Wondering what gyro to run in your RC drift car? The Yokomo DP-302 V4 is the most popular by a wide margin, ahead of the Reve D Revox and the Futaba GYD550. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App since January 2024: 167 racers named a gyro, all on 1/10 rear-wheel-drive drift cars.
The percentage under each gyro is the share of racers who run it. Counts updated November 2026.

Third, on cars from the Yokomo YD-2 to the Reve D RDX and the Overdose Galm. Futaba has since added the GYD560, which a couple of racers already run. The button goes to the GYD550 at RC Car Shop in the UK.

We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/10 drift cars. A racer counts once per gyro no matter how many setups they've saved, and a value only counts if the racer entered it themselves, not if it came along with a copied setup or the kit setup. Racers often write a gyro's name a few different ways, like "V4" or "DP-302", so those count together.
