- The SkyRC GC301 Gyro will give you so much more control of you Vehicle! Drifting made easy! It works just like the Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), but you can add it to any hobby grade RC!
*The TSM in the Thumbnail stands for 'Tomley Stability Management' 🤔

I've been looking for information on this and after going through 15 different videos whereupon they wasted my freaking life they were that bad no info just dumb… I finally found this video thank you so much for showing everything we needed to see. You showed off the Gyro what I expected it to do but thanks for showing I think I'm going to get one
Just got back to the Rc hobby while being quarantined due to c infection (think omikron).
Just had a SC truck stored around for couple of years gathering dust, so now I was asking myself if this thing could drift. Order now such gyro module and can’t wait to install it and take it outside when my health allows it.
Great video, thanks!
Very interesting with the gyroscope, it should help a lot when driving, thanks for sharing 👍
Great test and demonstration! Thumbs up for Tomley’s Stability Management 😄 One can’t really be too careful when it comes to one certain brand.
I'm waiting for Traxxas to get in contact and tell me 'TSM' is there Trademark haha
Tomley RC Garage Yeah, one never knows. They are quite aggressive.
I have this gyroscope ordered it off of banggood with a racerstar 80a esc and 3660 brushless motor, on dirt, gravel or pavement it keeps my traxxas 4x4 stable at high speeds. This is defently a good product
Great video buddy.
Looks sweet
Impressive! Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to make & post this video!
I'm currently looking at getting this little gyro. I have a traxxas rustler 2wd. Now that I'm doing 40mph+ on the car, it's getting a bit harder to control. And I have a brushless system coming in that will make things even harder to control lol. I hope this is compatible with the stock 3 channel TQ receiver.
No worries, it 'Should' be compatible
Very informative. I think a Gyro would really help me out. Thanks Tomley. ... 👍
Thanks for the upload.
No problem dude
I had an extra gyro that I used in my race car. It didn’t allow for separate aileron controls and because I prefer flaperons, the gyro is useless to me for airplanes, but not for my car. Incredible to see how much of a difference it can make!
Que mal pedo!
A gyro depends upon the Servo you use also. If the servo you use is slow or is a low torque servo your gyro wouldn't be able to hold the position of your car as well. If it's slow it would not correct the problem quickly enough and if it isn't strong enough it would not have any holding power. This would cause your gyro to work much harder sending correction signals to your servo and it would over work your servo also. So not having a good enough servo would affect the performance of your gyro and also shorten it's life and that of the servo.
I had an experience I had a Yokomo Dp-302 V4 gyro and a Traxxsas 2255 servo Torque-400 oz/in and speed 0.15s to go 60deg. This worked so good it held my Rustler Ruler straight. Then I upgraded my radio to a Futaba 4PV and Futaba strongly suggested to link it only with Futaba servos and I also got a Futaba gyro to keep it within the Futaba Family. So I got a Futaba s 3071HV servo Torque-146oz/in and speed 0.19s to 60deg and a Futaba gyc441 gryo. The performance in holding my car straight wasn't anywhere as good. Not because of the gyro but because of the servo. I got the top end Traxxsas servo and it speed and torque were much better. A point is that to get really great performance from top companies you have to spend a lot more. That being said if you go with their higher end servos they are really good but you have to pay $ 120 plus.
Can you use the gyc441 with other brand servos though?
@@Openthrottlerc I'm not really sure. I know that generally Futaba usually strongly recommends that if you have a Futaba radio and receiver that you use a Futaba Servo and gyro. If I'm not mistaken though I heard Raz Shiffrin say that he uses the gyc441 and I saw him using a non Futaba servo, so I believe so if memory serves me right.
@@Tejaye777 ok i was thinking of running a protek 100t high torque servo which is equal to one of futabas high torque servos but half the price
@@Openthrottlerc I believe it should work but don't hold me to it.
@@Tejaye777 i was told by shop owner of DRG Customs in Fort Worth Texas that it works. He was actually going to set it up himself but our job finished early and we left texas today. I have read that they work smoother with futaba servos which totally makes sense but i hear that more from the drift community. Im doing it for drag racing only..
Nice dude great video. Nice slow mo
Thanks Brad...I do like a good slow mo!
Nice vid 👍
Awsome video!!
Thank you
Great gadget I need to get one or two!
Makes a big difference to your driving!
Thank you bro
I've been using these for a while, they are a god send in some vehicles, especially as you up the power and want to drive on dirt etc.
They can literally transform a vehicle from undriveable to a pleasant basher.
One I can think of in particular is my 1st gen short wheelbase E-Maxx. Upgraded it to brushless and it really struggled to stay straight with all the extra power.
And I found the bigger transfer of force when you came off the throttle made it twitchy and unstable too, especially with the short wheelbase. If you gave it a full speed blast and then braked or even just coasted it could get easily upset or veer to one side because the back end was wanting to overtake the front. It got quite annoying when even going in a straight line become hair raising.
Adding a gyro meant all the little inputs that were previously necessary to stop it flipping over were no longer necessary and you could concentrate purely on driving it. There's now a much greater feeling of stability and being in control where before the thing just felt overpowered.
I will certainly be getting one or 2 more for my stuff :)
This gyro, I believe, burned up the 7kg stock servo on a brand new Arrma Granite brushless. I was testing it in my rear patio area, around a table and some chairs, and then it wouldn't steer. There was an odor of sweet molasses where the servo sits. Opening the servo verified the fire damage. I have since upgraded to a 20KG and willing to try again if enough people concur with me that the original 7kg was too weak and caused the failure, and upgrading to a 20KG would be the solution. I would hate to waste another servo.
