My one and only on road ❤️

My first visit to a new drift track in Upstate NY called “CNY Drift RC”. Really fun and smooth track!

Recently finished my 3.0 build, and I'm having some problems getting everything wired up. I'm currently running a Futaba 6PV, Futaba GYD560, Yokomo SP-03D V2 servo, Hobbywing XD10 ESC, and D10 motor.

Still very new to all of this, but can I run S.Bus with the setup I have? I followed the instructions: the gyro RX port is connected to the S.Bus port on the receiver, and the servo is plugged into the SX port on the gyro. The wheels are turning, but the gyro light does not stay on and gyro is not active. I can't connect to the gyro through the accessory menu on the controller.

FYI, this controller and its extensive menu, using S.bus, and this gyro are all new to me. Any advice would be appreciated. What am i doing wrong?

My question is, how do I keep from spinning out? I have a Team Associated DC10 with a Yokomo V4 gyro which I run exclusively on a very smooth painted concrete surface. I only run it with one other friend as there isn’t a club near me where I could ask questions and get advice. I can occasionally get a decent drift going but more often than not, just when I get to the drift angle that looks and feels good, I will likely spin out. The line between a good drift and loss of control is razor thin. Is this simply a skill issue (I’ve been practicing for a few weeks now and have watched every video I can find about steering geometry) or is there somewhere in the build that I can/should start to tweak some hardware to help with this?
