SWorkz S35-4 1/8th nitro buggy kit

Following first impressions of their forthcoming new nitro off-road buggy SWorkz have fully unveiled the S35-4 1/8th scale kit. The buggy is designed for pure racing with the geometry of the car providing optimised corner speed paired with easy handling and maximum traction. The S35-4 is based on a new T7075 hard anodised and lightened aluminium chassis that sports a wide layout while the newly developed HET differentials being also included to provide an amount of traction that wasn’t possible with the previous systems. The kit also comes with a lower shock tower layout in the front and rear and the construction of the shocks is adapted to that new optimised layout. The steering geometry, with new Ackermann and steering plates, gives the driver the feeling of total control over the buggy. Also part of the kit are new suspension mounts that utilise new square inserts, allowing the buggy to be adapted to a wide range of track conditions. The lower front and rear arms are moulded using a newly developed composite material and they are of an updated design to fit the new chassis geometry. The side guards were redesigned in the same way. Another development are the totally designed rear hubs. Composite material combined with carbon plates gives drivers the possibility for various setups. The newly developed composite material is working perfectly together with the HET differentials to provide maximum traction. With the new lightened wing support owners can adjust the position and angle of the wing to give the buggy perfect on-track balance and together with the optimised new body shell, the aerodynamic system is working perfectly together. The kit is set for a release in the first half of April.

The S12-2 uses a 4mm carbon fibre front shock tower and a completely new designed front C-Hub geometry. An adjustable Ackermann plate and carbon fibre steering plates come as a kit standard as do the new gullwing lower arms that provide a lower shock position which leads to a lower centre of gravity.
