SWorkz S35-4 User manual

INSTRUCTION
The SWORKz S35-4 1/8 Nitro is designed for pure racing. The geometry of the car provides optimized
corner speed compared with easy handling and maximum traction.
The S35-4 features a T7075 hard anodized and lightened aluminum chassis with a wide layout that was
tested for a long time by our factory pilots to guarantee the best performance.
The totally new developed HET differentials are included too and provide a traction, that is not possible
with old systems.
The new S35-4 comes with a lower shock layout in front and rear and the construction of the shocks is
adapted to that new optimized layout. The xed shock spring plates will make it almost impossible to lose
them anymore.
The steering geometry, with new Ackerman and steering plates, gives the driver the feeling of total control
over the S35-4.
With the toe in plates, which now contain square inserts, you can adjust the geometry of your SWORKz
S35-4 to t to every track layout and track condition. Lower arms in front and rear are made of a newly
developed composite material and t exactely to the new chassis geometry. Side guards were redesigned
in the same way.
With the new lightened wing support you can adjust position and angle of the wing to give your SWORKz
S35-4 the perfect balance on the track. Together with the optimized new body shell, the aerodynamic
system is working perfectly together.
Another new development in our SWORKz S35-4 is the totally new rear hub. Composite material combined
with Carbon plates gives you the possibility for various setups. The newly developed Composite material
is working perfectly together with the HET differentials to provide maximum traction.
There many more small changes and smart ideas in your new SWORKz S35-4, that make the car being a
real winner.
The secret of a modern racing car is the possibility to adapt the setup to every track for top pilots but also
have a standard setup that works on most tracks for hobby pilots.
And your SWORKz S35-4 is having these two characteristics in perfection.
The SWORKz development team focused on using materials, corresponding to the highest quality
standards, when designing the car. You will nd only 100% SWORKz quality in the S35-4 kit.
Congratulations on your purchase of the new SWORKz S35-4 1/8 scale off-road racing buggy pro kit and
