Overview of the Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR
The Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR is a 1/8 scale, four-wheel-drive gas model made for track sessions and club racing. It ships ready-to-run with precision parts so you can focus on setup and fine tuning rather than assembly.
Stiff 6061T6 Aluminium Base
Built around a 3mm 6061T6 aluminium plate, the chassis features countersunk fasteners and angled edges to raise stiffness. A foam bumper helps absorb impacts while composite stiffeners control chassis flex for consistent cornering.
Durable Suspension and Steering Geometry
Heavy-duty suspension arms paired with composite uprights keep the suspension durable across rough laps. The spring steel axles and threaded aluminium wheel hubs ensure reliable wheel attachment, and a front anti-roll bar helps dial in understeer or oversteer.
Quality Big-Bore Dampers
Equipped with 16mm RCM big-bore shocks, the car uses anodized aluminium bodies and hardened shafts for longevity. Each progressive spring is checked for correct free length and preload to maintain balanced damping.
Reliable Gear Differentials and 2-Speed Box
The gear differentials use sintered metal gears on a hardened steel shaft inside sealed cases to keep lubrication in and dirt out. The SL8 XLI automatic two-speed gearbox, adapted from the Viper 990, provides smooth shifting under load.
Serpent Powerplant and Radio Setup
The Serpent S21 pull-start motor mounts to machined aluminium plates and delivers dependable running when tuned properly. A DragonRC DTS-3 2.4GHz radio provides precise inputs and the 15kg metal gear servo handles strong steering demands.
Ready-Out-Of-The-Box Body and Tires
The pre-painted low-profile GT body and large rear aero wing are supplied pre-cut for quick fitting. DragonRC GT tyres arrive premounted to save time and the colour manual covers recommended initial setup values.
