SWorkz S35-T2 1/8 nitro truggy

SWorkz have introduced their new S35-T2 1/8 nitro truggy. The geometry of the car aims to provide great corner speed with exceptional traction and improved control. Featuring a T7075 hard anodised and lightened aluminium chassis, this wide layout has been tested by their team driers to guarantee the best performance. The newly developed Truggy HET differentials are included and provide traction that was not possible before. The new S35-T2 also comes with a longer shock layout in the front and rear, the construction of which is adapted to that new optimised layout. The steering geometry, with new Ackerman and steering plates, gives the driver a feeling of total control and with the new toe-in plates, which now contain square inserts, you can easily adjust the geometry to fit every track layout and track condition.

PSM S35-4 FC System V2 engine mount

From PSM Racing for the SWorkz S35-4, this new FC System V2 engine mount features a unique design and race proven strength along with premium build quality. Also compatible with the S35-3, this system features a straight (0°) engine mount design which provides an alternative to the kit standard 6° degree angle. The zero (0°) angle design also provides improved, more linear corner speed compared to an angled engine which tends to push the vehicle out in corners. Available exclusively through MW Handel GmbH.

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.
