Serpent SRX8-GTe 600058: Precision Touring Car for Tuners
For racers focused on lap time and setup, the Serpent SRX8-GTe 600058 delivers a refined electric touring platform. Crafted for precision handling and a wide tuning window, this chassis is aimed at serious drivers who prioritise adjustability and consistent performance.
Robust Chassis Design and Materials
The SRX8-GTe uses a 7075-T6 aluminum chassis plate chosen for its strength and low weight, giving the car resilience under race conditions. The chassis geometry features a controlled kick-up angle that meets ROAR and IFMAR guidance, improving clearance and stability during heavy braking zones.
Tuning Range That Matches Club Demands
Adjustability is a key focus, with front kick-up and rear anti-squat that can be dialled in precisely. Roll centre height is adjustable via dedicated RC shims, letting drivers refine balance and responsiveness to suit changing track grip.
Aluminium Bulkheads and Drivetrain Choices
Borrowing from Serpent racing heritage, the SRX8-GTe includes full aluminium bulkheads and suspension brackets for a durable, predictable layout. The car offers easy-access gear options and uses a lightweight spool in place of a centre differential to prioritise direct power on grippy surfaces.
Tight, Responsive Steering Layout
The flat steering arrangement reduces center of gravity and limits body roll for crisper corner entry. A secure 7075-T6 aluminum servo mount keeps the steering input accurate and repeatable lap after lap.
Suspension Setup for Consistent Grip
The symmetric suspension design balances chassis flex across the top deck and bulkheads to control handling characteristics. Adjustable sway bars and pivot-ball mounts allow racers to fine-tune bite and rotation based on track conditions.
