GL Racing GLR

Thanks for this video ! I will paint my first body lexan soon, a SubRc Hibiki ! It will be a first experience.

Good luck! Preparing a body is both fun and stressful. I have a second body to work hopefully soon.

Interesting video. Does the GT Bumper kit come with all that parts including metal parts? Btw. Recently I got a used GLR with alot of stuff and there was exactly the same body in the package with the exact pre-drilled holes. My plan is, to give it a nice Mazda race paintjob. My experience with different bodies is that the pan car bodies perform very well but they need special bumpers and your built has to be very tight. The original GL-Racing lexan bodies perform almostvas good and allow normal bumpers and provide mire space inside.

Thanks. Yes, the GL front bumper shown in this video has everything to mount to the chassis, including the blue metal parts, and it also includes 2 long body posts. Good luck with the GTR build! I had some time to run this GLR with this lexan body last year and it ran really well. Handling was good and neutral. Acceleration was noticeably faster than running with a hard body.

Thanks!!

What top carbon brace is that? Nice build btw

[@sammybaka]

Thanks. Above the battery is the standard GLR carbon piece. In the front, it's using the GLR triangular front brace (GLR-009)

[@BeauFPV]

the wheel arch has been cut incorrect ?

[@sammybaka]

Yup. I didn't put the body post holes correctly so it was offset towards one end. The body ran awesome but the build wasn't the best for sure. Recently I built up the protoform p63 body and that came out nicely.

@@sammybaka i just decided to go with that body shell ,everything came out really nice but then i also made the mistake of putting holes in the wrong place lol! i should have done holes before painting! love all your content by the way bro!

[@sammybaka]

Thanks! Yup my lesson learned here is also to trim and ream while the body is still clear. I'm going to have a build video for the second lexan body that will lead to better results!

Do you still run this car and how does it compare against newer models? I’m having one built and want to also run a lexan body

[@sammybaka]

Hi -- I haven't been to a track for a while, but previously I drove the GLR enough to be able to compare the experience vs a Reflex RX-28K and a GLR-GT with reflex parts. Regardless of the chassis, lexan is going to be a lot more agile vs a hard body. In general I feel the most consistent and relaxed with the GLR-GT, but the GLR comes pretty close too. I never got as smooth with the RX-28 myself, but it's probably just due to my lack of practice. By now though, GLR is pretty old so the community and part support is less common now.

Just had a glr built with some upgrades we wil see how it does against todays newer cars soon enough, wil be running it with a hard body and a 3500 motor
