The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Champion’s Choice, Now in Ottawa! The wait is over for the most anticipated 1/28 scale evolution of the year. The RX28SE Gen 3 isn't just an update; it’s a complete reimagining of the championship-winning platform. Engineered by world-class drivers for those who demand surgical precision, this third-generation kit introduces a "Lower-than-Low" CG profile and a host of mechanical refinements that turn your local track into your personal playground. If you’re serious about dominating the Wednesday night league at Hobby Hideaway, the Gen 3 is your ticket to the top of the podium.
Revolutionary Front & Rear Engineering The Gen 3 "Special Edition" (SE) features a redesigned front end with 1mm longer arms for unmatched stability and a new integrated sway bar system for razor-sharp turn-in. The rear end has been overhauled with an ultra-low CG motor mount that drops the motor by 0.8mm and lowers side dampers by 3mm. These micro-adjustments result in significantly higher corner speeds and lightning-fast direction changes. Built on Reflex’s signature 24mm Steel Tub Chassis, this car provides a rigid, high-performance foundation that simply refuses to flex under load.
Key Features:
Ultra-Low CG Motor Mount: New design lowers the motor by 0.8mm and lowers the tweak brace by 1.25mm, maximizing weight distribution for high-speed cornering.
Enhanced Front Stability: Features 1mm longer front arms and a dedicated sway bar system, delivering a more stable and predictable feel at high speeds.
Redesigned Big Bore Shocks: Low-profile shocks and springs provide a "buttery-smooth" feel, soaking up track imperfections while maintaining maximum mechanical grip.
Ultimate Tunability: Features adjustable caster (3-screw system), integrated shock tower with shim adjustment, and adjustable upper arm hinge pin height for precise camber and roll center tweaks.
Signature SE Steel Chassis: Constructed with a premium 24mm steel tub for industry-leading rigidity and the lowest possible center of gravity.
Complete Customization: The kit includes both a premium ball differential and a gear differential, plus two sets of plastics (Black & Gray) so you can match your style and track needs.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: The Gen 3's new rear end is secured by a 3-screw damper mount, making trackside maintenance significantly easier. We recommend starting with the Ball Differential for high-bite RCP surfaces and switching to the Gear Differential if you’re looking for more punch and durability on lower-grip carpet setups.
