SWorkz S14-3 Velocity 2.0 lightweight body shell

SWorkz have introduced their new Velocity 2.0 lightweight body shell for the S14-3 buggy. With the help of a new moulding technology the body is about 40 percent lighter compared to the standard shell, helping to lower the overall centre of gravity, improve corning in high-bite track conditions and also helping with acceleration. The body comes made of high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes a front tower wing, window masks and a sticker sheet.

SWorkz have introduced a pinion gear stopper set for the S35-3 series vehicles. The 5x7x5.1mm crunch spacers ensure a smoother running drivetrain by filling the space between the inner input bearings.
