SWorkz S350 BK1 Evolution kit coming soon

SWorkz have released this first teaser image of their upcoming S350 BK1 Evolution 1/8th nitro buggy. No details are known yet but by the looks of things the buggy will at least sport a new body shell design, featuring the unavoidable cab forward silhouette with a very low rear section around the engine’s cooling head. Other details literally remain in the dark until SWorkz drop the curtain in the form of a full features and specification list.

S-Workz S104 4WD EK1 4WD buggy kit

At this year’s Nuremberg International Toyfair S-Workz, already known for their 1/8th electric and nitro off-road buggies, showed a prototype of their first ever 1/10th electric 4WD car and now the vehicle nears its public release. The S104 EK1 is based on a very narrow aluminium chassis and sports some very interesting design features such as a front pivot ball suspension, ‘1/8th-ish’ wheel axles with large diameter wheel hex adapters and wheel nuts as well as a forward-biased weight distribution with a rear battery mount for 2S LiPo saddle and 98mm shorty packs. The shock towers are cut from silver-colour carbon fibre with the rear item being of a split design with a lower aluminium camber link brace for added rigidity. Mounted to the damper stays are big bore aluminium oil-filled shock absorbers with mud deflectors to protect the shock shafts and seals. Included with the kit comes an aggressively shaped cab forward body shell with add-on polycarbonate dirt shields for the main chassis plate. It is understood that the kit will hit the stores by the end of August.
