Serpent SRX8GTE R 1:8 Electric GT

Following the release of its SRX8GT R 1:8 GT Nitro Car ahead of the IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championships in Chile, Serpent has now released the R version of the electric SRX8GTE. The R is the culmination of contributions from World Championship Top Qualifier Andrea Catanzani and his father, Roberto. Serpent has designed a new flat chassis based on the new IFMAR/EFRA rules and to enhance the flex characteristics, the new chassis is 4mm thick in most areas and is designed without side dams. It offers the ideal flex for a race car that is both fast and easy to handle. To still have the advantage of the kickup suspension Serpent designed a special front adaptor to keep the same front bulkheads and c-hubs. They have saved 53 grams (adaptor included) on the previous chassis. An optional carbon chassis with distinct flex characteristics will be available to enhance performance on specific tracks. This save 61 grams on the aluminium chassis with the adaptor included. Perhaps the most significant advancement of the R platform comes from the revised geometry. In addition to adjustments in the roll centre roll centre migration, and camber change, the narrower track width stands out as the most noticeable modification. Another key aspect is the altered relationship between wheel and shock movement. Specific to the Electric chassis Serpent has updated the Split centre diff design and improved the motor mount. With the existing slide system and 1 screw holding already being a great staple, we kept that the same. However, the motor mount’s shape has been also changed to accept the new split diff and has been lightened in the process to reduce weight.
