yeah. Missed the sensored part.

No problem. After 45 minutes of trying to put a square peg in a round hole I gave up and put the stock speedo back in. I’ll try the sensored setup in my GLR. Bums me out, the GLF is so sensitive to throttle input I was curious how the sensored system would feel in that car.
FYI, MRCS has 2500KV sensored motors available.

I considering trying a 2500. My race host were expecting there delivery of stuff right after the last race.

I don’t know if any of the others run sensored in their F1.

Pinion finds all the track debris. No other car I run does this.

Figured it out! The GL sensored esc is much smaller than stock. I was able to remove the electronics plate and mounted the esc and receiver directly to the chassis. No interference with side links. Getting ready to calibrate and give it a go!

Routing the sensor cable was challenging. Battery plug is not built into the speedo which kinda sucks. Both manageable. Feels very smooth. Waiting for the program box to dial it in. Not sure if this one can be programmed without it. Tried all my Hobbywing boxes and my WiFi module but no luck. 😭

Hi, It cannot program without but the standard program is a good starting point.

I would turn motor with the board facing the diff for body clearance, always make sure when you swing the rear left and right that the body once install it does not touch anything or the side rod suspension will not work properly.

nice fitment of the esc.

Thank you sir. I opted to trim the body to fully clear the sensor board on the motor. Standard programming is fine except no reverse. My boards are round pvc, like a magnet sucking the front wing in! I also prefer to turn forward power down with the esc rather than TX epa. Assuming that’s an option with this esc...

Gonna try something for home use. It will get a brand new set of tires shortly. Just couldn’t get the slicks I’ve been running to work at home.

I put 14mm PN super soft radials on the back and they were magical! Paired with 23° fronts the car was fantastic. Ordered the brass chassis hoping the car will feel even better.

I know it’s mostly my fault for not constantly cleaning my home track. Not one of mine can run slicks at home. I’m probably due for new tires when the group gets back together. They seemed fine at the last practice in March.

Now it’s a matter of readjusting all the controller settings I made trying to get it around the track.

I’ve been setting my track up on our deck. Between temperature fluctuation and outdoor filth it’s a constant battle! Vacuum and sponge mop constantly. Also frequent tire changing as temps in Colorado fluctuate rapidly!

Temps have been up and down near Chicago. It’s almost always under 60s in my basement. I’ve wiper down a few trouble spots. Never vacuumed. I don’t have one safe to use on it.

First night with the radials. Some signs of improvement. I will say I’m absolutely fed up with the Futaba 4PL. It’s been ok for 1/10. Nothing but a disappointment for small scale for me. Once the group is back, I’ll get a couple receivers for the EX6.

Are you having issues with the radio or receiver? I’m using the Futaba compatible micro receiver and it has been less than reliable. Some days it’s perfectly fine, others it’s a royal PIA! Reading many micro/mini threads here, I concluded it must be a lousy product as there are many reports of issues with this receiver. However, my son is using the same receiver and his works perfectly. Not one single glitch. We both use 4PX ‘s. I’m thinking now it may be a QC issue. I’m going to see if GL will replace mine. Meanwhile I’ve purchased another micro for my GLR. I’ve been using a genuine Futaba standard receiver but will test my second micro in that car soon.
