SWorkz S12-1 aluminium diff case cover & gear

SWorkz have new option parts for the gear differential of the S12-1 2WD buggy available in the form of an aluminium case cover and an aluminium diff case. Machined from 7075 material and coming anodised for wear the parts maximise reliability with the case cover being usable both on the standard composite and also the alloy gear case. When used in combination with the composite case, the alloy diff cover will ensure perfect gear roundness for improved durability while the alloy gear case comes in handy especially on very high bite surfaces. Both parts are available separately and they are a direct replacement for the stock items.