Not sure dude. I've had the Gyro in all sorts and not hand an issue. Was it all connected properly?
Cool! :)
Cheers Michael
can you make a wire mapping with the Gyro sensor in pls?
If I run HV setup will it work. Can I run 6v even? I need gyro for hpi Savage x
I’ve got 3 of these I bought when I found them for $8 each on eBay, now most my rc’s have tsm or avc I’ve got them sitting in my extra parts bin
Bargain! You Traxxas fans have no need for the, maybe you should send them to me 😮
could you send a link to them where they any good
So I put a Traxxas tsm receiver with tqi controller in my Cen Reeper but isn't working. But I didn't position it central like you did. Is that the problem?
Wow what a difference that makes am definitely going to get one for my FTX OUTLAW 😁 thanks for sharing and a fantastic video my friend 🤘😁😊👍
Tonys Rc Tech hey brotha good to see u, I’ve got 3 of these type of gyros n got them for $8, I see u want one for ur ftx n I went n copied the link for u of where I got mine off eBay for that price it’s the GYC300 idk if it will put me in spam but my next comment I’ll put the link
Tonys Rc Tech here’s the link to the $8 gyro www.ebay.com/itm/GYC300-Mini-Plastic-4-8V-6V-Gyro-Module-7g-Designed-fr-RC-car-Boat-X2L8/132777229617?epid=2016168372&hash=item1eea23bd31:g:4t4AAOSwj~9bl736
Tonys Rc Tech ok I left u the link, if it puts the comment in spam just look on eBay for gyros GYC300
Link approved Stevo. I think I mentioned to you in a early video Tony that you will do well with one on that loose dirt you run on. You'll not be disappointed. 👍
Thanks Stevo sorry for the late reply mate, I have 1000s emails lol, 😂 going to buy one mate thanks brother 👍😁👍
I know this is a very old video but I have the k989 1/28 scale drift car I have that same gyro and I turned the controller on I turned the receiver on get the rapid Flash and then it goes solid red but steering does not even work I was wondering if you could just please take a minute and I don't know tell me that it's just messed up or something wrong I don't know I tried it very spots in a little car just doesn't work thank you
where was that filmed?
Hello, want to ask, if you gain the gyro, then run the car, is it gonna change the turning radius become wider ?
On the other , if gyro OFF, the turning radius become normal again
This would be all down to the speed your trying to go, if your going too fast it would push the front end wide as it can’t turn at the higher speeds, gyro or not. With the gyro it would be the control of the drifts will be easier at the slower speeds you need for the tighter corners, where the power overcomes what your trying to do causing a spin.
will this work with a cheap rtr radio? or do you need a better radio? thax
No you wouldn't need a better radio :)
Tomley, does that rig have Lipo protection? I showed my sand rail by the same company recently in the RCSparks facebook/group and it doesn't have protection. Wrecked a nice 2000mah batt that way. BTW< I use Spektrums' version of traction control with which you can switch off the steering control & only use throttle control for stability. Much better combination if you're racing. Never try to use steering control at a track - it'll throw your rig off on every turn.
Yeah has Lipo cut off on it 👍I can imagine it's not as good as a skilled driver on a track...good fun for bashing though 🙂
Stability is great for bashing, I agree. But I didn't know it was possible to buy a geo unit seperately so thanks for that info. I wonder if there's one that provides throttle control exclusively...
I've not looked, but traction control sounds interesting! Would be good in the wet!
traxxas tsm only works if your not steering so it should be fine for racing u come out of turns faster, altho tsm is really only ment for if u drive your car out of range
i havent tried sprektrum but im looking into getting one of there entry level remotes.
Is it waterproof?
Hey buddy I ordered that gyro from banggood.com and I just wanted to make sure that that is a safe site and also was wondering how long did it take you to get yours I ordered and paid for expedited shipping. And great video by the way you sold me on it
Hi, Banggood is definitely safe, I've never had an issue. I'd say give it a couple of weeks. If you paid for the ex shipping then I'd say it won't be to long. It's a good bit of kit! Thanks for watching. 👍
@@TomleyRC hey bro I just got my gyro but when I installed it the gyro worked but I have no throttle. what do you think the problem is.
i would say if a car was setup with this gyro racing against same cars without it would win racing on a dirt coarse everytime as long as all drivers had equal skills...i am sure some drivers have been racing without gyros for a long time and they would do well against a gyro fitted car... thanks
Is it possible on a esc receiver combo and 5 wire servo? Thanks mate! Nice demonstration.
No I don't think so
Would this gyro work on a baja 5b?
Can't see why not. It should work with any steering servo
is this only for cars without a good differential?
No...for all cars
What transmitter are you using?
Just a cheap HobbyKing one
Damn that slow mo
1080p 240fps.... looks even better on the Raw file...this is compressed MP4
Tomley RC Garage damn
Tomley RC Garage slow mo drifts r life
Did u see my post on 1/16 crawler group yet?
That engine sounds Awesome!
Are they compatible with arrma transmitters
It just piggy backs off the receiver, so should be fine
i have the same gyro, i install it on my rwd drift car, it worked perfectly, but when i transfered it to my 2wd slash it stopped working. can somebody help me out?
Is it all connected ok? Maybe the Traxxas receiver won't talk to it?
Joe Cuenca, do you recommend it for RWD drift car, or now, that you had it you would go for something else?
What if you are driving on a slope?
Don't know.... I guess it depends how steep the slope was!
Sounds good but in fact I are absolutely no difference, maybe because of moving camera...
Makes a massive difference.... 😎
