I'm a little noob at 3D so which one do you think would work best?

Here in Brasil is a little easier to find JR gyros, but I am still between the GY401 and the G500T.

I have used both. The G500T seems to be less forgiving of a badly tuned engine. Neither compare to the Futaba 601 or 611.

I used the G500T with a 8700G servo in a Hawk Sport and it was perfect.
I tried it in a 90 with a 9254, and it was suffering from vibration sensitivity.
I tried it in a t-rex and it was rather unusable, even with the Airtronics 94761 servo.

I tried the 401 with a 9650 on the same t-rex and it was perfect.

So if I were to pick between those two, I would buy a 401. But I would really buy a Futaba 611.

i fly a jr radio but for years and years only fly futaba servos and gyro's with my jr tx..... just easier setups with the futaba servos, better reliability...

They are quite good and easy to set up.

The 7000T is a good gyro. It's the only one I've had though that even comes close to Futaba's gyros.
