You should try and reset it, check the manual.
@@BeaversHobby i thing it is faulty servo ive try to plug it to rx directly and making the same thing by pressing two times on the gyro will enable the purple and pressing two times again bring it back to red light but i think without a servo or faulty servo it is not possible to adjust the gain
@@tabarnakdecris6917 Without the servo you won't see the effect anyway. Do you have any other servo to try?
is someone can show how freaking wire this damn thing???
If you use the micro plug( white plug) it can only go in one way and you can't do reverse polarity with the provided plug.
In the package you will have plug with 4 pins on one side and that goes to 3-wire plug and 1-wire plug.
The 3-wire goes into the channel 1 on the receiver.
The 1-wire goes into the channel 3 on the receiver or any other channel that you can set it to VR (variable rate/knob).
Then you plug your servo into the gyro on the port with 3 pin.
🫡ok nice thank you this help me alot
Any difference.between this and gy04m v3
The same.
