Serpent have announced details on the new version of their 1/12 scale platform, the S120. The S120-Link Tube version chassis is now fully developed for LiPo use and combines the Links with the Tube system. This creates a very agile, fast and easy to set-up racing chassis. All carbon parts are new, a new top-deck is added, but front and rear pod, alu shaft and main shock remain the same as before. We are also told that a conversion set for S120-L to LT will be offered too. We can expect more info later in the week, while the kits should be ready to ship from the 1st week of October.

AKA R-Line SC pre-mount series

AKA have announced the addition of their Short Course tires to their R-Line pre-mount series. Short Course R-Line pre-mounts feature AKA’s Cyclone wheel made from AKA’s proprietary blend of high impact nylon. Inside the tire is AKA’s industry leading soft red insert designed to decrease the lateral deflection of the tire while at the same time increasing the vertical impact absorption therefore providing better handling in the bumps. The lateral grooves allow the insert to flex vertically and absorb large impacts while still maintaining lateral stability and overall durability that AKA inserts are known for. The result is a more predictable handling car in the harshest track conditions. Last but not least SC R-Line pre-mounts are all hand assembled using AKA’s best selling tire glue to ensure a perfect bond every time. R-Line pre-mounts are available to fit most popular SC truck brands including Traxxas, Associated, Kyosho, Losi and HPI.
