Hi,
I have converted my Sworkz Nitro EVO to E buggy and was wondering what other E bodies will fit it like Mugen, Xray, Associated, Losi?

Taffyjnr5.....
Run a mugen eco body mate, side pods are slightly taller so it clears the battery, I have been running my converted evo 'll all year and loving it!

Just opening the box, I see a couple nice surprises like included diff fluid(7k, 3k) and shock oil (400 cst), 4 way wheel wrench, 3 spur gears etc.

On sworkz website download the pdf manual for the sv 350 evo 2, this appears to be updated, shows the correct install for pills, hinge pins, the tie rod and camber link match what I have seen on pictures of Bliars car. I was really impressed with build. Fit and Finnish is very nice.

Thanks, I'll get it before I start building tonight.

I was able to run my sworkz eBuggy this weekend. Car felt really good and respond to set up changes. Only thing is any bolt that screws into locknut that you cannot see 1-2 threads sticking out, put a longer bolt in it. Especially the tie rod bolts

It's hard to tell from pic, plenty of room for tekin esc. The rx box is smaller than normal. I run mt4s with 462 rx (36.2 x 26.5 x 16.3mm) there was not enough room for rx and surge capacitor. I used 471 rx (30 x 23.3 x 14mm) this allowed me to put strip of foam below rx, plug in at rear of box, capacitor at front of box on top of rx, this did not leave room to coil up extra wire inside box, so I coiled up and secured wire between esc and servo. I am happy with this part of wiring. I may redo sensor and motor wires to clean that up.

Anyone have a good base setup? Should I follow my old be1 or s350 evo II setups?

Book set up is really good, first run with this eBuggy was on a med size track with light layer dust low- med grip. Made a few tweaks that have worked for me in past, shocks in on lower A arm, rear shocks out on tower, less anti squat. Car has a really good balance feel, can push it without getting squirly or pace it and still be responsive. I was able to TQ, win A1, was leading A2 when tie rod bolt feel out in open eBuggy, pace was not to far off expert eBuggy. this was with new built car, no practice days to get a feel for it, on a track I normally don't run, usually struggle with low bite tracks. In A1 I had no wreck no marshal run, which is huge for me. The car is easy to drive! I liked the feel so much I was looking at it next to nitro to see what I needed to change on nitro. I do like the feel of the pink springs on nitro n will get those to try on eBuggy

anyone out here getting this car running yet? I am in So cal. Picked up that used (barely used) S350 EVO II Limited from a guy in Vegas and love it. Super durable, easy drive, stable, lots of steering. It was built wrong but it's going good now. Only complaint is that I have NOT broken anything. WTF? something always breaks. Anyone have word when it's coming back into stock from amain? I am itching now to get it and finally have the scratch. And what's with the Gray plastics?
