The Serpent 600040 Cobra GT 1/8 Nitro On-Road Car showcases Serpent engineering aimed at racers who want precise handling and reliable construction. Built for asphalt circuits, this Cobra platform chassis balances stiffness and tuning flexibility to suit competitive racing.
The Cobra GT uses 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium for a strong yet lightweight foundation. Machined pockets control flex where needed while countersunk holes and a front kick-up meet racing rules and help underbody airflow. Carefully placed slots allow exact suspension mount positioning for repeatable setups.
Steering is refined with angled bell cranks to cut bump steer and improve Ackerman characteristics. Composite steering blocks with 10 degree C-hubs work with oversized arms and adjustable anti-roll bars to give responsive cornering and stability at speed.
The drivetrain relies on cardan shafts and compact gear differentials for durable power transfer. The SL8 2-speed gearbox, adapted from the Serpent 966, uses a centrifugal spring-loaded shoe system to manage gear changes smoothly and keep the Cobra GT at race pace.
A centrally mounted disk brake with ventilated glass fiber rotors provides strong, consistent stopping while keeping the centre of gravity low. The 150cc composite nylon fuel tank includes a tight-seal shock cap and routed tube guides for reliable fuel flow during hard driving.
For racers prioritising precise handling and toughness, the Serpent 600040 Cobra GT 1/8 Nitro On-Road Car offers a platform that responds well to setup changes and holds up under race conditions.
