Reflex Racing FX28 Formula Car Kit

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Experience Formula Racing in 1:28 Scale! After nearly two years of anticipation, Reflex Racing has delivered a masterpiece. The FX28 isn't just another 1/28 scale car—it is a ground-up, purpose-built Formula platform designed specifically for the unique demands of open-wheel racing. At Hobby Hideaway, we know our racers want realism without sacrificing performance, and the FX28 nails that balance. With its ultra-narrow profile and incredible scale fidelity, this is the car that will define the next chapter of our 1/28 scale racing scene here in Orléans.

Innovative Design & "Low-Profile" Performance Reflex focused on three core pillars: simplicity, a low center of gravity (LCG), and narrow weight distribution. The FX28 features a rugged 2-piece front end with 2° of caster and 1° knuckles for explosive corner speed. By using steel and aluminum in the lowest sections of the chassis, Reflex has kept the weight pinned to the track. Most impressively, the rotary hinge rear suspension and disc damper system allow the car to maintain a 97%+ scale fidelity to full-sized Formula cars, fitting perfectly under the high-performance Lexan body and molded nylon wings.

Key Features:

• Purpose-Built Front End: A super-tough 2-piece design featuring 2° of caster and 1° knuckles, delivering linear steering and massive cornering grip.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because the FX28 is an open-wheel car, the front wing is the first thing to take a hit. While the included molded nylon wings are tough, we recommend keeping a spare set in your pit bag. When painting your body, use light coats to keep the weight low and the scale details sharp!
