About the RC28R

Advanced Suspension and Tuning Options

The RC28R features a fixed-arm front suspension with optional molded upper arms, allowing for caster and camber adjustments. A torsion-style side link system replaces traditional side springs, offering better performance with three included stiffness options. The threaded aluminum center shock allows for droop, spring preload, and pitch adjustments, while side damper tubes refine roll control. The adjustable rear pod roll center and carbon fiber shims make tuning for grip levels and axle height quick and precise.

Easy Access and On-the-Fly Adjustments

Designed for ease of use, the battery holder is removable without disturbing the center shock, allowing for quick battery changes. The front bulkhead design ensures consistent fitment while enabling fast upper arm swaps. An adjustable servo mount provides real-time Ackermann tuning, optimizing steering response based on track conditions. This level of accessibility and tuning flexibility makes the RC28R both user-friendly and competitive.

Race-Ready Design and Versatile Components

From its gear differential to its two-piece rear pod, the RC28R is ready for customization. It includes white wheels that can be fitted with optional front flanges to tune steering feel, and both hard plastic and polycarbonate body mount options for a variety of bodies. A universal front bumper is included for added durability. Compact yet packed with race-grade features, the RC28R is a standout mini racer that performs like a much larger car.
