Serpent Cobra GT in Detail for Track-Focused RC Drivers
For those passionate about RC racing, the Serpent 600042 Cobra GT RTR GP 1/8 is a standout choice. This nitro-powered touring car blends precise engineering with high-speed capability, offering a ready-to-run chassis that will appeal to club racers and dedicated hobbyists alike.
Engine Performance and Reliable Starts
At the core of this model sits a Novarossi pullstart engine manufactured in Italy. The motor is known for consistent running and dependable starts, and it is secured on machined aluminum mounts to keep the package stable during aggressive driving.
Robust 7075 T6 Chassis Layout
The Cobra GT uses a 7075 T6 aluminum chassis with a 3mm heavy-duty plate and a front kick-up angle to help absorb impacts on landings. Slots allow precise placement of suspension mounts while the angled side sections increase torsional stiffness without making the chassis brittle.
Steering Geometry and Suspension Setup
The car features an angled steering geometry designed to reduce bump steer for better straight-line tracking. Independent suspension with large 16mm big-bore shocks offers predictable damping and control across a variety of surfaces.
Transmission and Braking
The drivetrain includes a 2-speed SL8 automatic gearbox paired with cardan shafts for smooth power delivery and strong acceleration. A dual brake arrangement with lightweight glass-fiber discs gives precise braking modulation needed in club competition.
RTR Package Ready for Immediate Running
This Serpent Cobra GT ships with a Dragon-RC 2.4 GHz transmitter, pre-mounted GT race tires and a pre-painted shell so you can get on track quickly. The kit includes essential items to begin running right away while remaining upgrade-friendly for racers.
