Looking at getting a gyro for my Senton.

Silly question. Will it work out the box with the Spektrum receiver and transmitter or do I have to swap it to my Futaba transmitter and receiver? I would rather not as it's all in my race buggy (for now. I can get another receiver if needed).

Cheers!

I wasn't able to get the GC401 to work with my 7PXR which is why I wound up getting the GYC-441.

But yeah, generally speaking, transmitters and receivers from different manufacturers are not compatible amongst each other. There are some very specific exceptions to this rule such as Graupner receivers that have been made to work with Futaba transmitters.

Ah cheers. I thought that might be the case or it was some weirdness like some non hobbywing esc’s that can use the hobbywing program boxes. Im only familiar with Futaba and Sanwa.

Will give it a crack with the stock box and if no luck with pull out the futaba from my buggy and give that a try. If all fails its back to the LHS to spend MORE money 🤣🤣🤣

Unmounted the receiver.
Dremel'd the screw pillar a little so the gyro can be as centred as possible and flat.
Mounted the servo 90 degrees to what it was before so can still have access to both.
