SWorkz have introduced new aluminium rear wheel hubs, with inserts, for their new S35-4 series of vehicles. They are the same size as the original plastic wheel hubs supplied in the kit but come standard with POM CNC ball bearing inserts. They fit perfectly with the 8x16x5mm ball bearings and helps to exactly align the drive shafts for smoother transmission.

Coming from TMG Speed and made for the SWorkz S12-2 2WD buggy are new carbon fibre side guard stiffeners. Made from 2mm carbon fibre these side guards add stiffness to the chassis for high grip and indoor racing by limiting torsional flex. The plates are a direct fit and available from now on.
SWorkz have introduced their new 2-way aluminium steering and universal design throttle servo arms. Starting with the 2-way steering arm, the reversible design allows to use it both with the SWorkz S35 nitro and electric buggies with the shorter side fitting the nitro kits and the taller side being ideal for the electric-powered vehicles. Both sided features a clamping design utilising a small 2mm x 6mm cap head screw that prevents the servo horn from falling off during the race.
TMG Speed have introduced their new lightweight battery hold down system for the SWorkz S14-3 buggy. Made from 7075 aluminium for a low weight and exceptional strength, the battery holder accommodates both standard height and LCG LiPo battery packs. Included with the machined battery posts come high-quality O-rings.
Coming soon from RC-Project from Italy are new shock standoffs for HB Racing, Mugen, SWorkz and Team Associated 1/8th off-road kits. The standoffs are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material with the design of the standoff increasing the surface between the shock cap bushing and shock mount, meaning less wear to all parts involved. A hard-coat finish and teflon treatment further enhance parts life. The standoffs, that are available separately for the front and rear, come with colour-matching shims specific to each vehicle and they also include high-quality mounting screws.

T-Works have introduced new optional parts for the SWorkz S14-3 4WD and S12-2 2WD buggies in the form of titanium turnbuckles kits, ball bearing sets, and screw kits. The turnbuckle sets are machined from high-grade 64 grade titanium and they include a turnbuckle wrench for easy building and adjustment. The ball bearing sets include rubber and metal-shielded ball races for an efficient drivetrain and exceptional protection against dust, dirt and moisture. As for the screw kits, these are available as UFO head titanium and standard gold-colour steel sets. The titanium fasteners will help to lower the buggy’s overall weight while the gold-colour steel screws add visual impact.
