Serpent 600006 Cobra Buggy Ready for Tough Off-Road Use
The Serpent 600006 Cobra Buggy 1/8 EP RTR brings a rugged, race-oriented package to drivers stepping into off-road competition. Built to balance durability and value, this RTR suits newcomers and experienced hobbyists who want a platform that is prepared for club tracks straight from the box.
Performance Components and Handling
The Cobra Buggy's 4WD drivetrain uses three compact gear differentials to spread power evenly and sharpen handling on mixed surfaces. Big-bore 16mm shocks combined with aluminium shock towers give consistent damping for jumps and rough sections, helping the car stay composed at speed.
Onboard Electronics and Drive Feel
Power comes from a DragonRC 1650kv brushless motor paired with a DragonRC 120A waterproof ESC, delivering strong acceleration and controllable top speed. Steering precision is handled by a DragonRC metal-gear servo, while the included 2.4GHz radio keeps driver inputs reliable during aggressive runs.
Chassis Design and Durability
The 7075 T6 aluminium chassis is both stiff and light, engineered with a front kick-up angle to reduce landing impacts. Sideguards and a low-profile battery box support balanced weight distribution and protect critical components during crashes.
Upgrade Path and Modularity
Although race-ready out of the box, the Cobra Buggy is designed for straightforward upgrades. Drivers can swap motors, ESCs, servos, or suspension parts to tune handling and power to their local track or personal driving style.
