• Chassis:On the new SRX8GTE LWB ‘23 model we have extended the chassis an additional 29mm for use with all true to scale related RC Bodies. This places the wheel base at 259mm /- 2.5mm. Utilizing the additional wheel base, we were able to maximize the weight distribution for improved handling and a less compact more space friendly layout.
• Front/rear pivot bracket:The shape of the chassis 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.The rear shape has also been changed to better align the droop screw at the rear for better alignment with the arm. With small improvements on the chassis, you can gain slightly better overall performance, improve wear and have an easier time adjusting your gear mesh.
• All New Split Center Diff :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.
• New Light weight Rear Bodymount: In regards to the body mount we wanted to reduce weight while keeping it strong, but also durable at the same time.. We went with a light weight molded lower, and a carbon fiber upper. The hybrid concept again lives strong in this body mount. We also wanted to incorporate the ability to put rearward facing posts to prevent body tucks during racing.the SRX8GTE LWB ‘23 has been born purely with innovation, performance, reliability and ease of use in mind. This new body mount checked all the boxes.
• New Front/Rear Pivot:A much needed upgrade at the front end is the all new Front/Rear Pivot block and updated inserts. On the previous GT there was no way to simply adjust the pivot without removing the entire block. The design was changed to have 2 more inserts to further refine the Roll Center. In doing this it allows even more adjustment in finer increments.
