Track-Focused Design of the SRX8 GT TQ
The Serpent SRX8 GT TQ is engineered for drivers who prioritise setup and stability. This 1/8 scale 4WD nitro touring car brings a mix of precise machining and flexible tuning options to keep pace across different circuit surfaces.
Low Inertia Gearbox for Sharper Response
A redesigned gearbox lowers rotating mass to sharpen throttle response and improve launch. The extended ramp prevents second gear lock-up under wear, M4 setscrews allow secure gap control, and dual bearings on the second gear bell improve smoothness under load.
Fine Tuning with Durable Components
Adjustable aluminium uprights and carbon brackets enable roll-center and scrub adjustments to suit varied tracks. The supplied GT clutch set is race proven and supports steel or optional aluminium-coated bells. High-volume HTD diffs with Mod 1.25 gearing reduce fade and increase clutching area.
Chassis Layout That Favors Cornering
The chassis keeps a narrow stance to curb body roll while retaining good clearance for turning. Front geometry follows common race regs and raises clearance for uneven tracks. Key structural parts are 7075-T6 alloy for stiffness and long term durability.
Sophisticated Suspension and Steering Options
Vertical suspension adjustment covers kick angle, anti-squat and roll centre fine-tuning. A flat steering arrangement borrowed from the SRX8 lowers the centre of gravity and improves mid-corner stability. Multiple Ackermann settings provide a range of steering profiles.
Versatile Setup for Different Grip Levels
Four diff mounting positions let you target traction balance for slick or grippy surfaces. The symmetric rear brace helps keep rear-end predictability, the pre-drilled chassis accepts ballast weights, and the centre 2-speed assembly is easy to reach for quick gear changes.
