Revolutionizing GT Racing: The Serpent SRX8 GT TQ
The Serpent SRX8 GT TQ is not just another addition to the world of RC racing; it represents a leap forward in design and performance. Known for its innovation and attention to detail, Serpent has once again raised the bar with this 1/8 scale 4WD nitro-powered touring car, tailored for those who demand peak performance on the track.
Advanced Engineering for Unmatched Performance
At the heart of the SRX8 GT TQ lies a newly designed gearbox that reduces inertia, thereby enhancing acceleration. This innovative gearbox includes a longer ramp for the roller, preventing the second gear from locking even under excessive wear. The integration of M4 setscrews ensures consistent gap adjustments, while dual bearings in the second gear bell enhance rotational balance. These features collectively contribute to a more reliable and consistent racing experience.
Precision Tuning with Adjustable Components
The SRX8 GT TQ offers unparalleled customization with its aluminum uprights and carbon brackets, allowing racers to adjust roll-center positions to match any track condition. Additionally, the kit includes an adjustable GT clutch set, proven at international competitions, featuring both steel and optional aluminum-coated clutch bells. The inclusion of high-volume HTD differentials, with Mod 1.25 internal gears, delivers superior performance by minimizing fade and maximizing engagement surface.
Optimized Chassis Design for Superior Handling
With a focus on chassis width and corner clearance, the SRX8 GT TQ maintains a narrow profile to control body roll and maximize cornering force. The front chassis adheres to ROAR and IFMAR regulations, increasing clearance for various track conditions. Fully aluminum bulkheads, suspension brackets, and center mounts are crafted from 7075-T6 alloy, ensuring durability and a sleek appearance.
Innovative Suspension and Steering Systems
The SRX8 GT TQ's suspension system is vertically adjustable, offering fine-tuning capabilities for kick angle, anti-squat, and roll center height. The flat steering system, adapted from the SRX8 series, lowers the car's center of gravity and enhances cornering efficiency. With multiple Ackermann plate options, drivers can tailor steering response to their preferences.
Comprehensive Adjustability for Competitive Edge
This model features four adjustable differential positions, allowing racers to optimize performance across varying grip conditions. The symmetrical rear brace design enhances handling, while the pre-drilled chassis accommodates optional weights for precise weight distribution adjustments. The easy-access center 2-speed assembly simplifies maintenance and setup, ensuring maximum performance during races.
