Purpose Built Touring: The SRX8 GT TQ Overview
The Serpent SRX8 GT TQ presents a race-focused chassis for the 1/8 scale nitro touring class, pairing precision manufacturing with broad setup potential to suit varied circuits and driving styles.
Refined Gearbox for Consistent Delivery
The updated gearbox reduces rotational mass for crisper acceleration. A longer ramp reduces the risk of the second gear locking as parts wear, M4 setscrews help secure correct clearances, and the second gear bell uses dual bearings to keep rotation balanced under strain.
Precision Components for Setup Control
Aluminium uprights and carbon mounting parts make rolling centre and geometry adjustments straightforward. The adjustable GT clutch set is competition ready and works with the supplied steel bells or optional aluminium-coated bells. High-volume HTD diffs with Mod 1.25 internals offer improved engagement and reduced fade.
Chassis Geometry Optimised for Stability
Chassis width and clearance are arranged to control roll and enhance cornering efficiency. The front section complies with major racing rules and increases clearance for uneven surfaces. Major structural items are made from 7075-T6 alloy for rigidity and a precise fit.
Tuneable Suspension and Steering Layout
Vertical suspension adjustment enables changes to kick angle, anti-squat and roll centre position. The flat steering arrangement lowers centre of gravity for better turn-in, and multiple Ackermann plate choices let you tune steering behaviour to your taste.
Setups for Different Race Conditions
Four differential positions allow quick changes to traction bias for different grip levels. A symmetrical rear brace helps with predictable rear behaviour, the pre-drilled chassis accepts optional ballast, and the easy-access centre 2-speed assembly keeps maintenance fast at the track.
