Radbody Mako Evo 1:28 ABS Hardbody with Lexan Roof

New from 1:28 body producer Radbody comes the Mako Evo, an ABS hardbody with lexan roof. This latest hardbody is intended to complement Piranha on medium to large tracks. Mako Evo has been developed to flow through corners with less initial turn-in than Piranha, and transition to midcorner and exit with more rotation. With the side clips installed, the body should weigh just over 24 grams. The new wing incorporates a hump that drops down toward the rear for full chord height, but still picks up cleaner air farther from the body. Molded in 0.5mm for durability, it also features reinforcement ridges to reduce flapping, giving a more confident feel at high speeds. The roof remains 0.3mm, and it is higher than the lexan versions of the Mako. Radbody has raised the roofline to match Piranha for two reasons, firstly for aesthetics and secondly for downforce in the mid-front of the car. There are also vents in the rear of the body to reduce the “parachute effect”. Radbody recommends using thin tape to cover them for different handling characteristics.
