Serpent 600017 Cobra SRX8 Pro Race 1/8 Nitro Buggy  [SER600017]

Race-Focused 1/8 Nitro Platform

If you live for lap times and setup tweaks, the Serpent 600017 Cobra SRX8 delivers a race-ready 1/8 scale 4WD nitro buggy built for precision and longevity. The chassis layout and component choices are aimed at drivers who demand repeatable handling and easy serviceability between heats.

Drivetrain and Braking Performance

The Cobra SRX8 includes large bore shock absorbers and a robust 3-gear differential arrangement that improves traction and stability. A double disk piston brake gives confident stopping, while the race clutch with carbon-style shoes helps manage power delivery under hard acceleration. Key transmission parts and wheel axles are springsteel for greater life under race stresses.

Chassis Design and Track Adaptability

Serpent increased differential volume with larger gear diffs to stabilise oil tuning during long runs. The wishbones accept multiple insert types so you can tune flex and roll. An angled steering layout reduces bump steer and refines Ackermann for smoother turn-in on technical sections.

Fine Tuning and Balance

Adjustments for caster, camber, toe and ride height are straightforward, letting you dial in balance for grip or rotation as needed. The revised chassis geometry and extended braces improve steering authority and rear traction, supporting consistent handling across varied surfaces.

The Serpent Cobra SRX8 suits experienced club and national level drivers who want a resilient, highly adjustable nitro buggy that responds to detailed setup changes.
