The Serpent S120 Link: Precision Engineering in 1/12 Scale Racing
The Serpent S120 Link is a testament to the brand's dedication to high-performance RC racing. This 1/12 scale pan car is engineered for competition, featuring a finely crafted carbon fiber chassis and aluminum components that ensure both durability and agility on the track. Designed for racers who demand precision and adaptability, the S120 Link offers a sophisticated setup that allows for extensive customization.
Advanced Front End Adjustability
The front end of the S120 Link is a marvel of engineering, offering 11 different adjustments to fine-tune your racing experience. The fixed lower suspension arms, dampened by a central strut with rubber o-rings, allow for enhanced flexibility and control. Anodized aluminum upper wishbone mounts are available in various caster angles, with a standard 6-degree version included. The spring-loaded steering block kingpins channel cornering forces through the upper wishbone, enabling high-speed turns with confidence.
Innovative Monoshock System
One of the standout features of the S120 Link is its laterally mounted floating monoshock. This unique design effectively dampens flex between the chassis and motor pod, enhancing stability and handling. By adjusting the shock pistons and using different oils, racers can customize how the car responds to corners, making it adaptable to various track conditions.
Central Section Dynamics
The S120 Link's central section integrates multiple components to optimize rear-end movement. A combination of a central main shock, spring-loaded side bars, and pivot balls work together to manage roll, bump, and alignment. This setup, rooted in Serpent's RCC technology, provides exceptional handling across diverse grip conditions, ensuring the car remains responsive and stable.
Robust Body and Battery Mounts
Durability and flexibility define the S120 Link's body and battery mounts. The car features robust plastic body posts with adjustable collars for precise height settings. Battery mounting options allow for weight distribution adjustments, crucial for achieving optimal balance. The inclusion of Lipo inserts ensures secure battery placement, enhancing performance consistency.
Precision Rear Axle and Differential
The lightweight graphite rear axle, supported by eccentric composite inserts, allows for quick ride height adjustments. The ball differential, featuring high-quality steel balls and plates, provides smooth and reliable performance. With easy access for maintenance, this component is built for durability and precision, essential for competitive racing.
