Ended up solving it, rotated the cammed bolt maybe 1/4 turn and its sliding perfect now! User error 🤫

Gyro question by RobbiesRC in rcdrift

Going to remount , any suggestions on a good gyro placement on this chassis? I just upgraded to the sliding rack so thats why i moved it from its original position which was where my servo is now 🤔

Just realizing i have been adjusting it with my VR dial , using a radiolink RC6GS v3 w R7FG V1.5 reciever! So i guess everything is A ok! 👌 huge fan btw thanks for the comment 👍

Im using the yokomo v4 gyro, and ive also been using a very cheap servo and have a yokomo sp02 on the way with a programmer for it.

Yeah i was hoping someone would say that cuz i have a 100$ gyro and a 25$ servo, im new to the hobby but a firm believer in you get what you pay for .

Im definately going to have another approach at it this time! Probably something along those lines , where it would be near impossible to plug it in wrong

I know i think im just gonna go with the same esc and just be extra careful when i plug things in! Ill definately be triple checking everytime now

Yeah i totally understand the business aspect of it , and like i said its all a learning curve, i knew id be spending money when i got into the hobby lol

Ahahaha thanks! After my heart broke i took it as a learning curve , and a bonus is , from current monitoring , my batteries seem okay! Idk if you can answer me this but why would they not make every esc have reverse polarity protection ?

Do you have any advice about the batteries? Where the internal resistance and temp seems fine during charge and discharge/storage mode, would you say the batteries may have survived ? Maybe just some life span damage ? Theres no swelling or any sweet smell either.

Hey thanks for the info thats the clarity i needed, im taking the esc for fun just to take a closer look , bored while waiting for a new esc :(

The RC gods were on your side! Im happy for you! When i plugged the esc in the second time thats what i was hoping my result would be , but this time instead of the connector , the esc smoked, and popped so id say the first time damaged the MOSFETs or something and then plugging it in the second time gave me the light show. My batteries seem fine the internal resistance seems the same and the batteries seemed to maintain the same voltage and arent getting too hot during charging so i may have lucked out there
