SWORKz ZEUS II 1:8 Pro Truck Brushless Kit

SWORKz has announced its new generation ZEUS II 1:8 Pro Truck Brushless Kit. The ZEUS II project is the result of SWORKz passion for improvement. Combining every detail into a more balanced and improved truck called the “ZEUS II”. The truck incorporates many of the race-inspired features from the S35-T2E and S35-4E Pro Kits. This Truck provides precise feedback, a nimble and balance feeling that will suit drivers of all levels. The design team put their efforts into proper weight distribution for the ZEUS II EP Monster Truck. Proper weight distribution proved to be instrumental to the setup during the testing phase of the ZEUS II EP Monster Truck. It comes standard with many high quality parts like a T7075 aluminium chassis (same S35-4E chassis hard coating process), front and rear shock towers. It also has S35-T2E Pro Kit’s 16mm BBS Racing Shocks, High Performance Crown and Pinion Gears and oil filled differentials provide traction and balance to the truck on different off-road surfaces. It uses the S35-T2e newly designed centre motor mount that makes it possible to easily change the motor or adjust the free play of the gears. The pivot ball steering system gives the driver sharp and accurate turning feedbacks.

Pro-Line has released two new variations of their popular 1:10 crawler bodies. They are reviving a long-time favourite in the crawling scene with a longer wheelbase version for all popular rock crawlers with the Sumo L.

They have used the same classic import look as the original, with the modified “hard top” removed exposing the trunk area, allowing you to customise the look of your truck with scale accessories. The fenders allow for oversized 4.75″ tires, or just cut them off completely to create a true trail-ready look. The Cliffhanger crawler body has become the go-to standard for any rock crawler serious about competition or high-performance crawling. Now, you can get on the trails faster than ever with the Stone Gray Tough-Color edition of this body. Tough-Color polycarbonate is made from gray material, giving you a faster way to get to your local crawling spot with no paint needed! Included are stylish red & black factory livery graphics and realistic window stickers.
