SWorkz S35-GT Pro 1/8th nitro GT kit

SWorkz have introduced their new S35-GT 1/8th nitro GT kit. Based on the electric-powered S35-GTE platform, with whom the nitro kit shares the front and rear suspension parts and gearboxes, the nitro GT features a new 2-speed centre transmission and an Ackermann steering system that comes straight from the S35-3 nitro buggy. The front upper suspension arms of the vehicle are of a multi-piece design with optional carbon fibre covers helping to add strength when running in high ambient temperatures or on very high-bite tracks. A unique front shock tower design allows for easy suspension geometry changes and the 7075 aluminium main chassis with L.F.C. Lower Friction Coefficient system will improve overall grip while offering less friction when bottoming out. The kit is rounded out by a newly developed radio tray that ensures precise throttle and braking response.

Samix TRX-4 brass knuckle set

Samix have introduced a brass knuckle set for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Machined from high-quality material and coming black coated for wear and looks, the knuckles weigh in at 51g per side, meaning they will add a whooping 102g per set to one of the lowest areas of the truck. The added weight will greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while shifting weight to the front of the truck for improved climb performance. The knuckles are a drop fit and work with the standard Traxxas parts as well as the respective Samix TRX-4 optionals.
