SWorkz Concept S104 Evo 1/10th buggy

SWorkz introduce the Concept S104 Evo 4WD 1/10th scale buggy. Sporting a revised design with updated suspension geometry and shock absorbers the buggy makes also use of the FCSS and Evo 2 systems known from the company’s 1/8th scale buggies. The new stronger suspension arms also add durability and performance as does the standard centre differential that is easily replaced by a slipper clutch if conditions call for it. The buggy is meant to make a first appearance in the hands of SWorkz’s Atsushi Hara at the upcoming Reedy Race of Champions.
