WARNING
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to
yourself and others.
Check that there is sufficient battery capacity.
Do not operate the model and transmitter steering wheel
for about 3-5 seconds after turning on the GYC470 (When
shared with the receiver).
• The GYC470 is activated when the power is turned on. The neutral position is also
read at the same time. If initialization is successful, you will see the servo move left
and right slightly.
Always check the direction of operation of the gyro.
Do not strike the gyro with a hard object. Do not drop it onto
a concrete surface or other hard floor.
• The sensor may become damaged during strong impacts.
Do not use trims or mixing.
• All corrections are made by the gyro. Therefore, if trimming and mixing are turned on,
operation will be the same as driving from the neutral position.
Do not use the GYC470 for applications other than RC cars.
•This gyro is designed for RC cars only. Do not use it for other applications.
Analog servos cannot be used.
•The use of analog servos may cause servo damage.
Do not place gyro near heating equipment (engine, motor,
ESC, battery, servo, etc.).
• Always allow the gyro to adjust to the outside temeprature before driving. A large tem-
perature change during use will cause drift and other operational issues.

a safe place.
● Dedicated RC Drift car settingBoosts vehicle straightness and cornering ability, regardless of surface type.
● Remote gain function and mode switching functionYou can adjust gain from the transmitter (3 or more CH) by using the
remote gain function. Gain can also be adjusted with the trimmer on the
GYC470. The mode switching function allows AVCS/NORMAL gyro mode
switching.
● Integrated, compact, and lightweightHigh density mounting technology makes the GYC470 compact (20.7 x
20.7 x 11 mm) and lightweight (3.7 g).
● Easy setupThe GYC470 can be used immediately with minimal setup.
● S.BUS/S.BUS2 supportOnly one wire-receiver connection is needed to operate the GYC470 with
S.BUS/S.BUS2.

GYC470
Thank you for purchasing the
GYC470 RC car gyro. Compact
and lightweight, the GYC470 is
designed to control steering in your
RC car. If the transmitter has 3 or
more channels (capable of 3CH
adjustment), gyro sensitivity can
be adjusted from the transmitter.
Features include simple set-up and
S.BUS/S.BUS2 connectivity. S.BUS/S.BUS2 portGYC470GYC470S.BUS ReceiverSteering servoSteering servoSteering CH1Gyro gain CH3ReceiverGyro gain CH(Receiver)←connect→Port2(GYC470)Remote gain effective.

Ad-just the linkage rod so that the trim amount is as small as possible.When using S.BUS servo, initialize a parameter.Make the servo operating range as wide as possible. Equalize EPA (ATV) left and right. It is possible when using the S.BUS setting compatible transmitter to change the servo to "SR Mode" and improve the servo response. If the servo can't be changed to SR mode, do not set the TX to SR mode. 1M23N38404Monitor LED display
