Serpent Cobra 1/8 Nitro Buggy Performance Overview
The Serpent 600003NT Cobra Buggy brings serious 1/8 scale nitro capability to experienced drivers. This RTR model ships without a transmitter and arrives ready to tune, featuring the trusted Novarossi pullstart engine for reliable power and simple starting on race day.
Engineered for Strength and Track Abuse
The Cobra's backbone is a 3mm 7075 T6 aluminum chassis that gives the buggy a stiff, resilient platform for hard landings and bumpy tracks. The front kick-up geometry helps protect the nose on wheelies and jumps, while sideguards shield internal parts from flying debris. The central dual brake layout with lightweight fiberglass discs gives predictable stopping under load.
Precision Suspension and Handling
Suspension components focus on adjustability and control. The 16mm big-bore shocks and anodized aluminum shock towers provide damping and repeatable setup options across varied surfaces. Adjustable anti-roll bars and captured suspension pins tidy up handling, and angled bell cranks reduce bump steer for consistent steering feel during aggressive runs.
Novarossi Power and Drive Efficiency
Under the body sits the Novarossi engine, chosen for its strong torque and top-end potential. A polished tuned pipe complements the motor for improved exhaust flow. Power is applied through a 3-shoe racing clutch and compact gear differentials to deliver smooth acceleration and efficient transfer to the 4WD drivetrain.
Set Up and Upgrade Potential
The Cobra is made for tuning and upgrades, giving racers room to refine suspension, engine tuning, and drivetrain parts. The pre-painted Avenger Cobra shell and DragonRC high grip tires give a solid starting point for both looks and traction.
