Serpent has announced the release of their new SRX8 Gen4 1:8 Nitro Buggy. Designed by Billy Easton, the Gen4 introduces a newly designed chassis and side pods which by reducing the overall width of the platform lowers the total vehicle weight, while creating a more compact and centralised layout. This approach results in a near-perfect left-to-right balance, improving consistency and predictability of the vehicle during demanding race conditions. Serpent say the narrower profile contributes to improved agility and responsiveness on the track, allowing the vehicle to feel more nimble and precise during high-speed cornering and direction changes. A major engineering advancement of the Serpent SRX8 Gen4 is the completely redesigned centre differential assembly. This new system was developed to address several key areas including serviceability, Differential performance, overall weight distribution, and braking feel. Based on feedback from racers using the previous SRX8 Pro platform, the development team focused on simplifying maintenance while improving the overall functionality and efficiency of the drive-train. With the Gen4 Serpent introduces the new Geo-Matrix Suspension Geometry System — a precision insert platform designed to deliver unmatched setup flexibility and repeatability. An all-new suspension bracket platform is designed to deliver reduced weight, increase durability and unmatched setup precision. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the new brackets feature, 7075-T6 lightweight design and are finished in durable black anodising with distinctive machined silver edges for a premium look and exceptional strength.
