The steel chassis plate lowers the center of gravity for improved handling, while the adjustable roll center insert lets you dial in chassis roll to match track conditions. Precision tuning continues with a threaded aluminum center shock, spring collars, and side damper tubes—giving you full control over pitch, roll, and droop. The innovative two-piece rear pod features Factory Team carbon fiber shims for fast, easy axle height adjustments. You can even fine-tune Ackermann on the fly thanks to the adjustable servo mount. Compact, customizable, and built to perform, the RC28R delivers serious racing performance even in the tightest spaces.
