SWORKz S12-1M INSTRUCTION MANUAL

INSTRUCTION
The S12-1M chassis platform is designed for racing. It features a mid-front gear box with a lower position
spur gear system. The motor position is 65mm away from the traditional gear box (S12-1R) improving the
cornering speed when racing on carpet tracks.
The S12-1M also features a 3mm 7075 chassis layout that allows up to 4 different battery positions. The
buggy comes with a 6mm aluminum front shock tower and all the lower arm holders are made of strong
aluminium.
SWORKz designed a Pure Oil Shock System (no shock bladders) for quicker shock response and
improved suspension feel.
The S12-1M comes standard with the innovative Eaglet body designed for more rear grip and steering
response. The Eaglet body provides a well balance feel in both mid-motor and rear-motor congurations.
The S12-1M platform was designed from the ground up and is the perfect buggy for the serious racer
and weekend hobbyist alike. The smart and efcient design incorporated with a cost-effective and user
friendly platform was our primary goal from the beginning of the S12-1M project. We now introduce to
you the SWORKz S12-1M......
