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.
