SRX8 GTE '23 Chassis Built for Handling Precision
The Serpent SRX8 GTE '23 1/8 4WD EP chassis kit is crafted to deliver focused handling and straightforward adjustability for track use. The package emphasises balance and service-friendly features so racers can optimise corner speed and consistency.
Hybrid Bulkheads That Lower Mass and Move Heat Away
The hybrid bulkhead architecture cuts down weight while keeping effective heat transfer at the 7075-T6 pinion mount. This layout eases pinion adjustments and comes with parts for differential height setup to help keep the centre of gravity low.
Wheelbase Extension for More Predictable Turns
The chassis gains 2mm of wheelbase to improve composure through corners. The reshaped base accepts upgraded pivot brackets and adds reinforcement where wear and gear mesh adjustments are critical.
Modular Weight Plating to Tune Balance
Pre-drilled holes let you fit optional 25 gram weights front and rear so you can shift the balance to suit different tracks. That modularity helps fine-tune handling for smoother lap-to-lap performance.
Accessible Centre Diff and Compact Motor Bracket
The split centre differential design makes routine service quicker and the lighter motor mount helps centralise mass. The arrangement supports varied battery and motor placements for flexible packaging choices.
Gearing Choices for Changing Track Grip
Equipped with V2 solid centre axle tech and a 44t nylon centre gear, the SRX8 GTE '23 accepts multiple plastic and steel gears to match traction levels and racing conditions.
Adjustable Suspension and Steering for Accurate Setup
Adjustable caster blocks and upgraded steering blocks allow precise adjustments to steering geometry. Laser etched marks assist rapid and repeatable setting changes between runs.
Improved Shock Components for Tunable Response
New shock bodies, pistons, and shafts reduce friction and raise shock volume, delivering a wider tuning range and more consistent damping on varied surfaces.
Strong Yet Light Framework
Features like a lighter rear body mount, aluminium uprights, and adjustable flex arms keep the SRX8 GTE '23 resilient under race duty while avoiding unnecessary weight penalties.
