Introduction to the Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR
The Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR is a 1/8 scale four-wheel-drive gas model engineered for competitive hobbyists. Delivered mostly assembled, it combines robust parts and straightforward setup for fast track preparation.
High-Strength 6061T6 Aluminium Chassis
The SRX8 GT features a 3mm 6061T6 aluminium chassis plate with countersunk fixings and angled sidewalls to enhance stiffness. A foam impact bumper is included and composite chassis braces help achieve consistent flex characteristics.
Precision Suspension and Steering Components
Durable oversized suspension arms and composite uprights protect against damage during hard use. Spring steel axles and alloy wheel hubs provide accurate wheel runout, while the front anti-roll bar and 10 degree steering blocks refine turn-in behaviour.
Performance Big-Bore Shock Absorbers
Fitted with 16mm RCM big-bore shocks, the car benefits from anodized aluminium shock bodies and hardened rods. The progressive, colour-coded springs are checked for correct length and preload to produce repeatable damping.
Sealed Gear Diffs with Two-Speed Gearbox
Gear differentials employ sintered metal gears on a hardened steel shaft in sealed cases to reduce contamination. The SL8 XLI automatic two-speed gearbox, adapted from the Viper 990, delivers smooth gear changes under acceleration.
S21 Engine and DragonRC Electronics
The Serpent S21 pull-start engine mounts to machined aluminium brackets for secure fitment. Steering is managed by a 15kg metal gear servo and the DragonRC DTS-3 2.4GHz transmitter gives reliable radio control for precise driving inputs.
Pre-Finished Bodywork and Premounted Racing Tyres
Includes a pre-painted and pre-cut ultra-low GT bodyshell plus a large rear aero wing for stability. DragonRC GT racing tyres come premounted, and the full-colour manual provides setup values and maintenance notes.
