The Serpent S120 is a purpose-built 1/12 pan car chassis that balances a slim carbon platform with precision-machined components. Its focus on set-up flexibility makes it suitable for racers who want to optimise handling and traction.
The S120's front end pairs fixed lower arms with a central support and rubber O-rings to control movement. Grey anodised aluminium upper wishbone mounts allow a range of caster settings to fine tune steering response and corner entry.
The rear motor pod is machined from a single aluminium block to maintain accurate alignment and torsional stiffness. This approach improves resilience to knocks and accommodates modern brushless motors and neat cabling.
An integrated tweak station uses grub screws in spring steel blades so you can alter flex tension with precision. The station also secures the carbon antenna rod, making setup changes repeatable between sessions.
The lateral monoshock controls chassis flex while the central oil-filled damper smooths rear movement to aid traction under acceleration. The central damper spring is adjustable, letting you set rear down stop and travel to suit the circuit.
The ball differential uses high quality steel balls and plates for consistent operation and is adjusted via a plastic nut. The graphite rear axle sits in eccentric composite inserts and bearings to enable swift ride height adjustments.
The S120 is ideal for competitors seeking a stable, tunable 1/12 pan car that responds well to careful setup and component selection.
