Wondering which 1/28 car to buy? The Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 is the car more racers run than any other in 2026, with the Team Associated RC28R second. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App this year: 354 racers added or updated a setup for one of the 35 1/28 on-road cars in the app during 2026.
The percentage under each car is the share of racers in that class who run it. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved. Counts updated November 2026.

How we counted
We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/28 on-road cars, added or updated between January and November 2026, so this is what racers run now rather than what they have ever owned. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved, and nothing about who they are or where they race reaches this page. Versions of a car that share a setup sheet, like a dirt and a carpet edition, are counted together.
