INTRODUCTION
Introducing the new APOLLO 1/8th scale o󰀨-road brushless powered professional ready to run
buggy from SWORKz. The 1/8th APOLLO buggy is a Pro RTR version based on the successful
S35-2E buggy.
The APOLLO (assembled in the same factory as the S350 BX1e ) incorporates many of the
same race-inspired features as the S35-2E Pro Kit. The buggy provides precise feedback and
a nimble yet balanced feel that suits drivers of all levels. The SWORKz design team focused
their efforts into the proper weight distribution on the APOLLO. Proper weight distribution
proved to be instrumental to the ease of setup during the testing phase of the APOLLO.
The SWORKz APOLLO 1/8th scale brushless powered o󰀨-road Pro RTR buggy comes standard
with many high quality parts as T7075 aluminum chassis, front and rear shock towers. It also
has S350 BK1 Pro Kit's Big Bore Shocks version 2.0 (4mm shock shafts), High Performance
Crown Gears and Pinion Gears and oil filled differentials providing traction and balance on
multiple o󰀨-road surfaces. The pivot ball steering system gives the driver sharp and accurate
feedback. The APOLLO also comes with a race inspired base setting that is easy to drive.
The APOLLO set comes with high quality electronics from HobbyWing (SWORKz SE-100) 100A
1/8 BL ESC and an S-ePOWER SP2150 BL 3670 MOTOR.
The SWORKz SES-2S steering servo (with 12kg metal gear) is made by SAVOX. All packages
also includes a 2.4G Radio System.
A pre-cut clear body shell is included.
