SWorkz SPower & O.S. LPF cooling head

Coming from SWorkz and made for the SPower S7 Evo II and O.S. Speed Spec II/III and B2102 engines is the new LPF cooling head. The heatsink is 24mm lower than the standard version while the weight is also reduced by 10g which results in a dramatically lowered centre of gravity. The outcome are improved cornering performance, increased stability and less chances of damaging the heatsink in the event of a crash. Thanks to the larger diameter of the heatsink the cooling performance is the same compared to a standard, tall cooling head.

SWorkz Apollo 1/8th Pro RTR electric buggy

Following a couple of teasers SWorkz have finally unveiled the Apollo 1/8th Pro ready-to-run electric buggy. The vehicle is based off of the S35-2E Pro kit with whom it shares most of its race-inspired features such as the 7075 aluminium chassis. The front and rear shock towers are made of 7075 aluminium and the buggy utilises the S350 BK1 Pro Kit big bore version 2.0 shocks with 4mm shafts. The drivetrain is equipped with high performance crown and pinion gears and oil-filled differentials provide traction and balance on multiple off-road surfaces while the pivot ball steering system gives the driver sharp and accurate feedback. The buggy also comes pre-adjusted with a race-inspired base setting for an easy driving feeling. The kit is rounded out by high-quality Hobbywing electronics such as the SWorkz SE-100 100A 1/8 BL speed controller and the buggy is powered by the S-ePower SP2150 BL 3670 motor. The set is rounded out by the SES-2S 12kg-cm Savöx-made steering servo with metal gears, a 2.4Ghz radio system, and a clear, pre-cut body shell.
