SRX8GT R: Evolved for Circuit Speed

The Serpent SRX8GT R takes the SRX8GT '23 concept and sharpens it for quicker lap times. Input from Andrea and Roberto Catanzani drove revisions across suspension and transmission areas, improving the car's adjustability while keeping proven GT '23 fundamentals intact.

Efficient In-line Powertrain and Redesigned Chassis

Key to the package is the in-line drivetrain which optimises power delivery. To fit this layout the chassis was redesigned as a 4mm composite plate, delivering usable flex without side dams. An optional 3mm chassis is offered for crews needing an alternate flex character.

Adjustable Geometry for Better Balance

Suspension geometry has been reworked with a narrower track and modified roll centre interactions to aid rotation and mid-corner grip. New mounting brackets broaden setup possibilities, letting tuners tweak parameters like inboard toe and anti-squat to dial in balance.

Refined Gearbox and Stronger Bulkheads

The 2-speed shaft now accepts weighted shoes for improved shift timing and steady engagement, with extra clips added to limit gearbox lock-ups. Bulkheads are produced from carbon-filled ultra-stiff composite, while aluminium options are available for different stiffness tuning.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/8
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Engine Type: Nitro Powered
  • Chassis Material: 4mm Composite
  • Suspension: Adjustable Geometry
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 150cc

With its combination of drivetrain efficiency and broad setup range, the Serpent SRX8GT R appeals to tuners and club racers who want a platform that adapts to different track surfaces.

Use the new suspension brackets to incrementally adjust anti-squat settings, then test on a warm track to see the effect on traction under acceleration.
This model is supplied as a kit that requires assembly and selection of engine and electronics, allowing full specification control for racers.
Start with medium-compound slicks suitable for your track surface and focus on roll centre and toe adjustments before experimenting with softer or harder compounds.
Yes, fitting the weighted shoe options and fine-tuning shoe mass and engagement settings will help achieve faster, more consistent gear changes.
Inspect gears, shafts and bulkheads after each race day for wear or play, and replace worn parts to maintain reliable transmission efficiency.
