Serpent S120 Link-Tube chassis

Serpent S120 Link-Tube chassis

Having brought you a sneak peek CAD image on Monday, today Serpent have released complete information and images of the S120 Link-Tube, the latest version of their 1/12 chassis. Optimised following a full season of testing and racing, the focus has been on the optimal weight distribution in the car with modern LiPo, motor and speedo. A symmetrical chassis design gives even flex while a new top deck and alu poles increases stiffness. The front end with many set-up options is continued, the strong rear end is now fitted with 7075 T6 anodised alu parts for the motor pod to increase durability even at hard crashes and S120-LT is fitted with super-light and strong aluminum rear shaft.

Serpent S120-LT chassis

Serpent S120-Link Tube version chassis

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.
