Track-Ready Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR Overview
The Serpent 600062 SRX8 GT RTR is a 1/8 scale 4WD gas-powered model built for club racers and serious hobbyists. This RTR kit arrives largely assembled with high-quality components for quick setup and dependable track performance.
Engineered 6061T6 Aluminum Chassis
The SRX8 GT uses a 3mm 6061T6 aluminum chassis with countersunk fixings and tapered sides to boost torsional stiffness. A foam bumper is integrated for impact protection and composite chassis stiffeners tune the balance between rigidity and compliance.
Robust Suspension and Steering
Oversized suspension arms and composite uprights give the SRX8 GT resilience against hard landings and rough surfaces. Spring steel wheel axles and precision-threaded aluminum wheel hubs provide smooth wheel rotation, while the front anti-roll bar and 10 degree composite steering blocks sharpen handling response.
RCM Big-Bore Shock Technology
Fitted with RCM 16mm big-bore shocks, the SRX8 GT features anodized aluminum shock bodies and hardened shock rods. The colour-coded progressive race springs are inspected for correct length and tension to ensure consistent damping across different surfaces.
Sealed Gear Diffs and 2-Speed Transmission
Compact gear differentials use sintered metal gears and a hardened steel shaft in sealed housings for reliable operation. The automatic 2-speed SL8 XLI gearbox, derived from the Viper 990 design, delivers smooth power transitions on acceleration.
Serpent S21 Engine and Electronics
The Serpent S21 pull-start engine is mounted on machined aluminum mounts for secure fit and cooling clearance. Control comes from the DragonRC DTS-3 2.4GHz transmitter and a 15kg metal gear servo for sturdy steering force during aggressive driving.
Prepped Bodywork and Premounted Tires
Comes with a pre-painted, pre-cut ultra-low GT bodyshell and a large rear wing for aerodynamic stability. DragonRC GT racing tires arrive premounted for immediate dry-traction and the full-colour manual guides setup and initial adjustments.
