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.
