The Serpent SRX8-T delivers a rugged platform aimed at rougher track conditions and enthusiastic drivers. Drawing on the SRX8 family strengths, this truggy balances toughness and adaptable setup options so you can get the most from each lap.
At the core of the SRX8-T is a 3mm 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium chassis that handles the knocks of off-road use while offering useful clearance. The wider, tapered design helps reduce debris buildup and keeps the centre of mass stable through corners.
The fixed engine/gear mesh arrangement makes swapping gear ratios straightforward, with options like 13 to 14-tooth clutch bells and 46 to 48-tooth spur gears. This setup improves acceleration control and lowers mechanical stress on the motor during hard runs.
New heavy-duty suspension arms provide a wide tuning window. Adding carbon fibre plates changes arm stiffness so you can dial in grip levels for looser or grippier surfaces, helping you find the right balance between roll and traction.
The SRX8-T uses large Mod 1.25 internal gears in its differentials to improve strength and maintain consistent engagement. Combined with a 4-shoe clutch system, this gives reliable power delivery under varied race conditions.
For hobbyists who face mixed track surfaces, the Serpent SRX8-T offers a sturdy base and a wide tuning range. Its focus on durability and adjustability makes it a sensible upgrade for weekend racers.
