Serpent announced the new S120 Pro 1/12th scale pan car based on the F110 SF4. Designers wanted to create a racing car easy to work on and durable without sacrificing performance. New innovative design for the rear pod with side bearings in linear guides replacing the sidelinks.
With a traditional sidelink design, designers use long side links to have the relative roll movement between pod and chassis as linear as possible. But no matter how long the links are, there is always a longitudinal component in the roll motion.
