Coming from SWorkz and made for the S12-1 2WD buggy are two new aluminium option parts. First up is an aluminium Ackermann plate made from high-quality aluminium to make for improved overall strength and steering precision. The black anodised part comes including a set of ball bearings, shims and mounting hardware. Also new and designed to work together with the above Ackermann plate are aluminium steering bellcranks.
