Serpent SRX8GTE WC 1/8th electric GT kit

Serpent have introduced their new SRX8GTE WC 1/8th scale electric GT kit. The SRX8GTE WC is based on the SRX8GTE that has proven its great potential at the World Championships in Miami this January. The WC kit shares many high performance parts from the successful SRX8 platform and in addition to the details carried over from the SRX8, Serpent have introduced many new design concepts to push the SRX8GTE WC well into the future. Included in the SRX8GTE WC kit are the new HTD diffs – these were also used by the team at the Worlds. The internal gears are a staggering Mod 1.25 which puts them at the largest in the market place. With a maximum engagement surface on the tooth for earth shattering oil shearing, the larger volume housing of the differentials reduce any fading or loss of performance in long mains. The internal ratio is an industry-standard 10T/20T. Also new on the SRX8GTE WC are the aluminium uprights with carbon brackets to have access to an increased amount of roll centre positions, coving virtually every track condition. Last but not least come new front and rear shock towers that will be used without the shock brackets on the wishbones, ensuring an optimised suspension geometry. The kits will ship from the 23rd of August.
