RC Speed Tracking: CYCPLUS G1 GPS Cycle Computer Review

Review

Measuring top speed is an essential part of tuning your RC car.

It provides clear data on how your modifications impact performance.

Today, I will introduce the device I use for all my speed runs.

CYCPLUS GPS Cycle Computer G1

The CYCPLUS G1 features a simple, high-visibility 2-inch screen with a backlight.

Although designed for bicycles, it is perfect for RC cars.

Since it uses GPS, you can start measuring just by placing it on the car.

There is no need for complicated wiring or external sensors.

Package Contents and Mounting

The package includes everything you need. Mounting is easy even on RC chassis.

For RC car installation, I use the included rubber bands.

The unit can be easily detached from the mount for charging.

Even during high-speed runs, the mount stays secure.

Mounting Examples (DT-04 / Grasshopper)

Here are some examples of how I mount it on different chassis.

Placed at the center of the DT-04 chassis. It fits perfectly in narrow spaces.
A recorded pass on the DT-04. The max speed is clearly displayed.

Next is the legendary Grasshopper.

Mounted on top of the Grasshopper body. No issues during off-road sessions.

Its compact size makes it compatible with almost any RC car.

It weighs only 70g, so it doesn’t affect the car’s handling.

Features and Specifications

The manual explains how to track current, average, and maximum speeds.

Key specifications for RC enthusiasts:

  • Waterproof: IPX6 rating (safe from splashes and dust)
  • Charging: USB Type-C (convenient for field charging)
  • Battery Life: Up to 55 hours of operation

The “Max Speed” memory is exactly what we need for speed testing.

Conclusion

The CYCPLUS G1 offers high GPS accuracy and reliable data for a low price.

It has become an indispensable tool for my RC hobby.

Why not try a “Top Speed Challenge” with your own machine?
