Around for some time in prototype stages SWorkz have now introduced the production version of the S12-1M 1/10th scale 2WD buggy kit. The mid motor carpet spec buggy builds on a 3mm 7075 aluminium chassis that allows for four different battery configurations including shorty, saddle and square packs. The gearbox is of the latest low-profile design with a front-mounted motor, centre layshaft and rear gear differential while the suspension utilises bladder-less large volume big bore shock absorbers, a front aluminium and rear carbon fibre shock tower. The rear aluminium suspension mounts make use of a composite insert system to adjust the toe and anti-squat settings and the buggy is usable with standard 12mm hex wheels or SWorkz’ own “1/8th-style” rear wheels.
Serpent have a first teaser of their forthcoming S100-LTR 200mm pan car kit available. The World GT car will feature a new centre pivot design, new adjustable steering blocks and upper arms, a redesigned chassis and top deck as well as a longer centre shock absorber. More information will become later this week.
