Another great review. Some awesome driving dude!!! Maybe you should have a race against the previous version to see how they compare?
thanks mate. appreciated.
ultimately the better driver would win.😅
But the new car with same driver achieves better lap times.
Great video

Yay! Nice
Thanks
nice video.. can you post a link of which tire are you using? i also got a GL 19 in the front but your tire looks like much thicker
Thanks for watching. Tires were new at the time of the video.
Here’s the link.

Great review, thanks! Do you know if the Marka 350 or PN 360 Lipo packs will fit? These are slightly larger than GL-racing's packs, and we've found will not fit every car. (we also believe them to be somewhat better than the GL packs. Lower, better matched and more consistent internal resistance over time)
Thanks for your support. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Unfortunately we don’t have any experience with the Marka or PN lipos.
But I can tell you the GL Racing lipo is a very snug fit. So if they’re slightly larger than those you may have trouble.
Nice video sir! I’m a fan from hk.
Do you recommended this for beginners? I have no idea what electronic should I get. How much HKD should I expect to assemble the whole car? (Included all electronics and transmitter) thank you!
Thanks for watching.
I would recommend this to beginners yes. But you may need help with assembly and set up initially.
I suggest you can simply stay with the GL racing electronics as they’ve been good to me. So kit, servo, motor, esc, body and wheels should work out just under $4000HK. You will still need a receiver compatible to whatever transmitter you’re using.
This is not including any option parts that you may wish to add later.
All should be available through the usual HK dealers.
Hope to see you on the tracks soon 👍🏼
Just want to say that the kyosho mini z cars are plenty fast for a beginner as I see many people struggling to control them so these cars are for a more advanced group of people
Don’t take that little cheeky joke too seriously 😉😂!
But yes. As a beginner that’s where I started .
i am looking at buidling one. Noticed the option upgrade for steering hub with 3 options, 1* 2* and 3* and have no clue what do they do. Can you provide some advise on these?
I think this refers to the camber on the option hubs.
The stock plastic one is 0.
My friend who set up my car recommended leaving it at 0 or max 1.
See how stock set up works for you before adding options. That way you can modify and set up to suit your own driving style .
Thanks for watching .
Hey, I got GL racing GTR and Porsche gt body too. I have been having hard time find rims and tires for this one. What rim sizes and tires did you get? Could you give me the links?
Hi. Thanks for watching . My existing set up is GL Racing wheels. Both 0 offset front and rear. Narrow front, wide rear .
Gl racing 8.5mm 19° slicks front
Marka 10° rear.
All are available on the GL racing website .

