About the SRX8GT R

The Serpent SRX8GT R represents a major leap forward in nitro GT performance, focusing on one goal — ultimate speed. Developed with the expertise of Andrea and Roberto Catanzani, this kit refines the GT ‘23 platform with an all-updated in-line drivetrain, optimized chassis flex, and precision geometry for sharper handling. Every update works in harmony to deliver smoother power delivery, faster acceleration, and incredible cornering stability.
Precision-Tuned Suspension System
With redesigned geometry, updated suspension brackets, and adjustable flex arms, the SRX8GT R offers unmatched setup versatility. Drivers can fine-tune roll center, camber gain, and toe to suit any track or grip level. The aluminum uprights with carbon brackets and proven high-volume shocks ensure consistent handling, improved tire wear, and predictable response through every turn.
Efficient Power Transmission
The updated 2-speed gearbox, ultra-stiff bulkheads, and heavy-duty driveshafts combine to maximize drivetrain efficiency and reliability. Adjustable differential and pinion heights allow racers to fine-tune traction, while the proven HTD high-volume differentials maintain performance under extreme loads. The adjustable GT clutch delivers smooth, explosive power for faster launches and higher top speeds

I just received this kit and the gasket that came with it was torn and falling a part. Adam with Amain contacted Serpent of America and they got me a gasket quickly. I finished the build and I must say, this car is a work of technological art. I can't wait to get it out on the road. Thanks again for Amain for their great customer service!
