Overview of the Serpent SRX8-T for Serious Racing
In a crowded field of nitro truggies, the Serpent SRX8-T stands out by blending rugged construction with race-focused dynamics. The SRX8-T builds on the SRX8 lineage to give club and track drivers a durable, tunable chassis that handles aggressive driving and long race days.
Durable 7075-T6 Chassis for Track Abuse
The SRX8-T uses a 3mm 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum chassis that resists deformation while providing the right amount of flex. The tapered profile and wider footprint help keep dirt and debris away from critical components and improve overall stability on technical circuits.
Fixed Engine and Versatile Gear Options
The fixed engine/gear mesh system simplifies gear ratio changes without moving the motor, letting you switch between 13 and 14-tooth clutch bells and 46 to 48-tooth spur gears to suit different layouts. This arrangement reduces drivetrain stress and helps manage engine temperature for longer consistent runs.
Suspension That Lets You Tune Grip
New heavy-duty suspension arms provide a broad range of adjustment. Adding carbon fibre plates lets you increase arm stiffness to tune bite and handling for varying track surfaces, giving racers clear setup choices for lap time improvements.
High-Volume Diffs and a Proven Clutch
Large Mod 1.25 internal differential gears improve tooth engagement and shear strength, reducing fade under load. Matched with a tried-and-true 4-shoe clutch, the SRX8-T delivers predictable power transfer needed in close racing situations.
