Chassis:On the new SRX8GTE ‘23 model we have extended the chassis an additional 2mm for improved handling. This places the wheel base at 330mm +/- 2.5mm. In addition to the improved handing, there is now more space between the batteries and the motor shaft and pinion. The shape has also been updated to accept our new front/rear pivot bracket as well as increase strength at the narrow area at the front bend.
Mountable Chassis Weights: The SRX8GTE ‘23 chassis comes equipped with holes pre drilled into the chassis for optional weights. At Serpent we understand the need for being able to adjust the weight distribution of your racing machine. This SRX8GTE ‘23 will be no exception as you can add a 25-gram weight to the front and/or rear. The weights will be sold as optional's but the chassis is ready to accept them.
All New Split Center Diff : Since the very beginning of the SRX8-E, SRX8T-E, and then ultimately the SRX8GTE we had a well designed and universal center diff and motor mount. Now the time has come to improve on an already great design. With easier access to the center diff, no matter the configuration, less overall parts and lower maintenance times the all new center diff mount was born.You can still use any battery layout and motor layout as you did before, but now the assembly process has been updated. The weight has also been reduced slightly on the mount and also the mountable sides.
Lighter Motor Mount and Slide: When we updated the Split center diff design we also had to change the design of the already reliable 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.
A 44t nylon gear is included into the kit, but you also have 36t, 38t, 40t and 42t plastic gears to choose from that all fit the SRX8GTE ‘23. In addition to those plastic gears you will also be able to fit 36t, 38t, 40t, 42t and 44t Steel versions for super high traction applications like drag racing or where more durability is needed.
