Mini Gyro Module RC Car Gyro Stabilizer Automatic Stability Control Gyro Sensitivity Adjustable for RC Crawlers Cars and Boats

I put this module on my HBX 903 with brushless upgrade. After carefully reading comments and watching review videos from "paradug" and "Durain", I found the most important part to be the initial setup off the car. Using "paradug" video, I took a 7.4 Volt battery, spare servo, and ESC/Receiver, and matched Transmitter. I connected all and turned on the Transmitter. When all was coupled and the module LED was steady, I slowly moved the module horizontally 1/8th inch back and forth. I watched the servo arm move. It was jittery (too sensitive). I turned off all the power. I took the small cross point screwdriver provided with the module an rotated the gain-potentiometer button clockwise 1/16 inch. I connected all and turned on the Transmitter. It was still jittery (too sensitive). I turned off all the power. I took the small cross point screwdriver provided with the module an rotated the gain-potentiometer button again clockwise 1/16 inch. The servo arm was now very steady and responded to the module movement correctly. I installed the module on the RC car as per the Instructions and went to run the car with the body shell removed. First two runs, the car zig zagged, It (module) was still jittery (too sensitive). I turned off all the power. I took the small cross point screwdriver provided with the module an rotated the gain-potentiometer button clockwise 1/16 inch two added times. That fixed it. The car ran straight as an arrow. I could see the module making small corrections to maintain straight track. So..patience in the setup is required. I ordered five more of modules for my cars.

Sigh… Im just getting into mini drifting and understanding gyros. You get what you pay for. I installed this and after researching, I realized in order to get a good gain with no twitch, I would have to turn it down so low that it doesn’t even do what it supposed to. The twitching gets so bad, the wheels rapidly change direction when going straight causing crashes and even burned out my servo. I might test it in my 1/10 buggy and see how that works, but if it does the same I will return it. Better to spend a few extra bucks and get a good drifting gyro. I dont recommend this one for drifting.

For as cheap as it is it actually works really well.

It works, but it was all but impossible to reliably stick a tiny Phillips head screwdriver in the hole and know whether I'm turning it or not and adjusting upwards or down the effect of the gyro on the steering. I would much recommend paying up a bit and getting a Transmitter and receiver with built in gyro, which can be controlled from the transmitter. So ease abuse was not that good and quality was fair only due to minuscule adjustment arrangement. Value for money is probably pretty good and appearance was fine.

I put this gyro on a kraken vesla.5 buggy. It is a 35 lb land middle rc car. It is a 2wd buggy that runs 8s power. The car would always spin out due to brutal power of the motor. The gyro fixed that right away. Easy to adjust and seems to hold adjustment really well. Comes with mini screwdriver to adjust and mounting tape too. I don't think it would work on a competitive drift car, but for off road and su h it is great. I will try it on a drift car and report back. It is a good gyro for the money and works great. Keep in mind the adjustment is backwards from typical adjustment su adding more response to gyro is turning adjustment to left. Once you know that your good. Enjoy.

Great gyro

Delivered broken .....oh joy

There is no feedback on the adjustment screw so unless you mark the original position it's difficult to make fine adjustments. The plastic of the adjustment screw is so soft it began to deform and shortly after adjustments stopped working entirely.
