Slimline Magnesium Chassis Built for SRX8 GT

The Serpent 601146 SRX8 GT Magnesium Chassis is aimed at hobbyists who prioritise a light, responsive platform. Fabricated from magnesium, it reduces bulk to make the car feel more lively and easier to place on the racing line.

Why Magnesium Suits Racing

As one of the lightest structural metals, magnesium helps lower the centre of gravity and overall mass. Fitting this magnesium chassis results in a 102 gram drop in weight compared to stock parts, which supports quicker direction changes and improved mid-corner balance.

On-Track Improvements

Material: Magnesium combines low mass with sufficient rigidity for competitive use.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for the SRX8 GT chassis layout.
Weight Reduction: 102 grams lighter than the original configuration.
Enhanced Handling: Lighter chassis improves turn-in and transient response.

Is special preparation required before fitting the magnesium chassis?

Clean mating surfaces and confirm screw compatibility. Light deburring of holes may be needed, but no major machining is normally required for SRX8 GT installations.

Will electronics need repositioning after the swap?

Most electronics fit the same footprint, but double-check battery and servo clearances since the lower weight and chassis profile can change balance and space.

How should I care for a magnesium chassis?

Wipe clean after use and avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive substances. Regular inspection of mounting points will help maintain fit and performance.
