Performance upgrades packed into the Serpent SRX8 GT '23
The Serpent SRX8 GT '23 integrates targeted improvements to make setup faster and on-track behaviour more predictable. This 600066 kit emphasises lower mass and easier adjustment for serious hobbyists.
Advanced hybrid bulkheads
The hybrid bulkheads balance stiffness and weight saving, improving heat transfer and enabling straightforward pinion height tweaks for better gear life.
Reduced-mass rear mount
The carbon topped rear body mount lowers weight and keeps strength, while supporting rearward-facing posts to reduce chances of body snag during heavy cornering.
Serviceable radio compartment
The radio compartment is reworked for minimal weight and maximum access to the transponder and servos, aiding quick changes between heats.
Adjustable caster in precise steps
Caster can be dialled from 0 to 10 degrees in 2.5 degree increments with etched indicators for repeatable setup and better steering control.
Updated shock arrangement
Shocks now use a larger internal volume and low friction parts, switching to a 3.5 mm shaft and Delrin pistons to enhance damping consistency.
Durable, near-symmetrical chassis layout
The chassis keeps proven cues while moving to a near-symmetrical form to control flex, and pre-drilled weight locations make ballast changes straightforward.
Lightweight hollow two-speed shaft
The new hollow two-speed shaft lowers rotating mass for quicker engine response and reduced wear, with captured pins preventing lost fasteners.
Customisable differential positions
Four diff settings provide a wide tuning window, and shared inserts simplify parts management when doing rebuilds.
