SRX8 GTE '23 Engineered for Precise Race Setups
The Serpent SRX8 GTE '23 1/8 4WD EP chassis kit offers a refined combination of lightness and accessible service points for racers aiming to extract consistent lap times. The design concentrates on controllable handling and quick adjustments between heats.
Hybrid Bulkhead Design for Weight Saving and Cooling
The hybrid bulkheads reduce mass while maintaining effective heat flow through the 7075-T6 pinion mount. This setup allows fast pinion changes and includes parts for adjusting differential height to aid a lower centre of gravity and sharper acceleration.
Chassis Extension That Improves Stability
An extra 2mm of wheelbase delivers improved stability through high speed sections and long turns. The refined base shape supports new pivot brackets and adds stiffness where gear mesh and wear resistance are most important.
Pre-Drilled Weight Positions for Balance Tuning
Pre-drilled locations for optional 25 gram weights at the front and rear make it straightforward to tweak mass distribution and adjust handling characteristics without major changes.
Accessible Split Centre Differential and Lighter Motor Plate
The split centre differential simplifies servicing and the reduced-mass motor mount improves weight distribution. This arrangement remains compatible with various battery and motor layouts for flexible packaging.
Flexible Gear Selection for Different Track Grip
Using V2 solid centre axle technology and supplied with a 44t nylon centre gear, the SRX8 GTE '23 accepts both plastic and steel gear options to suit traction and wear needs.
Tunable Steering and Suspension Components
Fully adjustable caster blocks and upgraded steering blocks give clear options to alter steering behaviour. Laser-etched guides help with repeatable geometry changes during practice and races.
Upgraded Shock Components for Better Control
New shock bodies, pistons, and shafts reduce internal friction and increase oil capacity, yielding more consistent damping and a broader tuning range for different circuits.
Durable Lightweight Construction for Racing Use
Components such as a lighter rear body mount, aluminium uprights, and adjustable flex arms ensure the SRX8 GTE '23 withstands race use while keeping weight low for improved responsiveness.
