Serpent 600047 Cobra GT 3.0 Asphalt Race Kit  [SER600047]

On-Track Focus: Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 Overview

The Serpent Cobra GT 3.0 is a purpose-built 1/8 scale nitro on-road racer that blends race-proven geometry with durable construction. Based on the established Cobra platform, this kit pairs a stiff 7075-T6 aluminum chassis with carbon fiber shock towers to deliver predictable handling and strong impact resistance for track use.

Performance Highlights and Build Details

At the heart of the car is the XLi superlight 2-speed gearbox, a design shared with the Viper 977-Evo kit, giving quick gear shifts and reduced rotating mass. Lower gearbox inertia helps the car change speed rapidly between corners, while the aluminium middle bearing blocks support the twin brake layout for improved feedback under braking.

The suspension is fully independent and tuned for on-road dynamics, featuring revised aluminium C-hubs and uprights for accurate steering geometry. Angled shock mounting via the new aluminium risers increases tyre contact and makes cornering more consistent, which benefits drivers chasing lap time improvements.

Durable Drivetrain and Chassis Engineering

A spring-steel drivetrain and gear differentials provide a robust power transfer system that stands up to frequent use. The 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium chassis includes machined reliefs to balance stiffness and weight, with a front kick-up angle to meet racing rules and optimized sidewall angles for torsional rigidity.

This Serpent platform suits advanced hobbyists and racers who want a tuneable, track-oriented 1/8 nitro touring car. Its tough materials and refined handling make it a dependable base for race setups and upgrades.
