Chassis.
The rear section of the chassis was reinforced for less flex on-power, which increases the stability of the car and ensures more on-power control.

The new chassis was redesigned to fit both Soft and Hard composite radio boxes without modification.

The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity.

C-hub Suspension.
All-new front C-hub concept was redesigned and refined especially for GT platform. The GT C-hub suspension improves steering characteristics on and off-power and helps to reduce tire wear. The caster is now easily adjustable by changing bushings in the suspension arm.

The C-hub suspension features C-hubs with preset 16° caster as a great starting point for every track.

Shock Towers.
To accommodate the new GT C-hub suspension, the front shock tower was redesigned.

Machined from extra-thick premium-grade graphite, both shock towers are light weight and very strong. Front and rear shock towers include multiple shock positions as well as multiple roll center positions.

Shocks Absorbers.
Longer front & rear shock shafts are now +3mm longer for increased set-up possibilities and to allow more suspension travel.

The shock caps feature 4 bleed holes for easier building and more precise rebound control. Multiple shock membrane choices are available to tune the suspension to a wide variety of track conditions.

Oversized big-bore shocks featuring 16.2mm I.D. shock bodies are externally threaded with an adjustable collar for quick & easy spring preload adjustment. The shock bodies are hardcoated in a titanium color and feature a 1-piece alu shock cap.

Pinion Gear.
To improve drive train efficiency, the 13T pinion gears are now included for both front and rear bulkheads. Thanks to the higher 3.54:1 internal ratio, vehicle acceleration has also been improved.

2-Speed Carrier.
All-new alu carrier for 2-speed gear is made from a softer material for improved shifting consistency. The design of the carrier features new outer ribs for improved cooling. Machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum.

Brake System.
To improve the braking efficiency and to ensure constant braking characteristics, the ultra-efficient pre-glued brake pads are now included in the kit.

The laser-cut, precision flat-ground steel brake disk allows for fade-free braking in conjunction with the special high-grip brake pads installed on laser-cut steel backing plates.

The brake disk is small, slim, and very lightweight. The precision hand-grinding allows true, wobble-free rotation. Brake inputs are transferred precisely to the brakes thanks to the rigid, high-precision machined brake cams. Brake disk and brake pad backing plates are specially heat-treated for maximum lifespan.

Radio Box.
The GTX8 now includes the Hard composite radio box. The Hard material is more rigid at higher temperatures to improve the precision of servo movement and has more room for the receiver battery pack.

The optional Soft composite radio box increase chassis flex. This can help improve handling characteristics in some low- to medium-traction conditions.

The 1-piece electronics assembly is very compact and can be quickly & easily removed for servicing and cleaning. It requires removing only a few screws from the bottom of the chassis to remove the entire electronics assembly from the car.

Fuel Tank.
The GTX 150cc extra-large fuel tank was redesigned to comply with the new rules featuring the transient jet that ensures the internal volume of the fuel tank cannot be changed by adjusting the fuel line.

To comply with different race regulations, the design of the GTX8 chassis and fuel tanks allows the installation of either the included 150cc fuel tank or optional 125cc fuel tank.

The extra-strong fuel tank features an integrated floating stone filter that ensures that the fuel pickup will always be in the correct orientation, even if your car isn’t.

Internal baffles inside the fuel tank ensure that the fuel will always be in the area around the fuel line intake so even during large jumps the fuel will be constantly supplied to the engine.

Hex Hubs.
To accommodate the new suspension geometry, the kit now includes +2mm off-set both front and rear.

Ultra-lightweight 17mm wheel hex drive hubs are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 black-coated aluminum.

The alu hex hubs are specially machined to reduce rotating weight while guaranteeing wobble-free wheel mounting.

Ball-Bearings.
The drivetrain ball-bearings are now greased instead of oiled to maximize the lifespan of the ball-bearings, especially in dusty conditions. For increased reliability, the front and rear transmission ball-bearings as well the 2-speed ball-bearings feature metal shields.
