Serpent 410003 S120 Link: Race-Focused 1/12 Pan Car Chassis
The Serpent 410003 S120 Link showcases the brand's focus on precision race hardware. This 1/12 scale pan car chassis kit pairs a 2.5mm CNC machined carbon fiber plate with durable aluminum pieces to deliver a rigid and serviceable platform. Built for racers who tune setups at the track, the S120 Link allows extensive adjustments for different grip levels and driving styles.
Front End Tuning Options
The S120 Link front geometry provides multiple adjustment points to refine handling. Fixed lower arms work with a central dampening strut and rubber o-rings to control flex. Anodized aluminum upper wishbone mounts are supplied in a range of caster settings, with a 6 degree mount included as standard. The spring-loaded steering block kingpins transfer lateral loads through the upper wishbone for stable, predictable turn-in at speed.
Lateral Monoshock Benefits
A standout feature of this kit is the laterally mounted floating monoshock that reduces unwanted flex between chassis and motor pod. By swapping shock pistons and oils, the response through corner transitions can be tailored to suit carpet, astro, or high-grip surfaces, giving drivers a clean feel through direction changes.
Central Linkage and Rear Behavior
The central section combines a main central shock with spring-loaded side bars and precision pivot balls to manage roll and bump. This RCC-derived layout balances rear compliance and traction, helping the car stay composed across varied track grip and line choices.
Adjustable Body and Battery Fixings
Durable plastic body posts with adjustable collars let you set body height accurately. Multiple battery mounting positions and included Lipo inserts allow fine tuning of weight distribution to influence front-rear balance and steering bias.
Rear Axle Setup and Maintenance
The lightweight graphite rear axle works with eccentric composite inserts for rapid ride height changes. A ball differential with hardened steel balls and plates offers smooth, tunable slip and easy access for routine service, ensuring consistent track performance.
