Thanks All! 😊 Great info from everyone. Better get my toolkit out and start investigating.

Hi All 👋, I bought a second hand GF-01 and after running it a few times it has developed a squeak when in motion. It sounds like something needs more lubrication but I’m not sure what part. I’ve tried listening closely to locate where the sound might be coming from but no luck. Any ideas for a solution? Cheers!

Does anyone know if you can tell if a GF01 has a full metal bearing set installed without taking it all apart?

Great tips, thanks. Would using a Tamiya TBLE-02 ESC be a better option for this car? I was hoping to stick to Nimh batteries but guess I could put a Sport Tuned motor in for more power?

Thanks for your help everyone, I’ve managed to stop it from cutting out on full throttle by recalibrating the ESC. But it still won’t pull wheelies on demand like I’ve seen on YouTube. It seems as though it’s not accelerating hard or fast enough to wheelie. The GF01 with stock parts is a wheelie machine, right?

I’m using a brand new fully charged Overlander 3300 NIMH battery, brand new DumboRC X6PM 350 transmitter with X6FG receiver but I don’t know the brand or model of the ESC, which came with the car and is second hand. Here are some photos of the ESC, does anyone recognise what one it might be? It has no branding on it, looks like the sticker it once had has peeled off.

Hi All, long time lurker first time poster here. I’m having an issue with a recently bought second hand GF01… when I go full throttle it just cuts out and stops accelerating. If I pump the throttle it can go quite fast but towards the very high end it dies. It doesn’t wheelie like it should and if I do manage to get it to wheelie after reversing and then a quick throttle forwards, it won’t sustain the wheelie like I’ve seen it do on YouTube videos. One of the main reasons I wanted a GF01 was because it’s supposed to be a wheelie machine, right? It has just a 27T Tamiya Silver Can brushed motor, but it should still pop wheelies with that. And obviously it shouldn’t be cutting out on full throttle. Does anyone know what might be going on?
