Team Associated’s RC28R Is Everywhere - Are You Adding One to Your Fleet?

The Team Associated RC28R Team Kit with Body and Tires is officially landing at hobby shops, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about 1/28-scale on-road kits right now. Designed as a true competition platform, the RC28R brings serious tuning options and race-focused engineering into a compact, easy-to-work-on package.

At its core, the RC28R is a 2WD pan-style on-road car built on a steel chassis plate for a low center of gravity and predictable handling. The fixed-arm front suspension keeps things simple, while included optional upper arms allow you to fine-tune caster and camber as track conditions change. Steering feel is further dialed in with an adjustable servo mount, letting you tweak Ackermann without tearing the car apart.

One of the standout design choices is the torsion-style side links, which replace a traditional side spring. With soft, medium, and hard options included, setup is straightforward while still offering meaningful performance gains, especially on higher-grip tracks. The threaded aluminum center shock, adjustable roll center inserts, and two-piece rear pod give racers the tools they need to fine-tune pitch, roll, and ride height.

The kit includes a RADBODY Mako X clear body, tires, and white wheels, making it ready to build and hit the track right out of the box. A gear differential is included as well, with compatibility for aftermarket options if you want to experiment further.

What’s really exciting is how quickly the aftermarket support is growing. Companies like Nexx Racing and MWX Performance are already developing upgraded parts, opening the door to even more performance, durability, and tuning potential. With that kind of support, the RC28R has all the makings of a serious track weapon in the 1/28-scale scene.
