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.

RDRP RC8B3 brass rear weight

Made for the Team Associated RC8B3 is RDRP’s new brass rear weight. A quick and easy solution to add weight to the rear of the chassis, the CNC-machined part is made of high-quality brass material, it comes black anodised and attached to the RF suspension block using the kit’s screws. Adding weight in front of the rear axle greatly helps to gain traction on slippery surfaces while also making for a more plush ride over very rough terrain. The weight is compatible to all 3rd generation RC8 kits including the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.

RDRP RC8B3 titanium shock mounts

Made for Team Associated’s 3rd generation 1/8th off-road vehicles are the new RDRP titanium shock mounts. Machined from high-quality titanium material for the lowest possible weight while keeping exceptional structural rigidity, the parts were designed to do away with the original steel mount and screw in place for a 1-piece solution that scrubs about 1g of weight per piece. On top of this the design also allows for easier shock angle changes as there is only a single nut to undo in order to slide the mounts out of the shock tower. All needed mounting hardware is included and the titanium shock mounts are compatible with the RC8B, RC8B3e, RC8T3 and RC8T3e.
