Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The new Genius GTC8.23 is a technological evolution of the previous GTC8.

Wheelbase - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The new central transmission, in the GTC8.23,  improves the balance of weights, which are better distributed with respect to the geometric center of the model car. This improvement makes the model car more stable in corners.

Rear up-right - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

We are introducing a new rear hub with a pivot ball system which makes it easier to adjust toe and consequently track width. This important evolution allows to continuously adjust the toe without changing the pitch of the model car. We have also added a new Ackermann position which helps in low grip situations.

Central brake  - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

New large central brake with hexagonal drag. This new position improves the self-centering of the brake disc providing more effective and constant brakingcompared to the previous version.

Radio plate - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

Completely redesigned radio plate to allow easier installation and to be more ergonomic. The new lowered configuration is designed to simplify all brake, accelerator and steering anchorages. The new large receiver box is positioned in the center of the servos to optimize the passage of cables and connections.

Chassis - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The design of the new chassis is based on flex and torsion. As can be seen, the chassis is symmetrical in terms of lightening, creating an important cooling effectdue to the passage of air.

Front bulkhead - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

We have introduced a new quick system release of the differential from the front castle, this self-centering system facilitates the adjustment of the bevel gear and allows you to raise and lower the differential by 3 mm. With this innovation greatly facilitates disassembly, reassembly and calibration operations, improving the smoothness of the bevel gear.

Central bulkhead - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The battery housing position is independent of the radio plate and any other mechanical part of the model car. In this position the battery does not affect the torsion and flex of the chassis and the low position of the battery helps the weight center of the model car.

Low gravity profile - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

One of the design goals of the GTC8.23 was to make the whole chassis have an extremely low center of gravity, to make the car even easier to drive.

Rear shocks - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The new rear shock tower features lowered housings for the shock absorbers and body support.

Renfrorcement - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The front/rear stiffening system of the GTC8.23 has been completely revised and redesigned. The new stiffening system allows the model to twist but not flex as the spacers are perfectly adjustable and centralised.

Front shocks - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

The new front shock tower features lowered housings for the shock absorbers and body support.

Adjust Caster - Genius XR4.22

Front hub with track width adjustment via pivot ball. Possibility of King Ping angle adjustment.

BDS - Genius GTC8.23 Nitro

BDS - Genius GTC8.23 

We introduce an absolute novelty in the 1:8 GT segment. A central ball drive system called BDS (Ball Drive Shaft). This ball system increases the smoothness of the whole transmission. This technique already tested by our team in the 1:5 category turns out to be the best solution in terms of performance and durability.

Bushing Systems - Genius GTC8.23 

The new square adj. roll center bushings are much more intuitive and simple and have two positions: one central and one offset by 1.5 mm. This makes it possible to adjust the height arms in three positions (low, central, high).

Rear bulkhead - Genius GTC8.23 

We have introduced a new quick system release of the differential from the rear castle, this self-centering system facilitates the adjustment of the bevel gear and allows you to raise and lower the differential by 3 mm. With this innovation greatly facilitates disassembly, reassembly and calibration operations, improving the smoothness of the bevel gear.
