Serpent S120 LTX 1/12 Pancar (Kit)

HobbyKing is now carrying another famous brand - Serpent!
Both On and Off road competition chassis kits are now available!

This is the Serpent S120 LTX 1/12 Pancar kit.
The S120 Link chassis consists of 2 main elements, the 2.0mm thick carbon fibre chassis plate and the rear aluminium motor pod. The chassis uses a Link-system , and is damped using a conventional centrally mounted shock absorber together with an anodised tube system.

The front end of the car is completely adjustable and utilises the now standard fixed lower suspension arms combined with active top wishbones, which together with kingpin mounted springs ensure that the car is able to corner at high speeds and soak up any small bumps found on the racing surface.

Features:
Development
Serpent pan-cars are developed by Michael Salven in close cooperation with Serpent key team-drivers.

The 1/12 team is expanded with Marc Fischer from Germany, who will also assist to test and developed the S120 platform even further, and same with top-driver Chris Kerswell from the UK.

S120 Front end
The front end of the car features 11 different adjustments to help you get the most from your car, all of which are easy to adjust and measure. Fixed lower suspension arms are themselves damped by the central strut which uses rubber o-rings to take up the flex in this area, while the grey anodised aluminium front upper wishbone mounts are available in different caster angles, the car being supplied with 6 degree versions as standard. Ride height spacers are available too in 0.5mm and 1mm. With the steering block king pins spring loaded, the cornering forces are channelled through the upper wishbone, which enable the car to corner at high speeds.

Central section
The springloaded side-bars, the links,  are made of composite nylon and control the roll of the chassis, together with the tubes and the main central shock.
Precision made springs and pivot balls.
The central section is a combination of elements to control the movements of the rear end perfectly
- a central main shock, based on the famous Serpent RCCX technology; the shocktower enables various angles.
- the anodised alu tubes on both sides
- 2 spring loaded shaped side bars
These elements interact to create the best possible handling (roll, bump and alignment) under all grip-conditions.

Rear axle mounts
The lightweight graphite rear axle is mounted on bearings that sit within eccentric composite inserts that allows the user to ability to quickly and easily change the rear ride height of the car simply by changing between inserts.
The kit comes supplied with all 9 inserts which range between 0 and 4mm, each differing by 0.5mm and all are reversible for an even wider range of adjustment.

Rear motor pod, chassis
The strong basis is formed  by the 2.0mm thick carbon fibre chassis plate designed such way that the Lipo is mounted in lateral direction, and can be mounted either left or right side,  and enough space for all the valuable electronics. 
The alu / carbon motorpod is a beautiful combination of high quality machined alu brackets and top quality carbon fibre parts, bolted together to create an ultra stiff rear pod.  The new motor-bracket allows the brushless motor to be mounted in the optimal position for car balance and offers good heat dissipation as well .
