Magnesium Chassis Overview for SRX8 GT

The Serpent 601146 SRX8 GT Magnesium Chassis is targeted at enthusiasts seeking a lighter, more reactive platform. Crafted from magnesium, the chassis lowers the car mass and helps deliver a sharper feel through technical sections.

Why Use Magnesium in Chassis Parts

Magnesium ranks among the lightest practical metals for RC applications and retains enough stiffness for competitive use. Replacing stock parts with this magnesium chassis results in a 102 gram weight reduction, aiding quicker direction changes and improved traction control under acceleration.

Practical Benefits on Circuit

  • Compatibility: Built specifically for the SRX8 GT chassis architecture.
  • Weight Reduction: 102 grams less than the original assembly.
  • Enhanced Handling: Lower mass helps with sharper steering and improved responsiveness.
Yes, minor setup changes such as shock damping and ride height may be beneficial to balance the lighter chassis and extract improved handling.
Routine cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals will keep magnesium parts in good condition. Inspect fixing points regularly to ensure longevity.
The 102 gram saving can contribute to better acceleration and cornering, but measurable lap time gains depend on driver skill, tyre choice and overall setup.
