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.

MXLR X4 Front & Rear Body Supports

Max Machler’s MXLR brand has introduced new Front & Rear Body Supports for the X4 Touring Car platform from Xray. With the trend of feather light bodyshells and even higher top speeds, deflection of bodyshells became an issue for serious racers with MXLR coming up with this solution that fits the X4’25 / X4’26 & X4F’27. Preventing deflection of the bodyshell under higher speeds, it also reduces the risk of cracking the front wheel arches of the bodyshell resulting in extended lifetime of your bodyshells combined with better performance on the track as the shell will stay in its original shape and produce more downforce. In the design process MXLR took special care about the “flex” in this area and is designed to have the least flex influence possible. Also offering a Rear Body Support, each is made from high quality plastic, including MXLR laser engraving on each sides.

Reflex Racing GX28 Steel Front Bulkheads

New from 1:28 specialists Reflex Racing come these new optional Steel Front Bulkheads for the KISS V2 front suspension on their GX28. Offered in 2º, 3º, and 4º, this front bulkhead adds about 4 grams of weight to the suspension to shift the weight bias forward on your car. This is suited for higher traction conditions and Lexan body classes where you need to mellow out response and decrease traction rolling. Also for the KISS V2 is a new Aluminium Lower Arm. Although the countersunk washer addition helped the CF Lower Arm become much more durable, this part adds even more toughness, albeit with a slight 1.5 gram penalty. Reflex still recommend to use the lower Screw CS washer and screw for maximum durability.

With the tag line ‘Test the Offset – Not another Tyre’, each modular rims consisting of a 3-screw connection, an Anti-traction Roll Disc Assembled, a Molded Rim, a 0.5 mm tuning shim, and interchangeable hub. The DAS rims have been designed around the tyre with the rim compound having been purposefully selected for its excellent adhesion with CA glue, helping create a strong and reliable bond between the tyre and rim. From their testing and experience with molded 1:28 racing rims, this is the most concentric molded rim they have experienced to date – providing an exceptionally true and consistent foundation for the tyre. Integrated glue channels help CA flow and distribute across the tyre-to-rim contact surface. Three access openings on the inside of the rim allow the glue tip to reach deeper toward the centre of the tyre, helping achieve more complete and consistent adhesion across the full width of the tyre.
