Gl Racing GLD Dift car review from a beginners prospective

Gl Racing GLD Dift car review from a beginner's prospective

My honest review of the GL racing GLD, the real costing and issues.

The basic budget for this GLD kit, including gryo receiver, motor, drift tires and wheels (no aluminum upgrades and no radio) $ 340 USD without tax and shipping.


If you have any tips and guide, kindly share your comment below, it will be greatly appreciated.

This video is about my experience with this kit, I don't have any experience with RWD drift cars and this will be my first micro build. I will be posting actual costing in building this GLD, and sharing my concern and regrets with some issues with this drift car.

My intention at the beginning was to minimize the cost in building a drift RC, buying only the necessary upgrade are my main objective, but found out my kit have a lot of issues, for me a well balance car is much easier to learn how to drift.

My total cost for this GLD with Flysky NB4 radio $ 873.83 USD without tax and shipping.
This project started November 2020 and started to show improvement April 2021, the long and very unpredictable project with very little satisfaction because of the frustration with day by day issues and the cost of this build.

Started to see improved when I purchased the brass chassis plates, ESC program car and the aluminum front suspension arm.

Please note: I have a lot issues with this project, maybe I have a really bad batch, please contact your reseller if you are interested with the GLD, talk about the the support and recommendation so you easily build this kit.

The latest front bulkhead option parts for GLD has arrived at HRC ARENA.
This option part is designed by HRC engineer solely after gathering comments from expert running GLD.
There are several features:
- Full Aluminum bulkhead increase the rigidity of the original plastic parts to enhance the front stability
- Lowering the front shock tower in order to have smoother drifting
- Reduce the gap on the front suspension tower mount
-Extreme steering angle, the redesigned bulkhead increase the drifting angle from the restriction of the stock plastic piece ( with Yeah Racing V3 Gyro, -100% ~0~ +100% sensitivity )
- increase the precision of caster angle, stabilise the chassis in corners, **use with GLD option caster aluminum plate will further increase the caster adjustment
