RC Project S35-4 & D819 shock cap & membrane sets

Similar in design to the recently release ONG RC8B3.2 shock caps, RC Project have released shock caps for the Sworkz S35-4 & S35-3 and also for the HB Racing D819RS, D819 & D817. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 3 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. For the HB specific shock caps, the new geometry allows a front droop up to 107 mm in order to adapt the set-up according to the type of track with the caps mounting on the shock tower without any modification. Both kits include 12 membranes with 3 different hardnesses that will allow you to vary the behaviour of the shock absorber based on the track, the driving style and temperature.

The motor mount is available with a 6 degree tilt angle or a 4 degree tilt angle which allows the chassis balance to be changed during jumps or in high-speed curves.

SWorkz S12-2 gearbox mount & rear lower arm holder

Two new option parts for the SWorkz S12-2 with a new aluminium gearbox mount and brass rear lower arm holder. The gearbox support mount is a strong alloy part connecting the chassis and gearbox and will reduce the flex and twist at the rear chassis meaning the rear suspension has less grip, especially useful for high grip carpet tracks. The rear lower arm holder (RF) is made with high quality brass and weighs 15g. Built exactly the same size and shape as the stock rear lower arm holder, it can balance the rear chassis weight distribution of the S12-2 buggy.
