SRX8 GTE '23 Designed for Quick Setup and Durability
The Serpent SRX8 GTE '23 1/8 4WD EP chassis kit focuses on practical race-day serviceability and a light, stiff platform. The design supports straightforward changes so competitors can optimise their car between heats.
Reduced Mass Hybrid Bulkheads with Good Heat Pathing
Hybrid bulkheads reduce overall weight while retaining effective heat transfer through the 7075-T6 pinion mount. The configuration simplifies pinion adjustments and includes components for differential height tuning to help lower the centre of gravity.
Extended Base for Better High Speed Stability
The 2mm longer chassis improves stability at speed and through sweeping corners. The new chassis contour accepts improved pivot brackets and reinforces high-stress areas for longer service life and simpler gear mesh changes.
Optional Weight Positions for Setup Flexibility
Pre-drilled chassis locations allow installers to add 25 gram weights front and rear, enabling targeted adjustments to handling balance without major rebuilds.
Accessible Centre Diff and Lighter Motor Mount
The split centre differential is easier to service and the lightweight motor mount helps centralise mass. This assembly works with various battery and motor configurations for layout flexibility.
Multiple Gear Choices for Surface Variation
Built around V2 solid centre axle technology, the SRX8 GTE '23 comes with a 44t nylon gear and accepts a range of plastic and steel gears to match grip and wear conditions.
Steering and Suspension Tunability
Fully adjustable caster blocks together with upgraded steering blocks let drivers fine tune steering feel. Laser etched marks make repeatable adjustments fast and accurate.
Enhanced Dampers for Broad Tuning Range
New shock bodies, pistons, and shafts lower friction and increase oil capacity for smoother operation and a broader set of damping choices to suit different tracks.
Lightweight Components with Racing Strength
Features such as a lighter rear body mount, aluminium uprights, and adjustable flex suspension arms keep the SRX8 GTE '23 strong while reducing unnecessary weight for better on-track performance.
