Description
Overview
The Corally SSX-125 Carbon Edition (00105-C) is Team Corally's flagship 1/12 scale on-road competition pan car kit, engineered in Belgium for serious carpet and asphalt racing. Building on Team Corally's decades of championship-winning pan car heritage, the SSX-125 represents a ground-up modern redesign focused on ultra-low center of gravity, advanced tuning options, and razor-sharp cornering performance — the kind of platform that wins club races and national-level events alike.
This particular kit ships with the 2.5mm high-quality carbon fiber chassis plate, precision-machined with strategically placed cutouts that optimize the balance between flex and rigidity. The carbon chassis delivers a nimble, responsive driving feel that rewards aggressive, technical drivers. Either chassis option pairs with a comprehensive package of pro-level components: a friction-based rear pod damper system that eliminates the traditional center shock, repositioning mass toward the rear for a dramatically lower CG; adjustable carbon side braces with aluminum posts that let you tailor lateral chassis flex to track conditions; an adjustable Ackermann steering system for fine-tuning steering feel; and a floating servo mount that minimizes interference with chassis flex.
Designed for 1S LiPo power and mini-sized servos (the standard for 1/12 pan car competition), the SSX-125 features a 93×47mm battery tray with O-ring mounting, eccentric plastic ride-height bushings for quick and precise adjustments, a solid rear axle for predictable power transfer on high-grip surfaces, and pre-cut access holes in the chassis for hassle-free pit-lane setup changes. The kit includes a 64DP, 90T spur gear and supports a wide range of 64DP pinion gears for gear-ratio fine-tuning. Whether you're a club-level competitor stepping up from a stock setup or a podium-chasing modified-class racer, the SSX-125 Carbon Edition offers the chassis, geometry, and tuning depth to elevate your lap times and unlock your driving potential on the modern 1/12 scene.
Key Features

- Adjustable Ackermann steering (two-screw system)
- Floating servo mount for mini-sized servos
- Included Kimbrough servo saver
- Lightweight, maintenance-free solid rear axle

- 64DP, 90T spur gear included; 64DP pinion gear options available
- Honeycomb front bumper for impact absorption
- Pre-cut chassis access holes for fast pit-lane maintenance
Performance Benefits
- Exceptional cornering speed: The ultra-low center of gravity and rear-biased mass distribution let the SSX-125 carry far more speed through corners than conventional pan car designs, particularly on high-grip carpet.
- Surgical steering precision: The adjustable Ackermann system, floating servo mount, and rigid front-end geometry combine to deliver razor-sharp turn-in response with predictable mid-corner behavior.
- Adaptable to any track surface: Adjustable chassis flex via the side braces, tunable rear damper preload, and ride-height eccentrics let you transform the car for bumpy outdoor asphalt, smooth indoor carpet, or anything in between.
- Race-day repeatability: Solid axle simplicity eliminates ball-diff inconsistency, while the friction damper provides the same response lap after lap — critical for podium-level consistency.
- Carbon-specific advantage: The 2.5mm carbon plate is lighter and more responsive than aluminum, giving the car a livelier, more reactive feel on technical, high-grip layouts.
- Long competitive lifespan: Premium materials and replaceable wear components mean a single SSX-125 chassis can serve you across many seasons of racing.
Usage Notes
- Surface compatibility: The SSX-125 is designed for smooth, high-grip surfaces — carpet, polished concrete, or sealed asphalt. It is not intended for outdoor or off-road use.
- Tire selection: Team Corally Attack Racing foam tires (30, 32, or 35 shore) are recommended; match shore hardness to track grip — softer compounds for low-grip surfaces, harder for high-grip carpet.
- Battery installation: Use a standard 93×47mm 1S LiPo and secure it with the O-ring system; verify polarity before powering on.
- Motor recommendations: 6.5T Vulcan II for Modified class racing; 13.5T or 17.5T for Stock class compliance — verify your local club's class rules before competing.
- Gear ratio tuning: Start with the included 90T spur and adjust pinion size to balance acceleration vs. top speed for your specific track length; monitor motor temps to avoid burning out the motor.
- Chassis flex adjustment: Loosen the carbon side brace top screws for more lateral flex on bumpy or low-grip surfaces; keep them tight for snap-quick corner exits on high-grip surfaces.
- Rear damper tuning: Adjust top-nut spring preload for ride height; experiment with different greases or damper fluids on the O-ring to fine-tune rear damping characteristics.
- Servo selection: Use a high-speed mini-sized servo (standard 1/12 spec); ensure proper centering for balanced left/right steering response.
- Maintenance: Inspect side springs, eccentric bushings, and pivot points after every event; clean foam tires regularly to preserve grip.
