If there’s one unreleased product that has the entire 1/28-scale scene talking right now, it’s the RAD012 Radbody Piranha Body Set.
Radbody doesn’t hype lightly, and calling this “one of the most exciting products to hit 1/28 in a long time” might actually be underselling it. The Piranha was designed with one goal in mind: to win.
Built for Performance, Not Just Looks
The Piranha body is all about performance-focused design. It features a low-weight construction, combined with a Lexan roof and wing to keep mass down high on the car, exactly where racers want it.
One of the standout features is adjustability. The body allows for adjustable positioning, giving racers the ability to fine-tune weight balance and fitment depending on chassis setup and track conditions.
Mounting Options for Every Build
Radbody clearly thought about real-world racers when designing this kit. Inside the kit you’ll find:
-
RX28 body clip position clips included
-
Mini-Z style clip mounting
-
Traditional body post mounting options
No adapters. No extra parts to hunt down. Whether you’re running an RX28-style setup or a traditional post mount, it’s all included.
A Matching Carbon Fiber Bumper Is Ready
To complete the package, Reflex Racing already has a dedicated carbon fiber bumper set designed to match, the Reflex Racing Radbody Piranha CF Bumper Set.
This isn’t an afterthought. The bumper is purpose-built to pair perfectly with the Piranha’s shape, offering improved durability, precise fitment, and that clean race-ready look serious 1/28 racers expect. It’s a clear sign this body was developed as a full system, not just a standalone shell.
Developed by Racers, for Racers
Radbody has been open about the amount of time spent developing this body, and it shows. Everything about the Piranha points toward serious track use, not shelf-only aesthetics. This is a body built to be raced hard.
And that brings us to the real question everyone keeps asking…
So… When Is It Releasing?
The Piranha hasn’t been released yet, only for "ONLY FOR PNWC PARTICIPANTS" they mention but the 1/28 community is already in line for it, and we're right there with you, Radbody and Reflex, when?!
This is exactly the kind of product racers want: lightweight, adjustable, versatile, and purpose-built for competition.
As soon as release details drop, you already know we’ll be covering it. Until then, consider this one officially on the most-wanted list for 1/28 scale racing 2026.
Stay tuned and let’s keep pushing the hobby forward.
