The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Elite Aerodynamics for 1/28 Racing! If you are looking to push your lap times to the absolute limit, the Reflex Racing FX28 Lexan Body is a top-tier choice for competitive racers. Designed with high-speed performance in mind, this body offers a lethal combination of low weight and aggressive downforce. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend the FX28 for racers who want to sharpen their car's steering response and stability in high-speed sweepers. It is one of the most popular choices for 98mm pan car classes due to its balanced handling and "on rails" feel.
Optimized for Performance and Style The FX28 is crafted from high-quality Lexan, significantly reducing the "top-heavy" feel of traditional ABS bodies. By lowering the center of gravity, it allows for flatter cornering and higher exit speeds. The aerodynamic profile is meticulously designed to provide front-end bite while maintaining rear-end stability, making it a versatile shell for various track layouts. Being a clear shell, it also gives you a blank canvas to create your own signature racing livery.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
98mm Wheelbase: Optimized for the standard competitive 98mm wheelbase configuration.
Lightweight Lexan Construction: Drastically reduces weight compared to hard plastic shells for improved agility.
Aggressive Aerodynamics: Designed to increase downforce for better traction in fast corners.
Next-Gen Ready: A perfect performance upgrade for the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04, as well as the MR-03, PN 2.5W, and GL Racing chassis.

Reflex Racing Engineering: Backed by one of the most respected names in the 1/28 scale racing world.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To maximize the durability of your FX28, we recommend using Shoo-Goo and drywall tape to reinforce the wheel wells and the front splitter area. This will help the body withstand door-to-door racing contact without adding excessive weight. For the best aero performance, make sure to mount the rear wing at the correct height to balance the car's handling for your specific track conditions.
