INTRODUCTION
Serpent developed the S120 LTR model car for demanding racers in the highly competitive electric 1/12th scale pan car market, which like all our previous cars, has been designed to win straight from the box. Featuring a number of very effective features such as a fully adjustable front end, machined aluminium rear pod, side-links combined with ball-link tube-system to control chassis roll and grip, top-mounted shockabsorber, quick and easy tweak adjustment and top quality materials throughout, the S120–LTR should see you in the winners circle in no time. In fact everything associated with this car is of the highest quality, from the packaging and supplied manuals, right through to the product and race support.
