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.

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 anodized aluminum 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 channeled through the upper wishbone, which enable the car to corner at high speeds.

The S120-LTX uses tubes to control the roll of the car.

This system plays a big part in how the car turns into a corner which can be adjusted through the use of different oils, 15.000 for normal grip and 20.000 for high grip tracks.

The spring loaded side-bars and 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 shock tower enables various angles.
– the anodized aluminum 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.

For securely mounting the body shell to your S120 LTX, the car has strong plastic body posts front and rear. All 4 posts are supplied with orange anodized adjustable collars to precisely adjust the body’s height and the posts are supplied extra long to allow the user to cut them to their own preferred length. The front body posts have also been designed to help protect the front of the carbon chassis from splitting in the event of a heavy front impact.

The S120 Link comes supplied with a high quality miniature servo saver, which through the use of orange anodized shims, has adjustable Ackerman.

The kit includes 2 aluminum servo posts, which enable a  perfectly centered mounting  of any popular brand servo.

The small foam bumper is also included.

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.

The S120 LTX comes supplied with a durable and high performance ball differential. Easily adjusted by a plastic nut, accessible through the right rear wheel, the diff uses high quality steel balls and plates and is supplied with both suitable silicone and graphite grease for use during assembly and maintenance.

The rear diff features hardened D-plates and light aluminum shaft assembly for super smooth diff action.

To aid rear traction under acceleration and to absorb bumps, the S120 LTX sports a centrally mounted shock absorber. Supplied with a soft spring, the pre load of which can be adjusted, the front mount of this shock absorber is used for adjusting the rear down stop and range of movement between the chassis and motor pod.

The central shock is mounted on a shock-tower with a number of positions to choose from.

The strong basis is formed  by the 2.0mm thick carbon fiber 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 aluminum / carbon motor pod is a beautiful combination of high quality machined aluminum brackets and top quality carbon fiber 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 .
