SWorkz have introduce two new chassis reinforcement braces for their S35E based vehicles. The braces attach to the lower chassis right between the front and rear chassis braces and they will reduce chassis pitch to protect the centre driveshaft while remaining chassis flex. Coming as lightweight aluminium or +20g brass variant, the braces will fit the S35E, S35-TE, Zeus and Apollo kits.

The set includes both the front and rear tower in 5mm material and is available in blue or black.

Following a couple of teaser SWorkz have now officially introduced the S35-T 1/8th nitro truggy kit. Based off of the S35-3 nitro buggy the truck kit comes with a range of option parts already included in the kit with the truck featuring a newly designed Ackermann steering system and a quick-tune front shock tower for swift and easy shock angle changes. Also included is the lightweight plastic BBD differential system for improved acceleration while the new radio tray system makes for a more precise throttle and brake response.
SWorkz have introduced the Formula 1/8th off-road bulkhead and front upper arm wing set for the S35-3 buggy. The set includes front wings that attach to the buggy’s front gearbox while the front upper arm wings follow the unique design of the recently introduced carbon front upper arm wings. The kit includes four bulkhead and four upper arm wings that can be left clear or painted in the designed colour or paint scheme. Using the wings will greatly improve front balance and results in easier to manage jumping and landing.
Coming from SWorkz and made for the 35-3 series of 1/8h buggies is the front upper down force wing set. Made from high-quality carbon fibre the moulded wings attach to the front upper A-arms and they are meant to improve corner speed while also making jumping and landing easier. The set includes two wings and suitable mounting hardware.
Following a first teaser image, SWorkz have released more renderings of their forthcoming S35-3T 1/8th scale nitro off-road truggy. The newly developed vehicle will utilise design features taken over from the S35 series buggies, such as the ability to easily add balance weights to the rear part of the chassis, it will come with an angled engine mount as well as many other features. More information will become available in time for the release, although a date has not been given yet.
T-Works have introduced a range of stainless steel rear chassis skid plates for several 1/8th off-road buggies.

The sets include two skid plates and they are available for the Kyosho MP9, HongNor X3 Evo, SWorkz buggies, the HB Racing D815/D817/E817 as well as the Mugen MBX7/R.
