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.
The problem now is I can’t tell if the car has an issue, I think it does. Or if the bad driving is caused by the controller.
I knew the mini96 sized track was gonna be a challenge for it. But it’s almost 2 seconds slower then every other car I run on it.
I got off to a bad start with Futaba. It took a month of trying to get a 1/10 receiver to bind. Got 4 others still can’t.

Hi folks! anyonw know hwat happeend to GL F1 from Facebook? Page and the user have vanished it seems. I placed an order with them about a month ago, and items havent arrived yet but it's not suprising. Just curious if anyone know what happened? I've got my radio, just waiting for receiver and motor to get here then im good to start firing up my baby!
Unfortunately i had a bit of an accident a few weeks ago and i can no longer bend down so will be fun when i can evnetually get the thing running... hopefully i don't need to marshal myself too much

Not sure why you can't see it.
If you bought over from HK and choose anything different than Fedex or DHL, get ready to wait...
marshal should not be that much.. just start slowly ;-).

I’d hoped going with the 14mm rear tire would show some improvement. But so far no. I’m sure the humidity isn’t helping. But I’ve reached the end of my patience with the 4PL. No setting adjustments help. It either has too much steering and drives like a hammerhead shark. Or not enuff to make the turns. It’s now been 3 months since I’ve been able to actually drive it. And unfortunately, i still have no idea of when we might start back.

Ez laps transponder fits perfectly here. I’ve had to trim the back of my body few times. I have a feeling when we do finally get the class going. We will be running the prototype LMP body.
