SRX8 GT TQ: Redefining GT Nitro Performance
The Serpent SRX8 GT TQ brings race-oriented engineering to the 1/8 scale touring class, blending careful detailing with practical tuning options. This 4WD nitro kit focuses on repeatable setup and on-track consistency for drivers who refine their cars lap after lap.
Gearbox Design Focused on Driveability
The heart of the car is a low-inertia gearbox that improves throttle response and acceleration. A lengthened roller ramp prevents gear lock under wear, M4 setscrews let you keep precise clearances, and dual bearings in the second gear bell help steady rotation for smoother power transfer.
Hands-On Setup with Adjustable Hardware
The SRX8 GT TQ features aluminium uprights and carbon mounting brackets so you can move roll centers to match different circuits. The kit ships with an adjustable GT clutch set used in top events, and you can fit either steel or optional aluminium-coated clutch bells. High-volume HTD differentials with Mod 1.25 gears reduce fade while increasing usable engagement area.
Chassis Choices for Better Cornering
Chassis width and clearance have been tuned to limit body roll and keep cornering forces consistent. The front section meets common racing body rules, offering extra clearance for bumpy surfaces. Bulkheads, suspension brackets and center mounts are machined from 7075-T6 alloy for strength and precise fitment.
Suspension and Steering Tuned for Lap Time
Vertical suspension adjustability lets you fine tune kick angle, anti-squat and roll center height. A low-profile steering layout derived from the SRX8 lowers center of gravity for improved turn-in, and multiple Ackermann plates provide options to dial in steering feel.
Setup Versatility for Changing Track Conditions
Four differential mounting positions let you adapt traction balance for a variety of grip levels. The symmetrical rear brace improves stability, pre-drilled chassis mounting points accept optional ballast, and the accessible center 2-speed unit makes maintenance and gearing swaps straightforward.
