SWorkz release full S35-3 1/8th nitro buggy details

Following a series of images SWorkz have now officially revealed all details and features of the forthcoming S35-3 1/8th nitro off-road buggy. Building on the experience gained with the S350 line of buggies, the S35-3 utilises new nylon material for the A-arms with an optional carbon fibre cover allowing to adjust the stiffness of the front upper A-arms. A redesigned Ackerman steering system and a unique front shock tower design allow fine-tune the suspension geometry while the centre plastic BBD differential system is meant to improve overall traction and acceleration. The simplified radio tray system allows for better and more precise throttle and brake response and the L.F.C. lower friction coefficient chassis was designed to easily take optional 15g to 45g chassis weights. The kit is rounded out by a refined L-BBS shock system, and the Falcon Style 3 bodyshell.

Coming from ProStar R/C and available for many 1/8th buggies with pivot ball front suspension are the front Wing Arms.

The front arms are made using a strong and durable carbon nylon mix and the sets are available for the Mugen MBX7, RC8B3 and SWorkz S35 buggies. Custom colours are available to match the front wings with the body’s paintjob.

SWorkz S12-1 aluminium diff case cover & gear

SWorkz have new option parts for the gear differential of the S12-1 2WD buggy available in the form of an aluminium case cover and an aluminium diff case. Machined from 7075 material and coming anodised for wear the parts maximise reliability with the case cover being usable both on the standard composite and also the alloy gear case. When used in combination with the composite case, the alloy diff cover will ensure perfect gear roundness for improved durability while the alloy gear case comes in handy especially on very high bite surfaces. Both parts are available separately and they are a direct replacement for the stock items.
