GX28 Car Kit

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Masterclass in 1/28 Scale 2WD Dominance! If you are chasing titles in the 1/28 scale pan car racing scene, the highly anticipated Reflex Racing GX28 is the purpose-built weapon you've been waiting for. Built on the championship-winning DNA of the RX28 and FX28 platforms, this kit delivers podium-proven performance in an incredibly compact package. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves how this chassis combines an ultra-low center of gravity with aggressive tuning options, making it the ultimate blank canvas for serious competitors demanding precision and speed on high-grip surfaces.

Championship-Winning Engineering Reflex Racing hasn't just tweaked their previous designs; they have engineered the GX28 to dominate. It features an incredibly narrow chassis optimized for razor-sharp cornering without traction rolling. The rear end utilizes an innovative linkless suspension system derived directly from their FX28 Formula platform, delivering ultra-smooth operation and exceptional rear grip with minimal maintenance. Up front, it features a highly adjustable sliding king pin suspension with aluminum knuckles and Delrin sleeves, ensuring buttery-smooth steering response. It’s also fully compatible with RX28 double A-arm front suspensions, letting you easily swap front ends to perfectly match your driving style and track conditions.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Unassembled Competition Kit: A premium builder's kit loaded with precision-machined parts and high-quality hardware for serious 1/28 scale racing.

• Linkless Rear Suspension: Derived directly from the FX28, delivering massive corner-exit traction, reduced slop, and ultra-smooth operation.

• Sliding King Pin Front End: Features adjustable aluminum knuckles with Delrin sleeves, paired with a carbon fiber lower arm and aluminum bulkhead for lightweight rigidity.

• Ultra-Low Center of Gravity: The extremely narrow chassis design keeps the weight incredibly low to prevent traction rolls on high-bite tracks.

• Ball Differential: Includes a premium ball differential engineered for buttery-smooth power delivery and precise throttle control under demanding race conditions.

• Ultimate Compatibility: Designed to accept 24mm batteries for flexible power options and compatible with RX28 double A-arm suspensions for maximum tuning versatility.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: The ball differential is the absolute heart of your 2WD chassis's cornering performance! When you are assembling the GX28's ball diff, take your time and use a high-quality, dedicated diff grease. You want to tighten it just enough so that it doesn't slip under hard acceleration, but not so tight that it feels gritty when you rotate the rear wheels in opposite directions. A buttery smooth ball diff allows your outside wheel to spin faster through the sweepers, preventing the rear end from breaking loose and giving you massive punch coming out of the corners!
