Serpent S120 1/12th scale

Serpent S120 1/12th scale

Kept under wraps at the Toy Fair back in February, Serpent have just released the full information on their long awaited 1/12th scale chassis, the S120. The S120 chassis consists of 2 main elements, the 2.5mm thick carbon fibre chassis plate and the rear single piece aluminium motor pod. The chassis uses a T-bar system, which has adjustable tension thanks to its unique tweaking system is damped using a conventional centrally mounted shock absorber together with a laterally mounted floating monoshock. 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. In shops early August.

Its finally going to become available, nice! Although I believe Associated and the new RC12 took less time from proto-type to retailer. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Well…..I tested a lot with the car. Its Serpents first pancar and it was clear before, that it needs time.
Thanks for their trust in my ideas and I hope customers will like the car and its skills.
Take care!

I am wondering if a 200mm car is in the works?

5. MM - July 19th, 2008 at 00:04

you never know, but you are right, the interest in 200mm pancars or Pro 10 cars is growing….time will tell

I wish the real Pro 10 (235mm) would make a come back, although it seems in the US 200 mm is becoming popular, and in Europe 235 mm is still being raced in some areas.
