Sworkz have been in contact telling us that the company will be offering it’s support to all Sworkz drivers at the Euro-B this weekend in Sacile, Italy via Austrian driver Gerhard Steinbock – bringing lots of spare parts, which we’re told will be free for the 12-15 drivers SWORKz are expecting to take part, hailing from Austria, Germany, Poland and France.

Ten days ago we showed you the first CAD images of SWORKz’ S104 EK1 1/10th scale Offroad 4WD buggy, SWORKz themselves sent us the first shots of their new car from the toy fair in Nuremberg, Germany.
“The SWORKz S104 EK1 Pro 4WD buggy with its narrow chassis design comes standard with the SWORKz X-system transmission that provides excellent car acceleration. Equipped with Big Bore Shocks and oil filled gear differentials, the S104 EK1 delivers good traction and balance on any off road track. We are following the pivot ball steering system as our 1/8s to give the driver a good feel of the S104 buggy.”

After two years spent focusing on their 1/8th Buggy products, SWORKz have turned their attention to a quieter more refined class, namely 1/10th Offroad, they’ve kindly released some CAD photos of the new ‘EK1′ Pro Kit with plans to release a Sport/RTR version later on with the ‘EX1′ name. Whilst the 4WD buggy is a true 1/10th racer straight out SWORKz say they’ve used many of the tricks and design tips learned from their 1/8 electric buggy in the development of the 4WD S104 EK1, firmly believing that the car will be very strong yet very light and nimble to drive.
The narrow chassis design comes standard with SWORKz own ‘X-System’ transmission which they say provides a ‘powerful punch’ on acceleration, fully equipped all round with big bore shocks and oil filled gear diffs the S104 is designed for maximum traction on a variety of surfaces and also features a Pivot Ball style steering setup. Expect more details after the Nuremberg toy fair at the start of February.
