INSTRUCTION
Introducing the new APOLLO II Pro Nitro RTR 1/8th scale o󰀨-road professional ready to run
buggy from SWORKz. The 1/8th APOLLO II Nitro buggy is a Pro RTR based on the pro S350
but with an updated S35-3 buggy center layout.
The APOLLO II Nitro buggy incorporates many of the race-inspired features from the S35-3
Pro Kit. This buggy provides precise feedback, a nimble and balance feel that will suit drivers
of all levels. The SWORKz design team put their efforts into proper weight distribution for
the APOLLO II Nitro buggy. Proper weight distribution proved to be instrumental to the setup
during the testing phase of the APOLLO II Nitro buggy.
The SWORKz APOLLO II Pro Nitro RTR buggy comes standard with many high quality parts
like a T7075 aluminum chassis (with the same S35-4 chassis hard coating process), front
and rear shock towers. It also has S35-3 Pro Kit's 16mm BBS Racing Shocks System, High
Performance Crown and Pinion Gears and oil lled di󰀨erentials providing traction and balance
on multiple o󰀨-road surfaces.
The S35-3's centre plastic BBD di󰀨 system provides better acceleration for the APOLLO II Nitro
buggy. It uses the S35-3 radio tray system that gives precise throttle and braking response.
The pivot ball steering system gives the driver sharp and accurate turning feedbacks. The
APOLLO II Nitro buggy comes with a race inspired base set up that is easy to drive.
The SWORKz SES-2S steering and throttle servos (with 12kg metal gears) are made by SAVOX.
This RTR also includes a 2.4G Radio System.
A pre-cut painted body shell is also included.
