Catfish 1/28 Scale Lexan Body

he Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Stability and Speed for the High-Bite Track! Inspired by one of the fastest production hypercars to conquer the Nurburgring, the Catfish is Rad Body's specialized answer for high-speed GT racing. While bodies like the Mako are known for aggressive turn-in, the Catfish offers a mellower initial steering response that transitions into incredible mid-corner speed. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend this shell for racers who want a neutral, easy-to-drive feel that remains rock-solid in high-traction conditions and fast, sweeping corners.

Hypercar Aerodynamics for the 1/28 Scale The Catfish is engineered to provide maximum stability when the grip levels are high. Its aerodynamic profile is designed to keep the car settled, preventing the "twitchiness" that can often lead to mistakes during a long main event. By trading off a bit of low-speed agility for higher cornering velocities, the Catfish allows you to carry more momentum through the fastest sections of the track. Its lightweight Lexan construction ensures your center of gravity remains as low as possible.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Neutral Handling: Mellow initial steering with high mid-corner stability—perfect for consistent lap times.

• High-Bite Specialist: Performs exceptionally well on high-grip RCP surfaces where stability is key.

• Hypercar Inspired: Aerodynamics modeled after record-breaking full-scale performance.

• Low CG Design: Lightweight Lexan shell reduces chassis roll and improves overall agility.

• Next-Gen Ready: A fantastic choice for the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04, as well as the RX28 and GL Racing chassis.

• Clear Polycarbonate: Unpainted shell ready for your custom racing livery.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because the Catfish has a mellower initial turn-in, it’s a great body to pair with the ultra-responsive MR-04. The stability of the shell balances out the quickness of the new sensor-driven electronics, giving you a car that feels incredibly smooth and predictable. If you’re racing on a layout with long, fast sweepers at our Orléans track, the Catfish will likely be your fastest option!
