Team Associated RC28R Lipo 3500 Lexan

The Team Associated RC28R Lipo 3500 Lexan build is a great setup for those looking to jump into the Lipo 3500 Lexan class. Lipo 3500 Lexan uses a Lipo based chassis with a 3500kv motor and a lexan body. The Team Associated RC28R is a new kit, but looks pretty quick on the track with a 3500kv motor and a lexan body. The car is highly adjustable to both the track conditions and your drive style, with included tuning parts that can adjust camber, caster, roll center, axle height, and more. Therefore, the Team Associated RC28R team kit would be a great choice to build for Lipo 3500 Lexan.

Body:

We recommend a lexan body like the PN Racing ZLB or the Protoform P63. These touring car style bodies provide a good, stable downforce setup. Team Associated includes a lexan bumper and body posts for the front and rear sides, so when you build the kit, use those to mount your body.

Other Parts:

The kit comes with a 53t spur gear already, so you’ll need to add a 12t 64p pinion to complete gearing. AE also recommends experimenting with different silicone shock fluid and silicone diff fluid for more tuning, so check out their lineup of oils to further tune your car. Pickup your tire of choice from Kyosho, PN Racing, or Marka, and mount them up on the included rims, and your car should be ready to roll!

Electronics:

Electronics are also simple for this car. You’ll need a 1:28th scale servo, receiver, ESC, motor, and battery. For servos, it seems the AGFRC A06CLS is a popular choice, and is powerful, quick, and durable. You can find other servos in similar size that’ll work with the car. For receiver, find a micro receiver that works with your radio of choice. Some brands, like Flysky, already have micro receivers directly from them. However, other brands of radios you might have to find a micro receiver from another company. Look around for a matching radio and receiver that operates on the same frequency and technology. The Hobbywing Mini28 ESC is another very popular choice for 1:28 scale Lipo cars, so we’ll recommend it for this car as well. It has the ability to connect with multiple different Hobbywing tuning cards, so you can tune the ESC settings like any other ESC. Lipo 3500 Lexan uses a 3500kv brushless sensored or sensorless motor, but we recommend the PN Racing Anima V4 3500kv motor, since it works for P1 Mini RC race rules, and 28sra and PNWC race rules. Finally, find a small 2s Lipo battery, less than 20mm wide, to finish off the electronics setup of the car.
