(Pre-Order) Sworkz S35-5 1/8 Nitro Buggy Pro Kit

SHIPPING FROM SEPTEMBER 14, 2026.

The SWORKz S35-5 is a 1/8 scale nitro RC buggy built for drivers ready to take the leap into real competition. It inherits the geometry of the proven S35-4 EVO platform — the same platform that has taken SWORKz factory drivers to the podium on the world's toughest tracks — and improves it with a lighter chassis, more precise suspension and sharper steering. The result is a car that's easy to drive from day one, with enough tuning range to grow with you as your skills improve.

It ships as an unassembled kit, just like the serious end of nitro RC, so you can choose your own electronics and engine and build the buggy to run exactly the way you want.

Why choose the SWORKz S35-5

Frequently asked questions about the SWORKz S35-5

Does the SWORKz S35-5 include an engine and electronics?

No. The S35-5 is sold as an unassembled kit, so it does not include an engine, exhaust, transmitter, receiver, servos or wheels. These components are purchased separately according to each driver's preferences.

What sets the S35-5 apart from the S35-4 EVO?

The S35-5 shares the same wheelbase as the S35-4 EVO, but adds a lighter chassis, a new ball-bearing guided sway bar, dual-position shock towers, Samurai Competition springs and a redesigned radio tray, among other improvements.

Is it a suitable buggy for drivers new to nitro?

Yes. Its geometry inherits the predictable, easy-to-control character of the S35 series, making it accessible for those starting out in nitro, while still offering the tuning range that competition demands.

Can it be built with an extended chassis?

Yes. Alongside the standard chassis, an optional +3 mm extended chassis is available, recommended for fast, high-grip tracks where extra high-speed stability is needed.
