The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Championship Pedigree and Rail-Slicing Precision! The Mako GT is "all business" and has the track record to prove it, recently locking out the podium at the RCHQ 1/28 Scale Champs. Designed specifically for 1/28 scale racing by an automotive design student, this body isn't just a shrunken-down version of a real car—it’s a purpose-built racing tool. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend the Mako GT for racers who prioritize high-speed stability and consistent rotation. Its balanced handling makes it an incredibly easy-to-drive shell that doesn't sacrifice raw pace.
Engineered for the RCP Environment The Mako GT features a specialized "smooth front end" design, specifically conceptualized to prevent snagging on RCP track rails—a common issue that can ruin a perfect lap. This aerodynamic shell offers a very low center of gravity, which, combined with its high-speed stability, results in a car that feels planted and predictable. Whether you are navigating tight technical sections or flat-out straights, the Mako GT provides the consistency needed for high-level competitive racing.

Purpose-Built Design: 1/28 scale specific racing GT body designed for optimal performance.
Podium-Proven: Used to sweep the podium at major 1/28 scale championships.
Rail-Safe Front End: Smooth contours designed to minimize snagging on RCP track barriers.
Balanced Dynamics: Offers a perfect blend of high-speed stability and mid-corner rotation.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To maintain that podium-winning performance, pay close attention to the trimming of the front splitter. Keeping it clean and at the recommended height will ensure you get the maximum benefit from the "anti-snag" design while maintaining optimal front-end downforce. This body is a fantastic match for the MR-04, as the chassis' increased agility pairs perfectly with the Mako's stable and consistent aerodynamic feel.
