SWorkz S12-1R 1/10th 2WD mid motor buggy

Following the S12-1M 1/10th 2WD mid motor buggy, dedicated for high-grip carpet and astro turf racing, SWorkz have now introduced the S12-1R kit with dirt-specific mid motor and gearbox layout. Different from the 1M the 1R features an “upright” gearbox with high layshaft and a motor position close to the differential, a setup that is known to produce more rear traction than the laydown gearbox found on the 1M. Apart from that the dirt specific car features a 3mm aluminium main chassis that allows to run four different battery positions, it utilises aluminium front and carbon fibre rear shock towers, and the kit includes the Pure Oil Shock System, non-bladder shock absorbers. Included with the buggy also comes the Eaglet bodyshell that is meant to provide loads of rear end grip and front downforce.

Schelle B5M Pro Built ball differential

Schelle B5M Pro Built ball differential

Coming soon from Schelle Racing Innovations is the Pro Built ball differential for the Team Associated B5 series vehicles. Pro built by Nick Wautlet, the diff uses Schelle 3/32″ tungsten carbide differential balls along with a caged ceramic thrust bearing for buttery smooth diff action. It also uses genuine Team Associated outdrives, diff gear, rings, and the T-nut assembly and it is broken-in using a drill to seat parts and pre-groove the diff rings. The diff comes ready-to-run but needs to be set as it is stored loose to prevent damaging the rings.
