I am so proud being a part of Team SWorkz. The quality of each part is the best in the market and the chassis performance is amazing. Special thanks to Scott Yang for giving me this good opportunity. My first international race this season will be SGIP Xiamen with S353 and S353E. Can’t wait to start the new season with the SWorkz factory team!

SWorkz have introduced the Jörn Neumann Edition Worlds rear end conversion kit for the S35-3 1/8th off-road buggy. The set includes new rear lower arms, rear uprights, wheel hex adapters and several other parts that help to increase the buggy’s rotation in tight and twisty tracks, such as the 2018 IFMAR Worlds track in Perth, Western Australia. Using the parts will free-up the rear end while adding steering and while the set is the go-to solution on smaller, tighter tracks, it is better to stay with the usual setup on normal tracks, according to SWorkz’s Jörn Neumann. The set is a direct fit with everything included for the conversion and it is available now.
SWorkz have announced the addition of former IFMAR Worlds and multi-time ROAR National Champion, Ryan Cavalieri to their 1:8 off-road factory team. The former long-time Team Associated ace left AE at the end of last year and he be piloting SWorkz’s popular S35 1:8 off-road platforms in his 2019 campaign. Ryan says:
I’m very excited to be a part of the SWORKz team in 2019. I would like to thank Scott Yang and Max Sonnleitner for giving me this opportunity and making the great line of communication during this process. I’m looking forward to work with the team and engineers for their 1:8 scale program starting with the Dirt Nitro Challenge as my first event of the year.
