SWorkz S14-3 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy kit

Following a first teaser SWorkz have officially introduced their new S14-3 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggy kit. The kit takes the S14-2 as a base and features a load of redesigned and improved areas such as the suspension that did away with the front pivot ball design in favour of a standard C-hub and steering knuckle assembly which will greatly improve performance especially when racing on high-bite carpet tracks. All suspension components, including the new front and rear A-arms are moulded from a strong nylon composite material. Also new to the S14-3 is an improved shock absorber system as is the redesigned 7075 aluminium chassis that, in combination with the new carbon fibre upper decks, will improve rear traction. Another area of improvement are the new and unique 5mm axle universal cross driveshafts that are made using the same high-grade steel material SWorkz uses for their 1/8th off-road vehicles. The buggy already prove its competitiveness in the hands of factory driver Micha Widmaier and it will hit stores around mid-October.
