SWorkz release full S12-2 details

Following a couple of teasers and first images of the production-ready kit, SWorkz finally unveiled all details of their forthcoming all-new S12-2 1/10th scale 2WD buggy kit. The car builds on a lightened and hard-anodised 7075 aluminium main chassis whose layout allows for up to six different battery positions while the overall chassis flex can be changed by adjusting the sideguards. In the suspension department the car sports an updated geometry that was developed to provide optimised corner speeds and an easy handling on carpet or very high-bite tracks. The S12-2 uses a 4mm carbon fibre front shock tower and a completely new designed front C-Hub geometry. An adjustable Ackermann plate and carbon fibre steering plates come as a kit standard as do the new gullwing lower arms that provide a lower shock position which leads to a lower centre of gravity.
