Seht selbst.

Englische Version

The SRX8-GTe LWB is the all new electric car is based off the high level of
performance experienced in the SRX8-GTE and proven durability of the SRX8 line
of cars. With Balance and speed in mind we opted for the saddle layout, which
opened up many additional advantages in the design and performance on the
track. Additionally speaking, the SRX8-GTe LWB benefits from a vast assortment
of high performance options already available for SRX8 line of vehicles. This new
model racing car is no different than many of our latest releases; we innovate at
every opportunity and push the industry to new heights. With the highest quality
materials, our plastics and metals simply can’t be beat. Our designs can be copied,
but our quality can’t!!!!

When it comes to road course racing, chassis width and corner clearance is huge,
this controls the lean and body roll in all directions. In addition to that, the roll
and lean angles ultimately control the maximum cornering force. We kept the
chassis the narrowest in nature that was possible, while increasing the corner
clearance. However, we took it another step further. We pioneered the front of
the chassis to adhere to the ROAR and IFMAR rules of a minimum kick-up angle,
while increases clearance, for curbs, uneven track and under heavy braking. This
also allows for a nice mounting surface and easy to find body posts as they will be
facing fully vertical. All these great design concepts are nicely nestled in a 7075-t6
aluminum alloy chassis. This chassis will take the abuse and stand the test of time.

As mentioned above there are some new adjustments, but some old ones as well.
The 7075-T6 brackets also allow you to fully adjust the front kick-up 0,0.5,1,1.5
and 2 degree increments. The rear anti-squat is no different as you can adjust that
from 1,1.5,2,2.5,3 degrees, and the Toe-in adjustment can be made,
2,2.5,2.75,3,3.25,3.5 and 4 degrees using the inserts provided in the kit.

Not only can you adjust the toe, anti-squat and kick angle, why not throw in Roll
Center height adjustments as well. We spare no expense when it comes to
performance and this SRX8-GTe LWB is no exception. We have also added new RC
shims to adjust the roll center at 1 and 2 mm off the chassis plate. This allows you
to fine tune your kick angle, anti-squat and Roll center height further than ever
before. We understand winning is an addiction and to be honest, with all these
features, nothing will stand in your way.

A carry over from our Nitro on road heritage, the GT program was upgraded with
fully aluminum bulkheads and suspension brackets, additionally the SRX8-E
Center diff mount, Motor Mount and motor mount slide. All these components
are included in the kit and made from 7075-T6. They are black anodized with
Silver shiny edges, how stylish is that? The looks are 2nd to no other brand, even if
other companies have jumped on the band wagon, you can be proud you
purchased the original trend setting style.

The next few items are sure to blow away the competition and to further
establish the Serpent brand as an innovator. The SRX8-GT will be the first to come
with not only 4 adjustable diff positions, but it will also come with easy access
differentials. The 4 adjustment positions will allow the racer to fine to his model
race car from the lowest grip, all the way to the highest grip conditions. Both the
front and rear bulkheads share the same Diff inserts, and pinion holders, to
minimize extra parts and to maximize your racing fun. The differentials both front
and rear can be removed and replaced in a matter of seconds. This gives you no
reason not to freshen them up, fine tune or rebuild your differential.

To deliver the power to the ground the center differential was removed and
replaced with a super light weight spool. Whether you are on a high grip track and
need maximum acceleration, or want to do some sick drifting in the street, we are
sure you will really enjoy this upgrade. The spool adapts the SRX8-E’s 44 tooth
Module 1 spur gear, so it will accept all popular brands of pinion gears.

Being involved with the Gt category from almost the beginning, Serpent has
understood the direction and path necessary to produce a race winning car. The
SRX8-GTe was a collaborated effort of many individuals dedicated to the Serpent
Brand. Working tirelessly on new concepts, suspension geometry, product
assembly and durability, our team was able to create an absolute monster of a
product. The SRX8-GTe LWB has innovations at virtually every corner, while being
one of the easiest cars we have ever produced to work on. Here at Serpent we are
extremely proud of the SRX8-GTe and have taken great pride in the design, from
top to bottom. We didn’t just want to make a new car, we wanted to make a new
car that simply changed the game. If you’re looking for sheer performance and
quality in one product, look no further the SRX8-GTe LWB is the one for you, this
product is simply rivaled by no-one.
