Convert Your SRX GTE to a Long Wheelbase Layout

The Serpent 601086 conversion lets you change the SRX GTE from SWB to LWB without replacing the whole car. This modification enhances longitudinal balance and reduces nervous behavior in fast corners, giving a more planted ride for higher speed sections. The kit includes the parts you need to complete the conversion cleanly.

Benefits of Running a Longer Wheelbase

Moving to a long wheelbase shifts how the car reacts mid-corner and on exit, often smoothing transitions and improving straight-line stability. For drivers adapting to larger tracks or faster layouts, the LWB setup can make lap times more consistent while keeping setup options flexible.

Key Kit Contents

  • Compatibility: Specifically matched to the Serpent SRX GTE platform.
  • Stable Handling: Extends wheelbase to increase directional stability and control.
  • All-Inclusive Set: Contains the components required to perform the conversion.

Is this a reversible change?

Yes, the conversion swaps mounting points and hardware; with care you can revert to SWB by reinstalling the original components if you kept them.

Will setup settings change after conversion?

Expect to retune roll center, shock lengths and possibly toe; the LWB alters balance so small setup tweaks will help dial in the handling.

What tools will I need?

Standard RC hand tools like hex drivers, pliers and a small socket set are usually sufficient. No specialised machinery is required for the swap.

Will changing to LWB affect tyre wear?

Tyre wear patterns can shift slightly due to altered weight distribution; monitor wear and adjust camber and toe as needed to optimise tyre life.