Great video!
I unfortunately have the same issue with this GL that I do with all the previous ones. If I’m buying a race car kit I don’t want to have to buy all sorts of upgrades right out of the box… a brass bottom plate is basically essential to be competitive so why do you have to buy it separately? I understand optional springs and things but…
Thanks for watching. Appreciate your support.
I guess each manufacturer will have their own business model to generate income.
I hear you bro.
@@rcexpatshk agreed! And there’s nothing wrong with that model to be completely honest!
For me I just don’t have a local hobby shop and I never want to guess when ordering things! One wrong choice means waiting 4 weeks for more fun!
@@KingLoggFrogg waiting for deliveries sucks. And I have so many spare parts I’ve ordered wrong lying around too 😅
To be honest, if you look at most of the kits from most of the manufacturers, the "standard" included chassis is a CF chassis. Also, a brass chassis is not, necessarily, "essential to be competitive"...it depends entirely on the class you are driving in. Different classes require different chassis. For some, brass is best. For others, carbon fiber is best. And, for others, aluminum is best. Speaking of brass chassis, brass is NOT always the best material to use, as it is a soft metal. For any manufacturer offering a SS chassis option, that will almost always be better than brass, as it has the weight of a brass chassis, combined with the hardness of an aluminum chassis.
The great thing about many competition 1/10 kits is that they tend to be available with a choice of CF or aluminum chassis. It would be fantastic to see the 1/28 manufacturers start offering the same. If anyone representing, or having any connection to, any of the 1/28 manufacturers is reading this, consider this a *hint* to "upping your game". I won't "call out" any specific manufacturers...but, as certain manufacturers in the 1/10 area have discovered, when companies stop offering the 'choice', consumers tend to not only switch to using another company's products, but they also tend to "help" others by 'suggesting' they avoid products from the now-starting-to-be-shunned company (those who race 1/10...especially 1/10 buggy...will know what company I am referring to).
@@ninthislandrc thank you for that advice. I will forward your advice to GL racing. Thanks for watching 👍🏼🙏🏻
i gotta ask,between the kyosho mini z awd and the gl racing gtr,which one is better?also can these be found in hong kong?if so where?
The GL Racing GTR is a much more professional racing platform. Allowing much more options for set up etc. But alas it will cost much more than the mini z platform.
However you can buy directly from the GLRacing website. Alternatively HRC arena, action hobby and RC mart also carry some if not all.
Have fun and thanks for watching
hi there. I'm running the GTR as well. I just noticed the motor runs very hot to the touch after a few minutes. Is this normal with the GL 3500kv. I have checked almost everything. The data bluetooth reads temperature at 39degress. Any suggestions?
Is 39° too hot ?? Doesn’t seem too bad .
I’m not sure as I’m used to running 1:5 scale at much much higher temps than that .
I’d say just double check your spur and pinion mesh and make sure it’s not too tight.
Other than that also make sure the rear of the motor is clean and not covered in debris and dust. I don’t have any issues with my motor and it’s still running fine till this day.
Sorry if not much help .
Show building the car...
Don't know if you, or anyone else in your club, has any hands-on experience with the GL Racing GLR-GT (GL's most recent kit before releasing the GL-GTR)...but, I am curious about a comparison between these two. As with you, I am "getting tired" of the MR-03 EVO (one of my current two 'Stock' Class chassis...the other is the Reflex Racing RX28SE). Essentially, the EVO is my "Porsche Cup" Class chassis for RC Tech's "Mini96 World Challenge" group, but also my 'backup' for the "Stock" Class locally. Until watching this video, my plan was to replace the EVO with the GLR-GT...albeit, using the RX505 Triple Mount Conversion from Reflex Racing.
The great thing about the GLR-GT (in comparison to GL's older chassis) was the completely updated front end. It offers huge improvements in handling over the older designs. From what I can tell, the GL-GTR appears to incorporate an almost identical front end as the GLR-GT, with some slight parts differences. Unfortunately, the GLR-GT has a serious problem, in the form of the tri-damper system...thus the reason for replacing it with Reflex's RX505. And then, many months later, GL releases this GL-GTR...which, in many ways, looks like it has a front end almost identical to the front end of the GLR-GT, but with a more traditional (and race-proven) tri-damper layout. And, it is because of this that I ask my question:
If you and/or anyone else in your club has hands-on experience with the GL-GTR and GLR-GT (even more so if the GLR-GT has the Reflex RX505 upgrade), how do they handle when compared against each other? While "how fast are they against each other" is important, I am (slightly) more interested in how they handle against each other.
I do have the glr gt also. It was shown at the start of this video.
My own personal experience is that the gtr handles the turns much better and can turn much tighter at speed.
If less turns on the track then the gt may have the advantage. But running on a tighter track with many turns the gtr would be the better platform.
I still run both but reflex racing isn’t popular in Hong Kong so nobody I know will have any knowledge of experience with those parts.
@@rcexpatshk Cool beans (that's "thank you" in my speak...lol). Re-watching, I did realize that the GLR-GT was in the video (the third one)...but, I also see it still had the stock tri-damper layout (as opposed to the Reflex RX505 conversion). But, that's ok...based on this video, and some others I've since come across, it looks like the GL-GTR is the better/smarter choice. Guess it's time to delete everything I collected on the GLR-GT, and time to start my parts researching all over again (for the GL-GTR). 🤙
No probs. Happy shopping .. again …
I am new to the minis, and want to purchase the Atomic SZ2 but the assembly is a little too much for me. Can that be purchased assembled and I do the electronics myself? Where?
From what I know none of the kits from any manufacturer comes assembled.
If you can maybe ask your LHS to help out.
Thanks for watching
@@rcexpatshk Thanks. I actually did find one spot in HK, HRC Mini-Z Arena, you can pay an additional $60 USD for assembled.
what kind of side spring and center shock do u use on this rcp surface? is there any setup suggestions for the freshman
Green front, yellow centre, blue rear is what I run. Works great for me as a beginner
thank you sir, i would like to practice this chassis on your club 😊, maybe you can help me adjust it@@rcexpatshk
by the way do you have the side spring in stock? i need this OP part
@@wong7339 try contact GL Racing directly either by email or buy through website.
Otherwise try HRC Arena. They should have .
I’d love to help. But plenty much more experienced guys at the club. All friendly. Just ask and they’ll love to help you also
any traction roll issues with hard bodies?
Very very little if any. All down to the tuning and how you drive. Thanks for watching
Where to buy the limited body?
It came direct from GL Racing. I believe they’re sold out now. Maybe you could find one being sold online. Otherwise check out their new Audi R8 bodies. The Red Bull one looks dope!
Where is this track located in Hong Kong? Do you have an address?
This track is situated in Kwun Tong. But it’s members only unfortunately and not open for walk in.
You can search for RCPHK.
@@rcexpatshk Thanks very much for the information. I plan to visit Hong Kong later this year and have been searching for open tracks to do some practice driving on, or even a race if permitted.
@@magnumcyclonex
Search also for
HRC arena , RC mms these will allow casual walk in. Call beforehand .
That steering servo is just so far out there, and it’s huge! Looks like a chassis balancing headache.
Yeah it does protrude a little. The receiver on the other side helps balancing. Wasn’t to hard . Thanks for watching
@@rcexpatshk a little? It’s in a different area code! How is it suppose to compete with an RX28 with a very centered electronics? It’s simply not going to rotate in the corners as quickly.
